First week and started 4 bag seed. Lost 3 and started two more. Tried something different than my normal method but accidentally drowned them in rockwool (usually start with water then paper towel). The days will be roughly 4 days apart but I will mainly follow the first survivor unless he dies. Otherwise I'll switch to the other two. I have space for 3 RDWC plants but getting them to veg is my first goal. My system is more stable than the initial startup. This is my first grow diary so I'm sorry if anything comes up confusing.
This week was a little hot so theres a small bit of stretch but nothing to worry about. I fed them their first feeding this week so that should get them on the right track to setting their roots beyond the net cup for next week. I'll be transplanting them to their first temporary DWC bucket soon.
This week I transplanted everyone to the RDWC system. I have a pretty weak nute solution to help with letting the roots settle from any shock. The third seedling got stunted quite a bit but I'll just let it tag along since I have the open slot. Again you can see the stretch between nodes but now everything will have a much more controlled environment. Couple lessons learned but nothing fatal so far.
This week has been a little humid in the high 50s. I sprung a leak which I intend to rebuild the whole system from scratch and replace in a couple days... Should fix my humidity problem.
My main is exploding in growth with the light solution I still have in place (fresh change every 12 days in veg). Should see substantial growth when I bump the ppm to 800 from 280. I topped #1 and #2 at the 24 day mark, 5th node. Next week will be stronger nutes and more permanently fixed to the scrog.
WOW this week was a little more troubling. I changed the entire system with new buckets but had one really bad leak. Managed to fix it and move them over but I shocked #2 a little for a couple days. I smashed them all down with the screen so inadvertently supercropped #1 main stem. The PH has been at about 6.8 for two days but I'm slowly bringing that down. I may make an early res changs if it continues too much longer.
The foliage has a nice smell to it, no real signs of nute burn. Starting to see sex parts of plant so hopefully in about a week I'll know who is getting the snip.
This week the environment was great and no issues with plumbing which is a relief. The plants grew faster than I could keep up with, so much so that I had a accidental surprise topping session. The Scrog net put too much pressure on the main stem and snapped it... I lost about 5 tops on the main stem for #2 but every branch under it has now exploded as a result. #1 is still growing stupidly fast and is ready to transition to flower, I'll be switching all of them at once. This res change with have transition nutes for 10 days then will have full powered flower nutes following week.
Defoliated and switching the lights to 24h off then to 12/12
This is the moment of truth to see any males or hermies!
To my understanding, you don't begin counting the weeks of flower until the first sight of pistils correct?
The transition week is counted as a veg week?
I thibk the transition week counts as flowering week already, sometimes is hard to tell what is happening when growing autoflowers but with photos, once you switch to 12/12 you are in flowering state.
But nutrient schedule wise, usuallt you wait a week or 2 to start bloom nutes, and if that is the case, then you start counting the first day of flower once you switch, or if its auto, you wait for pistils, and when they show up its usually after that 1 week or 2, hope it answer3d ur question.

Thanks and best of luck growmie
First week of flower 12/12, good Temps, little high humidity (high 50s). Stretch has started so the canopy is thicker than a snicker right at the moment with crazy leaf growth. Ill defoliate
next week if its gets too out of hand.
I think I have 3 females but the preflowers are still a little too small for me to eyeball. (Too lazy to use loop) ;)
WELL WELL WELL, I caught the males so that's great. Don't have to worry about any seedy buds for now... Unfortunately they were having a cuddle puddle with the one and only female in the tent. So I only have one plant left out of the 4 (8 counting the bad seeds). Time to grow what I can off this one lady. She has looked and grown incredible at 75% of the GH nute recommended suggestion. Going to try and do a last minute LST + defoliation session at the end of this week to increase as much yield possible at this point.
So far everything is growing strong. Got a lot of stretch between nodes. That might have been because of the high humidity or heat wave that hit right as I started flower lol
Last time growing this strain in dirt I only saw a small amount of stretch. This time around growing in hydro I can see I've made a misjudgement. Jelly "her new name" managed to probably triple in height since I started flower. Hopefully she'll stop growing tall and thicken up her current stalk and grow the most out of her smaller tops.
This was a solid week but my PH keeps dropping. PPM dropped from 780ish to 560 so I know she's eating. Buds are forming nice and compact for their first week of actually forming. Other than the PH problem that I'm correcting daily until my fresh res change, my tallest stalk in the back grew into the light so hopefully those buds don't bleach!
Open to constructive criticism btw!
Good week, did a nute change to fix PH balance issues. Now at 95% flower nute strength so Im looking for burning just in case. She's drinking about a gallon of water a day right now, rough estimate. Buds are stupidly compact with more trichomes starting to cover the plant. Im switching ligh positions to find the best overall coverage.
Since correcting the PH the plant has done wonders. It only sadens me to see how much better this could have been if I wasn't bouncing around 5.0 ph for a little over a week in weeks 3 and 4. Harvest still looking good though coming up in the next 2 weeks. Buds are still extremely compact so I hope mold doesn't become a problem since my humidity is staying around 55, 60%. Trichs are everywhere, the pictures don't do it justice. Everytime I touch the plant my hand comes back sticky lol
This will probably be like my first time growing this strain. Not a huge yield but quality bud 100%.
Progressing very nicely this week. Most trichomes are cloudy with about 15%ish clear. Jelly bulked on some good weight even though I added dry Koolbloom pretty late (7w 3d) so the stalks are weighing down a little bit. I will say that the nutes could have gone a little higher since I didn't really see, if at all, any nute burn. Extremely compact buds but even with the humidity sitting around 60% usually no sign of mold!
She will be done at the end of this week and very much looking forward to curing her.
The grow went great except for the males in the bunch (buying fem next time). Grew incredibly fast during veg which was hard to keep up with if I didn't manage every day. Very leafy and responded well to LST and topping. Fim didn't seem to give as good of a response as topping did. Had a accidental top of about 2 or 3 nodes and every branch underneath just about exploded. I kept the nutes in check (800ish) included with a 6/2 light cycle during veg. The 2 hour night cycles really gave them a chance to recover so my leaves looked pristine the entire grow. Flower she stretched more than expected but the last time I grew this strain was my first time and in dirt.... with a low budget light. The Buds are dense and compact so unfortunately there's no forearm size nugs after drying. Still curing but the "sample jar" is already A+ potency and doesn't taste horrible. 4 days of flush, 5 days dry hanging after wet cut, still working on cure +2weeks. The pictures don't do the trichomes justice, just covered.
