Day 79 since I started this project and I dont think I could be happier with how it's going. The buds are not very big but its not the size that gets it done. Growing for myself so if I end up with a jar full of popcorn nugs whatever lol. Im a admin on a midsized facebook grow page and had a member try to call me out over the size of the buds. Its funny how many people think its all about size, explaned to them that when it comes to my personal grows I don't care about the size of the buds.
Started adding Overdrive to my nutrients to give her that last extra push but I don't see them getting to much bigger. The top section and tier 3 buds look great but tier 2 looks like it still has a ways to go. Also I realized I hadn't been adding house and gardens drip clean to my nutrients chart above. I'll be going back to past weeks to correct, its just a heads up going forward for people following. My next grow ill also be switching from General Hydroponics Flora series to Advanced Nutrients Jungle Juice. Ive used General Hydroponics Flora series for years and so has my family going back to basically when it first came out. The stuff works, but Advanced Nutrients says that Jungle Juice is the exact same product, but better. So I'd like to test that out.
Judging from the way the plant looks today, I'm going to be giving her 2-3 more weeks before she comes down. She's getting milky trenchomes, but I like mine to be around 70-30% milky/amber when I chop them down. So hopefully she well be cropped, cured, and tested for before November. Like to enter into the October contest if I could. Don't think she well win, but always have fun trying.
Happy growing everyone.
its interesting because i always use hydroguard for root protection and with DWC, i didn't have to control my temp and hydroguard was enough. But aerogarden, it was a different story. I am learning from your grow thanks.
@MaryJaneUSA, I was looking in to getting hydroguard but a grow buddy of mine suggested against it. Said it won't work properly because the leaf rust is being caused by the roots getting to warm and hydrogaurd won't stop that.
@MaryJaneUSA, ive worked it out that if I add 6 ice cubes when it hits 20c it'll drop it down to 17c and keep it there for a few hours, depending on the air temperatures
@MaryJaneUSA, lol icecubes rite now but ive been looking at making something to help keep it low. Frozen water bottle would work but it be a pain I the ass to switch it when the plant gets to big. Water chiller would be ideal but the cast for one can get atrocious
Wow reminds me a bit of dr Grinspoon I smoked at barneys farm coffeeshop in Amsterdam back in 2015-2016 wow once all this corona is hopefully over that’s my next stop
@MaryJaneUSA, thanks!!! Its been a lot of work to make it work properly but so far its looking excellent how I hopped it would. My only concern is that the 50w light might be insufficient for flower. If it is ive already got a plan to fix that for the next grow.
Let me know how this goes, I’ve tried several times with an AeroGarden Farm Plus but every time I had some form of leaves rusting and eventually dying.
