I am experimenting with fogponics; not going to go with just it the whole way. But I do want to veg at least halfway using fogponics. I am using a 6-head mistmaker, set on 15-min ON/OFF intervals. It does raise the rez temperature quite a bit. I do have a water chiller unit, but man electricity bill is gonna suck. So we'll see how it goes. My plan right now is to use Fogponics, up until the point where the roots have gotten long enough to reach the rez, I'll then convert to DWC. I initially soaked 2 seeds, but only 1 survived. So after waiting another 3 days I soaked and popped another seed. This one worked, and now I have 2. Let's call them Kate & Pippa. I've heard good things about DNA Seeds' Blood Orange Sorbet strain. My plan is to veg these 2 seedlings until they fill the entire tent. For this grow, I am taking a couple of lesson learnt from my previous grows: - If I'm going to change light during the grow, then I need to have the really heavy light already set up. So I'll just have to take out the smaller one underneath. - Have an at least semi automatic rez change & circulation mechanism. Thing is, when the plant is big enough, it becomes really difficult to mess with the rez directly - Have at least 2 netting. One of the bottom, one closer to the top colas to support the plant Well, everything is in place. So let's do this! EDIT: I am so SORRY the pictures are all really so very blurply. This 200W I have is all blurple, and the room's normal light is not working right now, and flash photography gives really sucky pics because the clingwrap reflects the flash.. As soon as I sort this out, I'll have better pictures.

Dear experts, could you help me ascertain whether the 4th and 5th picture on my Week4 diary is really heat stress? The only reason I think that is because of that slight cupping/curling of the leaf edges. Might there be other problems that could cause this?

Hi JKT48 I think you doing a amazing job so far. It really looks like slight heat Stress Or Light stress but don't think anything to worry you. You adjusted the lights all ready. So this should help. Only interesting thing is heath stress on 22 C day temperature. So possible slight light stress. Some strains occasionally have a tendency towards curly leaves more than others or sometimes odd traits. Hope this helps grow mate. And good luck with your grow.

The buds aren't fat at all. Considering my tent is 1x1 meter (~3x3 ft), how much yield do you guys think I could expect? It's just fun to play the guessing game.

Well my room is 1m x half m and I can get anywhere from 9 oz to 15 oz. but your not giving your plants enough nutrients from what I can see bro. Basic flower nutrients will not give you big yields you need bud boosts ect.

Something to think about, I used tubs like that and it allowed too much light into the roots, almost lost a set to root rot because of it.. ended up cutting keyholes in a sheet or orca wrap for the plants and covered the tops.. maybe 1% light gets in now.. no more root issues

@JKT48, dunno.. like i said, just an idea...

@DWCHC, certainly organic DWC would be a challenge. I'm looking forward to see your diary on it. Experiments like those are the best ways to learn!

@JKT48,adding fulvic acid as well can help, I just don't like the smell of aquariums.. lol. I tried organic hydro, and couldn't keep the microbes happy without huge amounts of time and inputs.. I'm considering trying an outdoor hydro, buried pails, with an actively aerated compost tea solution as a grow media... We'll see how time allows..

hey there JKT , well based on my understanding often times the downward pointing curling is more due to root problems , looks like you might have some because you're not using a chelation agent. You really want to start using something to break down nutrients in your solution for example beneficial bacteria like hydroguard (BS, BBassiana ) or even humic acid (turns your water black!) or dilluted flushing agent. These will break down the problem roots (should be brownish instead of full white. You could always cut some roots off too : never more than 20%. I see some signs of N toxicity, with those "too dark" green leafs, plus the fact you're not using micro nutrients like cal mag explains the discoloration on the serraded edges of the leafs. You probalby should be aware of this because oyu need to add cal mag (also spray it on twice a week) and might need to switch up the feeding regimen heading into flower. Hope this helps ! 🚀

@CRiSPrGrow, hey thanks so much for the comment dude, sorry I didn't spot this earlier. Notification on growdiaries is not working so great for me. Anyways, yes, as per your suggestion, I've started adding humic acid (man that powder is an annoying mess if I get it on anything), as well as cal mag (by using calcium nitrate and epsom salt). I'm gonna start adding MKP as well (KH2PO4, the chemical for of most bud boosters). Btw I love your diaries, I'm doing my first mushroom grow as well. The mycellium has almost fully collonized 4 of the 9 jars I injected spores with. The rest are kind of slow. Would love to talk with you about this when you get the chance.

Fogponics!? Thats so cool! Sorry it didn't work out tho. Do you feed the water a nutrient solution then? Plant still looks healthy!

@HiyaMaya, yes, I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time. And yes, I’ve heard about all the problems associated with it including the heat, but didn’t think it was to this extent. I do put in nutes to 400ppm. I also saw that (as many have pointed out), the ultrasonic disc does get a deposit on it. Easily cleaned up with a soft toothbrush. But that is the kind of maintenance I don’t want to have to do. I’ll have to think more about this system if I want to try this again.
