ok ladies and gentlemen, this is now week 4 of veg ... and I'm sorry to say that I still havent figured out why the little WW are stressed ... 😟
... however, after reading tons of articles 😱, comments, critics, whining, coughing and stunning info and marketing bs about Advanced Nutrients, I have decided to reduce the dosage VERY significantly compared to the dosage mentioned on the bottle.
Thus, it makes sense to add one week of veg and see how/if they will recover and develop.
But if they thrive, that week could also be discarded.
Sooooo, to be followed.
Hi,
I'm seeing some burn/orange spot, but mainly on older leaves. It looks like an overfeeding ( potassium or so ).
Could you let me know your impressions ?
I am using already a lower AN dosage than recommended, I think I will reduce even more ( maybe use half their dose only)
X2 on what @Bulbi said just wanted to add that using hygrozyme which helps break down dead matter. every other res. change can really benifit the root zone. and definitly use something like hydroGaurd as Bulbi mentioned it works great I use both of those products myself with great results👍 another thing is make sure you are getting plenty of oxygen to the roots other than that follow what Bulbi has said about pH flux and triming gooey roots. Good luck Happy Growing
Hi Bulbi,
my EC is already at 1.7 so it is probably not a deficiency, but more an over feeding because the ph is under control for more than 2 weeks now ...
Cheers
Hi Hoffguy,
I have the O2 Grow ( 30 min every 12 hours ) AND a classical air pump ( 24/7) in the water to oxygenate and move the nutrients area.
So no, it cannot be due a lack of oxygen.
Our little babies White Widow are now entering their second week of growth and I am very surprised that they are still alive : the Ph was off the roof at 6.6 !!!!!!
But as it's the first growth on this Alien RWDC system and Advanced Nutrients line, I am still learning and, for ex, the water is too soft so I need to find the right dosage to get to the point where the ph is stable.
Fun to tune and once the system will be fully understood and in control ( air temp is still approx 0.5 degrees too low ), the next steps will be to focus on the growing technique to compensate the fact that there are only 2 plants on a small 1m2 .... if the breeder says the plant can reach 400 gr/m2, then that's my goal.
Impossible to reach ? well it's a goal so it's always better to reach for the best.
For this first grow, I will be happy to reach 0.4 gr/watts.
To be continued ....
@Mrs_Larimar,
PH is more in control for the time being, and it oscillates between 5.6 and 6.0.
My main concern now are the stains appearing all the time, and only an overfeeding would explain ... but I need confirmation before removing 30 % of my feeding schedule .
Cheers
@JVGrowers,Hi i would talk to an experienced DWc grower on GD, You find them easily, iam not so good in Dwc, but i can see that you struggle with PH and feedings. The gd " Family" most time likes to help and support
So we have just reached half of the flowering period, but technically we will not base the harvest on the week number, but rather on a microscope check of the trichome head for evaluating the ripeness, no matter which week we will be into.
Hello,
A new growing session has just been started for White Widow from Dutch Passion.
As this is the first session with this hardware, the goal will be mainly to have a hands on session and learn how to use it properly.
I will also compare the nutrients performances between pricey Canna and rip off priced Advanced Nutrients.
Objectives :
1. stabilise ph/ec for all weeks
2. LST/HST/Scrog
3. 1 gr/watt ( if the 2 seeds are females )
To be continued ....
