Lots of time has been lost due to both technical difficulties and environmental issues that I faced in the first 3 weeks. So the plants aren't where I had wanted them to be by now. However I've decided to let them veg for a further 3 weeks, not only to properly train the plants but to also allow for the most affected plants to adequately recover.
The plants are doing well. I'm going to wait until week 6 to do another intensive defoliation before flipping the switch. I've lost 2/3 weeks due to water quality, which I've since rectified with the installation of reverse osmosis and a 100w UV light. Otherwise we would already be into flower. We've had a few issues with the rooms from light issues, bug issues, temperature issues and humidity issues to try and address. But we are slowly getting the rooms under control.
The Gorrilla Zkittlez I've added in Atami High Porosity Coco have come along nicely and are in week 3 in Veg as well as the Blue Gelato 41 that I've grown from seed and is in an Organic Soil Mix.
Due to root issues and space, I decided to take out my 4 x Total Paralysis and 1 x 3 Blue King that were in DWC and plant them in 100L outdoor organic mixes and place them in my outdoor garden. I will be giving an update on them before the end of the indoor flower, as I intend on vegging them for 5 months outdoor to grow into proper monsters.
I ended up keeping 4 x Gorilla Zkittlez, 3 x 3 Blue Kings and 1 x Blue Gelato 41.
I defoliated them and lollipopped them all. As you can see the room looks empty now that there's only 8 plants in it and they've all had a hair cut.
The Gorrila Zkittlez are really starting to take shape nicely, however the Nitrogen toxicity has really stunted the bud development on the 3 Blue Kings and the Blue Gelato 41!
Awesome set up and thanks for including issues; it's the most valuable info and people leave it out. Love what your doing did you just swap your pots into larger totes? are you keeping it strictly bubleponicsDWC or are your going to like the totes and make it RDWC? keep it up, stay safe and be well!
@Complicate, thank you for the compliment! Yeah we actually went from a 60l tote down to a 45l tote because we were worried about having height issues late into flower. The room height is only 2550mm so we opted for the lower tote. Being our first DWC grow we got ahead of ourselves with wanting large roots.
We are running a very large air compressor to 6 x 8inch disc airstones for now, but in the future we are looking to adopt The Bucket Company's medical grade 3gal pots to do RDWC and throw in the airstones as well.
