Week 3 update - now this is the kind of growth that I expected with a hydro setup. Why the results are markedly varied and different with the other 2 plants is anyone’s guess 🤷♂️. The difference over the last 7 days is remarkable. Only at the start of week 3 and we’re already topping ‘er for the mainline. The root mass is white as snow and she’s super happy. We’re doing away with the Hydroguard and sticking with the straight H202 on the next change. The 2 should be essentially cancelling each other out and I’m still not convinced on any specific reason for our root rot issues from the past. We’ll top up only the next few days while she’s Recovering. We’ve started the mainline and can’t wait to see what the next couple weeks brings with growth👍. All extremely well friends - I’m gonna smoke a fatty In ‘er honour tonight😎🤟
Feb. 22 - and yet another lesson has been learned, despite how stupid the cause is believed to be - light leaks from the cheap translucent airlines for the stones is why the other 2 have suffered while this one has flourished. Like a constant flashlight inside the res. Whereas the BLACK airline for the stones in this bucket is keeping everything nice and dark. As if I didn’t foresee or give this any thought when we bought the new air pump. Unbelievable and has cost this cycle another 3 weeks of veg. Not giving up and newly popped beans will follow On the other diaries. Apologies to anyone watching but the wait will be a little longer me thinks. On the flip side we should have a massive yield on this one if all goes to plan.
Feb. 24 update - first topping went very well and she’s back on the grow pushing out the 2 new mains. Should be starting some LST in short order to build out the mainline👍😎.
Background
Finally got the cabinet on empty and ready for the new grow. This cycle we’ll be running all hydro with 3 different strains. Finally managed to troubleshoot and stabilize the res. with the last plant so this will be the measuring stick run for truly jacking out the nute mixture (and hopefully the yield too). This one is from the folks at Humboldt and particularly interesting in terms of genetics. An indica dominant cross of Girl Scout Cookies and True OG. She should be a heavy hitter and expect we’ll mainline ‘er to full effect as best as possible. Can’t say enough about this seed co. - the last run of their 707 was phenomenal as an outdoor and is now a go-to sativa in the ever-expanding selection😉. Thanks as always for stopp’n in and check’n it out👊. She is not expected to disappoint👍.
@WildeWeed, no doubt dude. It’s gonna be hard to go back to any other method after this grow. This plant is gonna easily contend for my biggest and best indoor grow ever👌🤙👍😎. Saw urs too - no slouch there either eh👍
The key to a healthy plant is in the roots 👌
That's a crazy looking rootmass and that central stem is HUGE 🤗
Defintely could hold some weight when the time comes 👍
Well done!
With love from Humboldt County✌️
Kind regards

@TheBudWhisperer, Thank you for the kind words and positive feedback my friend 🙏

Kind regards ✌️

@Humboldt_Seed_Organisation, truer words never spoken. Thanks for the support and yes indeed - she gonna hold some serious weight in short order👍. Fantastic beans u guys have👌
@TheBudWhisperer,
Oh yeah. Your well aware of my venture into this stuff. Lol. It seems we’re both starting to get it a little better dialed in for sure.
Fan and practitioner of realtime dumbassedness and stoned diatribes right here ✋I appreciate an honest journal - way more informative and entertaining 👍Looking forward to seeing the end result.
@stunflower, thanks for the kind words! Hydros proven a whore of a challenge recently. But all’s well and I gotta stop gett’n stoned before work’n on the girls! 😂👊
@mr_h_kovert, cheers Mr. Kovert! I’m hoping so indeed. Got a great plant in coco for this side-by-side throughout the grow so we all might learn something👍. If not, I’m still gonna end up ripped anyway🤘. What a great hobby 😂
With that vertical stretch now over we can clearly see that all focus is now on bud/flower production 🤗
Loving your work so far my friend 👌
Keep it up and please stay safe out there 🙏
Kind regards ✌️

@TheBudWhisperer, Great genetics create great plants but to show the world what our genetics can do, we need growers such as yourself 🙏
Really, beautiful work 🤗
Don't forget the pre harvest update 👊
Stay safe my friend 🙏
Kind regards ✌️
Team-HSO..
Not to much longer for this beautiful looking plant 👍
Another 7 days at most and it'll be harvest time 🤗
Not long now 🙏
Stay safe out there 😷
Kind regards ✌️

@Wicked_Stix, cheers buddy! BTW - got some clones on the go right now and you weren’t kidding. The maxi line is proving its worth. Half the price of my usual nutes and easily gonna last twice as long. I’m a still a little shocked that u can get that much value. Proof that nutes are over marketed and overpriced by a huge margin...🙄. Thanks again for the intel👊
@Lebowski, careful there buddy! Once you try it you might never go back😉. But it is truly an amazing way to grow. I’m now converted for sure (at least for indoor).👍😎👊
