Hi , I am an expert grower who is using Lucas formula with some little touches. First week was great. My goal always harvest at least 1 gr dried herb per watt at the final. We will see how this strain reacts together.
PH: 5.8
TDS: 580 ppm
This week was great. After the first roots touched to the water ph went up immediatly so I arrenged ppm from 580 to 800. Now she is happy and stable. I am using R.O water. if my water stable checking ppm and ph every day. İf not I am checking and correcting it at least 2 times a day 😉
This week went great. Water solution stayed stable. There wasnt any ph swing. My water is around 100 ppm as raw so the actual strenght of the soution is around 750 ppm. There was a burned leaf but it isn't a burn actually, İt is a kind of root stress. So I am not worried about it. I did some LST at the end of the week. As you can see she is alone in 1 squarefeet. I hope she will be cover the tent in 5 weeks :D Best wishes for now.
There is a little drop on PH at the very begining of the week. So I changed the water solution. the wheather is too dry here for this phase so I decide to put another bucked to the box;)
day 23: ph is rasing little up from 5.8 to 6.1. I am adding some nutrition to the solution. İts around 925 ppm. we will see tomorrow.
day 24: nutriton solution drop to 875 ppm and ph raised from 5.8 to 6 it means I have to fix water solution around 975 ppm :)
day25: ph raised a little, I arrenged water soution from 875 ppm to 990 ppm I will do it till ph gets stable.
day26: stable, healty
day27: I did some training today.
day28: stable healty
day29: yesterday she ate and drunk like a boss:D so I add more then 400 ppm and 5 lt of water to the dwc. lets see tommorow.
day30: ppm is down to 720 so I fixed it to 980. ph is stable.
day31: everything is just stable and fine . I am begininng to scrog today.
day32: stable and fine.
day33: I wasnt at home
day34: She drinks about 7 lt and ppm raised to 1280 and ph droped to 4. She had some stress about it. and I did some defoliation and half topping.
day35: I arrange water solution around 650ppm and 5.8 on ph. I will wait 2 more days for recovery then switch to blooming:)
Happy farming to everyon. As you can see she has signs of ph swing and defoliation stress. This week I will turn flowering after she recovers. Before I go to 12/12 I will dry the roots for 18 hours for boosting up the O2 intake.
day36: ppm raised a little to 720 and ph dropped to 5.5 it means she dont want to eat. I fixed the solution to 620 ppm.
day37: ph dropped to 5.5. ppm raised 690. she needs to rest I am going to dry her roots instead of flushing.
Last week. I was out of town for a job. And everything went wrong, ph swinged and e.c boosts. This strain is so vulnerable to ph swing. But she is recovering. The only thing bothers me that this grow will not be my average at the end.
day44: ppm dropped from 1380 to 1200 and ph raises from 5.8 to 6.3. it means she needs more food. I fix the solution to 1490 ppm and 5.8. she is recovering
day45: same as yesterday. she wants to eat .I fix the solution to 1700 ppm and do some scrog action. I will check again in 4 hours .
day46: ppm dropped to 1500 and ph boost to 6.2 . I fix her to 1875ppm. She is healty
day48: she is calm I am happy :D
day:49 today I add 8lt of water to the bucked. She is drinking and eating in same amount. she is happy I am happy :D I hope after this week I will begin second floor of scroging 😎
day50: She is happy with the ppm so ph is stable. today she smells so fregrant and tasty :D I activated the carbon filter for smell and also for humidty. I did some defoliation but I cannot reach back part, will do it while water change. scrog action is going on!
day51: ph and ppm are both stable. she drunks 2 lt last night. Bud sights are seeable. And smells very nice even today. I am so excited 😬
day52: She drunk about 5 lt. and ppm raised to 2100 but ph is stable. I added the lost water. I will check again just before dark period. Her OG ancestors become visible:D
day54: she drunk about 14 lt in 2 days ph is stable. ppm raised to 2300. I changed the DWC. I will scrog her again when ph and ppm will stable. ppm:1820 ph:5.8
DAY55: Today I am sad a bit. My girl told me that she is genderfluid 😎 But I love him/her anyways. Long story short I will keep her till end for for my ediable recipes and for seeds. P.S: This strain is so new that it couldnt be a stable femine. May be next year at 40.cloning it will be stable. Thx green house for lots of hermie genetics seeds :D
day56: stable I am beginig second floor of scrogging :)
day57: she/he drunk 6lt of water. ph and ppm are stable as hell :D I will add 1900ppm of water to DWC ;)
day 58: I added 10 lt of water :) And did some major defoliation. I am begging for night temperatures drop to 14-15 celcius for trigger purple genetics. Best wishes 👊
day 61: I added 6 lt of 2300 ppm water which is prepared with the Lucas formula. She is happy :D
day 63: she is happy and fine
day64: I will be out of town for 5 days. My mom will take care of her. Best luck
day66: yesterday ppm raised a little, mom dropped ppm to 2500, she is stable today :)
day69: a little yellow on the leafs disapointed me a little. but I will be back tomorrow from trip. wait me my girl :)
day70: I am back and did the last defoliation, she is smelling like melon gum. yummy :D everything is fine 💪
day71: she looks fine, we have 2 weeks more :)
day72: 2500 ppm is a level that can be considered toxic for many species. This species exhibits a truly unusual feeding habit. Sometimes I get into trouble because it contradicts general feeding idea. But DWC cultivation is not something that can be done by old habbits or toughts. The plant clearly shows what it wants. 2500 ppm 5.8 stable.
day73: She is happy I am too:D
day74: She drunk 8lt. yesterday ppm raised to 3500 and ofcourse ph dropped to 4.7. I fixed it to 2200ppm and 5.8 ph.
day75: so stable
day76: without any drama :D
day75: It is very normal for cal/mag deficiency to occur in plants that like this type of heavy nutrition feeding habbit. pH 5.8 cuts calcium intake. I needed to fix water mixture to 6.2 ph. and that would solve the problem instantly, or I was supposed to start adding cal/mag last week. I didn't have time to buy the fertilizer. long story short I did bad parenting :D
day77: Water change 1400 ppm 6.2 ph
day80: PH dropped PPM raised that means she dont want to feed. I have tops 10 more days to harvest. Ppm:880 ph:5.9
day81: she needs flushing and happy :D I am looking for %10 amber and %90 spermy color. then I will do the harvest.
I had to go out of town twice for 5 days for a business trip. Minor errors occurred at that time. It's an easy genre overall. You should not be afraid of fertilizing too much. I'll be back with comments on taste, dry weight and feel. By the way, I'm waiting for your dry weight estimates, I think it will be between 145-165 grams.
