So my first attempt at Dark Devil was thwarted by my Northern Lights getting root rot and giving it to the rest of the plants. So these two new double Ds get their own tank with a huge amount of oxygen. Can't wait to see how they turn out!
So... Ended up in the hospital, from smoking unclean government weed (severe asthma attack). 5 days later and I'm back in the swing of things. I've decided to keep them outside the tent, give em their own light and more sun, especially cause my other grow has doubled in size and there is no room. These girls are looking good. Not as much root growth as I thought there would be, but I'm waiting. I'm testing 2 different sized airstones, to see the effects.
Girls are a bit behind, they only hsd a low watt FL. Bought a new 1000W LED for this grow. The fans in my other LED died. Cant wait to see the buds that come from these girls! We're halfway through week 4 and I think they're getting ready to switch into flower mood. 😊
I think I'm gonna call it quits with at least plant #2. I noticed a manganese deficiency starting on the bottom leaves of both plants. I changed and re-nuted the water. Got the pH down to 5.7-6.0 but there is too much struggle for it to be worth it. Plant #2 looks just sad and #1 is trying her best to hang in there.
But what can you do. It's my first time doing hydro with autos. They would've bounced back if they were photo periods.
Update: End of week 5 & somehow these girls are still alive and flowering. I think this diary is just an experiment to see what's gonna happen.
Been away for exams but I'll upload the missing weeks. These ladies bounced back hard! I'm surprised! I kinda thought they were gonna die but they look amazing! Loving the LED, and smell nice. Now I know they're small but that's cause the veg cycle got messed up. Few more weeks till it's time to chop! 😋👌🏾
@Sweet_Seeds,
They're currently under a 1000w LED dull spec. I have the light at 30inches away bc it was causing the leaves to burn. I didnt have it during the veg cycle, which is why they are so small. Also it was thought balancing the pH. Thanks for the advice! 😊
Following 👽Ive been having some slow root growth with my pair of DD autos as well ( a bit over 3 weeks in) First time grow here though so im sure ive tripped over several factors resulting in some stunted gals. Hoping to start adding some light nutes with the next watering though and see some turn around
Best wishes on your grow ✌️
@Shakedown92,
Ey'
Ya I was expecting a much better grow, but it turns out my pH was to low and the reservoir water was too low to promote healthy root growth. I was hoping the new light and cleaning/sanitizing the reservoir would work and it did. They're both flowering now.
Hope you figure out what's wrong.
Good luck! 👽✌️🏾
