Day 43-49
Entire reservoir was cleaned and switched to flowering nutrients on day 43. Her health issues didn't go away yet, but I also wasn't able to notice any worsening, except for maybe some yellowing of the highest leaf tips (increased nutrients slightly after I noticed).
She didn't stretch as much as I hoped and combined with her insane density below the canopy I decided to do a big defoliation and lower the lights again for better light penetration (Day 48).
I'm hoping the lower branches can catch up a tiny bit more before she stops growing and save me from having to Lollipop too much.
PH is kept at 5,9-6,1 and her ppm are around 850.
Big thanks again to @SwissKush for always being ready to help.
nice grow! she will be a face melter! I grew this exact Blue Dream strain 2 years ago in DWC, follow my diary, and you will get impressive results. The Blue Dream is in the top 3 best auto's ive had.
@GnomesAndStones, the mix you are running, Blue Dream really likes. I purposely ran the Blue Dream with a more basic line of nutrients as advised by a grower on here and it turned out well
@SwissKush, Thanks! I already bought the same nutrients line you used, just left out the fulvic acid and root booster. I hope I can get close to your Blue Dream, quite an Inspiration :)
Hey the problem is two fold at the moment, Problem 1, is there is a nitrogen overdose happening, Problem 2 is a Phosphorus deficiency. Empty and clean the DWC and put in these immediately:
TriPart Micro - 1.6 mll
TriPart Grow - 0.8 mll
TriPart Bloom - 2.4 mll
CalMag - 1.0 mll
Silicate - enough to get the solution up to 800ppm, 0.2-0.4mll.
PPM 800
PH 6.0
She typically should be drinking 4L a day at week 6.
Also, you may want to pull those lights up to 60 or 75cm to encourage upward stretch.
@SwissKush, thank you so much!!! I did everything as you said, hopefully she recovers quickly :)
The only deviation is that I have no way of measuring ppm, so I just went with 0,3 ml/L of Silicate
WOW! Looks incredible! The canopy you have created will be really nice! ππππ
Im sure that root mass is huge, you can see how thick the trunk already is.
Hey! You will want to place your air pumps higher than the DWC water level. I learned this the hard way having to buy a pump every 3 grows. Good Luck, will keep tracking!
@SwissKush, thanks for looking so closely at my setup, but I actually have check valves installed right behind the air stones, so water shouldn't be able to run through to the pump.
Please keep giving advice through, you already helped me a ton!
Wow!! Look at her grow!! She looks great! Glad I can help!! ππ
My DWC temp hangs around 23, and the h202 3% will neutralize any start of bacteria, while allowing the organics to remain alive in the DWC pool.
Im very excited for your progress here!
@SwissKush, Yess! She is developing nicely with the higher temperatures. But (little spoiler) unfortunately she started flowering on day 2 of week 4 :( So won't turn out as big I guess... Still giving my best though :)
looking very good over here! this will be a very strong plant especially if you have more than a few roots already in your pool. in this stage I like my tent temps for DWC to be closer to 30 degrees. You will notice in my DWC diary for the blue dream the temps were 30. Raise the temps in there up to closer 28-30 and you will see her explode in growth. If you are worried about your DWC res temps, then you should be running 1-2ml/L 3% hydrogen peroxide in your res like I do. My res gets to about 22-24 when its 30 in the tent because I use thick sidewall buckets made for growing cannabis. πͺπ
@SwissKush, thank you very much for the good advice!! I am away for this weekend but when I am back, I will immediately raise the temperature. Hydrogen Peroxide is now ordered :) I really appreciate your help!
