Day 25: All looking good so far, plants looking healthy.
Day 28: Starting to get the overly green leaves as I did in my last grow with the Dos Si Dos. Starting to think it is due to the amount of nitrate based pH - I am using. Just ordered a RO filter.
Day 31: Had been starving the plants with 1EC as my tap is 0.6EC so I was only feeing them 0.4 EC so I have upped my EC to 1.3. This is probably what caused my deficiencies and a slight N overdose in my other grow. I have ordered an RO filter to remove the tap water from the equation. I have topped the plants to the first or second node and have started training to build manifold.
Also took cuttings from the topped plants and inserted them into rockwool cubes that are partly submerged in plain tap water. No clonex or any nutes in the water, the last batch I did like this all worked except one and that was due to keeping it in the tent out of the light and with no airflow which caused rotting. Now the days are longer they are sitting on my window sill.
Day 39: Plants are growing well except one that was a bit short to start with. I completely messed up two of the plants and snapped one of the branches during LST. I am just going to let these run now and quit with the manifold due to the damage.
Day 45: Plants are looking great, very green and growing well especially after my ham fisted training and snapping. Will defoliate down to the colas tomorrow.
Day 51: Still going well after my rough housing the plants, looks like I have a clear keeper developing, will have to see the final product though. Did a bit defoliation this week.
Day 66, Flower 7: Plants that I didn't damage are doing really well. I have gone a bit mad with the scissors and hacked off a bunch of branches and leaves to varying degrees so I can see how they do compared to each other.
Day 73
Flower 14
They are looking strong, well the ones I didn't damage. Having issues with heat and have got a little windburn on one of them but I am happy so far.
Day 51 of flower and I am going to drain the rez and start the flush. Plants seem healthy. For the last week I have not been topping off the rez so emptying it will be easier, EC has slowly risen during that time. On the next grow I will be using 50l of solution in the rez instead of 100l to see how they compare.
@freshwaterjellyfish, I would advise it, I have already had two rather large spills due to the pipes moving. Not a good scene, at least it was all contained in the spill sheet.
@Huggomadd, Thanks a lot. I have had issues with the other tent, primarily not enough CO2 as I haven't been running air exchange, I have made a fizz pot to create CO2 from Hydrochloric acid and limestone, which kick started the other tent. I also had issues with the roots getting tangled amongst them selves so have just started with 4 plants this time. I need to circulate the solution more too as I think the corners of the rez are getting stale. Now the sun is out I have moved four of the others outside.
