Sour Diesel RDWC

Not much to say. She’s just get started. Watering manually.

Taking off slower than I’d like. I thought tap roots were in water but I was wrong. Watering by hand still

I thought surely by now the roots are in the water. But wrong again still haven’t broke through. So they have started showing phosphorus deficiency.

Topped this week. I’m still watering by hand because the roots are just now popping out of clay pebbles. Hopefully soon theylll reach the water. Next time around I’ll use QuickStart.

Lots off defoliation lots of bending and LST. I switched to organic tea. I’m brewing my own tea now. I’m using seabird guano. Floralicous plus. Micro brew and bananas and Suva at panela to feed the microbes. Once I made the switch these ladies took off. The color is better the smell of plants are better but the smell of tea is horrible but that’s to be expected.i use 1 cup tea per gallon of water. I’m loving my new set up with Marshydro fc-3000 evo I can control from my phone love that feature and I’m loving this tent. And I’m loving my home made DWC system. I want to add that I started using supplemental UV/IR lights 2 hours in morning 15minutes before main light turns on. 2 hours in middle of day and two hours before main light turns off but they stay on 15 minutes past main light. I think that has helped these ladies as well. When I make the switch to 12/12 I’ll also turn on the deep red supplental lights. Only thing I don’t like about the deep red led is there’s a thick cloudy plastic on it and I feel like it’s hindering the red maximum output. I thought about cutting it off but then that makes them NOT waterproof. I’ll put a picture up so ya can see. Semper Fi and let’s GROW!

Wow this girl came up and past the white widow. I should have taken pictures of the roots. I had to unclog the return line to reservoir roots grew all the way down and clogged it up. I was so surprised to see so many healthy roots. The last time I checked they were just starting to come out of clay pebbles. These girls are healthy with no nutrient burns or deficiencies that I can tell. Well maybe a little some of the leaves are discolored. I think I over loaded with nitrogen. I diluted the mix a little more and that seem to work. I’m excited to see what these lights can do. I turned on the far red lights. Happy growing folks.

Good week. This girl is really stretching. She could take up entire grow room if I didn’t cut her down some. Everything is going well. I started new nutrients honey chome. I hear it really makes the smell stronger. Fingers crossed on that. I little worried about the led light. It’s been 7 days since 12/12 flip and no white hairs I’m used to hps light and 6 days is all it takes before white hairs. Let’s grow!!

Wow what a week. This plant is a monster. The uv/IR light has made it really stretch. Everything is going well. It took longer than I wanted on seeing flowers but were there now and I’m feeding her pretty heavy. She drinks a gallon of water everyday. I should have started flowering a week earlier I’ve ran out of room in this tent. A little side note I ran into a freebie. I’m making my own compost tea and that makes a lot of free c02 so I ran an air line from that bucket to top of tent. Now my room during day stays around 1200 ppm. I’m still looking for that awesome smell tho. Now that I think of it do I really want that strong smell? If I’m smelling it really strongly then I’m loosing terpenes right? That means they’re evaporating off the plant and that’s not good. So maybe I don’t want that really strong smell and maybe I just need something in the middle so that I know that it is making the right stuff but not loosing it. I know some one on here will have the an

Wow these girls stretched out. Everything is well. No deficiencies that I can see. Only problem is running out of room and I can’t raise lights anymore. I did some lollipoping to help lower humidity levels. It worked. Also don’t want wasted energy in lower leaves. I should have gotten bigger stronger light from mars hydro. Oh well I’ll work with what I got. The roots on these plants have filled up the entire 5 gallon bucket. I either need to do short veg. Or get bigger buckets. I discontinued the honey chome. It has nitrate in it and that’s not what I’m wanting during flower. So I switch to a sulfat instead. I know that nitrate is superior to sulfate but the build up of nitrates can cause all kinds of problems during flower. Anyway let’s grow !!

I’ve had some leaf burning from light being to close. I was able to raise few inches that seemed to do the trick. Now if I can keep water temp at 69 to 67 using frozen water bottles. It sucks I wish I had a chiller. I guess if I keep growing rdwc I’ll have to purchase one. Let’s gro

Boy did I underestimate this light. I have turned it down to 75%. It burned the shit out of this girl. I don’t think it can recover from this. Im thinking about chopping her down. Fml.

This week I decided to cut my loses and move on to the next. Now mars hydro says have light 12 inches away from canopy. Well that’s wrong you will definitely burn the shit out of plant even with co2 supplementation. I’m not sure we’re or how or why they recommend 12 inches. I found that 18 to 24 inches from canopy is optimal.
