She's ripe for flowering, so flipped the switch to start the process. So far this project has been very rewarding and I've learned so much, I'm really looking forward to the coming weeks!
@Joint, just a cheapy 60x clip microscope on an S5 phone haha. I think it was $7 on amazon. I have to zoom in slightly on the phone to get rid of most of the black border but it works well so far!
She's coming together very nicely buddy. Absolutely beautiful :D
I'm excited to see how she develops in the coming weeks through her flower. These are looking to be really fantastic buddy. Best wishes growing. Cheers!
@Mousey, You've done very well and your effort definitely shows in this grow in regards to your research. You've obviously been studying the right information :D
@DabCrab, thank you so much! I'm still amazed I haven't blundered worse up to this point. Glad I did my research before I jumped in, for sure! I also think I got lucky with genetics, considering this is years-old bagseed from an acquaintance, haha. So far this plant has been very forgiving of my clumsy inexperience ^_^
Hi my friend. Your plants are looking great. I have a problem and I need comments from friends with experiences.
I'm feeling that my buds are so small, maybe they're not but I think like that. The feathers have started to turn into.brown and I think the harvest time will come after 15 days.
Will the buds continue growing up at that time? For the last, can you say anything abou the harvest time? I have added a video to my diary today.
Best regards. ๐ค๐
@Mousey,yes it looks likes she is going to deliver. But normally i would put 4 plants in my tent. But now this one is taking double the time to finish so my next grow has to wait. I hope she will deliver the same amount as 4 would do. Or come close
@Bluesbreeder, I'm glad they sent you some bonus seeds! At least a slightly longer veg time generally leads to more yields, right? Good luck with her! :)
@Mousey,well cheers to you ๐ i'm doing my first grow under Led light and am growing a Auto Ultimate! turns out its a regular ultimate so i had to put her on 12/12 regime to get it flowering. so i hope it will be a big yield also. because i lost so much time in Veg state. but dutch passion was very kind to send me some seeds to compensate this mistake .
@Mousey,no problem mate yeah it seems to do that at times and sometimes shows me double messages ๐๐but you got some amazing looking buds hope the taste is as good look ๐๐
@islandgrows89, thank you! It was a great learning experience, figured if I was diligent enough that hydro would be cleaner/easier in the space I'm working with. Turned the WF into a modified DWC once roots were well established in the water. Paid off!
Good job, I grew 2 OG kush auto 1 was almost perfect, the other epic fail lol. Your girls seem happy though and I know that you'll appreciate all of your hard work in the end..
So the air pump quit on me sometime since last night. I would have checked this morning but I hate messing around in there while lights are off. She's droopy and clearly pouting but I think I caught it in time. Thankful I thought to buy a spare though!
@BigDaddyK, I let her sit suspended in plain pH'ed water while I scrub out the main bucket with h202. when it's ready, I run that "rinse" water through to clean out the hydroton before refilling the res with nutrient water prepared in a 5 gallon bucket. I had just done a res change a couple of days prior to noticing all the floaties, so that easily could have been the culprit!
@BigDaddyK, thank you! Would that have caused the "shedding" root hairs into the reservoir? I got it hooked up to the spare pump as soon as I saw it, and that was about a week before I noticed the floaters. Roots are still white and the plant is acting normally
Hey man! nice grow. just a quick question, i am using the same nutes as you and im going on week 7. Is it right that you use 1 tsp per gallon meaning its 5 tsp per 5 gallons? sorry sounds kinda dumb for asking but just dont want to go through another nute burn. thanks man
@jhawk, also I see where the amounts in the pie chart above could be confusing, as I was too lazy to divide by 2. so the pie chart shows total nutes in a 2 gallon reservoir, not amount per gallon!
@jhawk, hi there! I go more by ppm than exact amounts, but with 1tsp = 5ml, that's a lot hotter than I run mine. My plant seems to do best between 900-1000ppm, and as that number falls through the week I'll add more nutes... say 2ml of micro, the next day 2ml of bloom, two days later a ml of calmag.... if ppms stay the same, or rise, I top off with pH'ed plain water. Res change/cleanout every week to prevent nasties and lockout. My res is approximately 2 gallons, but I definitely don't put as much as the label calls for. Half strength, maybe. Haven't had issues with it so far though!
