Forum Stomper *Tester*

MiniFarmer A special little package finally arrived and we are doing all kinds of new and fun stuff starting with this round. This diary is for the Forum Stomper. This is a cross between Forum Cookies and Mephisto Sour Stomper. This little girl along with her 4 sisters are all within a 24x48x60 tent. As you can see from the pictures, This girl is sitting in a 6-inch basket on a homemade DWC using GH Flora trio nutrients. She is being top-fed until her roots hit the water using a Blumfeld pump and a res outside the tent with the same nutrient mix. Probably 7-10 days or so. Next big change is lighting. New lights were added, Folux Quantum Boards capable of 150w each. They are currently set at 100w each and raised to 20 inches. These things are bright bright bright. I turned the first one all the way up and it hit 170w max and blinded myself. I also have a Viparspectra450 (212 actual watts) between the two QB's for when flower starts and additional light is needed.

MiniFarmer Week 2 and it was a rough one. We had a power surge and my pump was not protected. Turns out that is not a good thing... shocking. Took 2 days, but a new 793gph pump is installed This little girl has 1 tube and airstone dedicated to her so she gets roughly 3.3gpm of bubbly googness. She looks a little slow and calmag issues on the first set of true leaves. I Fixed that in this week's res change.

MiniFarmer (Late week add) another week of growth and another week of trying to bend her over. As you can see she was strapped down also. Her growth is behind the nuggets in every way. Even her root system is smaller and spread out. Pics of that next time I remember when I change.

MiniFarmer So this week I release the straps holding her down and let her grow. She is doing better, but still behind a little compared to the other DWC. She is still drinking and I am using an external res to keep her DWC topped off. Making sure she is taken care of.

MiniFarmer Another week of this little bush turning into a bigger bush. She is not doing much and is kinda floppy like. No real strength to the branches. Complete opposite of the strawberry nuggets. I am letting her do her thing and just keeping the res filled.

MiniFarmer This little girl is just moving right along. Flowers are out, just all over the place. She doesn't seem like she has the strength to hold up anything.She is floppy and limp branches compared to her big sister. Also starting to see a need for cal mag a lot more than anything else I have ran and she is already getting 1/2 tsp per gallon. Upping to 1tsp per gal to see how she does.

MiniFarmer Catching up after a vacation. As you can see this girl is a little angry. She has a small problem I am attempting to correct. Just take a little time. She is still growing along even though she is shoved in the corner. Not a lot of smell on this one but the buds are coming in very nicely. She does not get as much attention as her big sister, but I just have a feeling this is gonna be the one that hits like a truck. The lights on this one have also been moved to their max height, although there is a filter in the way.

MiniFarmer Returning from vacation catch up. So this girl is coming into her dorm and looking a little better. She is still recovering, but making a nice return. Buds are pretty dense, and not a lot of smell compared to the big sister, but there is some if you stick your face in there. Frost is starting to build up and it really sucks to move these DWC around since they are both so big and sticky. Time is getting short and we will soon see what smoking is like with these. I can not wait for it.
