Ragnar_420 Experimental grow in double medium, tried before but couldn't finish then. Fingers crossed🤞
Perlite will only be watered, not fed, pH +/- 6, intention is to feed the batmix with Alga later on.
According to the article this experiment is based on, the nutrition could go up to ec 4..........

Ragnar_420 What a troubled start🙈 Not used to the cubes, but seemed to be the best option, considering we're growing double medium.
Grows very slowly, not looking very happy. Had a lack of time the first week....and it shows.
Luckily they have regained themselves...hopefully they'll get where I want them 😉
Ragnar_420 Slowly getting treated their "troubled childhood ". Seems to me they are getting more happy everyday 😋
Keeping the perlite pretty wet, pH 6 water only. Overdid the watering on the batmix a bit.....no need to add more🙈

Ragnar_420 Going steady. Not spectacularly fast....as aspacted....but steady😁
Slowly increasing ec ; according to the item I read about this method, they can eventually handle up to ec 4

Ragnar_420 Even though they're doing fine, I'm not impressed. Don't get me wrong, they're healthy, but expected some more vigorous growth.
Not disappointed either 😁 we'll see what happens later on....
Ragnar_420 Seems like they starting to speed up. Could also be the wish, beeing the mother of thoughts.
Rebuilding their "deck" after some defoliation goes pretty fast....seems healthy to me😁
Ragnar_420 Light distance to 40cm, power 75%
Hoping to get some stretching. Pretty short internodes; would like some more space in between to be able to spread the light a bit better between branches. So far still very pleased with their healty looks though
Ragnar_420 No complaints so far 😁 going steady and flawless in my opinion.
Healty colour, steady grow. Can't say I detect any benefit from the separated mediums though.
Best news.....they started flowering
Ragnar_420 Whow love this stage....changes are to be seen every day. Still no troubles whatsoever....all going well!
Adding some generator now to give them a healt-boost: warm weather coming up, experience thought me they handle higher temperatures better with this add.
Ragnar_420 Still steady 💪 as predicted, the temperatures got a bit high, gotta check for an other exhaust I guess.
But.....thanks to adding some generator (I'd like to think😉) they had no problem with that at all
Ragnar_420 Adding Grow didn't work out much, sadly.
Discoloration is picking up speed, suspecting something to be wrong with pH levels; getting into that now.
Fingers crossed
Ragnar_420 Problems not solved😔...yet....
Seems like my pH meter has stopped working correctly, new one is on it's way.
Nr 2 shows a lot of problems, mostly on one side, as you can see in the last picture. Obviously the problem is to be searched in the soil-side. Nr 1 starting to look seriously infected to now.
Positive side; many buds are stil looking very good so far, it's mainly the leafs that worry
Ragnar_420 Despite some troubleshooting things are going downhill I'm afraid 😔 Not as flawless as I bargained for.....
Guess thing started going bad deu to a malfunctioning pH-meter.
Fingers
Ragnar_420 Started out pretty pretentious on this double-medium thing. Unfortunately it started to "break down " a couple of weeks ago, couldn't get it straight. Thougt of transplanting them to normal soil, but deu to the age and estimated time to recover decided not to and just let them go.....
Not a grow "as planned".
The whole idea of this double medium looked pretty plausible to me, but troubleshooting with this stuff is an other level as said....couldn't get them straight.
Despite the troubles, Orange Cookies itself sorted out to be pretty easy to grow. Smells delicious and gives a smooth sweet smoke. With the early harvest in mind, this one's coming up again in a future

Ragnar_420 Tried a small bud last week, since I had no idea how things would be going ....up or down...
Effect was pretty amazing and satisfying, so decided to take them down and prepare for a new Dutchfem grow.
No more double medium shizzle for this guy.
Despite the disappointing results and early harvest this strain really gives a good smoke and
@popcornsutton,
Kind of experimenting after reading an article about it. The perlite gets lots of "clean" water pH5.5 the soil gets the nutrients and should be able to go up to about ec 4(?!). They should be able to handle it deu to fresh water being available all the time. It's said to be growing faster and vigorous this way. So far I see little difference with 100% soilgrow though 🙈 just a lot more measuring
