Only 2 out of 3 so far....I'll be pissed if that 3rd one don't split!! The seeds are in jiffy pellets that swell up in water. I throw in a splash of formulex just help out once they form roots

Looking good for the biggest two. The 3 smaller are 4 or 5 days behind as the 3rd seed of the first lot didn't germinate so had to buy more.

Monday..... 2 big ones are looking nice the other 3 are a week behind ..not sure what way to go training wise with these yet...I might mainline or lst? Who knows watch this space. Feed wise I'm dipping the blocks in a ready made up solution under the tray..I dont have have roots coming out the base of the blocks yet and I want the roots to air trim when they do hence no spreader mat under the blocks.... ...the blocks are wet enough to last a week so no need to saturate the blocks with the pump on. Thursday.... Coming along well, Roots have appeared now

Still dipping the blocks. The roots are coming out now so they will air trim which will make a nice root mass in the block until they're big enough to flower

Growing well...I've sat these on spreader matt now to give the roots something to grow into. I will have to move these to flower tent soon. The pump was on a staggered timer 2x 15 min intervals but it's now off as the blocks hold a shit load of water. They haven't been fed or watered for 4 days now. The roots are doing well. Also have been fim'd

Had to change my plans with these so they are staying in the veg room longer than expected as my purple queen isn't finished. I fim'd these last week and now I've topped every branch in order to slow them down. Hopefully in a way it's done me a favour as now I'll have double the amount of heads. These will end up big plants hopefully with a good canopy. These are still only being fed for 15 mins twice in 24hr period

3 out of 5 going into flowering today the other 2 will follow a week or so. I fim'd these a little while ago to slow them up as I wasn't ready for them. Then I topped each side branch a week later back to the next nodes to slow them up even more and used 'plant bends' to bend the tops over. I think I've created some beasty plants with lots of colas to come👍👏👏 Hopefully it will improve on yield too. I'm quite pleased with how these turned out I might just start topping all side branches if this works out 😁👏🏆 These will be on a staggered timer 4x15 minute intervals through the day time and off through the night....now watch my roots go crazy The tank(rez) is 50ltrs all I've added is canna aqua Vega af the rate of 2ml per litre and that gives me an EC of 0.8 and then ph'd to around 6.1 My plain tap water has an EC of 0.5 so you can see it's a piss weak feed and that's all they need. Not 13 bottles of this, that and the other that some are using on here and wondering why their plants look terrible.

Sunday..... Wow these have shot off in a week...I can tell these will be monsters. I think topping each side branch has done me loads of favours...it wasn't my intention to do this but I had to slow the plant down as I wasnt ready for them in the flower room. Will change the tank of feed and water for fresh lot as part of a weekly water change Wednesday...... These are getting a stretch on now so I have hst them today...love this technique as it produces fat colas

Looking great. They've really stretched this week and got flower coming on well. Changed the tank/rez of water for fresh stuff as above feeding schedule and then ph'd. Added two more plants in this week now my violator kush has gone. These two are 2 weeks behind hence no flower on the the last two pics of the plants

Holy shit look at the size of that bitch...I've been watching grow and thinking she's gona hit the roof and she has. Now I've bent her over and I bet 24 hours later she be back up there lol. Think I'll need to tie her down. The smaller God buds at the end are two weeks behind as I had no room in this tent at the time. I've changed the water and feed for a fresh tank load. These will have beasty buds on them soon. Topping the side branches in veg has given me twice as many heads..these plants look awesome

Start of 5th week. I have changed the water and feed for a fresh lot...idols have to top up this tank of water several times a week as the beasts are drinking shit loads of water. I've added the pk. Only 30ml though. These are looking superb. The tallest one I bent over last week is trying to hit the roof again, I now have a Yoyo holding it down instead of up lol The bud production is mental on these i dont think i quite seen anything like it. The two smaller plants under the black fan are two weeks behind the other 3

Topped up the water tank this week rather than changing it as I have pulled my back out again and can barely move. I've used half strength feed and even chucked in 10 more ml of pk as these plants are fucking huge but only 10ml so not to over fertilise them as they had pk two weeks ago !! The bigger the plant the longer they take to finish off!! The two plants under the black fan are two weeks behind and have had the same half strength feed and their pk on the 5th week

@@grzesiek, I use 40 and 50 litre tanks so I'm feeding about 0.8 ml per litre About 40ml in 50ltr tank of water And ... 30ml in 40ltr I've never used rhizo I use roughly 1.5 to 2ml per litre of aqua flores depending on what stage the plants are at I use canna zym. This video convinced me... https://youtu.be/cpTc_8FLGow On week 5 is roughly when the plant needs extra p & k as that's when the plant is putting all its energy into making a flower

@GoldGrow, I’ve got a new NFT setup going to however it’s more of a hybrid since I’m not currently using a mat and top feeding. We’ll see what modifications I have to make to maximize it but for now my shorty autos are looking strong!

@Psilocubensis, it costs about £5 for 50ft roll here in the UK...I can send you a roll if you want? At a guess I'd say postage would cost about £5

Looking great as ALWAYS! I just started a diary with the build of my NFT setup. It’s not all perfect as you’ll see in my writeup but the ball is rolling. Now it’s time to start building the second one for the photo tent. Don’t know that I’ll change much unless you have suggestions. Thanks for all the advice and photos of how to. Happy growing!

Also curious how many times a day you feed or if you just let it rip constantly? I put my seedlings on a 6 feed per day at 400 ppm right now and they seem to be responding well.
