It is growing really fast in the DWC system. I am very happy!! The color is a little light green. After the weekend I will add a stronger nutrient solution to the DWC system

I am more than happy with the Strawberry Gorilla from 420Fastbuds This is my first attempt at hydroponics, but it's going well. The plant grows incredibly quickly. I made her a new and stronger nutrient solution. The PH rose to 6.5 over the last night. I check once a day. Now the PH value is back to 5.7. If you have any tips, criticism or anything, please write to me!! On the 20th day I started with LST and used Plant Trainer. I'm still thinking about topping her.

I'm so excited!! for the first attempt in the DWC system, everything is very easy. The growth is impressively fast. The roots look healthy and the PH is constant at 5.7. I only added 3 ml of cal mag

I think the plant has started to stretch. Or it's because of the new NL that I have set. I made this quite strong, the EC is 1.7 The first Pistols can be seen. I shouldn't have topped her. The two main shoots grow significantly slower than the rest and will end up in the shade. The roots have turned a little brown, I hope that's due to age and the fertilizer. In the worst case, it is root rot. The plant drinks a lot

The plant has become a real monster. I expected it to be stretched for another 4 to 5 days. But it has stopped growing and is now producing flowers. I used the vegitative fertilizer again for the nutrient solution. In a few days she will receive a nutrient solution for the flowers and then I'm very excited. The treatment with BAC was very successful

This is my biggest and healthiest plant I've ever had! I'm so incredibly amazed by Deepwater Culture that I'm thinking about not growing in the ground anymore and instead setting up 6 DWC systems in the tent. Tody i defoliate the plant :)

Hello guys, it's me again :) The plant is growing splendidly. In the last nutrient solution (4 days ago) I added PK13/14 for the first time, I assume it was a little too early. The next nutrient solution will be half as weak. The plant simply drinks 12 liters of water in 4 days, which corresponds to 3 liters per day. The smell reminds me a lot of the first Critical plant I had. I am very excited when it will be finished and what the end result will look like. Hydroponics rocks :P I'm currently trying out hydroponics with H2o2. I have learned that enzymes and H2o2 do not work together, so I will probably no longer work with enzymes in the future but only with nutrients and hydrogen peroxide What do you think about that?

Just like with Candy Bubatz, I avoid all CANna supliment products and instead add hydrogen peroxide. The roots are slightly brown... The ones from the other plant are all white (I've been working with H2o2 for a long time). I accidentally forgot the Calmg with the last nutrient solution :P The leaves have a slight nutrient burn. I've already gone down with the fertilizer. The plant is so incredibly frosty and smells like fuel and strawberries. INSANE!! HYDROPINC ROCKS

It's such a frosty plant!! I will be harvesting them in the next few weeks. I give it more time because it grows under 12 hours of light and not 20 hours like the breeder recommended

I am amazed at what is possible with autoflowers these days. Wow thanks 420fastbuds! This was my first Hydro Strain and it was a good Choice! I'll plant them again under 20H light at some point :) I still have one seedI made some mistakes but I think that's part of it^^ I'm very excited about the first smoke test after 4 weeks^^ The phenotype is very similar to the spectrum of the Sativa plant. The buds smell absolutely gasy and are very shiny. I think this is the frostiest strain I've ever had. I'll upload more photos when the stuff is dry. I have two cans full of trimm that is completely frosty in the freezer and I'm really looking forward to the bubble hash! :) Update: I put it in the jar and the total dry weight ist: 97 gramms + 5 grams of quallity Bubble hash I am very happy

So now I have finally harvested my first hydro plant!! It was a pleasure. My partner and I were busy cutting the plant all Sunday. Everything is ready and it is now hanging! To grow: I'll keep it short. At the beginning I worked according to the individual cann thinning scheme. Halfway through the grow I started working with H2o2 because I couldn't maintain the temperatures in the water to avoid illness. The plant was grown like a photoperiod plant because I also had photos in the tent. The plant also suffered a nutrient burn during the flowering phase. I think I worked with the PK 13/14 too early. I'm happy that I was able to learn so much from the grow.

Root rot is a concern growing in water, I always use Botanicare Hydroguard to avoid it all together. The stuff works like it’s supposed to. I highly recommend it.

Still_Smoqcommented7mo
@BoboLacetti, Hydroguard is an inoculant. Cannazym is not classified as this, it doesn’t work the same way.

BoboLacetticommented7mo
@Still_Smoq, I use the cannazym i think it works on the same way?

You’re doing great. It is easy, don’t make it complicated. Observation of your plant is most critical. Be real careful with nutrients in DWC, whatever you add is instantly available until depleted. I do a complete change once a week to avoid any deficiencies, and never add anything but RO water between changes. I check the PH at least 2 times a day. Hope this helps.

Looking very good, only maybe if they would be my plants little bit more defoliation. You can do lot more that with hydro or its leaf jungle always😆

Gran bel risultato! Ho visto che belle utkime coltivazioni sei passato a vevor, rende di più il RDWC che quello di Mars hydro? A tuo parere.. 🙏😸🔥🔥🔥
