AlphaCut_Gen This diary is a raw log of my RDWC grow in the Hydra Unlimited system starting on day 11 from clone. No hype, no marketing — just photos, numbers, and results. The goal is to document how these plants respond to feed, training, and environment as the run progresses. If something works, it’ll show. If it doesn’t, it’ll be in the diary.
Appreciate anyone taking the time to follow along.

AlphaCut_Gen Minor pH drift caused a Ca/Mg deficiency. Corrected with a full water change and adjustments—plants recovered fast. Running 1.8 EC, pH locked at 6.0. Light intensity increased another 25% and VPD at 0.9–1.1. Put the trellis net in—plan is to fully fill most the net within two weeks before flower

AlphaCut_Gen Light is at 70% (511 watts) about 2 feet above canopy. Did a water change and ramped EC to 2.9. Majority of purpling is now gone. Ladies are growing very quickly with no fuss. Environment is dialed in tight and I’m pretty happy so far with how it’s going.

AlphaCut_Gen It’s currently day 4 of flower. I’m a bit behind on updating this as I’ve been working longer hours at work. It’s been 2 weeks since I put the trellis on. Nothing crazy happening, just steady tuckin. Once I let them stretch up, I’ll throw the second layer of trellis on and do a defol and lollipop and go from there. Appreciate yall checkin me out

AlphaCut_Gen I’ve stopped tucking over the past week to avoid snapping shoots during stretch. At this point I’m letting the plants do what they do best and focusing on environment and nutrition rather than manipulation.
Once the second trellis net goes in, I’ll start assigning individual squares, spreading the canopy a bit more, and following up with a defoliation to improve airflow and light penetration.
We’re currently 9 days into flower and the plants are healthy, vigorous, and drinking well. I couldn’t ask for a better run so far. I expect to see bud sites forming across all tops by the next update as stretch begins to slow and flower development kicks in.

AlphaCut_Gen Stretch kicked in nicely over the last week. Installed the second level of trellis to help support and guide. Also did a 50% water change. I couldn’t be happier with this grow so far.. constantly praying, no issues. This thing has been dialed from the jump and I’m excited for the next couple weeks as buds begin to gain size and give me a little sneak peak into what they’ll become.
