Excited about this new grow, I'm testing this hydro set for first time, I've done DWC before but this one is a bit different with the driper.
Seedling has 3 days, is starting strong and fast, hopefully she will like the medium and will have a great harvest!
It had grow really fast on the first week, roots are now in water. weather outside has been really warm this week and it will continue for one more week so I will add a clip fan later today.
Great week, still very hot weather but finally will get colder from next week.
plant doubled size during the week so I guess she likes her growing medium.
I haven't add a fan (we use it for my kids room :P) but this week will do it.
in like 3 days I will top the plant to start with some LST.
Started with the LST training, will see how it goes I always break the plants :P
This new system is working great, but I'm having an issue with the algae growing on top of the clay pellets and the stonewool. not sure what to do about it.
After this week I will start the flowering but would like to get 16 colas so it still needs some training.
As usual I broke my plant when doing LST.
Now it has recovered and doing well, but the plant shape is not at all what I expected.
Probably going to flower during the week.
Did a flush for 24 hrs and changed lights to 12/12.
After flush started with pre-flowering nuts from GHE.
Will update the feedings on next week
Changed lights to 12/12 and continued with pre-flowering schedule from GHE.
Plant is looking great and healthy, changing from day to day.
Looking forward too see the flowers :D
Plant looks great. It broke in the middle last week, I will need to reinforce it later when colas start creating some weight.
She started to drink all water every 4 - 5 days . I refill with just filtered water to finish the week. Every week I start fresh with nuts.
I expect to see some tiny flowers by the end of this week :)
I just started a 24hr flush to change from pre-flower to flower. Will adjust nuts tomorrow.
I did a terrible mistake last weekend.
After watering, cleaning and all ... I accidentally left the lights on 24/hrs for 2 days. Was Sunday night and noticed on Tuesday morning.
So the plants stretched a bit more than I wanted and got stressed.
Hopefully it was short enough time so it will recover without issues.
I will update new pictures on next week.
She is starting to get smelly and my son (1 1/2 years) loves to open the tent and watch and pet the plant :P
As expected she stretched too much, now I have an issue with light bleaching my buds. I have no more space to move my lamp. Maybe after few adjustments will get another 5-7 cm. But is only 15cm away from the plant.. which is too close. Would like to have at least 30cm distance in between.
The lower flowers are fine but top buds will be half albino I guess.
Already at the middle of the flowering period, I will give it 2 more weeks and then flush and finish with final part for 2 weeks + another flush.
Smelling really nice now, as expected she is a tall lady,
Buds on top are light bleached :( but cannot do anything about it now. lower ones are perfect though, will try to get better pictures next week.
1 1/2 more weeks with flowering nuts and then will flush + start with final part
After some reorganization inside the growbox I was able to move the light higher(28cm) to stop the bleaching.
Hopefully my buds will still recover a little bit.
Smell is very very sweet I have my filter exhausting the air instead of extracting, is the first grow I ever done like this and I think it even works better for the smell this way.
I'm doing a 24/hr flush and then will do 14 days final part + flush.
I tried to take good pics but my son wants to play with it too :P
Started with final part, will continue only with this for around 6 days then will give 1 week of only water.
Smells really nice, very sweet. Upper buds are bleached, middle ones look great and lower ones are OK.
Last weeks and will harvest this baby.
Final week. Plant is already on water only after 14 days on Ripen/Final Part, will harvest tomorrow.
Smells incredible!
Will be more careful with the lights next time.
Hey, looks awesome. But you´re suffering bleaching, meaning that the top fruits get too much light.
I would recommend to increase the distance from light to plant by at least 10cm. You would gain a better light distribution and reduce the amount of light for the top fruits and distribute it better to the edges of your grow room.
On the picture it looks like you could go up slightly higher with the lamp.
In general I recommend this blog which should help identify too much light early enough.

@sanlight Thanks, I did a mistake and my plant got taller than expected...I'm growing on 160cm growbox, so every cm was needed. Now I moved lights a bit higher 28cm between light and buds, hopefully some of the tops will still recover. Amazing Lights by the way!!
im also using same system first time. using canna line next im gonna try the TA/GHE like you.
i use jiffy.
very inteteresting to follow same setup with different ingredients im considering my self :)
