Two girls one cup week 5?? I cant count ATM.. if you're just tuning in, check previous week's for daily progression. Day 28- off to an explosive start for the week. Eating and drinking more than ever. Topping off RES daily between 30-40 fl oz with calmag'd water. Changed RES yesterday to 3/4 strength week 4 GHE light. Breakdown as follows. 2gal water/calmag - 200ppm Micro - 9mL Grow - 8.4mL Bloom - 6.3mL RES total after ph corrections - 720 @ 5.68. Light up 30in - 20 DLI Already had to top off with 26oz calmag'd water this morning and I just changed RES last night. TDS dropped from 720 to 661 within 12hrs, as well as the water level. Ph drift up to 6.18 as usual. I really think every other day RES changes may help keep these girls npk right where it needs to be with how much they're eating. As long as I don't stress em too much more that is. Last week was rough on the girls for sure. Gave em a .5mL shot of Micro tonight to boost nitrogen levels a bit due to the coloration on lower fan leaves and some uppers. May supplement more N into next RES change right off the bat Will add to the timelapse daily as long as i dont f up the footage like i have done many times already. Day 29- still looking a little hungry and how fast tds is dropping it def shows in more than one place. Bump up RES to full strength week 4 GHE light. Breakdown as follows. Water - 2gal Micro - 12mL Grow - 11.2mL Bloom - 8.4mL Total after ph corrections: 5.68/980 They're def bushing up. The stretch is coming and GC already shows signs of it starting. Wish they'd bush up more before, but i gotta roll with the flow. Definitely branching out down all over and are showing signs of explosive growth yet again. Thinking about turning on the green night light again to show night time movement with the day. Thoughts?? Day 30- these girls are some PIGS! I JUST changed RES yesterday, and they've already eaten 1/3rd of its concentration. From 980 down to 601 in 24hrs! More if you think about my RES top offs every 12hrs (with 200ppm calmag'd water) adding back something versus just diluting further. I know I said I wouldn't stress the girls anymore, BUT... I supercropped the stretching tops on both, and gave em a mild defoliation. Hated to see more big leaves go.. but they're blocking light to everything I want to bush out NOT stretch up. The stretch is coming, but we still have time to train so may as well. *edit* went a lil nuts supercropping.. WG is taking it like a champ. GC I was a little rough with and crushed the 3 up top a lil too much. They're turned up towards the TSW2000, so they're not dead. RES change tonight with TDS drop as fast as it did. So there will be two updates today. woohoo! Day 31- both made a speedy recovery from the second round of abuse. will be doing another RES change tonight. same week 4 GHE light, i may bump up the formula some since the TDS dropped 360+ ppm in 24 hrs the other day. just dont want to overdue it since i just got done stressing them TF out AGAIN and they wont be eating as much while repairing (i think)... i will update later after RES change if i decide on running anything other than whats mentioned above. *TDS broke a thousand tonight.. lets see if we can keep em from dropping too much in the next 12hrs. Not fully repaired, but S.C. locations all over are already growing like nothing even happened. Wedding Glue's branches and main are thick asf! Wait till harvest and I bet they'll double or more. Will have to cut bigger openings in the silicon mat to keep from choking them off. **update** AM RES check, TDS dropped from 1077 to 679 in 12hrs! And I've read all over not to take autos over 6-700ppm... seems I feed em more, they eat ALLOT more. WTF??! Day 32- got out a net to see if it actually fits the tent, and to see how I felt about using it. So far, it fits but I'm not feeling it. So it came back out. Another round of defoliation tonight, and standard top off ph correct RES. am going to start every other day RES changes now to keep em happy. Day 33- plants drinking roughly 42fl Oz every 12hr. Defol AGAIN... got rid of some of the smaller stuff down low so all the plants energy can be focused to somewhere that matters. bumped up the TDS around noon today a bit and moving towards bloom nutes. Giving them a little more calmag to help with repairs from supercropping and all the defol 3 days in a row. Breakdown as follows. Water/calmag/h²o² - 2 gal (300ppm) Micro - 10.6mL Grow - 9.2mL Bloom - 12mL RES total after ph correction - 1174ppm Just did my every 12hr RES check and TDS has dropped from 1174 to 881. I measure before topping off with calmag'd water too. Helps in my data crunching and calculations. At this rate, they'll be down below 600 by morning. Wasn't planning on daily RES changes until they were much further along. Really want to see how big the root structure is in the RES, but don't want to rip roots wrapped on the ice probe. If I had one of those probe cameras I could poke it in my top off/fill port and take a peek. Day 34- really wish i had a spare down tube installed so i could utilize a top off RES. once this gets too low, it stops top feeding. not a big deal cause theres plenty of bubbles brewing in the RES to dwc it for a few hours. well... theres two bitches in the cup, theyre eating and drinking like pigs already. i am WELL over the "650-700" max ppm for an auto and climbing trying to keep both of them as happy as possible without hurting em. theyre only going to get bigger, thirstier, and hungrier as time passes. i see the 2k mark in the near future for sure. GC showing some purple on the tops of a few bigger petioles on GC and WG showing purple striping on the bottom of some of its branches. after watching vid from today, I DEF need to hit my fans with some tape like a lint roll. and yes, I play them music 🤣. WG is def a strong fucking pheno for sure!! thick branches, tight node spacing when given appropriate lighting. props to FastBuds for sure! changed RES tonight around 6pm to the GHE wk1 bloom MEDIUM feed. breakdown as follows: water - 2gal (300ppm) micro - 12.2mL grow - 10.6mL bloom - 13.6mL RES totals after PH corrections - 1237 ppm, 5.51 PH (letting them get the full sweep today) didn't I say I wasn't going to stress the girls anymore?? damnit! guess I'm a liar.. did a lil schwazzz on the girls tonight. left a few fans for shits and giggles. they're either going to stack up or herm out 🤣.. either way, we're in this together to the end. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my current grow. I apologize for rambling, but information collected will be good references for future auto grows for me.

Anyone use a reptile ceramic heat emitter to heat their smaller tent? Grabbing an elitech temp/humidity controller and a reptile fogger since the unit I'm running will prob never have wifi app support again. Could plug the heat emitter on the "heat" side and keep it high up??

Gosh man, I just saw the drill time video. I'm laughing a lot, but I'm also very interested!
SmokieMcPot
SmokieMcPotcommented2 years ago
@DeepWaterGrower, the shock seemed to get things moving in the right direction. plant appeared confused as to what it wanted to do up until then. i dont think i would recommend it on a crop you care about. was done as an experiment to see how it reacted. will need to recreate on another crop to see if it has the same effect or not.
DeepWaterGrower
DeepWaterGrowercommented2 years ago
@SmokieMcPot, I saw the stabbed with tweezers too, so do you noticed a good reaction after that? That's interesting
SmokieMcPot
SmokieMcPotcommented2 years ago
@DeepWaterGrower, I've stabbed GC a few times with tweezers and seemed to have kicked it into high gear (finally). Read up on stem splitting and came up with this. Not enough room to get in there without splitting myself open 🤣. May bring home the drill and a #7 bit for round two today.

Ezzjaybruhcommentedweek 62 years ago
Looking stellar.. nice work. This is the issue I had with autos in hydro (if you can call it that) is the growth is so fast and dense you feel you have to defoliate so often. It’s tough cuz at some point that will slow down significantly, and you want to make sure you have plenty of foliage for the bulking stage. What has happened to me in the past was I went to far at that critical point, and ended up with less than optimal canopy for bulking.. if that makes sense. Excited to see how she turns out
SmokieMcPot
SmokieMcPotcommented2 years ago
@Ezzjaybruh, you aren't kidding about the push. I can see running an auto from time to time on the side. Especially if you have multiple tents. You can really learn from photos
Ezzjaybruh
Ezzjaybruhcommented2 years ago
@SmokieMcPot, yea man.. I’ll do an abusive auto run occasionally to test some shit out but photos are so much easier frankly. That’s what annoys me with all the marketing towards beginners starting with autos.. it should be the opposite. You fuck up a bit with an auto everything can go outta whack and you’re on a rigid timeline - not long after that shit usually hits fan
SmokieMcPot
SmokieMcPotcommented2 years ago
@Ezzjaybruh, thank you. I know exactly what you're saying about almost daily plucks. I've gone too far too late before as well and ended up murdering the plant and starting over. Trying not to do that again. WG leaves changing shape letting me know to slow down on her. GC i think I have another week maybe. Second time with autos, and after this one were going back to photos for sure. MUCH more forgiving

Sweet man I saw your question and now I’m following it.. if you got cooling of the res than I’d say go for the heating element.. tho you could probably get a little heater fan.. more expensive tho. I use a small space heater in my 8x4 and 8x10 at times PS - water farms are badass. I had the water farm kits on a few 5 gallons way back in the day
SmokieMcPot
SmokieMcPotcommented2 years ago
@Ezzjaybruh, appreciate the response on the ?. i thought about a space heater too. this seems like the best option for how tight this space will get with photos later on. def agree about the water farms. my buddy saved this one for me for over 20yrs. upgraded it a bit before its second run. hoping to re-create the first grow in this one, just with two fems this time instead of some dudes from bag seed.

Looking lovely, I am a big fan of companion planting so it's nice to see someone else planting two in the same pot. Your training is pretty much exactly what I have in mind for mine so I shall follow along with this one and see how you get on! :)

UnorthadoxDudecommented2 years ago
@SmokieMcPot, if you want some inspiration from a beginner, take a look at "Karen" in my current grow series. Look at the first three weeks... and then see what happens. These plants are pretty resiliant.

SmokieMcPotcommented2 years ago
@UnorthadoxDude, ive made a few mistakes already but think i spotted them quick enough. ill continue to update daily, even if it ends up a loss.

UnorthadoxDudecommented2 years ago
@SmokieMcPot, Zero chance of disappointment (unless you just stop updating I guess), but no matter what happens with the grow, if you record and post it it will help someone somewhere someday.

Bellísimo, una pregunta bro te haz hecho tú mismo tu sistema hidropónico ? por que no he visto esa máquina en ningún grow, están buenas las plantas, y otra pregunta si las germinó en lana de roca no pasa nada si luego le hecho la arcilla así como haz hecho tú con la turba sería de gran ayuda un saludo

@Pherguay, thanks homie. I made a larger version of the waterfarm. It's waiting for its turn in the tent. I uploaded a vid of it during week 6 I think. I've never used Rockwool, but I don't see that being a problem.
