hydrohippy Grow my little beans 🌰🌰🌰🥦🥦🥦 Starting these in jiffy pellets that swell up in water then transplant to pre soaked in ph'd 5.5 water rockwool when ready. Update. Already into the rockwool...these are flying along within the first week

hydrohippy Monday..... Really looking forward to these 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..... Added a few more pictures as they're all growing well

hydrohippy Looking great at the start of week 3. The roots are well on the way and will be air trimming for the next couple of weeks. I'm dipping only half the block in ready made up solution of canna vega til I'm happy enough roots are visible then I'll sit them on spreader mat t and feed once or twice a day by pump on a staggered timer

hydrohippy Growing well...I've sat these on the spreader matt to give roots something to grow into it I still have to move them into flowering tent when they're big enough...I had the pump on a staggered timer but now turned it off as these blocks can hold a shit load of water. If they are over saturated the roots will not grow out of the block. They haven't been fed or watered for over 4 days

hydrohippy These are growing superb....I have fim'd these a few days ago and now put them into flowering tent... They are a fair size now...i was going to put God bud in here but changed my plans so these have gone in a week earlier than planned. The roots are flying along too.

hydrohippy Changed the tank(rez) for 40 ltrs of clean water and feed and ph'd to around 6.0. I let the ph fluctuate alittle as the plants take up different elements of the feed at different ph levels. They are on a feeding schedule of 4x15min intervals on a staggered timer when the lights are on and when the lights are off the pump is off plants dont feed in the night period so when you over feed and the lights come on the plants then draw up the solution and the leaves burn!! All my plants are on piss weak feed and you only have to look at my results to know you dont 13 bottles of feeding crap to achieve good results

hydrohippy Coming on a treat...starting to stretch now and the flower should make an appearance any day... The roots are flying along and looking healthy Normally change feed on a weekly basis but Leaving the veg food in as the flower will make an appearance so not worth changing the feed just for a few days I change the water and feed weekly as the plants take up certain parts of the food that need replenishing. Also let the ph fluctuate a little between 5.8 and 6.2 as the plants take certain parts of the feed at different ph'd too

hydrohippy What can I say other than looking great...I have changed the rez/tank of water and feed for flowering food as stated above. They've got a nice height to them now at 3ft tall.

hydrohippy They've stopped stretching now. They've levelled out at 3ft ish...just enough so I cant poke my head in lol so excuse the crap pictures...when i chop out the gorilla zkittlez the otheside I can get some better pictures. Got a good healthy root system on these girls

hydrohippy Excuse the crap photos it's some what hard to get a decent photo because of the gorilla zkittlez in the way. I've hst these as were going to get close to the light...the flower seems a little slow to start but she is well under way now. I haven't done my self an favours putting 3 of og cookies and 3 gorillas in here. There isn't enough room. Once the other 3 plants are out the way I shall spread out the ogc

hydrohippy Okay I can now get in the tent and take some half decent pictures now the gorilla zkittlez is out the way. I feel that these are late flowering but now I can see better the flower is looking bloody lovely and smells the nuts. I can see what these are going to turn into and I'm pretty excited about it now. I've changed the water and feed as I do weekly for fresh stuff as above feeding ratios to 40ltr of water

hydrohippy Coming on well now and frosting up nicely...will leave the water in a few more days as it contains the pk..I will top up with water and check EC level and add more feed if necessary, then ph it to around 5.8

hydrohippy Starting to flush these for next 2-3 weeks. I didn't change the water last week I just topped up with half strength feed and the pk was still in the water..... If you look carefully you can see some leaf damage from over feeding I would say. The plants have looked quite dark green the last couple of weeks which is a sign of over feeding but my EC level was piss weak! I think these are a bit delicate to grow and as I've always said some plants just dont like canna!!. Other than that the flowers are solid when I squeezed them and the smell is wonderful
