Welcome to my 2nd run RDWC with GZ,
Everything went fine, now using floranova and see where it takes us
Going to let them grow the same as last time but hopefully a little faster now :)
Cya
Maybe a bit late with watering, they felt a bit light.
Also im not sure if these led bars are working for me, i used 2 of them last time but i thought it was too much, but i think they are smaller than last time, but might as well be caused by lack of water..
They look more healthy though.
Cya next week
I made a little mistake by letting them soak up the nutrients from below and noticed right after that they dint like it,so i put them in a dwc system and flushed the plants from above also noticed alot of purple so i added 0,25 ec of calmag to see if it was lacking.
That made the total ec of 1,05 wich is too high, leaves were turning darker, but kinda left them in there for a week.
Currently in week 4 i cleaned up my system and set it up again with the ladys in them, they are in for 2 days now and i can see rapid growth coming now :)
Some roots grew like a feet tall in those 2 days!
Cya next week!
Added calmag to 0,3 ec and used floranova to get a total of 0,8 ec
Its getting along, although i see some tiny errors with the feeding; maybe im adding too much calmag, i see some calmag deficiencies wich is odd since i added 1ml/L already
Topped the plant maybe i should have waited one more week it slowed down drasticly during the week because it was already recovering from previous solution, but its recovering pretty well now.
Cya next week
So i changed my water on day 31 and cut my calmag in half and added a lil more floranova grow to get 0,8 ec
I noticed the day after that it was a problem for sure, they're booming now, especially with my humidifier on, they are turning around more healthy.
Also the purple stem seem to be stopped, this prob due to the fact i gave too much cal n mag wich give problems with phosphorus and will indirectly shown signs of calmag deficiencies and other problems, atleast that what i think at the moment.
I'm also going to upgrade my system asap.
I'm going to make it with more PP and some PE plastic materials, so the nutrients wont stick to the tubing on the inside wich are covering my roots now, it doesnt look like its hurting much but it doesn't look right so i gotta fix it.
Also going to add a filter and a chiller to it, because im already in the danger zone with my solution temperature and since summer is getting more close i've got to make some changes now, while they are still small ;)
Cya next week😁😃
Last water changed i lowered the dosis of calmag again with 50%.
Maybe i dont have to add any calmag with this floranova grow, but waiting how they turn out this week, looking already better than before.
Also prob going to install my new system when i got all the parts, i devinitely need a filter and a cooler asap before its to late ;)
I just accidently broke one of my stems and it went on dying so i had to remove it, i did topped the other side so i would still be able to fill in a square shape plant in.
So hopefully it wont delay that much with the other side, they need to fill the room in the same time evenly.
Overall going pretty well though, the growth rate is pretty fast now :)
K thats about it for this week, cya ;)
Last day of the week i upgraded my system, i dint had the opportunity to do so before so I already started having problems with water temp and no filter, it seems to me that my roots started rotting
So im not really sure what to do now, its been a few days now in the new system and they look like they starting to be more healthy, hopefully the rotting process will not spread any further since i have a cooler now its around 18-19 degrees now, if anyone have experience with this feel free to advise ;)
Cya next week 🙏
Update day 52 : i've been adding H2o2 starting with a low dosis 1/4 of recommended and will build it up to see if it helps or not. I've been reading about it and it got me convinced it should work, so lets see how this will go.
The cause of this is prob the residue of build up salts (mostly caused by the fact i dint had no filter in the system) wich suffocate my roots combined with a water temp that was in the danger zone 23 +- degrees
Gotta feeling its starting to get better, not 100% sure but noticed roots are looking better than last week so fingers crossed haha, i bought some h2o2 12% food grade.. and they seem to b doing better after i added it into the solution and this system is working way better than my previous one prob due to the fact i added a filter in the system and a cooler but time will tell!!
Cya next week!
So i lowered my ec to 0,6 i already noticed some calcium spots but now it was getting worse logicly, so i added a little more nutrients after a few days(day 59) to an ec of 0,9
Also added more H2o2 on day 58, so not 100% sure about the calcium odd spots, but the roots starting to develop better more secondary roots growing, so hopefully its going better from now on.
I'm prob gonne let these ladies get into flower next weekend!
Cheers
Added more nutrients since its lacking calcium, also added another fan for better air circulation.
I have some issues, like Rv is too low most of the time and prob some feeding issues im just not sure about anything atm.. too much shit going on,, ill let these girls into flower this week and see how it goes, it does look better than previous grow so hopefully they reward me accordingly ;)
Tips and/or questions are more than welcome!!
Cya next week
Finally flower time!
They're doing pretty well this week.
I've raised the ec to 1,5 but lowered it the day after to 1,35and 1,2 after that, still alot of yellowing in the new growth but its alright i think.
I already did some defoliation in the start of next week and will scrogg them out later on.
update on the roots : They are doing pretty well i still see that, what i believe is rot, but it doesnt seem to spread and alot of new growth! So i believe i've fixed the problem, no bad signs, plants look happy😃
Cya next week!😎
Things are looking pretty good now, everything seems to be fine.
She's really bushy and growing a bit out of control so i have done alot of trimming, every week ill trim her up a little.
I prefer a little bigger buds than previous grow ;)
Also i did scrogg'd them because she prob wouldnt be able to hold all those buds up later on
Curious to see how they will go this time, they look a lot more healthy 🙏
Any feedback is welcome!
Cya next week!😎
Didnt had much time this week, ph dropped like crazy to 4,9 when i checked yesterday, also noticed calcium deficiency again. Prob caused by ph & the lack of nutrients it dropped van from 1,15 down to 1,03
But its looking pretty good tho! Bud sites popping up and growing like crazy, also they re drinking alot of water.
So overall pretty happy so far, i got it more under control than previous grow, hopefully the buds will be twice as big ;)
Cya next week!😎
Finally im able to make better pictures I got a new phone :D haha
The right one is growing a bit out of control they grew 20cm in a week haha
The left one has less but bigger buds
Curious to see how the buds will develop this time.
Together they drink +-8 liter a day
Also did some defoliation earlier than i intended to because i dont want them to grow anymore in height, so i hope they start putting the energy in the buds and finish stretching.
Cya next week ;)
Still figuring out how to use my camera properly, so dont bother some photos haha
They are doing great, definitely better than last time, they were already dying around this stage, so im thrilled to see that they're thriving!!😃😃😃
The right girl is 110cm in height and the one on the left is 80cm
Considering all the errors i've had i'm happy to see progress ;)
These ladies should probably finish in about 5 weeks
I'm gonne start next round soon already, so i can put them into flower faster, but that will be a new diary with a new strain Blueberry OG 😃
Cya next week!!😎😎
This week was a bit too hot during the day, hopefully they wont get fluffy, fingers crossed haha
chiller is working great keeping the water temp on point
overall looks great but im not happy with the nutrients, doesnt seem to work right in rdwc, so i bought some canna aqua
Also im going to switch from h2o2 to rizhotonic from canna, it seem to be more efficient and better for the plant since my water temp is fixed i dont think h2o2 will benefit anymore
I believe this will make the plants more healthy when i compare to other growers here, thanks!
Cya next week and have good one😎😎
Already decided to make the switch to canna nutrients, they are doing great!
I had some issues with high temp and rv but i think they are handling it well :)
ill need to make another scrogg net or something to hold those buds up, the right colas are to long and heavy to stay up :)
Curious to see how big they get, Hope they will continue at this rate and really fatten up,
Cya next week!!
Buds just keep getting bigger and bigger!! I think they need atleast 2 weeks more, so i gave them 1 week more pk booster and i want to try and give GHE ripen for late flowering next week.
Going to flush them when i think they are as good as ready to chop, till they yellow and hopefully get purple :)
Cya next week!
Noticed the burning edges on the leaves became bigger, so i started giving a late flower nutrient from ghe on day 60, it doesnt contains any nitrogen
I should have started a bit sooner with the pk booster around week 3/4
Also i was slacking with the 2nd scrogg net, so i kinda got it right with alot of effort and pain, i also broke 2 tops, but they seem to be intact so hopefully they can hold on just a lil longer.
It just had to be done, they are really fattening up so i dont want to risk any chance for budrot, did some defoliation aswell and the air flow is much better again.
Its amazing to see how well they are doing, its been a rough ride but they just keep on continue to grow buds, i lowered the power around 70% for a couple of days to lower the day temp to around 27c so the biggest tops can fatten up a bit more, they are way to close to the lights imo
BUT im really exited to see the final weight of these lady's havent seen anything like this before.
I already know how good of flavor it has but this has to be better than previous one, the smell is amazing!!
How long do you guys flush with (r)dwc? Thanks!
Cya next week
Didn't change my res this week, because they weren't ready for flushing yet. i did top off my res every other day.
So i could've been feeding them a week more with normal nutrients, but its alright they are doing great and still booming.
Next week i start flushing 0,1 ec with flora kleen, i wonder if its better to add a little cal-mag to make the water stable..not sure though..
I'll wait patiently untill she's ready to chop down. They prob need 1 more week but curious to see what happens when i start flushing..
Cya later G's
The last week have been really rough for them to finish with this heat outside, i gave them 48h darkness and then i took all the leaves off.
Now they're hanging upside down :)
Took me a while to defoliate them all the way, but still need to be trimmed after drying.
The smell and taste is incredible!!
So now we gotta wait a little longer to get the final weight ;)
Cya next time!
Hello my friends! I've finally got some results to share!
So first of all conditions weren't perfect throughout the grow, I came across lot of problems again but i've seem to have learned from them and kept trying to make them as healthy as possible!
The new system is working much better than the previous one i made, so really awesome to see how things are working out :D
Now about the harvest,
I've had 2 complete different phenotypes, both were really amazing plants but I really got to give it to the sativa dominant, those buds were incredible huge i haven't seen anything like it !!
Unfortunately most time during flower, they got too much stressed out by the high temperatures and starting stretching like crazy, i wasn't able to lower the room temperature because of the weather.
Now i've learned, so i wont do a grow with flower-period around summertime again haha
But i've got to say that this strain seem to be very difficult to master, but once you know what you are doing.. i can see you would be able to get some serious yield of this strain and the aroma's are really awesome, even with the heat they both still have some proper taste to them after curing them for about 4 weeks now :)
They both taste very different as well!!
The much smaller but compact plant from the left side gave me about 200 gram's with around 130g great quality (rockhard) and like 50 gram trim. and tase like some weird fruity taste i cant put a name to it, its really awesome
The sativa one tastes more like sweet-sour citrus taste and smell to it , I was really disappointed to see how fluffy they turned out after drying, its like build of only foxtails and not really hard rock hard big fat buds, like i expected them to be.. But still i've got atleast 400 gram's from that plant.
Wich is insane considering everything and pretty weird to say this is the biggest yield so far, rdwc seem to be the right choice but bad timing ;) haha
Shout out to Barneys farm for making this incredible strain!!
A lot of different pheno's to be found in those seeds though but most of them have some really incredible quality's
I hope i covered everything now, if not feel free to ask !!
Thanks for your help, likes and comments!!
Check out my new grow Blueberry OG from BarneysFarm
