Day 8 - Tuesday 23/10,18 , I have added the nutrients into the Reservoir , she is making roots like you wouldn’t believe , over a foot long and branches , I will post a pic later , as I want the light off , talking of lights , the cycle is now 20/4 that’s 20 hrs of sun to 4 hrs of darkness , colour is good , leaves are quite fat . KEEP AN EYE ON PH AND EC DAILY !!! Lux @ 15,000 EC = +0.7 or 350 ppm Ph = 6.3 Day 9 - Wednesday , I checked the ph and a EC this morning , both were fine , put in about 50 ml of water , leaves getting fatter , roots are getting more dense and intricate Day 10 - Thursday , I tested the ph and EC , all was good, took a root shot for you Day 11 - Friday , tested ph and EC , all good , water level ok , ive noticed that it has actually turned around, can you see that? the leaves have turned..... from 10 to 4 to 6 oclock...!!! or am i losing it? lol..... Day 12 - Saturday , tested EC and ph , no water needed or nutes, leaves are green and getting bigger , look how compact the plants are , there is no stretching ,I have put more pebbles in to stop light leaks to the roots . Day 13 - Sunday - Checked EC and ph nothing needed Day 14 - Monday - Checked EC and ph , nothing needed , water level ok IMPORTANT 👁️ To prolong the lives of EC tester and ph tester ( digital ones ) ALWAYS WASH THEM OFF WITH CLEAN WATER AFTER EACH TEST 💯 you need to check the roots , in these pots if there is 2 in a system , they will become entangled and matted if you don’t lift them , EVERYDAY . Please note the pots are 14 cm in diameter

I would say , as it gets harder for you to keep the res full but another good way to tell would be when you check your root system if its filling up a good portion of your bucket I would change the pots then too because it may give the same effect as being root bound . There's no real way for me to give a real answer unless i seen your root mass but based on what I'm seeing in the pictures your plants are big and healthy and likely have a bad ass root system , Never hurts to give them more room to expand and become more kick ass as a result your plants will become more robust and kick ass! I know Iam no master but i hope you have found this information useful on understanding when to change from the starter box . -Happy Growing!

You can always try the classical approach and get a 12$ handheld microscope from amazon to look at the Trichomes! When looking at the Trichomes ideally you want as many Cloudy/amber trichomes as possible while minimizing the clear. Most people shot for the mass majority to be cloudy for a mental high, but some people enjoy the body feel that amber trichomes give. Personally I shot for 75%+ cloudy regardless of clear or amber. Be sure to prepare for the week of flushing when judging the harvest window based on Trichomes! I may not have helped you @BigDaddyK but I hoped I helped someone 😎

Yeah, I agree with you with why no one makes net pots that are about 1-2 inches deep before making holes in them.

@CRiSPrGrow, that seems like what we are looking for but 110 for a few 6 in netpots sounds out of my range. Also, going by the pics there are a bunch of different kinds, not all the same? But yes, that first and second on would work perfect!

Hello bro ! I had the same variation on a s1 cross I grew during the summer and it was the best yield from the 3 plants ( you can see it on my Instagram : picture #21)

@BigDaddyK,Thank you for the advices , I will give it a try soon to experiment DWC. And by the way , It seems that I was all wrong about your 3 leaves structure , it was just the cotyledons as I can see 😅👍
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyK
@OutForReal,if you want to improve yields you need a bigger light , and DWC is the optimum , I don’t really think you can truly understand the benefits until you give it a go , there is no waste apart from water , the way you can lock in the nutrients, the flush , the only downside is it seems to smell a bit less than soil , and if it goes wrong you are fucked .. Happy growing 👍

Looking great in the jungle as always brother 👊 Quick question for you, I've noticed you don't list anything in your nutes to keep root rot under control, no enzymes, hydroguard or peroxide based products so do you not think these work or have a beneficial effect? I ask because I've had issues this run as I decided to try out the air injection diffusers (ones you find on eBay made out of pipe and shaped) didn't check them and then did a res change so decided to check them and they were producing about 5 bubbles lol so my roots were sitting in stagnated water for a couple weeks, needless to say I got some root rot, anyway think I caught it just in time and have been using silver bullet roots ever since, was thinking about running silver bullets throughout next run, have you tried running a sterile res and if so what is your opinion on it?
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyK
@MrGreenFingers,problem is that smaller holes get clogged easier, just get a super powerful pump.. :)
MrGreenFingers
MrGreenFingers
@BigDaddyK, thanks man, much appreciated, yeah in my mission to create smaller bubbles I thought I would try out the diffusers but never again! Air should never be my issue as I have a 40lpm pump for 2 buckets, anyway have changed back to having 2 6inch airstones in each bucked, they produce huge bubbles and a lot of turbulence but no root rot so will stick with these now, think I will give the silver bullets a full grow run out next round once I've got to the end of this nightmare run!
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyK
@MrGreenFingers, well i have never had roots issues, but my number 1 concern is always airflow, i use two balls per bucket to make sure there is never any problems, i have run the temperatures very high in the water as well, the absolute key is airflow to the roots, if you have enough bubbles they never get stagnant, the only isssue can be when you change the reservoir, for me thats every week in flower, so the solution is never more than 7 days old, i used to use Cannazym but now i just use the Katana roots, they seem to stay white, much better with the Katana. I use tap water that has been ph d to 6.3 and left out for over 24 hrs to breathe.

Idk what you told her week 8 but she did a hell of a recovery. That just even more of a reminder for me to check my airlines everyday. DWC feels nice but opening the tent for the first time everyday is a breath-holding moment. (or in my case looking at the camera) I still wouldn't trade Hydro tho

You show topping as a technique but it doesn't look like you've done it this grow. I'm a couple of weeks behind you with Lemon AK and I was debating whether or not to top them since this is the first grow for this strain and I generally like to see how autos develop on their own the first time. Hope I can duplicate the fullness of these. Nice looking ladies

@bosgrower,I suppose with this plant ‘bottoming’ would be more appropriate l remove all the bottom
BigDaddyK

@bosgrower, i sometimes top my autos if they look like they are going to get too big, i mainly defoliate and pull the branches out a bit, the problem with topping autos is regrowth , and sometimes it just makes them smaller.. 👍

Oh man, that sucks. I had a similar situation happen on my first grow, basin ran dry and I lost one plant, one stunted, and one pulled through.
BeefWellingtons
BeefWellingtons
@BigDaddyK, no, actually yours is way more mature than mine was. She will pull through with support and first aid from you, but there is a chance it will effect your yield. But she is a big plant, you were going to get a phenomenal yield anyhow.
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyK
@BeefWellingtons, so in your opinion as a doctor she has a 1/3 chance of pulling thru..... :(
