So prob we do some things fault, but we all here to learn, also we would love to care for a bunch of plants and hope to get some nice harvest from it.
Were also germinating some Pumpkins, Cucumber, Sunflowers, Peppers, Tomatos and others to plant outside in the garden.

Dear Growdiary,
Yaay,😁 Gils have been born. 3rd one is a Chocolate Haze, we take care of for now.
Will be a surprise to a friend, for sure he will be happy with it 👍
We begin this grow without any professional gear, only what we got from local shops,
need to build a growbox and get the right equipment like vents, light, pumps, etc.

Dear Growdiary,
Still looking for the right growlight.
looking at review video's on youtube, dunno what look for yet.
So after getting Hy-Pro A+B as a gift and a sample of Voodoo Juice and B-52,
We decided to order full grandmaster advanced nutrients line up and give it a try.
Still using 40 watt light
Started to build germinatingbox, will be big enough for 1st half of veg stage.

Dear Growdiary,
Growth is reaching rim of the bucket even inside with roots.
Ok, so we found out about Mars Hydro Ts1000 lights, and we got it from amazon.
After getting those i found out many others are using the same lights here on growdiaries.
I think its a good newibie growlight, also pretty low in watts, its only 2 plants growing beneath it.

Dear Growdiary,
She is loving the new light, very nice progression, I keep all new growth away, so i only have 8 strong branches.
Its a small space, and its sharing it with my brothers Cheese.
My 1 grow question is, should i start bloom in week 9?
seed planted 1dec,
seedling on 7dec,
topped it end week 4,
got the better growlight at start week 7 (much to late, my fault)
Hello,
Is the DIY grow space her final container? If so then i would flip her here this week. If she's 11 inches now then the final height could be around 22 inches or more(or less). You'll want to make sure theres still a bit of room for you to maneuver in there and a decent distance from the light so she won't get burnt.
Happy flowering.✌️

Buds starting to swell a little bit more by the day👍
Check new pictures with CAT S60 Flir😎
Day 91:
I got some answers about the smelly drainwater,
so today we gonna flush the medium, we flushed with 6 Liters
fresh water till the smell disappeared.
Added 2 Liters with Sensizym and let the medium dry up till next feed.
Don't think the roots are rotten, probably the solution gets concentrated,
because we forgot to top up the bucket, and didn't drain the 20% last few weeks.
We shall see at the end of the road 👍 Thanks to all that responded🙏
Day 93:
Drainwater 120ppm @6.40Ph

After 2 day's of drying back in routine in full water,
no smell detected, no bad signs 👌
Hi, ✋
So I'm growing this Sweet 💀 Zombie in DWC in Coco.
All seems to fine I think 😕, but i'm wondering about the drainwater,
it start to smell like 😼piss, is it normal ?
Any other tips are welcome 👌,
Thank you all 🙏
It's not normal to smell piss without organic nutrients especially if the water input doesn't smell like piss. Could mean that you have some roots rot , the smell makes me think that your roots rot is more than a few days old. Someone mentioned hydroguard which is a good option. I would have had enzymes with the next feeding to break down the rotten roots or some hydrogen peroxide ( I'm not 100% sure about the last one so google search it to confirm ).
If it's a roots rot you'll need to find why your roots are not doing good.
You mentioned an homemade hydrobucket with coco medium in it and even if it's hard to believe : plants in coco medium an be overwatered which could lead to issues on the roots so maybe you should reduce tbd watering frequency and settle a dry/wet cycle

Any hints are welcome, 1 more week to go. Yes 👍
Vote for next germination, Big Bang or Blueberry. Can't choose 😅
Tell me who is your favorite Sub, ill go check them out, so many to visit.😕
Please keep safe and don't forget to drink your cannabis tea 😋
May the force be with U
I vote for Blueberry.
Great buds, and it can store for quite a while, as I have been dipping into my cured jars for over 8 months, and the potency and smell, are still there.

Harvest day,
Fine looking roots I think, seems there is no rot.
The green spots are from the light getting true bucket I assume.
372 magical wet grams😲😵😱
hey buddy...not too bad....not too good 😋 i mean on the first 3 pics we can clearly see some green parts ...sign that it was starting to form some algae.....ont the other layer it was really better ! do you use beneficials fungus/bacteria ?
if yes u have to improve your protocol.....
if not you can improve ur grow by better and healthier roots.....as a result better yield by using it more often
or with integrating some bioponics techs.... you can easily build diy of what we call a bio filter....a litle box, a pump lavarocks and/or other things fungus bacterias inside and you integrate it to the loop if it possible.....
that s being said...congrats dude ! you made a nice grow and a good build work 🙌 as a a result some nice buds 💪....we just can notice that your plants have suffered from the heat when we see their leaves curled on the sides and sawtooth .... maybe a little more extraction will be necessary with other plants less permissive.
happy growing
