start of week 2 veg,
i put an aquarium heater in my res to keep the temp 21 celcius
also added an extra airpump in the res with the waterpump
roots are already in the water
i used CFL so far i might hang my led above them now
start of week 4: i cut off the fanleaves to give the stems light.
a day after that there is still water drooping out of the cuts like it doesnt heal ?
weird.
it has been a bit cold at night, the humidity also swings a lot but they grow, when the lights go out leaves curl up like they are freezing.
the video here is when the lights have been on for 8hours already, when they in the dark they look dead lol
march 2:
start of week 5
room temp is now 25celcius and plants no longer curl. veg got slowed down a lot finally they got healthy now
march 7: changed water to lucas formula (0-8-16)
also added 1ml/L H2o2
after 3 days again.
to stop algae forming around the hoses and the rubber rings around the pipes.
took out 8 litres out of the system and added 8litres rainwater.
also added extra airpump (each plant has now 2 airstones)
plants seem to grow at normal speed now. another week before they go in flower.
day 15: flowers start to appear
day 16-17: temps go 24 celcius, i throw ice bottles in the res
day 25: insane stretch stops flowers fatten up, even crystals around the young budz.
why are my buds so small ? i grew this before in soil and was so mich bigger.. in hydro this should be way bigger. i use lucas formula 8ml micro 16ml bloom per gallon. whats the problem or is this normal ??
Hello.. Hope you are well.. Ive just looked thru ur dairy and noticed ur only actually in wk 5 of flower.. Critical has an 8wk flower period so u still av 3 wks left at least id presume.. Ur buds look healthy and have white pistels all over still.. Active feeding systems can b a bit tricky compared to soil but ur doin great for 1st time.. Carry on with ur feed program and start increasing over being careful not to overfeed.. Last few wks in active hydro really do make ur plants put on weight and continuing to fill out.. Gud luck n stay safe.. 👍
start of week 6. (day 36).
i am not sure how far my plant is in flower right now. she looks like week 4 now but shes in flower since march 12 (today is may 4th) i noticed she kept growing the first weeks of 12/12 but here she is now, huge and bushy but looks like a week 4 or 5 of flower here... gues ill have to flower her at least another 3 weeks from now.
as u see in the video, the smallest plant doesnt have too much yield, thats because i cut of so many undergrowth (stems and leaves) during the third week of flower) this plant was already in a very bad shape before flower. how she looks now is unbelievable compare here here and watch the pics of week 5 vegetation.
i flushed the system this morning untill this evening ( in the 12h dark period they run straight rainwater) and when the lights turned back on tonnight i added the nutrients at 820ppm (0.5 convertion)
i hope she will now get more explosive as i had 250 grams dried but last time i grew this on soil (2 plants, this diary is on here too “critical”) these were grown under the same light in soil, finished quicker and had more yield (as of now)
anyway lets see what happens the next weeks.
may 8 (day 39)
defoliation, not too much just big fanleaves from the top of the cannopy and underneath the net, more light reaches budsites now
