For those wondering what the Kiss method is it means Keep it simple stupid.
Started these in a bubble cloner almost 2 weeks ago. 5 days to show roots another 3 days till they were ready to plant.
Been planted about 5 days have grown 3 inches so far.
I have used many nutes in my years of growing. I have settled on floranova grow for veg. It is a one part formula, very simple to use. If you have a ppm monitor or tester, you just shake the shit out of the bottle and pour into your reservoir until you reach the ppm you want to achieve. I just ordered and received floranova bloom and a jug of Massive bloom formulation for the flowering plants. Also very simple. I use to use canna terra.flores for flower but it is way to weak for the price. The floranova series will give you the biggest bang for the buck. With the floranova grow I have never had any problems at all in my vegging plants and the growth is faster than just about every other nute out there. This is why imstay with this lineup
Wow. Girls want to be big. Much faster growth from clone than the seeds. Grew up 10 inches in a week and there only in veg mode.
June 17th Girls are growing so fast.
3 weeks done, girls are ready to be turned but I have 4 weeks minimum before they can be brought home to flower. Seen the girls wanting much more in flower so I gave these clones a feed at 2.0 ec and they are loving it. Hmm!
Girls just finished their stretch. Button size buds forming, gave them a feed last night at 2.0 ec 1000ppm, 5.9 ph going in and 5.9 ph coming out. Their looking good so far. Growing in less humidity than normal but I cant avoid that at the moment.
This is what your roots should look like if your growing hydroponics in DWC or RDWC, if you do it properly. I found it to be a lot of work even with the chiller, cleaning the buckets out once every week or 2. Any products available now to keep things clean? Without harming plants
Nice roots mate, Flying Skulls Z7 is a enzyme cleaner it's organic too, I'm currently using it in dwc, 0.5 ml/gal, I add it mid week too as a top up in-between changes, using it along side plant success orca at the same dilution rate.
Girls are growing nicely.
Fed the girls their first flowering nutes this morning.
Fed floranova bloom at 500 ppm 1.0 ec and massive bloom formulation at 200 ppm 0.4 ec for a total of 700 ppm 1.4 ec.
PH going in was 6.1 runoff 6.0
Ec was 1.4, 700 ppm going in and runoff was at 1000 ppm 2.0 ec coming out.
Week 3 of flowering and the girls are coming along nicely. One girl didnt like the heavy feed as much as the other 3 but it wasn't overboard for this strain so she a little shiny but doing nicely still. No water of feed to mention ppm and ec at the moment.
Buds are coming along nicely. Not much news to tell.
July 27th
Girls got a feed at 1.5 ec 750 ppm at 6.3 ph today. Company so girls are a little neglected right now but not complaining to much.
Runoff ph was 6.1 and the ec was 1.6,,, 800 ppm coming out. Girls want more food, signs are there but im not to worried seeing as I knòw I haven't overfed. May up their feed next week for a week.
July 30th
Company for the next few weeks. Girls arent getting much care right now but the buds are popping like crazy. Busy time of year on the water. Everyone wants to be here.
Coming along. Cmh are a week behind the others. But they are surpassing the MH and HPS. Not surprised, Cmh throws a great spectrum.
Aug 4th
Girls got a feed at 750 ppm 1.5 ec, ph going in was 6.3 ph coming out was 6.1 ph
Ec in the runoff was 780ppm
Had to move the cmh grow over to the hps to give me a place to dry. Company coming....
Girl that were under cmh have surpassed the others and their a week behind.
Uploads taking forever so this is all the pics for now.
Running 0 ec now for flush. Right side ready next Saturday and left side the next Saturday. Some nice big nugs for being clones and neglected due to all the company the last month.
Four plants down last night, the remaining plants are the girls I started under the CMH 630 WATTS. They were started a week later than the HID lighting and are literally twice the thickness and these are also rock hard nuggies. Going to be a big harvest next Saturday. Just as big but harder nugs than RDWC system I use to use. Replacing all my lights to CMH when I can afford to.
These girls are also twice the stinky skunk smell of the first diary. This run of clones is out doing there mothers, but this run was dialed in a little better during their 3rd, 4th, and 5th, week of 12/12, which is the most vigorous flowering time. Company arrived after that and when I through my back out, the girls became a little neglected. All in all these girls are rocking my world and changing my mind to CMH lighting instead.,amazing spectrum the bulbs last 2 years with very little power loss and the units are very affordable. Cant believe I was just using the CMH for vegging all this time. Man was I stupid. Cheers friends
Done under cmh lighting these girls are very strong. Kind of felt I'll well trimming after 5 or 6 hours from the smell and resin on my hands. Cant wait to try. Under the 1000 watt hid, still very strong, but there is a definate difference from the cmh, bigger bud and more stickier triclomes. Ended up with almost an ounce of finger hash. 1 hit of that and woah!
Total harvest wet weight was 248 ounces. 4 plants taken last week were 6 lbs wet 24 ounces dry.
Yesterday's take was 9 1/2 lbs. wet from this weeks take. Waiting to dry now.
In case anyone looks at my lighting, I dont run the HID lighting in early veg, I run the cmd 315w about 2 1/2 feet above my ladies in a home made 4x4 tent 9 feet high until I move them to the 6x8 foot area. That's when the HID lighting gets utilized.
@GMSgrows,
KISS about where I’m at I got my soil medium PH ballanced and every thing is simple And I leav my plants alone feed just enough to avoid deficiency proper flushing for root maintnance and Flawless Finish last week for the win
June 4th, I upped nutes to 700 ppm 1.4 ec. Girls are growing fast. Watching stems of leaves to tell if they want more. Probably go to 800 ppm 1.6 ec after there next bout of water.
June 2nd. Transplanted 3 girls to 5 gallon pots, looking good this morning.
Need to pick up another bag of Nutrimix HP to get the other lady into her new home.
@GMSgrows, Now that sounds like a luxury, i was researching disappearing strains and found one that is called "Kalamata Red" from Greece, a heirloom sativa that grows in rocky hot areas in Kalamata. A family was protecting and breeding the strain for 25 years in order for the strain to not go extinct(since cannabis is considered a gateway drug in greece :( ), the population in the area was very aggressive, so much so that they would escort you BACK out of the village with guns and heavy shouting, they made it very unwelcome for people who were just stranded since the village was secluded and too far away.
With such a legacy, one of the organisations that are trying to preserve the original strains (before people started to cross), they sell it only if you email them, and bags of 11-12 normal seeds for 100 euros. I am not experienced enough to be able to grab that deal, i dont even have enough space to do a fem hunt or breed or clone and keep a mother etc. Plus the situation with the legalities is also a bit strange, which would make the whole deal even more stressful, especially for a new grower..
@DreamCatcher, lol I have been doing this indoors over 30 years and 12 years outdoors before I started growing indoors. I'm looking to get pot of gold from amsterdam seed co. Spose to be most potent and old school taste in the world. 200 Canadian for 10 seeds
very nice, I see you started from clones.
My next grow I will be trying photoperiod rather than auto's just for that reason
Do you have better success with clones over seeds?
Also thanks for the response to my question.
I would be interested in checking out the water chiller or cooler that you mentioned you have. I am in Edmonton👊
@GMSgrows, hey thanks not a problem.
I used the idea and Bought a used water cooler for $45 hot was broken but cold works perfectly.
Converted it last night and have it running.
looks like it is going to work perfectly.😎
@Smokeyboar, my plants are all photos. I dislike autos for the tastes and never know if it's going to be a waste of time or not. That said, I start and finish my plants in 20 litre pots. When clones are ready they go right into their final home. Not into transplanting to bigger pots as they grow. I am not into shocking the girls 2 or 3 times. That just slows your grow. Cheers bro
@Mrs_Larimar, just kept the 2 weeks of stretch set as veg. Not actually in flower till they flower. First time using floranova bloom as well. I'll stick with these nutes. Great flavour in the final product. Thanks and Cheers friend
@Wicked_Stix, us gentlemen always try to keep our girls happy. Giving this run higher higher nutes then I usually give my girls. Second run,trying to find their sweet spot. Thnx for the kind words my friend. Cheers
Yes they are huge :D My 4 first weeks are unaccounted for because i had "whish" lights and my container was waterlogged :P but thats my learning curve <3
@DreamCatcher, you babies look good as well. You got the know how. I just hate seeing people answer questions telling the guy high ppm is ok. He hasn't a clue to what he is doing and he brings others failure as well. Cheers my friend
OMG, that is some serious sized cola. (Either that, or you have tinie tiny hands, 🤣🤣🤣, only joking, but man. Wow. Seriously are you injecting steds into them. I just can't believe my eyes.
Am doing the kiss method now myself. As my last 2c rounds, I messed about with 14dif nutrients which was just silly tbh. Now, I'm using 2 at max, and man, I'm bored lol. (Nah but it's allowed me to put that time making many different bottles, and even then, I always messed up and gave the plant the wrong stuff, now, I'm able to apply much more love and LST) just wish I did this on my 1st round. Was sucked into the yolk new growers can find themselves, bought by looking at shiny bottles and big words 🤣🤣🤣.
Love your method. Looks like my next few hrs will be busy stalking your diaries.
@GMSgrows, thats what I could see. They looked lovely and dense. Got my 1st rock hard buds on my DWC. only little things now but A grade nonetheless.. Good luck with future grows bud.
@DreamCatcher, Hi DC. I use to grow RDWC so I bought a monitor instead. I use the Growboss by Nutradip. I have changed the ph probe 3 times in 4 years, the ec probe is just needing replacement now as my temps are not reading correct. You can use any probe that has a BNC connector with it, just have to calibrate it. Little pricey 300 bucks in canada cheaper in the states but this unit is my or any growers most needed tool for successful grows. It's all large green digital readout, any scale you want to use, I use 5 scale which is 500 ppm = 1.0 ec, theres also 7 scale 700 ppm = 1.0ec or just set it to read ec. The ph probes in Canada are about 60 bucks for a good name, and the ec probe is about 50 bucks. Keep the ph probe wet and clean and they will last a long time, longer than the pens.
