NuclearPyro New to hydro! Notice some white crystalline particles at base of 1st true leaves. Think it's residue from nutes. Planted 12/31/25 in rockwool

NuclearPyro All are 3 weeks old. Forgot to add calmag for 10 days bc i read not too, however, 100% needed for hydro... hence why there is rust spots on the biggest fan leaves. No problem with ph, just gotta get feeding schedule correct with the E.C. and TDS for there size. Overfeed once and caused nutrient burn(on small 1)( N toxicity on big 1s). I sprayed water on the leaves 1 hr before night and I think that is what caused the rust spots. Light burn, however after some added calmag and calmag foliar spray then plain RO water under leaves. They came back praying. Stopped feeding big ones, so lil 1 is catching up. I compacted the rockwool bc it was drenched(rookie move). Never ph'd the RWool either. 85โฐF, RH 85%, VPD .5 Survived harshest mistakes i made. But it took 2 weeks of constant nurturing to figure out mistake and to get on the correct course again. I wanna make it to the end and have some ๐ฒ.

NuclearPyro After 1st big defoliation, Plants took 4 days to recover 100%. Started eating 1 day ago. Guzzled H2O tho. 5 day, early am, plants grew all fan leaves back but smaller. Fuzz and crystals are forming. Maybe 3 weeks if I lucky. Need to stretch. Small buds rn. 4 days after post video and trichome pic taken after defoliation during early flower/mid-flower

NuclearPyro Forgot to upload week 7. After res change, next day that polka dot pattern came on top leaf. Cut off with a bud (another location) that dried up prematurely. The 650 nutes got sucked up a lil bit compared to these sativas water intake. Every day 1-1.5 gallons. That in an 9 hr spand when im at work. Struggling with rh bc of blizzard than warm, then rain, then cold, then repeat. Put a dehumidifier that does my whole basement in the room to suck out the moisture so the new air intake can pump dryer air

NuclearPyro Since week 7, I have used some sewing string and tape with paper towel pieces (so string doesn't imbed) to slightly pulled down on main stems to open up canopy in middle and 3 or 4 fan leaves snipped. The bottom buds in 2 days became like the top buds. Ppfd is like 600 at 13 inches away causing sun Tan on anterior part of stem, or its genetics. 2nd pic is today, DAY 58...... P.S. I journal everything in a book since my 1st grow. Helps me look back on what this strain does not like. Also will upload diary of nothern lights and trainwreck. 1 of each survived out of 4 total. In 4x4 rn. Starting bananablaze, and will have white window started hopefully this weekened. Happy grows and Happy ๐ฒ๐จ

NuclearPyro Struggling with RH, tent is too crowded bc I have lots of negative pressure, tent is bowing in hard. The best I can get down to is 50%RH, however I have tons of circulation. Look at video. I put a dehumidifier in the lung room. Rh drops if I open window, but its raining. Too wet outside rn. It went from blizzard (dry) to rain for 7 days now, maybe thats why Im struggling. Need circulation in lung room too. Vents open, still struggle, tent door open, im fine. And I use blackout curtains so no light penetrates the room. It maintain complete darkness 24/7. Plants sleep when i sleep, so never worried about it. My house was built in 1952 post WWll, so no insulation, just straight brick and a solid slab. That means it will hold moisture. Lung room at 35% RH. Rearranged set up. Trichomes...... 70% clear, 20-25%% cloudy, 5% amber

NuclearPyro DAY 66 from EMERGENCE......still struggle with RH. Made adjustments with set up to increase circulation/airflow.
Hard to see thru jewlera loop sometimes
Clear: 40-50%
Cloudy: 35-45%
Amber: 5-10%
White pistols are 40% orange. Any brown hairs are from mechanical damage of me leaning over and I brush the top colas. I know I know. I wear full PPE. Always wear gloves if possible. Keep clean!
STARTING FLUSH TODAY. 7-10 days (I know studies say you DO NOT have to flush, especially with hydro, I would with soil, but that's my opinion). Might add some bloom depending on how they look.
RH: 45-50%
Temp: 74โฐF.
VPD: 1.3-1.6 (i know)
H2O temp: 72โฐF (I know).... 3 circulating fans, 1 air intake, 1 exhaust. Vents open or tent open to help with stats. Last week blizzard, this week rain for 6 days. Usually open windows for fresh air but can't.
Added dehumidifier to lung room and standing oscillating fan to keep air moving in lung room.
ALL IS GOOD IN THE HOOD. STAY GOLDEN PONYBOY....HAPPY ๐ฒ๐จ

NuclearPyro Day 74
Struggling with RH, Temp, and H2O temp. H2O temp cause tent to overheat. Cooled the water down and opened the window to let exhaust out bc it was recirculating warm air. In good range now
Found salt build up in stones and some biofilm on plastic on the stone disc, changed out res and cleaned with dilute bleach (always use dilute bleach when cleaning res buckets).
All is happy except afraid of reveg bc the last 2 weeks sooo much stress bc the weather.
Trichomes are about 70% cloudy. Within harvest window deff. The lil plant bc of stunted growth, might run 2 more weeks depending on trichomes. All bud sites under the bush have white pistols. Just going for that main cola, thats it
The bottom budsites trichomes are 60% cloudy, so wondering if I do a top harvest, let the popcorn buds go another week than finish harvest. Any help please.
These plants smell sooooo sooo sweet and crazy sticky.

NuclearPyro Watch the videos.... THIS WAS MY 1ST INDOOR DWC GROW!!! Personally I think I didnt do to bad for making what I thought were crucial mistakes.
2 DAY FLUSH around 10.5 weeks to get salt build up out. Than 200ppm of forabloom. Took plant 1 week to eat up 100ppm and like 1/2 Gal of H2O. They started to change. Maybe bc of the nutrient drop cause premature maturity or it was entering senescence. However did not know it was in its final swell bc i never researched such a thing. Never crossed my mind that it can bud twice. SMH!!! But it had bloom nutes at that time. Than I did a real flush around 11 wks 2 days. Than been flushing and changing res every 5 to 6 days. Lower water to a gallon and dropped to 65Fโฐ and 40% RH for this past week. Temps here in mid-atlantic are fluctuating bad. Gonna be 83 for a few days then drop down to 40s again smh. Did found 2 seedling pods forming soooo yeah. All Fine and Dandy! Gonna empty reservoirs of all H2O tn and let them sit in dark for 1 or 2 days than HARVEST!
CLEAR- 20%
CLOUDY- 70%
JUST MY GUESS WITH MY LOUP
AMBER- 10%
Bc my 1st grow, did not really know gotta go 2-3wks past breeders date. With sativas, and sativa hybrid dominant strains, I will go Minimum of 13 wks and indica and their hybrid dominant strains, 11 wks. Than add or minus 1 or 2 wks depending on strain and environment conditions. I've seen 60 days flips and autos go for 100 days. I will be at DAY 90 OR 91 WHEN HARVESTED.
HAPPY ๐ฒ๐จ
Dried for 23 days at 56-60Fโฐ and 60RH
Dry weight before trim= 6.5oz with 2 Big plants
Dry weight after trim= 3.4oz (not including the 0.6oz of baby buds that are fallen apart. Will use for eddies with trim.
Trim= 1.5oz
Branches/stems= 1oz
Curing for 5 weeks.
TASTE: A sweet citrus(lemon x orange) with some skunk almost like a sour but not quite there.
I give a 6/10 bc lacking in potentcy.
Cloudy= 60-75%
Amber= 5%
Clear= 25-30%
Strain potency per breeders: 18-24%
Very clean burn and High. Head high, then body, will get stuck for like 30 mins then get unstuck like nothing ever happened. Last about 1hr if that. No dragging ass like usual when smoking alot. I like it. Im proud that I started this and finished it.
Please remember this my 1st grow and I did hydro!!
Smokes good but I pulled maybe 2 weeks to early bc the front plant started to develop seed pods and I found a seed so I pulled it. As you see in videos, the 1 was dying on me, the 1 that was developing seeds. Too much stress the last week or so. Found 1 more seed while trimming. For not truely knowing the seed strain, not to shabby. I thought it was blue dream or gummy bears but I found the blue dream and fog dog seeds. So these seeds came from an 8th of gummy bears from dispensary. Had about 10 seeds in an 8th. Had some genetic issues towards end. Leaves becoming 1 and just funky stuff on front plant only. Back left plant is straight GAS!! Maybe thats why they pulled it from dispensary. This looks nothing like internet pics of this strain. Free seeds sue me.
HAPPY GROWS ๐ชด

NuclearPyro Made tons of mistakes but next grow will be on point. I want to experiment with some variables that I saw and try new techniques at the same time apply old school techniques. Maybe have a good fusion of both. I wanna get into the 30% range
No, autoflowers will flower when they want too, even photos if given stress and problems, need to make sure what you're running as both require different light hours
You're running your light too close dude also dude, use a light metre with some normal paper.
If you're having root problems with hydroguard its something within the system itself, hydrogen peroxide it at the recommended amount, same with your nets holding your ladies, dip em into the solution thats straight h202.
You're lady will show signs of drooping, thats okay no matter what you do, youll see that from topping to whatever else.
If youre not running a chiller you need too or youre gonna run into a lot of problems, look at my 4 to the other 2 with a chiller, I'm doing an experiment atm for myself to see why the upgrades are worth it.
Cal mah issues with hydro are common, run a double dose always, it'll save you problems, look at the diaries
@NuclearPyro, yeah I've spent a lot and still not done yet ๐ I'll have my other alien 2 pot on the go soon, with the alien V system later this year coming in with a living soil bed in a few months. Not hugely interested in the nutriculture flogro or bubble box due to the difficulties in changing water or moving them with ease, they're huge so will be switching them out after they're done
@RBG, hey bro, check out week 6 floweing again. Put up a trichome pic. Defoliated again today too. Way to bushy, video is after defoliation and still bushy. Gotta bend the stems out lil to get more light down under the canopy. But going ๐ช
@NuclearPyro, offt nice as bro, they're going strong.
Remember to only defoilation up to week 2 of flower otherwise you will loose some yield. Unfortunately sometimes its needed past so don't worry too much if you need to a week after that 2 week period
You've definitely got 2 more sativa dominated sides of the strains your running, and you're small one just might be stunted out due to the early problems you had but sometimes the stunted ladies when they're switching to flower can go crazy and get themselves out of a smaller yield or smaller lady in general
75 F, 51% rh, 1.48 VPD, looking good! I have two big carbon filters exhausting and a large dehumidifier running nonstop, my temps are hitting around 80 at that rh giving me a high VPD. It's a struggle brother
Wow, these plants are looking happy and healthy ๐๐ฑ๐ฅ Great job! Keep growing strong ๐ช
