Seeds were germinated in paper towel march 11 then moved to rock wool cubes march 15, all seeds that made it were up by march 17 , one with cotyledons that has been moved to a different location and grown in rockwool.
On day 9 I move the plants to the grow room . 5 x 9 with 2 x 630w led . I am using a water cooler holding water temp from 20c-21c I decide to add a trellis net early I'm feeling confident !
By week 3 the plants are starting to thrive in the RDWC I have added some nutrients 1/2 of the recommendations from canna . By the end of the week the plants had already recovered from the topping and doubled up in size. so i up the nutrients to 1.4 ec
The plants are pumping. Definitely have some pH issue but i think it's just the plants eating lots of something up.. They have grown thru the 1st trellis net so i will add another one. I noticed what looked like nute burn so i dilute the nutes back to 1.0ec At the end of week 4 I decide to lollie pop the plants even tho I have the pH issue the plants are pumping the best i've seen yet.
On April 16 I flip to 12/12 light schedule and within a few days the plants have gone crazy and i sneak off a few lower branches hoping it's not to late ! 2 days later and i think im fine the plants are eating nutrients and sucking lots of water.. April 21 the plants are thriving pretty good and I find one of the plants are mutating. A single leaves are coming thru the top of a full mature leaf.. on some 2 single leaves. I wonder if chopping some branches just 2 days after flipping the light schedule has caused this ?

Another plant the only plant that seems to be behind i tried different trimming technique.. topped it later and lst early. After adding the Canna Boost the pH drop stopped !
The stretch is on.. chopping a few branches a day . Decided on day 40 to lollie pop pretty heavily as the plants get so bushy.. I feel like I took to much to soon into stretch but I am only learning in RDWC . I notice 3 plants have the weird leaves
streetchinnnnnnnnng had to turn light back to 80% for now May 7 the stretch has stopped I'm just inches inside the lights and the lights hare strapped the the room ceiling . Yesterday I pulled over 2 meters of roots out of the pipes after noticing the ph dowen was taking to long and the pump looked like it was struggling.
The plants are going Ok . Being my 1st photo period grow in RDWC I think everything is going ok except i should have turned after 25 days or so instead of 31 . huge stretch from the bruce banner #. at least 3 x taller with some colas maybe to tall. I see my leaves are praying.. green .. good RH .. they are at 80%. I think that's a good thing. It's now May 16.. I have asked for second thoughts about what to do with colas reaching light and I have super cropped as suggested.
