The tca seed germinated in 24 hours then put it into Rockwool , her new home . First time growing solo. My first attempt at rdwc I am so joyed with this grounding experience . There is much knowledge so much information and I have little understanding this far but I love to read and I love caring for plants and always hope to help them be in their best environment however this is proving tricky .what a fantastic adventure this will is I look forward to see what “ Dialed in” looks ! I’ll be making mistakes and doing “the wrong things “ This is how I learn ,just stay with me ! I will be successful Also I’m no writer soooo..

She grows sooo fast … sooo fast . I can only imagine what her best self will look like if she’s looking this good at the will of my early hand . What a beautiful experience this is probably because this is my first Green guardianship but I almost feel Obsessive with her wellbeing There’s no end to knowledge And I have planned on swimming this river So let’s continue these new Neural pathways of our magnificent minds . Find some ground and recenter . Also I seen some white pistols got jacked up annnd switched to Cronk Clyde nutrients(the flower part) reading up I could have waited another week maybe. Such a blissful adventure this is --

Welcome to week 7 with some * beautiful FastBuds Tropicana Cookies Auto* We got a bit to go and I’m excited to see how she finishes out Anyone have some drying and curing techniques and ideas I am open to hearing you and learning ! Up down all around ! Let’s go! December 8th She’s drinking about a gallon a day currently slight swing with ph but she’s keeping it in some good spots December 9th vertical growth slowed and she’s getting frosty with a fantastic early citrus and green aroma mmmmmmmm! December 10th Thirsty girl ! Hope you all enjoy the day ! December 11th Checked some lst spots and did some tucking . I’m leaning the importance of early trimming and defoliating. Could have saved me a lot of time spacing and tuckings although I really enjoy the amount of peace and grounding that gardening brings .its such a blessing To be able to feel this experience . Well until tomorrow …. December 12th Smooth wonderful day she is busy beautiful vigor is a plus very lush December 13th Closing out this week with a healthy res. Change canopy is pretty full I’m going to need to do some organizing with these tops 😂 well you live and you learn It’s been such a fascinating experience so beautiful. Happy Friday and enjoy the day Happy growing Everyone! Thank you for your visit to this diary!🙏

Week 9 December 23rd Hooked up the microscope took some shots. Getting the dry room engineered and just trying to stay at least a step ahead . This rDWC adventure has been tricky indeed. I’m losing balance somewhere if you read the leaves up close you can see some “signs” and she has about a week left ish before we start the finish up process for harvest December 24th She has slowed down on nutrient consumption and water uptake December 25th I’m at the res change time .sitting at an EC of 1.0 . I have been adding ph distilled water for keeping water levels up and diluting while the vpd went up idk I’ll see what happens next and eventually be able to spot issues early on with better consistency. Just self notes I guess. December 26th another fantastic day in the garden ! December 27th Video update Something different Happy Friday fellow gardeners! December 29th Just pictures this morning December 31st Tomorrow might be the day I’m going to check the trichs one more time after work , she’s looking coose I am grateful for your focus and energy May your day be blessed with ease in all things and love everywhere you travel Happy gardening ! It’s going to be a wonderful week and beautiful day happy growing You are amazing!
