Commencing Day 36/Week 6 on November 28th D36 Still slow and steady growing. Some much more slow and steady than others. I am hoping by the end of this week or by sometime next week I can flip to 12/12 and get cuttings. My goal is medium/small size plants with medium sized yields and to hopefully 🀞 find at least one keeper of the bunch. Reason being I have a lot going on and want to see whats the best I can get with light work load. Bigger plants=bigger work loads. I also noticed the Boss Hogg1 must be Canadian πŸ˜„ one of the leafs is a maple leaf shape with no finger separation (aka duck foot mutation πŸ¦†; see photo). This is the same plant I called a Purple Tarantula in one of the earlier weeks. Definitely a freak. Day37 Filled all buckets till water line was bubbling into net pot. Filled with oxygenated &(dechlorinated) house water. Added 10ml Clonex per bucket. Some needed pH but not much on .2 off from 5.8. ppm is around 800-900. Leaving lights on again overnight. (Cold front coming). Day 38 Added 5ml Cal Mag to each bucket. Added more fresh water to bring PPM back down to 800. pH sitting around 5.9 Noticed 818 Headband was hiding a tiny clover friend. I'll keep it there for now. Maybe find a four leafed clover for good luck 🀞 Also noticed that the sativas phenos are being picky eaters compared to the rest. Also noticed the 818 is catching up a little more. Definitely a nice healthy steady growth. Just quite a bit slower then the Gorilla Zkittles. Lastly tonight the plants will go into 14 on 10 off. This is to induce stretching (they are sooooooooo short; due to 8 on 4 off light schedule) and maybe preflowering also. Won't be long!πŸ˜„πŸ‘ Day 42 Few days in the new light shedule is working great. Plants seem to be getting ready for me πŸ‘ I've also switched the plants around to accommodate the grow a little better (ie in order of size) The 818's and Raspberry is catching up slowly to the GZ giants. (& looking great πŸ˜„) but man these GZs are thirsty girls, they drink the ppm and water levels in one day what the others take in 3 or 4. Needless to say I've been pHing everyday basically and adding water and light nutes to keep around 800ppm and 5.8pH. maybe only mentionable is that the GZs needed more nutes (ppms dropped about 200ppm to 600 in two days) and pH balancing (pH shot up to 6.2 in two days) than the others. I'm getting anxious to flip and cut. The GZs are right where I want them. The others, not yet. I'll have to find a happy medium where the runts are at least so big with out letting the GZs get too big. Thank you for reading and watching

Has anyone any relevant and useful knowledge in light schedule (ie. 12/12 or 6 on 6 off) manipulation, even if experimental data or personal experience?

The plants need 12 hours of UNINTERRUPTED darkness to flower, which means that something like 6/6 will not trigger flowering. What I've read about is something called extended light schedule: With a digital timer, you set lights for periods of 21:36 hours (21 hrs 36 mins) and lights off periods of 12 hours), this will give you an exact week that has 5 extended days (for a total of 33 hours 36 mins per "day"). The data I read states that the aditional light hours increases yield. Also important, going over 21 or 22 hours of light does nothing since there's a point where the added light reaches a saturation point and the plant can't use it. I havent tested it though

Don't plan on topping. Someone want to talk me into it? Just weigh out some pros and cons; and I'll pick the most informative and relevant answer, and maybe even change my mind. πŸ˜„πŸ‘

Hi there @Green_Friends_Inc! The apical meristem (top bud site) uses Auxin to restrict secondary buds sites from developing in a process called Apical dominance. This allows for higher amounts of hormones to be delivered to the leading bud sites compared to the side-shoots. This is why we Top our plants!! By removing/topping the apical budsite you are turning the the next two stems into apically dominant sites leading to a more even distribution in Bud growth a wider plants. Topping is all about distributing the hormones equally to more branches as apposed to the single Apical bud site! Its a very good technique to use when trying to maintain a shorter bulkier plant. I know you aren't topping this cycle, but perhaps I convinced you for the next one haha best of luck friend! 😎

Thanks bud 😁 I am excited to see what it will do in flower πŸ‘

Green_Friends_Inccommentedweek 136 years ago
To everyone that answered my question in regards to topping all were on point answers with great rational and perspective. I appreciate the time and effort to help so much ! In the end I chose to leave the plants in as much as their natural shape/structure that my grow allowed. This was done in order to: not slow down the plant whatsoever, and to learn what natural shape each plant would ultimately show. This is done because I often use this information for my personal breeding purposes. However, this does not mean I did nothing. All plants had roughly 25% of fan leaves removed. The main grow area plants (GZ1,2,3+818#1+RD) all were "Bent-Topped"* right before starting 12/12. And once every two weeks since I have done some VERY LST to spread of the budsites towards the lighting to allow for better penetration. "Bent-Topped"* = By this I mean I bent (without snapping*) the main apex stem 2 nodes down and held in place usuing bonsai wire. This, as @hightv stated, distributed plant horomones more evenly throughout the entire plant; and in doing so also helped level out my canopy; lastly but most importantly I was able to better manage and control the stretch that was about to take place! All with out the stunting effect that completely topping a plant can sometimes have πŸ‘πŸ˜πŸ‘

@Green_Friends_Inc, I agree wholeheartedly with the approach. HST probably best way to go late veg. If ur avoiding recovery time. I woulda considered topping much earlier in the grow anyway (but I don’t have the kinda space you do so it’s all relativeπŸ˜‰).

Buds are looking great this week. Seem pretty big for only the 4th week of flower. Bummer with the ph/ppm meter, sometimes i think they just build those things to break. I hope the mega crop turns out good. ✌️

@Green_Friends_Inc, lol thats hilarious! I had some microbes this summer that smelled like some animals fecal matter too...what animal...god only knows.
Green_Friends_Inc
Green_Friends_Inccommented6 years ago
@Experimentgreen, Tyvm! Hopefully they keep this growth rate up, DWC has shown me quicker harvests. And the mega crop was recommended by another user on growdiaries. Stuff looks like a protein shake and smells like 🐦 poop lol. Only time will tell now so we'll just have to wait and see either way πŸ˜„ Funny story about the pH meter. When the new one didn't arrive this morning I decided to try and fix the old one. All I did was take aluminum foil and wrap it around the metal connectors for the pH socket and then wrapped each the pH, PPM, and temperature wires in alot of black electric tape and Bam!! Working. Even better than before I think.... Which leads me to believe that all along for the past few weeks I have been pHing my plants slightly off of what I thought I was... Then this afternoon my new meter arrives and.... not only does it not come calibrated, but it came with a socket that looks like it plugs into a wall in China or Europe somewhere definitely not American plug... πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ At least I have one working (correctly I hope) for now and it seems to be working enough because when I used it today the plants looked a little bit greener afterwards. in the next few days I'm going to have to check and compare against a friends meter or something to see if mine still calibrated correctly. πŸ‘

Bro, how do you use the clonex? She look very nice. Congra
Green_Friends_Inc
Green_Friends_Inccommented6 years ago
@Deepgrow, Tyvm! I actually use Clonex throughout the entire grow - from seedling up to last few weeks of bloom - very sparingly, like 1/4 recommended dose if that. Reason being a long while back when I first was learning DWC I was cash strapped and had nothing else to use... so I used all I had at the time which was only some Clonex (liquid not gel). I was incredibly surprised when the plants grew so quickly and healthy. Since then it's been part of my regiment πŸ˜πŸ‘ Ps I also use (in like 1/10 recommended dose) Clonex in Veg phase as foliar feed.

@Mrs_Larimar, thank you I put hours in yesterday installing and dialing everything in preparation for flowering!πŸ‘πŸ˜πŸ‘ Borrowed some lighting from a friend. Found the three COBs in black panel on Amazon for 17 usd a piece. They pull 50 watts I measured but we're advertised to pull a lot more. I'm happy with them though and look forward to seeing what they can do. Either way I like the way CFL/FL & LED grows taste idk if it's weird or just me or what lol

Isn't what you have called hash tips actually bleaching from the lights ? I have read that when the tips are bleached like that it's not a good thing and can cause rot in the cure jars too , I would say it my be a safer bet too cure the bleached tips in jars on there own

Hi there, 3.2e.c? Are we sure about this? In Deep Water Culture....? I'm also in DWC Barney gorilla zkittlez, week 2 flower and I'm currently on 1.1 e.c, the leaves are a deep green any more and I'd risk the tips burning... Never in 8 years have I ever used higher than 1.8 e.c for any strain in DWC,coco or soil. I am truly baffled πŸ€” Kind regards Bigface

@Green_Friends_Inc, it's not so much I need feedback on my personal e.c levels as I'm sure I'm on the mark, they are rather large, considering only 6week from seed vegetative stage.... more for your keen eye and experience in spotting that keeper fire πŸ”₯ phenotype... p.s Im using advanced nutrients ph perfect for this run

@Green_Friends_Inc, Hey mate, thankyou for the reply....I shall post you some pics of my girls tomorrow. 4x gorilla zkittlez, they are week 2 flower so maybe you could spot the πŸ”₯ phenotype from my pics and il do some late cloning as I've been lazy and yet to 🍭 them! Failing that il make sure to monster crop the fire pheno either way πŸ˜πŸ‘ŠπŸΌ
