Hello everyone, Thank you for stopping by and checking out my grow. Tonight (8/15) will be day 14 of flower but I'm going to go ahead and give my two week update today as I will be busy the next few days. Overall health seems to be good except for some minor cal mag deficiencies(slight purpling stems) , the chronic being the worst followed by the borderliner and the widow with very minor purpling. Other than that All of the girls seem to stretching and happy another 4-5" of growth this week. Day 14 will bring the defoliation of anything lower than 24" down from the top of the canopy I will also be removing the large fan leaves that may block tops, I will try to leave as many of top fan leaves as possible . Defoliation during flower seems to be a highly debated subject and if anyone has any input or advice I would love to hear it. From my understanding you don't want to strip anymore off the plant after day 14 in fear of stress or shock? Also I offset my defoliation and feed because from my understanding is that you don't want to strip 30-40% of the plant off and give it the same amount of nutrients ( heard the same thing could shock and possibly burn). Again this is all a combination of you tube, books and hear say . I've never been fortunate enough to speak with a knowledgeable grower about growing. I guess that's why I'm here lol. So if anyone has any tips I would I've to hear them. As far as my nutrient schedule goes I did not raise my ppm to much as I believe they are almost maxed out . The last feeding I did not see a substantial drop in ppm the following days and after this mornings reading I believe I'm close. Starting next week I will add big bud to the mix but my base should stay about the same. My nutrient schedule was White widow 29 A&B 30 Cal Mag 4 FL+ 34 Nectar 3 silica Ppm-1160 Ppm on 8/15 was -1150 Chronic 27 A&B 33 Cal Mag 30 Nectar 4 FL+ 3 Silica Ppm-1170 Ppm on 8/15 -1040 Borderliner 34 A&B 33 Cal Mag 4 FL+ 30 Nectar 3 silica Ppm-1280 Ppm on 8/15-1240 If anyone has anyone has any questions or comments the good and the bad I would love to hear them. Thanks again for checking out my grow. Until next week friends Stay safe and have a good one

The chronic and borderliner notes on the pictures are switched and I'm not sure how to go back and edit the picture. Sorry about that, I'm still trying to learn and figure everything out. Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

One question if the canopy is tied to the netting , how will you flush ? Or change water 💦

@BigDaddyK, right now the plants are about 9" to 10"away from the bottom of the hood. Wayyy closer than I like I can already see the side effects. All the buckets are already tapped so I'd only have to raise them up unfortunately that's not a option this round. Next time I won't veg as long and maybe then I can have some options.

@Kirby08,you could add a tap to buckets and raise a little on concrete blocks or wood , then gravity would empty - just a thought 👍

@BigDaddyK, i admit dwc in the Scrog isn't the easiest thing to do especially since I change the water every 7 days but after a lot trial and error and more spilled water and nutes than I care to admit I feel that I finally came up with a descent sytem. To remove the water in the bucket I use a shop vac with a screened tip. To add my new res water I pre mix the nutes in another 5 gallon bucket then pump the water into the bucket using a bilge pump. It isn't the easiest system but it works for now. On my next run I'll probably build a mini Scrog that is on the bucket itself or something so I can remove the plants if I need to and they are not locked in.

@Kirby08, ok I appreciate your honesty! I had a few oh problems in Dwc also. I found my plants always flowered later in Dec for some reason.

@BreakingBud, honestly I'm probably not the best person to ask. I don't really have much experience with other nutes to compare from but I will say it's a pretty simple system. I wouldn't buy it for the perfect PH however. In my dwc system it tends to rise for the first two days and It usually takes adding PH down once each of those days before it will stabilize. The only problem I've ever had when when I first got it and I went off the manufacturer recommend strength. Other than that I just do roughly quarter strength of the recommendation then I add cal mag , silica ,nectar and great white to the mix and I haven't really had a problem since.

That's not cal deficiency. More likely mag. Cal is a inmobile nute, so will only effect the new growth where it needs it. Mag is mobile so the plant will take from the shade leaves from the middle of the plant and use to keep the new growth growing.Cal I'd expect to see the tips of the buds yellowing

I used advanced nutes for a couple of grow in my Wilma used as a DWC. Nothing but problems. The pH was uncontrollable, raised all the time. Sometimes I'd had shit load of pH down to correct the tank which will do nothink. Then 3/4 days later will would drop 2.0 over night. All there claims on pH perfect are rubbish.
