Week 3 is off to a really great start! The growth last week is tremendous!
With GHE nutrients in a DWC it is literally set it and forget it. The earthy aroma inside the DWC smells like soil, I am guessing this is the Mineral Magic working its magic.
The plants like the lower PH, 5.7 alot! If you run DWC, take it from Dr. Kratky keep the PH under 6. I use an electronic tester as well as a chemical test kit from GHE
Outline:
Day 15 = growing like a real weed!! (Thanks @DinafemSeeds for the AWESOME genetics!)
a. I noticed that one of the ladies had some minor light burn (total spectrum LED was only 30cm away days 0-7) from the first week that she shot out of the root riot so fast! I clipped the damaged areas. I also subjected these ladies to nutrients day 1.
Day 16 = added an additional BIG 6L CO2 reactor to the tent, extreme veg growth continues, closing off passive air intakes except for 1 hour a day for CO2 saturation.
a. Recipe for CO2 reactor, 6L bottle with 2700 grams white sugar, 4L warm water, shake until dissolved, 2 teaspoons of activated instant yeast, and one ripe banana, poke many holes in bottle cap and place in tent. ill be adding another teaspoon of yeast, 200 grams of sugar and 300ml of water every week to this reactor. The 1L reactor is still pumping strong. when it is exhausted i will replace with additional 6L CO2 reactor. this recipe usually in most cases nets 700ppm of CO2 per week in a fish tank. ** Make sure to use a chopstick or something to stir the 6L reactor everyday to fizz up, mine smells like banana rum.
b. Observing one plant skipped its 2nd set of 3 finger leaves and went straight to growing 5.
c. Through the top feed port, the DWC smells like the purest soil I have ever smelled. Im using 4g/10L of GHE Silicate (Mineral Magic) along with GHE Pro Roots (black root sludge elixir from the gods). I think this is what is making the DWC smell so nice.
d. Added 1L of nutrient solution, minus the GHE PRO Roots, to the DWC, the ladies have already drank about 1.5L of water. Nutrients are sitting at 500ppm, and the solution in DWC is always 19-20 degrees.
Day 17 = explosive growth overnight - smells like kush in the tent.
a. the plants are developing their finger leaves at the nodes, the height of the plants is increasing tremendously.
b. the PH of my DWC is sitting at 5.9 this morning, I am planning on letting it sit there.
c. i give the ladies 1hr of fresh passive air intake, after that its CO2 saturation for 23 hrs. I added 2 tsp of activated yeast to 6L CO2 reactor. The bubbles were many!
d. the plants are showing no signs of nutrient dislike, so I upped the PPM to 580 with an extra 1 liter of 5.8 PH nutrient solution.
Day 18 - growing really well!
a. added second 6L CO2 reactor, same recipe as first. I removed the 1L germination reactor and added the contents into new 6L reactor and 3L warm water to total 4L in the tank.
b. performed ist LST to train these ladies away from each other.
@Saint, I studied your grow and want to say, wow! Your grow is incredible, it is what made me choose OG Kush in Dinafem Auto, instead of doing Dinafem White Widow photoperiod. Both my top two, tied for favorite strains to medicate with. When in Barcelona we always go to club that uses Dinafem, always top top shelf. Thank you!! ✋
