2020-06-21 DAY 1 of flower! New week, new nutrient schedule, I kept the PPMs high and changed the ratio. I've tried to keep the 2nd plant on the same nutrient schedule but I had to dilute it within 24 hours because PPM was rising. It seems to have stabilized now. Starting EC = 2.0/1.8 and ppm= 930/880 and pH = 6.0. Added a new dehumidifier but it's totally raising the tent temperature almost 4 degrees F!!! I am in the process of setting up my recirculating system so I can take soon put the reservoir/dehumidifer outside in the same closet, just gotta take out the mini fridge. 2020-06-23 The girls are drinking like crazy! They are drinking much faster than normal so I am topping up with 1.1 mL/L calimagic instead as they still have a ton of food! pH still sinks from 6.0 to 5.5 over the course of 4 days or so but that seems normal for my setup. Threw up a video so you can get more perspective! I now have 3 different dehumidifiers running. There's a small 500 mL one inside the tent which raises temp about 2 degrees F at all times. I have a compressor dehumidifier outside the closet pulling in litres of water a day. I also have a big AC unit with a dehumidifier function that is draining into a 5 gallon pail. I am pulling GALLONS of water out of the air in this room and i've had to close the door to maintain it. Sorry, roommate! No AC unit for you. I had to do some SUPER CROPPING and bend some of the main stems down on plant 01. It was growing way too quickly in the last 2 weeks. I'm hoping the change in nutrients will promote flowering instead of such rapid height!! 2020-06-27 I keep having to super crop, the plant is so damn resilient, it fixes itself in 1-2 days!! What the hell!! I have reduced the feed going forward for next week. 1000 ppm was too high, I ended up having to top up with fresh water + calimagic almost every single day because it was drinking far too quickly. I will lower to 800 ppm for next week but maintain the same ratio. Root system is looking ROBUST on both plants!

Hi all, just wondering what everyone's personal preference is on this topic. I've tried directly into rockwool and went 6/8 and 2/4 with the duds never opening/showing tap root. Used minimal nutrient/pH'd water and treated rockwool properly.

My tent is 74-75 degrees but so is my water! I have a beneficial bacteria product with a surfactant that should inhibit algae/bad bacteria. I am running air from inside a small fridge but I think my tubes are too long. How do you cool your system? See my diary for pics.

Hi! From what I understand that is quite optimal water temp when beneficial bacteria is present. My reservoir temps are maybe 21-23C and no problem at all!

Hi everyone. My net pots are in 5 gallon buckets, sitting so the bottom 2-3" of clay pellets are submerged. The seeds were sprouted in rockwool. Is this the right water level? When do I start dropping it to promote root growth?

i can't see where the bottom of the netcup is in your pictures, however in my DWC setup, i keep the water at a point where they just do not touch the netcups (barely).. the airstone will create the bubbles that splash some water to the bottom of the netcup to ensure that the rockwool gets wetted, so the root will not dry out, but aren't overly wet (i.e by touching the water).. that's how i keep it from seed to finish (obviously after a short while the roots will dangle into the water, and will then start using up nutrient solution, but when i refill the reservoir, the maximum is just below the netcup)

Will painting the tops of my net pots white or coating with aluminum tape reduce the temperature inside the buckets? Thanks!

Hello.. Hope you are well.. It mite in the first few wks as ur plants do not yet produce a canopy to shade ur resivour..pei always cover my tank with sumthin reflective like black out and also try to keep as much light off my res tank.. This will obviously help.. But by how much depends on ur individual rooms parameters.. Stay safe n gud luck.. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ€

Hi all, my plant pictured here just went through its first root explosion and is now dipping into the water at multiple points. EC = 1.0 and ppm (0.5) = 490. Does this look like nutrient burn? Using Flora series with CaliMagic.

Hello.. Hope you are well.. I just had a quick look at ur dairy n noticed ur pretty much spot on with everythin.. I know ur room temp n water is a wee bit high but dont worry too much, she is growing and coping ok so she's half way their!.. The damage on leaves are most likely to be from transplant.. I can only see damage on those central tips and 1's below so wudnt worry .. New growth looks great.. Stay safe n gud luck.. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ€

I've attached the first few days of measurements since the roots hit the water. I take measurements every 24 hours and the backslash separates bucket 1/2. Does it looks like I need to top up already or should I wait for a more dramatic change? Thanks everyone!

"Optimal nutrient absorption varies for each major nutrient that cannabis plants require. The optimal pH for absorption is much more variable in hydroponics than it is in soil. If you allow for a range between 5.5 to 6.5 instead of always adjusting to the exact same number, you will allow for greater absorption across the board." "Make a mix in a separate container first then add that to your reservoir so that changes take place slowly. Remember that pH drift is not only normal, itโ€™s desirable. Allow the pH in your reservoir to change gradually, but make sure you keep within the range of 5.5 to 6.5." Don't target 5.8... You'll have much more success if you let the ph swing.. "I am of the studied opinion, full pH swing grown cannabis is vastly superior in quality to steady pH (buffered) grown cannabis. In my experience the last decade, high transpiration, a full and healthy pH swing in the root zone and a balanced nutrient profile are integrated keys to growing low nutrient strength, superior quality cannabis. My goal is to share the insights I've gained, so your hydro experience is both simplified and extraordinary. I urge anyone interested in growing a higher quality of cannabis to read it completely."

Hi all, I adjusted LST tension this morning and the entire growth tip snapped off. It was too small/fragile to tape so I put in rooting hormone solution and tried making a clone. What should I do with this plant now? Feeling discouraged.

Hi all. Just migrated plants to new tent/fan. I have much better environmental conditions. Now I have these leaf spots. I've included recent measurements. I was going light on the CaliMagic using 1/2 tsp per gallon. Is that my issue? Roots look good. Thanks everyone!

I might have a springtail "infection". Can I get some additional eyes on these? Sorry, I don't have a microscope. Tiny, white jumping specks. My googling tells me that they are "springtails" and supposedly harmless or even beneficial. Thoughts?

they look like springtails, they are harmless, but id be changing it out anyway. They will possibly also be in amongst the roots so don't be too surprised if more appear.

I'm in week 7. Should I start flushing now? The mature/fattest buds seem to be at about 50% converted to orange hairs which are just starting to curl in. Trichomes are milky but not turning brown/amber yet. Please take a look at the most recent pics to form an opinion!

Hey Pal, a good Bloom Stage has minimum 8 weeks. So if you are not in a hurry, give her this 8 weeks,or until 20% of your Trichs turn amber. To me, it's the best smoke... You want more sedative? Then go for 50-60% amber Trichomes. For a day smoke and more of a head high than a stoned, then start to flush and harvest next week. Hope this helps a bit, good luck and happy trails for the rest of the way.! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค˜ OimRausch

@Hoodoo, It's just as good just not as energy efficient but still very efficient... You can grow Better then commercial Quality ;) the commercial growers have no love or care it's all mass produced poorly..

@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity, I was just stoked that it was in my price range. I was going to really set myself back with a purchase of a Spider Farmer or Mars Hydro SP250 so this 'economy' model was perfect. The giant heat sink is awesome, the tent is warmer but the LEDs are perfectly fine! The dimmer is in a very accessible location as well compared to many other drivers I have seen. Very, very happy so far and I know I will be able to grow commercial quality nugs!!

Looking good! My advice, if you have 50% cloudy trichomes, you can harvest. ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿ’š๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿ”ฅ

@Hoodoo, translucent trichomes without a bulbous head are immature, if they have a mushroom head, like the cloudy trichomes, they have matured enough that you can harvest. This is based on reading one of Jorge Cervantes books.

@CanadianFillmore, why do you say that? I've never heard that before, the translucent ones are immature. I think I am at ~95% cloudy and I am starting to see some amber. I will be updating in a few days.

She looks pretty good like she is flipping around. You took off a bit too much for the topping. It's okay for your first hair cut but you should just cut the top growth node off not the whole top ๐Ÿ˜ looks good though๐Ÿ‘

@Hoodoo, Oh hell yea they will totally bounce back. Honestly if you feel like your doing it correctly and are following a guide that's a lot better information then I could provide as mine would just opinion based. It's a terrible thing sometimes that as a more experienced grower I look at what newer folks have done and I worry but truly I have been wrong and pleasantly surprised before. So easy to step back and be like this is something different then I what I do.. It's not wrong it's just Different good job sir and way to approach this intelligently.

@DeadwebsiteBoringcommunity,I was following Nebula's mainlining guide! If you have a different guide/technique then please let me know. I went from 5 nodes down to 3rd node. The smaller seedling was like.. 90% finished making its 5th node, that's why the growth tips I left are a little undersized but I expect them to start booming soon!
