Hi guys, just a quick info for whoever read this diary: I started this run with two plants but during Week 9 (57 days: 49 vegetative + 8 flowering) I had to remove the one on the right due slow growth (issue started after I topped her). Enjoy the reading. ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ Third run begins. ๐Ÿช๐ŸฆCookies Gelato by RQS, my first time with photoperiods. I created this diary at the end of January but due some problem with the new drip system (too ph oscillations), I decided to go back to my first love: the DWC. This time, however, I decided to build my own DWC, taking into account the negative aspects that I find in the expensive DWC of various brands. This tank has about 50 liters capacity and on the bottom I have inserted a metal tap that will help me with the solution changes. The lid is made up of two parts, the upper one on which I made a hole in which I inserted a 2 liter planter full of expanded clay and the two root riot; the front part of the lid is magnificent because it opens and allows me to do a quick check of PH and EC. This time I'm going to count the days from the germination date. I'm going to VEG for about 40 days, then switch to 12/12 for about 70 days. I plan on topping the plants during week 4, then defoliation + SCROG during week 5, switch 12/12 during week 6. Then lollipopping at the end of the stretch. In this run I will use my new MARS HYDRO TS1000 2022 (already have one with 2021 MOSO driver), bought a few days ago to test the latest model with the proprietary Mars Hydro driver. I'm sure there will be further improvement in my performance ๐Ÿ’ช. No sponsor for me yet, what I have is what I bought but I hope someone can help me to bring my crops to the next level. I'm planning to buy a new 90x90 tent and a nice 300/480 watt lamp would be very nice. Crossed fingers! ๐Ÿคž ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑGERMINATION STAGE๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ - 20/2/23: seeds in a glass of demineralized water, 2 drops of rootbastic and 3 drops of hydrogen peroxide for 24 hours, then in root riot; - 21/2/23: seeds under TS1000: 100 cm distance / 33% dimmer = 50 watt; - 22/2/23: first Cookies Gelato sprouted; - 23/2/23: second Cookies Gelato sprouted. - Got some gift from RQS, really appreciated. I'll consider tomorrow as 1ยฐ day of veg for all 2 seedlings. I'll switch 'em to 12/12 after 40/45 days of veg.

It's just a common pigment mutation in that particular pheno. I have it on my lilac diesel 22 x crescendo 11 and at first I thought it was tobacco mosaic virus but as long the plant continues to grow at a normal pace you should have nothing to worry about my guy. Hope this helps.

Hi guys, yesterday I changed the solution in DWC and today I saw some foam in the tank. I had some ph oscillation and used first ph down and after some silica to raise ph. I guess that could cause that foam, what do you think? Some tips?

I have no idea what is causing the foam but I wouldn't want it in MY reservoir... If you're not going to change your reservoir out again, I'd at least add some H2O2 (about a tsp per gallon) - but if this was MY grow, I'd change that out again right quick.... and clean the reservoir/bucket (can't tell what you use) with H2O2 very well before filling it back up. Good luck....

Hi guys, what should I do to fix these problems? 1) I see a lot of white tips on the leaves on the left one. 2) On the other hand the right one leaves show weird veins or am I wrong? Please take a look to the diary for the info you need, thanks a lot.

So your plants are under performing and that's because your ppm is too low. For week five you should be at least around 800-1000ppm by now and into bloom my friend. Not sure if it's because of the training you're doing but I would start giving them the nutrients they need. Hope this helps.

Why did you choose to keep 3 pots at the end instead of 4 ?

DeepWaterGrower
@SwissKush, you know I like trouble ๐Ÿ˜… anyway I'm reconsidering two TS1000's, it's really hard to hang them well in a 60x60. Guess I'll go with just one, the new one with the new Mars Hydro driver ๐Ÿ˜

@DeepWaterGrower, hey man I would listen to @Salokin and @Z4Z0Z recommendations. 3 photoperiod White Widow plants will outgrow this 60cm x 60cm space very fast and cause a bad humidity problem. Also, I am very concerned that your 2 TS1000 lights in this small space mounted incorrectly will drive temperatures to a point that cannot be managed. Trust us. Go with a bigger tent if you intend to grow 3 plants. If you cannot get a bigger tent because of space concerns, then stick with 1 plant and a good scrog, with 1 single TS1000 where temperatures can be controlled. ๐Ÿ˜

@Salokin, hey man! I know it will be complicated but I am convinced to proceed with 3 seedlings in this run, it will require a lot of cleaning work but I am ready๐Ÿ˜

Best of luck with your grow, I have a bunch of those sortera boxes at home myself. Maybe Iโ€™ll give it a try. Seeing the results you and others produce.

@DeepWaterGrower, not really, but I like the idea, especially because of the easy access to the reservoir. I guess you used a regular tankwalve (or whatever you call that in English), to drain the tank? I used something similar for an outdoor drip hydrosystem as a tank when I lived in the south.

Hey growmie, reading about your ph frustrations and can definitely feel your pain. What solved the issue for me is that I switched to the canna aqua series. The marketing bla bla says that it contains ph stabilizers. Since I am using their products I only adjust ph once when preparing my nutrient solution and then after 5-7 I change the reservoir. I have not observed any nutrient lockouts due to ph issues. Before I used, a Hesi and advance nutrients, however was not able to control the ph there either and switched. Further, not sure if you did that already, but before I use my pebbles or reuse them, I usually boil them in RO water for 30-60min and then rinse them properly from all the small granulate and then soak them in ph adjusted water for 24 hours. Right now I have just measured my ph and itโ€™s after 7 days of recirculating at 4.9, however the plant is not showing any signs of deficiency, rather tip burn from a to heavy solution. Hope that helps a little and happy growing :)

@DeepWaterGrower, coming to think of it, maybe you left them to long in the water with hydrogen peroxide, I did that once for to long and 1 didnโ€™t germinate, one mutated weirdly, but the last one was a champion.

@Salokin, I saw it, nice outcome. Yep, isn't a pigment problem but something worst. I'll let her for one week more to give her a chance. Difference between the plants is huge
Salokin
Salokin
@DeepWaterGrower, I donโ€™t think itโ€™s necessary a pigment issue, maybe some other form of mutation. Itโ€™ll most likely resolve its self, if she shows stunted growth Iโ€™d think about removing her, but if not Iโ€™d wait how itโ€™ll play out. If you look at my fastbuds diary the wedding glue was a mutant and yielded triple as much as the others, but she was polyploidy.

@Cygi86, hey man, there isn't much more than what you see but in the evening I get home and add a few more photos. In any case, contact me privately for any information you need. This system is a hydropro60 from Platinum Hydroponics and the pots are 12 LT and full of clay (go read the germination week of this diary, there's a bit of info). In the future I will probably go back to dwc, it was my first love ๐Ÿ˜. I saw your crop and it's awesome, you rock!

Looking good man. That's a interesting Lil set up , I'm still on my first attempt at dwc with a bucket and a autoflower. Kinda doubt I'll be doing any more autos after these tho. To much to relearn I miss my photoperiod lol. But again best of luck to you my friend!!
