First DWC

She got a really good start. On day 5 I planted her into the Leca so the roots could start developing towards the water. At this point I also turned on the air stone. Hand watered 2 times a day 30 ml.

She’s growing very well this week and going into the vegetative phase. I can tell from the rapid rooter plug that the roots were growing well and they reached the reservoir on day 12.

She’s growing really strong now. Roots are developing well in the reservoir. 15/03 FIMed her. This is not only my first hydroponic but also my first photoperiodic plant, so first time trying HST. Looking forward to see how the FIMed top will develop. 16/03 Already today you cannot tell that she got FIMed yesterday. Curious to see if it was a succes. 17/03 She really looks like she is feeling great despite the recent HST. Her leaves looks healthy and new branches are forming below them. Lots of new roots appeared this morning as well.

03/20 I noticed the water level was quite low, so I replaced the water and added 8L in the bucket. 03/21 She’s almost fully recovered from the FIM training. I noticed I haven’t completely broken the apical dominance by the FIM. I plan to put up a SCROG net and do some supercropping to break it further. 03/24 I started defoliating a bit to get light through to the smaller branches. 03/25 defoliated even more. Unfortunately didn’t take any pics before and after. Set up the SCROG net to get her ready.

27/03 Today I started LSTinto the SCROG net with the main branch. I hope this will break the apical dominance. She’s really thirsty I soon gotta top the reservoir with another 5L. 28/03 Topped the reservoir with 3L nutrient and ph balanced water. 6.1 ph as the ph in the reservoir was to the lower side at 5.68. She’s growing vigorously and has a very bushy appearance. Some of the side branches already got covered again. So I decided to defoliate once again.
