Okay guys,
so here the deal. A few things happened over the last week. First, I was using the Connoisseur line of Advanced Nutrients and something felt not right (not stating that it's the nutrients fault). Second, it turned out that my air stones in the hydro setup gave up on me and made my plants drown over the whole period. I didn't know what was up with them, but the moment I bought and placed new quality air stones into the reservoirs, all the deficiencies went away in a matter of 24h which was ridiculous because I've never seen this kind of jump in vigor. I was using the BoomBoom spray from Bio Tabs over the whole period multiple times a day and i strongly believe that this made my plants survive. I'm also using my trusted Co2 bags because they made some huuuuuge leaves before.
I topped all plants in hydro and we're off to a new chapter in their life. I'm going to wait a week or two with the idea of topping them several times because I love to top plants, regulars or automatic ones, I don't care and it never was problem for the folks out there that don't top their automatic plants :)
Everything is working great! I've exchanged the whole reservoir with the whole Xpert Nutrients line of products because they just came in. So thanks again Xpert Nutrients for this whooping package of bad ass products! I'll use them wisely ;)
Now, let's cross our fingers for a quick recovery (which normally lasts 24-48h in hydro instead of a week) so I can top'em again.
See ya!
PS: I don't know what I'm about to do with the Wedding Cheesecake that just sprouted because it's so small and it supposed to go into the hydro setup as soon as I transplant the regulars into the flowering room in a week, but then again, the only automatic plant, namely the Purple Lemonade which is also fricking vigorous in the hydro setup is so big already, I'll need to change nutrients to bloom, but damn, I'd love to use the hydro space for at least one more plant... well, let's see what happens.
@xpertnutrients, thank you so much guys :D. I can't wait until the final weeks of my plants in hydro and your nutrients. Then I'll take them for a proper photoshooting :D they look already like diamonds thanks to your nutrient line
@Herbie101, If you want to see what's coming in terms of trichome worlds, then just head over to the last flowering weeks of my previous grows seasons and you'll see what I mean ;)
@BudBoutique, you're totally right! I have so much fun working with the plants and watch them respond to my actions. It's one of the best hobbies in the world, especially when your growroom is pretty much dialed in :D
@Hydro_Hiebs, Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! I just finished shooting the first part of this plant in a studio setup. Hopefully some real bangers will present themselves ;)
@limelight77, thanks a lot! Had no idea that she could get this fricking big. Even my previous grows of photoperiods weren't as big as this one, only when I left them for a longer veg...
@Qutro, yeah, not a fan of the waiting game... but with that heavy yield, I can smoke through the time in no time and still have a bunch cured waiting...
Enhorabuena por la cosecha!
Un rendimiento espectacular πππ
Y tus fotos son impresionantes. Merece la pena las mil fotos que debes hacer para seleccionar estas πͺ
Such a beauty.π Heard good things about Orca, is it worth using it? I am new to DWC so any info, advice will come in handy. Have a lovely weekend.π¨
@Qutro, thank you for the question. Before I answer it, I wanted you to know that you can also dm me. Yes, orca is bonkers. She makes plants develop a LOT more roots in no time. If you want your plants to explode in growth, use it.
