Continuing the gradual flush - EC at beginning of week is 0.8. This will be changing every day - see below for updates. The colas are not perceptibly fattening by now and I am just waiting for more amber trichomes - a sign of optimum harvest conditions. Here the trichomes are a blend of clear and cloudy, so not ready to harvest yet. Really strong smell in the tent - kind of like coffee mixed with petrol and a bit of pine! I've had really healthy roots from day one without using any additives/peroxide etc. Surely down to the chiller which has kept nutrient temperatures within an 18C to 21C range, even when lights-on air temperatures were pushing 30C earlier in the grow. Definitely a good investment. **** EC & pH daily updates **** Day 70 50 Flower EC 0.8 pH 6.2 Day 71 51 Flower EC 0.6 pH 6.3 Day 72 52 Flower EC 0.5 pH 6.3 Day 73 53 Flower EC 0.3 pH 6.0 - Some amber trichomes. Probably start harvesting very soon (days) Day 74 54 Flower EC 0.2 pH 6.1 Day 75 55 Flower EC 0.0 pH 6.3 Reached EC 0.0 and will be harvesting in 2 days time. Plants looking perfectly ripe and heavy with promise!

Hybridstarted grow question 6 years ago
I have nine plants grown from seed and one is behind in flowering. They are all in the same tent with the same nutrient. For a couple of weeks into 12/12 she showed no signs. Now she is flowering normally, just way behind the others in development. What gives?

could've probably gone a bit longer but i'm digging those pictures, great first DWC ๐Ÿ™Œ

@CRiSPrGrow, Hi man, this nine pot system only just fits in a 1.5m x 1.5m tent. The header pot and reservoir are outside of the tent and I don't think the nine pots would be a good idea in a 1.2m x 1.2m tent, even if if you could hack up the piping to make them fit. It's a great system though. Maybe look at four pots?

@Hybrid, i like that r-DWC system, looks like great value really ! wondering if I can fit one in a 1.2 x1.2 m tent, what do you think?

@CrawlSpaceGrower, thanks for the kind words. They are doing amazingly well considering how overcrowded things are in there. Kudos to Dinafem! This is only my second grow in the tent and my first with the DWC system, so still learning.

Quick question mate, when you flip to flower do you change to flower nutes straight away or do you keep feeding some veg nutes to?
DinafemSeeds
DinafemSeeds
@Hybrid, Totally agree my friend ๐Ÿ‘ I find it best to continue to feed vegative feed until day 14 of bloom then make the transition into bloom feed ๐Ÿ‘Œ Nice advice mate ๐Ÿ‘Š All the best โœŒ๏ธ Mark..

@Hybrid, thanks mate, I need to change the res though as only changed once in 7 weeks, think I will go 70/30 veg/bloom and then top up with bloom nutes, how does that sound? wish I had a top off tank lol
Hybrid
Hybrid
@MrGreenFingers, Hi man, I make the change to bloom nutrient gradually. I have a big (200l) reservoir feeding my dwc pots and just gradually shift it over to 100% bloom nutrient, adding a bit more bloom each time I fill the reservoir. Makes sense to do it like this because the plant is itself gradually shifting into flower mode, it doesn't happen overnight.

Buds are starting to fatten up lovely! What light you running?

@MrGreenFingers, Hi mate, thanks - they're looking really promising. Almost every grow I have a bit of a panic halfway through flowering thinking things are looking sparse, but the girls always come through for me! I have four lights in my 1.5m x 1.5m tent: One HPS set on 250W One CDM set on 250W Two Telos 008 LEDs which draw 240W each

MrGreenFingersweek 9
I hear you mate, I get the same thinking nothing's happening but I think that's because you see them everyday, then u go back 1 or 2 weeks in the diary and always notice the big difference in growth! You must have a nice spectrum in there, I was looking into the telos before I bought my light
Hybrid

@MrGreenFingers, Very happy with the Telos - build quality is outstanding and they seem to be doing the business. This is my first grow with them. What is your lighting set-up?

Now that's a beautiful sight to see. A room filled with our Critical+. Getting ready to put on a flower show for all to see ๐Ÿ‘ Those buds are going to get big and fast now mate. Things look great from this end and we will follow this grow as you update ๐Ÿ‘Š Well into bloom and looking lush ๐Ÿ‘Œ All the best โœŒ๏ธ Mark..

@DinafemSeeds, thanks! Really happy with the genetics - just wish I had trimmed off some of the lower side branches, Really happy with the Critical +. I can't wait to get home from work every day to check them out!!

Are your feeds accurate in this journal, if so you have done amazing using such few nutrients and no calmag?
Hybrid
Hybrid
@MrGreenFingers, I'm measuring my nutrients with EC readings - I keep adjusting the reservoir. The ml/L bit of the diary is not really relevant - it just shows the different feeds I'm using.

@RusSwedeWeed, Thanks very much. It's going well for my first DWC grow - just wish I had taken off the lower side branches. Really happy though, generally.

I'm only in a 4x2x8ft tent mate, I had a 900w Viparspectra pulling about 420 from the wall but I bought a 265w invisible sun board using the Samsung Lm301b diodes, a quantum board basically lol, should pay for itself in saved electricity after a couple grows but more importantly it has alot more red so hopefully flowers are better also, even though I was happy with first couple grows I just want to grow the best quality weed I can lol

I am glad your liking it, for me it's an easy method of growing as long as you can keep your res temps down and avoid root rot!
