Welcome to my new Grow of 2x GG4 and 1x Rainbow Sherbet by Zamnesia Seeds in my new "self build" DWC Bucket System
I use a 25L IKEA Dammäng Bucket filled to 20L with 50/50 mixed RO Water and Tap Water and some AquaForte Airstonedisk and a V-30 Air Pump for Oxygen in the Water
The feeding Schedule is calculated for my Water for optimal Cal. Mg. relation of 3:1
I started with ph 5,9 and ec 0.9 for the Rockwool Cube to soak in for 24H and washed the Clay Pebbles
I dropped the Seeds on 26.12.24 in a Cup of Tap Water for 24H to verify they open and germinate before i put them in the Rockwool Cube and into the System
All 3 Seedling germinated on 31.12.24
The first Week is over and everything looks fine so far
Light is at 250 ppfd
Just one minor Problem with the Rainbow Sherbet
She started to get brown spots but only on the germination Leafs
I wont do anything becauce the other 2 look good and she havent stopped growing
She is slower but no stopping so i see how far she get
The parameter are all dialed in so maybe i have bad luck with this specific seed this time
No.2 GG4 is better performing than No. 1
Week 2 is over and everything runs ok
Today I raised the water level back under the netpot
I just added a bit of nutrients to get to the veg plan
No 2 is the fastest growing but shows brown spots as No 3 now
No 3 has stopped getting brown spots but the new growing leaf is very crippled
No 1 shows no deficinty but grows the slowest
I lowered the lights down that it gives more heat because 21C is to weak I think
PPFD are about 350 now
Week 3 is over and things starting to get worse but this was expected
Normally you should change the reservoir every week but i wanted to know how long until deficinty start to show
So today after work i change the reservoir and start topping and training the two GG4
Update 22.01.25
Today i topped both GG4 and changed the reservoir for all
I changed the water ratio to 100% tap water and less calmag and added some king crab
Week 4 is over and everything is looking healthy
Even No. 3 made it now and is looking good. Small but no deficinty on the new grown leafs
Both GG4 got some light LST
1-2 Weeks veg left and i will flip to flower
Another Week is over
All 3 Look ok
The GG4’s have been trained and defoliated but one grew small and one grew big
One Week left before i switch to 12/12
Next Weekend It is Time for another reservoir change and more Nutrients for the stretch
Almost 6 Weeks Veg phase end Today
I changed the Reservoir, adjusted the nutrients and changed the light schedule to 12/12
I will defoliate here and there but nothing else for the next 3 Weeks maybe some water topup because no 2 is drinking heavy
The First Week of Flower is over and everything looks just amazing
No 3 is now healthy and thriving
The Tent is full
I hope the stretch is not to big
No 2 is drinking about 3-4 Liter a Day
Week 2 of Flower is over and the ladies are looking great
No 2 fills half the tent
I have to top up the water everyday about 3-5 Liter
PH of No 1 is starting to drift down
I defoliated and lollipopped the plants
One week stretch left
I will switch to canna aqua flores next Week with a reservoir change
Week 3 of Flower is over but the stretch havent stopped
The first flowers can be seen so maybe one week stretch longer
I havent changed the reservoir just a little top up of the nutrients and about 5 L of Water every day
Next week i have to change because 4 Weeks is max for a reservoir
I defoliate every day a little bit when some leafs are shading some flowers
Week 4 of Flower is over
A bad accident happened
Long Story short
The Lamp crashed down on the plants
One Netpot is damaged and the plant is a bit lower
A few branches less now
All 3 have survived with little damage but it looks different now in the tent
The Reservoir has been changed and i have switched from veg nutrients to flower
All ladies have been defoliated and lollipopped
Week 5 of Flower is over
Everything runs smooth
I have to top up the Water level everyday
No 1 - 1,5 Liter
No 2 - 5 Liter
No 3 - 2 Liter
When EC drops below 1,3 i give 10ml aqua flores a and b
Next weekend i will change the reservoir and give PK
No 3 the Rainbow Sherbet start to smell like multi vitamin juice really amazing
Flower Week 7 is over
No complication so far only No 3 have a problem with the broken NetPot and is tilting towards No 1
I have lowered the nutrition and only doing topups so the nutrition can slowly fade away to the point when only water is left
Flower Week 8 is over
No complication
PH is locked at 5.8 everyday
They only get Water everyday to lower the EC slightly from day to day
Only two Weeks left
No 3 the Rainbow Sherbet looks really ready but the foliage is to green for my taste
I have to wait until more leafs turn yellow or other colors
This should happen as soon the EC is low enough in a few Days
