This grow definitely had its challenges. This was my first DWC project which got off to a slow start due to weak lighting. Once the problem was corrected she seemed to get over it and then grew nicely for a while. The stresses early on caused her to stretch really hard... to the point where I couldn't raise my lights any higher. I started to tie her down in a panic to try and keep it under control, but she kept reaching for the light. After several days with the lower canopy choked out from light and the upper canopy burning from being too close, she wasn't doing so good. The sugar leaf in the upper colas was dry and brittle and the top of some of the buds were turning white. I took her down today in an effort to get the most I can without compromising the quality any further. It is definitely premature, the majority of the pistils were all still white and standing up straight.. it kind of just smells like fresh vegetation, no real canna smell unless I handle the buds. I take full responsibility for the outcome of this grow... it was a learning experience. In no way would I ever try to blame the genetics for my end result. In fact, I have 9 more of these beans and can't wait to have another shot at it! I see the potential for some really top quality buds.

Overall this was a good learning experience. I wouldn't say it's scared me away from DWC but I want to educate some more before I make this my go to method. For now, I have three other DWC projects to deal with that I started before this one went off the rails. I'm going to get through them best I can, but the seeds I germinated today will be coco plants... I'll go back to what I know until I feel I'm ready. Ended up with 238g wet bud weight and 66g of popcorn... still a decent sized harvest under the circumstances. I'll update more over the next few days once she has dried a bit and I try some to see if it has any potency to it. Well, end result was 90g of small buds and popcorn... I just threw it all together this time, there wasn't much difference in size. Didn't get a proper flush so it's giving up black ash when smoked and it's a bitch to keep lit... not really harsh, but not smooth. Thankfully, It does have some potency.

If you get root rot then she would look like you overwatered her and she looks awesome.

@Tazard, I can tell, and I want to be too! I just need to experiment a bit til I'm comfortable, I'm sure with the guidance of yourself and my GD fam it'll be my preferred method soon enough.

Thanks @Tazard, That's just me being critical again lol. I've had a lot of doubt throughout this grow, but she's doing good and I'm confident will provide lots of nice flowers. I saw those dusty roots and freaked a bit. All good now.

I was kinda thinking the same. I think it’s the nutrient solution. I’m usually as follows w1 450 w2 525 w3 625 w4 675 w5 725 w6 775 tds. I also noticed that you use co2 and was wondering if you had enough light? Nodes are kinda wide.

@Squirrel_Master, I understand. I have an auto should be done this week and it’s not made budlets yet. Another one that should be done next week and no budlets. I have 2week old seedlings waiting on the space.

@Tazard, light has been a big issue for this one. I had too much going on in my tent and she suffered for it. Now that the Gorilla Glue is gone I have the room to have the Cali Snow elevated and getting much better light now.

Have a dig around the bottom of buds I've just had a massive crop half ruined by one going herm and pollinating the rest. Buds grew slow and Not very frosty. Luckily it wasn't full of seeds so still smokeable but I couldn't tell until I chopped one
Squirrel_Master
Squirrel_Master
@SlimJamie, Just took a inside look at one of the lower buds... No sign of a sex change. Unfortunately, looks like she's getting the chop today.. her condition has gotten worse overnight and I don't want to risk ruining what little I may get from it.

Looks fine! Still young. Don’t worry too much, but stay vigilant - DWC grows more flowers and faster than soil. Undeniable - DWC demands daily attention, multiple times a day. Typically - DWC has a smaller window of acceptable grow conditions than soil. Undeniable If I had more time to devote to my garden maybe I’d DWC again. But I’m a soil man because I can ignore it and still get a great harvest. Though I inject air to soil, so the method is a hybrid. Growth rate is between static soil and hydro

@growdoctordc, Might be too late, woke up this morning to the underside of the plant all wilted and dying, and the top is even more burnt and wilted than yesterday. Think I'm gonna call it a day with this one before anymore damage is done. I was doing great with coco, think I'm gonna go back to it full time. The DWC is nice if you have the time to devote to it, and can be on top of things when they go wrong. I missed the bus on this one, gonna chalk it up to experience and move on to the next project.
