Sorry no pics..bt moved her up to the big box and bigger reservoir...buzy Harvesting my plant before the new grow..Was taking more pics of the harvest...my bad..
They are growing wonderfully!!switchd for a early start on bloom...I switched from CFL bulbs to LEDs...My CFL Setup kicked out 216W..well...switching to LEDs my Watts downed alot to 76W...140w is a big difference...I was getting a good result with the CFLs however the density of the buds is just not there..Normal CFL results i guess...so I'll see what happens..hoping for th best..NUTRIENT CYCLE FOR DWC-TF (DEEP WATER CULTURE WITH TOP FEED)

NUTRIENTS DILUTED PER 10Ltr OF WATER (5ltr water ÷ nutrients by 2)
That is a my own Nutrient cycle I formulated. It gave me a good result. Want to see how it will work for different strains though..
The plant is not reacting well to the strain and the low PH..the plant is showing signs of magnesium deficiency.. the PH is at 5.8..added Epsom salt 1/4 tsp..plant shows improvement..going to flush her and add the new weeks nutrients and see how she reacts..
First week of bloom..still giving her Grow(nitrogen)added a 1/4 ts of Epsom salt to boost th magnesium alittle..i dont have all that fancy nutrient mixes..i have to make due with what i have.. I will completely switch to Micro and Bloom next week...first have to see how she reacts to the nutrients..
Well..she is showing signs of magnesium deficiency could be zinc but im sure its magnesium..perhaps the PH is to low for the absorption of magnesium..PH is at 6.0 ..perhaps a PH of 6.4 will work..going to leave her for now..is very early in th morning and she just woke up..so lets see during the course of the day..
The reservoirs PH keeps droping and the plant is drinking alot of water yet showing signs of nute deficiency.. I read up on it..could this be due to salt build up or is it due to the plant having to much nutes? wel most suggestions says I should flush for a day or two and then start with nutes but start low..i started with the flush today..going to give it 2days and then start with nutes and see if it works...i need to sort her out a.s.a.p before heading into full bloom..she started the flowering as wel..but her colour is upsetting..any suggestions? any help will be greatly appreciated..
She has started to flower..how ever the discoloration of th leaves is worrisome..will have to wait and see if there is improvement this week coming..fingers crossed..
She is budding so well but her cilour is so upsetting! i finally gound the problem as to why shes acting up and its my nutes..it must of gotten hot of something coz the nutes lost their colour as well..yet my nutes are surely depleted... she is fighting to grow which is not good at all..want to cgange nutes from EHG to GH Flora..all venders are out of stock on the GH Flora series..unbelievable right..its been a whi week and no stock at all yet..a friend has and helpd me out with some..so we will see in week 13 for any improvements..but right now, that it for week 12..
Bug Thanx to my buddy for the help with the nutes..u saved my baby..she is recovering well and is budding even better..im very happy becoz she is happy..just have to keep her happy nw..finger crossed..
My friend gave me enough nutes to get me through another week..salute to u my friend..still waiting on the suppliers to get stock..their stock is delayed my a week..troublesome..but i can only hope for the best..she recovered well not totally though but we getting there..buds are growing..im happy for that..wush me luck..
So I was suppose to flush for only 3days..I ended up flushing her for a whole week..during the flush the plants leaves are to go yellow then u know the flush is done..well in her case she became greener..so I left her to do her thing..I bought EHG nutes again since all suppliers are out of stock on the GH Flora series..have to make due for now for her health and the bud sack..
She is recovering well and is showing new growth..thank goodness.. the Ph dropped after two days..i Ph'd up and she was just diing her thing..its getting hit outside like realy hot and humid..im using Ice bricks to keep my reservoir cool and one ice brick infront of one of the intake fans..box read 30°C and after the ice bricks its averaged at around 25.4°C..its oky not bad but it still needs to drop for me..struggling with that but atleast she is in the green at 25.4°C..
Started the Ripening..only one weeks to go before harvest.. She has fully recoved and is pushing bud..im so happy..what a fight..but she is strong..Ph dropped..i picked it up again and everything was good..she is pushing out alot of Trichromes which im happy for..last week coming up and then a flush..
Last week of flowering..is been a fight bt we made it to th last week..i know she could have done so so much better but im satisfied with what ever she gives me..she has been through alot..all tht is left is a 4 day Flush with a Ph of 6.8..then it's havest time!
I was expecting this buds to be red or have redish hair..but.its orange..could it be due to th stress the plant went through or what? im happy she made it..and she gave me an oky harvest with 82.42g wet bud..just waiting for th buds to dry now...
I love seeing people grow landraces, They need to be preserved before they disappear forever as some have already sadly. I especially love the African landraces!
Hey Dude. Looking good so far. Want to ask , where did you find your seeds? I brought some straight outa Angola and Im hoping I strike it lucky and its the same strain your growing.
Hey bro! Awesome grow! I’m running in the Fastbuds iPhone contest , if you could stop by my 2xGSC-COCO journal and leave a comment I’d really appreciate it! Goodluck!
thanx buddy..had a tough time with her..nutrients depleted and and and..all im happy for is that she atleast gave me some bud..a few good looking nugs..
Hey buddy..I got my seed straight out of Angola too..got to smoke the bud and all..lived in Namibia close to the border of Angola and the Strain Angolan Roja aka Angolan Red is what we got in th area..even though it was grown as an outdoor in the wild..its still on of the best highs ive ever had..can only wonder how she will be as an indoor and well cared for!
