DAY 43
This plant is suffering from some kind of nutrient problem (see pic). I suspect it is being overloaded but unfortunately I have to keep EC levels focused on the other 8 plants in this RDWC system. With RDWC it's a case of one nutrient to rule them all, or not.
DAY 45
Even though I have increased nutrient strength from EC 0.5 to 0.8 - this plant is suddenly starting to fill out and is developing some nice colas.
DAY 48
Impressed with how the colas have filled out - according to the breeder she should have around 7 days to run. Next week I will start paying close attention to the trichomes, which are currently mostly transparent.
Pretty amazing how it has gone from germination to this in 7 weeks - if she produces a decent amount of bud, this could be a very commercial strain. I quick dried and smoked a few stray buds tonight and it's a lovely high. Another week flowering and a good cure and I am really excited to see what happens.
@BigDaddyK, I just calibrated my pH pen and it was out of whack (giving higher readings) so a good lesson learned there - you were spot on with the diagnosis. Nice one.
@BigDaddyK, Thanks for taking as look - really appreciate it. pH is 6.2 and I was thinking cal/mag issue myself. I've added a cal/mag supplement so will see if it helps. Cheers. The plants were doing well so I don't want to fuck it up at this stage!
Looking 👀 good thus far my friend. I am a RDWC Hydroponic grower myself, so I love seeing others utilizing, in my opinion, the greatest cultivation technique for cannabis. Have you grown RDWC before? Best of luck with this grow!!!
“Keep It Safe, Keep It Green, & Smoke 💨 It Up!!!”
@MagicMikesMeds, hi man, this is my second RDWC grow and I am totally converted. What a technique! My theory is it appeals to those of us who like to be in control of as many variables as possible in the grow. Any way the results speak for themselves!
Thanks for the kind words.
