GCS Green Crack First Grow / First DWC

Growers Choice Seeds - Green Crack Feminized No Nutrients, Just top feeding with 5.8 pH tap-water that i de-chlorinated using air-stones inside a closed and vented 55-gal drum

Growers Choice Seeds - Green Crack Feminized 5-Gal DWC Bucket Nutrients were started on 2/14

I maintained the water level, or tried to, at roughly .5-1.0cm above the bottom of the net pot.

Started LST and Topping

Continued topping, LST and some Defoliation to get the plant to concentrate on growing the main branches and not starting and using energy for new branches

No topping or defoliation this week. Continuing to LST, branches are very thick and strong, the plant continues to lift out of its LST, this is my first DWC and im learning how to keep the branches down without breaking them, its proving to be difficult, I want to try duct tape but i down want the residual adhesive residue on the lid when i one day go to remove the tape

So, the watering hasn't been discussed by me for what I'm doing with the DWC. So its first nutrient solution lasted two weeks. the second nutrient solution was between 1-1/2 weeks. On 3/17 i cleaned out the DWC bucket and all its parts before adding a new solution and placing the plant back into the DWC bucket, and i only did this because i watered through the top the first time i added nutrient solution and some rock dust got inside the bucket, wasn't hurting anything i just wanted to clean it to prevent any unforeseen issues

Last Week of Vegetation

New Tent, 5'x5', New Light Mars Hydro TS 3000

4/14, Defoliated today, the fan leaves are blocking more and more bud sites each day. Im trying to remove the fan leaves i can without hurting my future yield while im also attempting to continue tucking branches under the scrog net....4/17, defoliate again, each day I try to tuck branches under and away from center

Defoliating and continuing to try and tuck branches under the net and away from the center.

I won't be doing anymore defoliation after this, also i can't keep moving branches, they are stiff. Lighter added 5/1

Healthy and growing fast

Buds coming in nicely

Added liquid karma, it’s sucking down water faster than I could ever imagine so I’m trying to keep its stress down

It’s a monster

So close to harvest time
