Welcome back once again to my DWC tutorial for beginners like Me. As this grow is drawing to an end I decided that this week I'll run back thru the topics I previously discussed for a bit of revision . Firstly I'll mention the plants progress. The Blue cheese auto is almost ready to pick , The calyxes are swelling and the trichomes are mostly clouded now with a few amber. I will let her run thru until monday the 9th before starting the flushing process with some flawless finish. This go for aprox 2 days and then I'll just run her on plain water until the end of week 7 Unless She's ready before then She's Drinking nutes still and I've dosed her up with the last of the liquid guano concentrate . Now for some revision of what we have already discussed . *Week 1* I showed how to make some bubble buckets with full instructions and pictures *Week 2 *Was all about water chemistry and that Cannabis prefers to be in a range from 5.5 - 6.5 when growing in hydroponics *Week 3* Was about the importance of keeping your tds and ph meters calibrated and working properly *Week 4* All about nutrient mixing and how to prepare a nutrient solution *Week 5* was all about how the plant contracted rust fungus and how over the coarse of just one week and the use of sulfur I overcame the issue and the plant won *Week 6* Was the weekly care guide for new growers Basically explaining the care you must provide from day to day to keep the plant healthy *Week 7* Was all about the optimum environment and conditions your plants will need to thrive We discussed the use of fans etc to keep the grow area cool etc *Week 8* Pests and diseases that can attack your plants we discuss the ways to combat this *Week 9* No tutorial just a full plant update with pics *Week 10* was about nutrient problems and deficiencies how to read what your plants are telling you and how to either prevent or fix any problems *Week 11* was about the plants trichomes and how to tell when the optimum harvest times by watching their development. Ideally you want them Clouded with a few amber . but this will differ from user to user and from strain to strain. *Week 12* was a revision of the previous weeks and next week will be the final plant pics before harvest . Thanks heaps to those who have been following this diary so far and I hope I have managed to help someone along the way

Nice info! This will help a lot of people starting out. That exhaust out the window like that on the ac is false advertising I think lol. There is a water hose that drains condensation from the cooling coil and it can't go up like that. It has to go down or it will leak.

Looking good man. So does silica in general help keep that PH where you want it, or just the brand your using. Also silica helps plants handle higher temperatures if I'm correct?

@DILLIGAF, cool il keep following your progress and keep doing your thang!
DILLIGAF
DILLIGAFcommented6 years ago
@jollychap, I think it acts as a buffer in all the brands of silica and yes it makes the plants cell walls stronger so they can handle more stress like heat etc

I'm very interested to learn if you can manage your humidity issues with your new dehumidifier. I personally gave up on this. It will increase the temperature to unacceptable levels. Of course the humidity will decrease with the higher temperatures, but for me it is not worth it. Also the unit I have draws more power than all my lamps combined. Probably it is better to do an indoor grow in winter when it is so much easier to control the environment.
