10/07/2020 Going to be rooting up a clone this week. 10/10/2020 3 days in and she is perking up some. Fingers crossed for quick rooting! Lights are on 24 hours 3 way switch on low 12 hours, and high for 12 hours. I will veg on 18 hours for 2 weeks once roots appear, and 2 weeks on 16 hours. On week 5 hope to switch to flower schedule of 11 hours of light and 13 dark. I want to see her tropical side! 10/16/2020 If it has been 19 days since cut taken, she looks pretty good, this week I am starting Grow, Micro, Bloom at seedling and cutting strength. Should see root development soon. And then move to 12 liter DWC bucket. And then we will start the clock on veg! (These past 19 days are rooting time)

10/29/2020 We finally got some roots, so into 5 gallon (12liter) bucket. Only using seedling/clone dose of Advanced Nutrients Grow Micro Bloom. Next week we will increase to small plant dose. I'm going to veg under 24 hours light For 1-2 weeks maybe do monster crop style, as I don't have veg tent available. She is also smelling amazing sweet candy like smell can't put my finger on it, so I will ask my wife's opinion and let you know. My LED'S Are on 100% veg (blue) and 50% (ref) until I initiate flowering under 12-12 schedule,and then increase red channel to 100% along with blue at 100% for full spectrum of light.

11/08/2020 Got some nice growth in the roots! Little stretch up top maybe one more week of veg Raised dose to small plant dose, next week full strength and flipping to flower? Switched out completely new bucket fresh nutes 11/14/2020 She is showing good growth,and is ready to explode into flower should be good example of monster cropping.🙏 Put her under 12-12, and at end of this week will switch to flowering dose of Grow Micro Bloom, and go to 11-14 schedule.

11/24/2020 Seeing pre-flowers nice healthy new growth maybe add some h2o2 to clean up roots some, some brown algae? Maybe. Going to lower water level to 8 liters let roots stretch more an fill out bottom of bucket, also a serious defoliating is needed, But it can wait till next week. Her clone mom was harvested at day #50 in flower, not fully ripe and it's still pretty potent stuff, I think I can go to 63 days and still get an energetic high, mom still had, 30% clear trichomes with no amber at 50 days. So I will harvest 1-2 cuttings to keep them going as everyone that tried it liked the results, but this one should finish faster with Hydro, so we will see how it goes.

12/15/202 looks good she is Starting to stretch above the leaves. Starting to smell mom turned out very potent even at 50 days flowering. This will hopefully be earlier because of Hydroponics.🙏

12/23/2020 Coming into week #5 flower will add overdrive this and next week. Should be bulking up soon I'm still resistant to defoliating but I must clean up some older leaves. 05/27/2020 Finally got to defoliating a little today buds everywhere! Holy crap! Gave her some overdrive in her reservoir bucket swap, also next week I believe.

01/17/2021 One more week of feeding then water only 01 22/2021 It's Day # 54 of flowering and starting plain water in two days till day 63 last one I took at 50 days and it was good can't wait to compare. 01/24/2021 Day # 56 of flowering and I switched to plain water, at lights on will be in plain water till day #63 at which time I will chop and dry , after 7 days of flushing. I'm curious to see how she depletes her reserves. Ps. I did chop the two tallest buds to dry and test. I'll keep y'all posted.😉

01/26/2021 Last week of flower, will get chopped to dry on day 63. I liked my soil grown clone I took at 50 days, high was good and long legs 3-4 hours. I am looking forward to seeing how much different she can get at 63 day harvest, for better or worse we will know soon! Fingers crossed🙏 All but 1st picture are under 1000 w metal halide for better pictures she is sparkling like crazy! And smell! Intoxicating, sweet Ps.will be harvesting Sunday morning, I will defoliate to show her off some,(more pics). I like to wet trim with, the exception of single finger leaves around buds I believe it protects the buds until your ready to smoke, or vape.

02/01/2021 Will update when dried and cured, smells sweeet! Very candy like sticky but have grown stickier strains, nice colors hope it looks as good dried. Greens and purples are striking! See ya next week Ps I will not do this monster cropping again good harvest but too much trimming! If I do I'll train longer into better shape. But I learned how not to do it next time. Should have vegged longer and training would have helped, I just wanted to experiment.🙏 Getting back to soil and putting Hydroponics away for a while. I will grow outside this summer to see how she does, I'm curious to see how she handles PW outside, no issues inside. Got a little PW but it didn't spread and didn't see it again. Also got all my trimmings(about 1 ounce) in the freezer, going to try and make dry sift once I figure out how. 10 days since harvest. Burbping jars once a day still releasing moisture. 02/23/2021 Smoke session time been curing 3 weeks.

@Dig_This69, Love DWC will be doing it again soon 🙏🏻 Pros Explosive growth Ànd fast finish Don't waste much water.. Cons Explosive growth and fast growing plants can be tricky inside , I used advanced nutrients ph perfect loved it no fussing about ph. Also look into RDWC Might be a good idea 🙏🏻 Ps.

Dear @MG2009, You plant is looking good, but It seems the light you have been using is not enough for her to grow at full pace. I don't know this strain but I think it should be bigger by now. Just for your thoughts in case you want to think about changing the setup. Nice growing, Y
