All in all, this was a good week, I started pruning some of fat banana's bigger fan leaves that were blocking the inner nodes from exposure to the light. I also started "LST" for fat banana by bending her all the way down and i topped the main cola at the 6th node. I'm going to let hulkberry grow for another week before I start to pruning or LST'ing her. Unfortunately, i found powdery mold on some of the fan leaves midweek, so I used Neem Oil for 3 days and it all disappeared, i know-how using pesticides is a touchy subject in the grow-community. But fortunately, i only had to use it for a short period in time, because i caught it in the early stages. Fat Banana bounced back like a true champ, I added some new equipment to the grow, a fuel pump to make feed changes easier and an air pump and airstones to aerate the water adding more oxygen for nutrient uptake.

Roots are starting to pop out the bottom of all three root riot cubes, do I now transfer them into the dwc bucket system and or add nutrients?

Hi @Mr_Og_GreenThumb! Yes you can transplant them into their final DWC container. They will appreciate nutrients if and only if the EC is low, so take it easy when adding fertilizer, do it step by step and adjust your feeding schedule to your plant's health and reactions. Also, I recommend to proceed to seedling selection: by casting the strongest seedlings and killing the weakest at early age, you will ensure yourself a nice grow with only good phenotypes, I guess you don't like to grow weak plants - me neither - seedling selection really improved my results. Hope this will help, keep us updated and happy growing!

@Stick, in distilled water my nutrients are at 158 ppm.

I'm doing a critical mass DWC cycle. I've always stuck with this strain because it's one of the big yielders but I've never really looked into other strains. Do you have another recommendation for big yields? Is your hulkberry a better strain then mine? And also have you any experience with hydro autos? Keep up the good work and great documentation P.s do you have manifolding experience and how come you don't want to top or fim?

@Mr_Og_GreenThumb, Mean sorry for late reply and yeah im sceptical bout main lining seeing as i only have time to veg until the end of the month so even the stress of topping might not fit in.

Mr_Og_GreenThumbcommented6 years ago
@jollychap, Hay, Hulkberry and Fat banana are both high yield and high THC (27% and 28%). I honestly don't know if hulkberry (David Banner #3) is better then critical mass, but my seeds are from RQS and so far i haven't had any issues with their genetic makeup. Hulkberry did struggle out the gate as you can see in my earlier posts but she's made a strong recovery, and I don't manifold. I have a Bonzai main stem shape, i like to LST them and then after the 7/8 node i top them once at the main cola's and i may top the newer cola's so that i have a flat canopy and a wide base for the newer nodes to grow. I'm updating my week 7 today, thanks for the follow and comments if you ever have any question please feel free to drop me a line. Mr. Og Greenthumb

@Mr_Og_GreenThumb hi mate I popped a soulution in for that above👆 question you asked Hope it helps mate

Is light too close? Causing too hot temps.. are the roots aerated? Possibly too wet are you drowing that seedling? Just some ideas to check..also could this be caused by nutrient lock out? this sized seedlings don't need much to scare them.. hope you get it right!

LongJohn420commentedweek 26 years ago
Those seedlings maybe yellowing because of that big 600W light

Mr_Og_GreenThumbcommentedweek 26 years ago
Lights are 3ft away on 400w, I regulate the temp. Never higher then 83f during the day and never lower then 78f at night. Roots are aerated, ph is kept at 5.8 and ppm levels stay between 700 and 850. Plants are growing, fat banana is exceeding expectations, the cheese and hulkberry had seed shell that didn't fall off till very late. But they are recovering very well for only 3 weeks! Fat banana and hulkberry like nutrients at half strength and the cheese likes 1/4 strength.

@Mr_Og_GreenThumb, ppm of 700-850 seems way to high for little plants like that I had to drop my flowering girls down to 900 and it still seems a little high Just a thought 😀

Finally transfer the root riot into their final home (5gal bucket). The fat banana is soldiering on but the cheese and hulkberry are struggling. Any suggestions or are they wasted? See 6/17 pix

Mr_Og_GreenThumbcommentedweek 26 years ago
It's on 200w is that still too much?? Thd fat banana has really started growing very well without any issues, the hulkberry and cheese secondary leaves seem stunted. I'll post updated pix. But tx for the info
