Hydro grow Fall 2024

Received clones. Look healthy. Planted in coco coir fiber. Pump schedule 4 cycles @ 6 min

I potted my clones last week. All seemed to be fine the first few days. I then noticed leaves wilting. I changed out my water and nutrients. A couple days go by, not better, leaves fading. Start questioning my watering cycle. Spent 3 or 4 days messing with that with no positive results before I finally realized the problem. The new coco fiber medium isn’t draining as it should, so I repot with additional perlite. Still not draining…. Finally changed out to different bags and whole new brand of coco perlite mix. The plants finally seem to be responding. Fingers crossed!

The new coco coir mix was the answer. Plants responded over night with new growth following soon after. Changed out hydro tank water and upped nutrients to medium feed week three schedule. Also added additionaphosphates/pot ash to try and help green up the stems. Light still at 50%. Probably veg a little longer to ensure the plants are good and healthy.

Plants have fully recovered and thriving. Back on nutrient level schedule, medium feed late growth. Started light trimming for interior exposure.

Flipped to 12/12 light cycle on day 29. Started LST on Studio 54 strain plants. Others are short and compact. Nutrients @ medium feed, early bloom, week one.

Put up the net last week. Still trimming fan leaves a little daily. General Hydroponics Nutrient Schedule; Medium feed Early Bloom week 2

Plants are healthy. Still snipping a fan leaf here and there but about done defoliating. General Hydroponics Flora Series Nutrients: Medium feed. Mid Bloom week 3.

The plants stopped adding height and are maturing nicely. Saw a little mildew on a few leaves after a week long absence. Humidity was at 60% when we arrived home. I need to deal with that before another extended absence. Sprayed with neem oil. All looks good. General Hydroponics Flora series med feed bloom wk 4

Still spraying with neem oil. Most mildew seems el. Nothing to add really. Plants are doing great. General Hydroponics Flora collection Medium feed bloom week 5

Harvested and wet trimmed. Dried in mesh drier racks. Stored in mason jars. Wet weight = 2 oz.

Wet trimmed. Air dried. Wet weight = 3 oz

A nice easy grow. No pests or disease to worry about. I did expect a little more weight just from my past grows, but I am very happy with the results.
