Ok guys here is my complete 'foolproof' guide to growing DWC - a few people locally have asked me for this , so if I put it here you all can see , I will answer ANY questions on this thread , ppm,ph,nutrients, feel free to ask.
This will be a canna grow using RHIZOTONIC ,AQUA VEGA A+B ,CANNABOOST,CANNAZYM ,PK13/14,AQUA FLORES A+B
Quantities you will need 1litre Aqua vega A+B ( all the A+B come together when you buy them ),1litre Aqua Flores A+B , 250ml Cannazym,250 ml Boost, 250ml Rhizotonic, 250ml Pk13/14
400 ppm is my water baseline - I ph to 7 in my 200 litre reservoir so it can air for 24 hrs
First get seed into root it cube , i put them into my heated propagator for two days , they sprout and I transfer , place on bottom of net pot , then fill with clay pebbles in line with top of cube , fill bucket with just enough water , so that when you put lid in there is 1-2inch gap between bottom of net pot and top of water ( approx 12 litres) - you can just place seed into root it cube and straight into net pot and pebbles but you MUST rip a corner off cube and push into hole - THEN LEAVE IN WARM,DARK AREA UNTIL IT SPROUTS -
Next add air hose into water and turn on you should see lots of bubbles , put lid on bucket and wait
.
I use roughly ten litres in my buckets of water , if you have to make the ppm up to the required level , use more nutrients .
I should add I not sponsored or friendly with any breeders or nutrient company I just like fast buds and am most comfortable with canna - gorilla glue is the one .....
@BigDaddyK, my gorilla is 5weeks old just now "under a 600w hps" π± I've never smoked weed from an auto before so really looking forward to it... I was thinking about doing a full white widow auto grow after this grow π
@BigDaddyK, there's something about him, maybe the way his body processes oxygen, so the CO he produces feeds soelmething in the plants...I don't know, some sort of weird phenomenon!
He came for a visit, spent a week as my plants' roommate, and just his close presence to them made them like double size or so. It's crazy! =D
@BigDaddyK, From the only two pictures in this entire diary where you can actually see almost all of the plant it looks like it might have possibly yielded maybe 4 ounces dry. The bud isn't pictured together in one pile. There aren't any pictures of the bud on the scale so it's easy to assume that these numbers are inflated because the pictures don't adequately depict what happened in this diary. Why are you hiding all the bud?
Hey @BigDaddyK,I wanted to say that you got my vote for the diary of the month because you had very detailed description and good photos, even though you forgot to change the 'light cycle' field for the flower ;)There are very good growers here but I find it very difficult to learn from diaries with no details in the comments, no accurate age of the plants, few photos, some even have the wrong strains.I hope you keep up the high quality and attention to detail in your diaries, even though I understand many growers have several grows at the time and it is time consuming to document everything.T.
@BigDaddyK, Thank you very much! I will do my best!:)I have limited amount of space and some other annoying constraints, so I try to have few plants, but grow each one really well to get a big yield out of them.
@Toothless, you could easily get two crops in the time of one normal grow in your setup πI am really impressed with your diary - it's very helpful - stick with it ,please , for me π
@BigDaddyK, So you leave the lights 18/6 throughout the entire grow? Cool, I never grew autos, for some reason in my mind it made sense to put them also on 12/12, but of course what the point :D
@KiefHunter, the reason the A+B are separated is because they don't mix and form a salt if mixed directly together , you have to dilute them in water first - I found that if you have ph under 6.3 then nutrients cannot be taken up in the late stages , you get leaf burn, also the closer it is to ph 7 the easier it is to control π
@BigDaddyK, Thanks for the tips. Can you tell me how i have to use A+B? Why is separated? Am i have to put together? Shes looks like a monster, a little bit leaf burning in the lowest leafs, and also the roots little bit dark, im really dont know what im doing :) i have calmag too, because shes under marshydro 48 led. I dont have ppm tester only ph. Canna suggest 5.8, but your diary is much higher than this. Whats my goal?
@KiefHunter, in the first few weeks you just have to check the ph , the nutrients are very slowly taken, but as the weeks go further they will take more and more , it doesn't need to be exact but it's easiest to add the nutrients straight from the bottle when ppm drop , REMEMBER you can always put in , but never take out. If you get plants as big as this you will get used to checking them morning and night π Also I always put nutrients in then top with water π¦
Very impressive and what a yield! Great grow πI put one of these down but it got seriously stunted in the first week so ended up being tiny but wow, as you mentioned, the smell and taste are amazing. The crystal coating is crazy on this strain!
@Maxranger,thing about auto flowers is you can't make mistakes , if the stem falls over that probably knocks 2 feet off your plant , if you get the nutrients too strong , again lowers the yield , DWC seems to go real well with @Fast_Buds seeds , and it tastes fantastic π
