Started two Grapefruit seeds from Canuk Seeds on Canada Day 2020. Started in paper towel and transferred to rockwool once the tap root emerged. Left for 3 days and came back to 2 cute little 3 cm seedlings. I cleaned out the buckets and baskets, rinsed off the hydroton and mixed up the first batch of Diablo nutrients. I transplanted the seedlings into the hydroton and have the tent fully operational. exhaust fan is on low, humidifier is on high and the ES-180 is on low at max distance, on an 18-6 schedule.

#2 developed a weird kink, she's growing sideways and one stem is turned white so I added a couple of photos here, and wanted to see if anyone's seen this before?

Make sure the white isnt PM, sometimes when humidity is a little high in the tent and the water under the plants can start it early on. If it happens to be PM 40% homoginized milk and 60% water and give her a spray. You also should try to keep your humidity down around 40% as when growing in water your humidity around your plant is actually quite a bit higher than what the tent says it is. Cheers friend

I've been reading that the RH during flower should be <50 and ideally 40-45 late. I've got good air circ, and the RH is around 50-55 atm. Will a mini work to bring that down ~10%, or should I look at external? Or will it make that much of a difference? not much room in there! TIA

To be safe in mid to late flower keep it down 40 % and under if possible. Not much risk of bud rot then. You could Mcgyver a dehumidifier to suck from the tent while sitting outside the tent. Very effective. Cheers

Seedbank says "flowering time 7-9 wks". She didn't flower until week 5, so that tells me she should have like 4-6 weeks left. Could she be ready half way thru week 8, after flowering for 3.5 weeks and does that mean I missed the opportunity to flush? :( TIA!

Hi mate, imo as I see it you are at least 2 to 4 weeks from harvesting. May be the colour of thc seems right but the buds are not fully developed. If you grow in a dwc system and not soil you can flush 3 days before harvest. There are products for this. Untill you see the pistils turn orange about 70% dont check the thc with microscope. Usually when you think you are ready you still got a couple of weeks. From the pics I ve seen you are 2-3 weeks far from ready. No matter what the seedbank says to get the max out of an auto the grow cycle should be at least 12 weeks from seed to harvest. Hope was helpfull.

@Bikoo, thanks! I wasn't planning on topping these, no. I'm a little nervous about topping autos. Maybe after this grow, and I have an idea how fast this strain grows I might top the next ones :) I've setup a screen though ... very much looking forward to creating a massive scrog! 😁

@Bikoo, I am not planning on topping these ones, just going to set up a scrog.

Interested in how this plays out. Never tried an auto feed system but I am tempted. 👍
