Seems ok so far, personally easier than messing with soil, im finally able to fine tune my root zone. These are random seeds that ive had for a few years now and i know they produce really smelly sticky buds but will they be Female! Free seeds will be my trial and error.

Second week slow growth but no sign of death ! These seeds are an unknown Australian strain grown in Australia given to me by a friend, suited for our harsh climate yet they seem to grow best with very little nutrients. Ive started with 100ppm to play it safe and they are showing signs of heavy feeding at this stage.

One of the strains grows with next to no water and is showing signs of over watering, noticed small amounts of nutrient burn but nothing harmful.

I realised great white mycorhyzea is better used as a top feed around the roots, after researching what the microbiotics does I now know they needs a place to innoculate and do their thing, the only thing i noticed whilst i had great white in my water (bubbles) around my roots, it would stick to them makimg the roots look brown scaring the shit out of me with the thought of root rot, once cleaned off with ph water I exclude great white from my solution and only add 40ml around the top roots once a week through the hydroton to prevent bad bacteria. Shortly after there was explosive root growth !!

My buckets are 20l (total capacity) yet Im only use 6L of water through this stage , I Carefully bumped up the nutes these plants are abit shy when it comes to feeding they are already out of their natural habitat being in a DWC setup. Could be Crappy days or Happy days lets wait and see.

(Bloom test week) I decided to put both plants into bloom to determine the sex of each one. The Right hand plant was a Male (sad times) the left plant however is a winner and is looking super healthy , i have now switched the lights back into veg at the end of this week, aiming for another 3-4 weeks of veg.

After putting the plant into bloom for 1 week and then back into veg, the main bud branches, seem to be growing their own minature colas, buds growing off buds. Ps. I could not grow in a pot of soil too save my life. Yet i can grow hydroponic 3 times easier .
