Giving my FIRST EVER go at hydro!!! This little girl popped up today and got put to her forever home! Looking to start out with a 4 week veg and then flip to flower! Wish me luck!
Day 7 above rockwool and this girl is getting some good growth! Just gave her a fresh water Change yesterday and added some Advanced Nutrients using half strength of the PH Perfect Sensi Master Recipe! I'll gradually move up to full strength by week 3. She's looking good!
Day 15 and I'm keeping her alive! She's thriving! Gave her a fresh water Change this week with nutes. Really looking forward to finishing this hydro grow!
Huge difference from last week! Shes been thriving although battling some white slime. Attempting to correct the issues now. But we're looking good at day 22. Also tied her over to start some LST! Switched from Advanced Nutrients to General Hydroponics MaxiGrow. More simple. Less products.
She's growing good! Was able to start some LST on this girl. I think I'll be flipping the light schedule in the next day or 2. As I said before, I don't want to veg long as this is my first hydro grow. Can wait to see how she turns out.
Turns out, this girl is an AUTO!! Not a photo. Here we are at day 36! She's looking awesome! I've been doing a lot of LST on it trying to get as many tops as I can. I've even tried some minor HST and she's been bouncing back up quick. I'm having to tie down every day now. Day 21, I plan to defoliate and remove the smaller growth and let her rock out!
Here we are! Day 15 of flower and this thing is a stretch monster! HUGE difference from last week! Shes been topped(unintentionally), and she never stopped growing. Tried to tape the top back on but, it died. So we move on. I have my light pretty close and as high of intensity as I'd like(Spider Farmer G4500) at 80%. Looks like I'll have to chop this one down in sections because it looks like the front side buds will be getting done faster than the back side. If you zoom in on the big pic, you could see what I'm talking about! Happy Growing!
Here we are day 58(day 29 of flower) and this girl is looking alright. The ridiculous stretching has stopped and now the buds are starting to get bigger. In one part of the video, you can see where my LST ties started cutting into the thick stalk. This may have caused the erratic stretching. Luckily I found it in time. I think this plants will be all nice nuggets. Even the lower buds are already nice sized! Looking forward to see how she finishes.
So as some may have read and seen, this plant have been growing weird and crazy. But I like it! Today is day 38 of flower for the top half of the plant. If you look close, due to the extreme stretching, the bottom half(circled in blue) didn't start flowering until one and a half to two and a half weeks after the top. So that's gonna have to wait and finish(maybe). I'd be surprised to see it all finish at the same time. But she's looking good!
Day 48 of flower and day 77 total. Started giving her some Kool Bloom nutes and she's taking it well. Buds have some good looking structure and is packing on weight. I'm going to tie them up for the last few weeks. Looking forward to the finish line!
Day 56 and the buds have packed on some major weight. I had to tie up several branches due to them falling over. I've cut out the MaxiBloom and now she's getting only liquid kool bloom for the next 2 weeks. I gave half strength this week, next week I will give her 1/4 strength, and then only water. I estimate she'd be done in 2-3 weeks. She's at about 90 percent cloudy. Pretty cool to see one plant have 2 different color buds and structure. Never had a plant do that before. Can't wait til she finish!
Finally harvested this girl at days 68. She is heavy. After cutting the ties, this girl just fell over from the weight! Very minimal larf! Even the lower bud sites are nice! Can't wait to see what she weighs once dry! First DWC grow was an overall success!
