So far so good. Was able to get the taproot sprouting, and made the move into the nursery until it can grow big enough to move to the bucket. Im thinking not to add any nutrients to soon.

Hi all, I am a first time grower, I am doing DWC, and was wondering when I should introduce the general hydropic line of nutrients to my precious little one lol. Just on R.O. PH 5.8 right now. Thanks to all for your help. She is only 5 days young. Thank so very much!

In hydroponics you start feeding from the time their born at 400 ppm, 0.8 ec. You increase the feed by 100 ppm 0.2 ec every week if your seeing good growth. By the 5th week your plants should 18 to 36 inches and ready to go into flower.. Dont go overboard on your nutes and if you see your ph creeping, adjust it. Keep your water cool and watch nutes that are to dark. Canna aqua or Dutch nutrient formula are all I would recommend for hydroponics. Dont go more than 1.8 ec,,1.6 to 1.8 should be good. Cheers

Added humidifier in my room on day 9, to keep the humidity at a constant 50-55 %. It seems to have helped with promoting growth. Day 11 - Started keeping water in bucket around 16 - 18C. Day 14 - Noticed that the roots are reaching pretty far thru the bottom of the cup. I am using a 3L container for now until my taller tent shows up in a couple days, then I can switch to my 5 gal/ bucket. As the current tent is only 48" tall, the light would be to close to "Betty".

Day 15 - things are going well. Noticed leafs were drooping a bit, so added Cal/Magic 1ml/L Day 17 - Leafs are back up and looking happy, Cal/Magic must be working. Am still having trouble keeping the water temp cool. Noticed a few brown spots on the roots. Bought some Sensizyme and added that as well. Day 19 - Started changing water every 2 days, brown spots have cleared up. Starting on node 4. A lot of undergrowth is happening as well.

Things started off pretty good this week. But due to the rapid root growth, "Betty" has quickly out grown her temperary home. The new permanent 6'7' gorilla tent will arrive tomm. so I can put her in her 5 gal. bucket. I am also upgrading my air pump from a 1LPM(which I found out is not enough for a 5 gal bucket) to a 7.6LPM air pump as well. Im hoping the bigger resevoir(will help keep water temp. down) and much more oxygenation will help clear up the root issues.

thick and green? or covered in algea? if thick, i'd wager light is hitting them and they are differentiating somewhere between root and stem. This may also be the cause of any root infections - light leak. if algea, still light leak causing it, as that requires light to grow.

don't remove leaves unless overlapping and otherwise congested. Try bending them to new location first. Lollipopping is a double-edge sword. It can often reduce yield, but increase proporiton of higher quality buds... sometims i'm sure oyu can even increase yield if you leave a bit more lower growth. I like to do it. If the plant sheds the leaves down below, so bet it, but i don't cut htem off. I do remove lower leaves if they impedge me watering the plants easily / quickly. you can do it ~15-20 days into bloom and do it 1 time, you could do a little minor spring cleaning before you send it to bloom and a 2nd/3rd sweep later, if you think it'll require taking more than 1/3rd of the plant off at one time. Better to split something like that up and not at certain points that shock would be a bad bad thing. LST / Top, whatever.. just get it done. You want even growth. 1 vertical shoot per 4-6" by 4-6" area. Mix topping with LST in less dense areas. Use apical dominance (tallest) to even out canopy height -- simply bend down taller branches for a day or 3 until shorter limbs catch up. Topping will slow it down too, and you don't have to keep 2 forks if you don't want.. .simply trim off the other one. it's worth your while to keep an even canopy. Distribution of resources will be more equal. Try to limit how many vertical shoots are coming off a branch.. 2-3? You start adding more and you get smaller and smaller colas each time it splits a new vertical shoot. After you bend it over, removing any leaves dragging along ground is a good idea. Anchor in opposite direction to reduce stress on roots. Axillary growth below the bend will typically suffer greatly. Consider removing it. I've tied them up to gain apical dominance, got them fairly even, and it still wasn't as good of bud as the other shoots. So, anything below that initial bend is going to be impacted. keep the plant after the bend as even as possible. How long before you let tip grow vertically? depends on the size of plant you are intending to grow. Timing is about it catching up to the rest of canopy. Simply know how the plant reacts to various things you can do... all tools to shape and form a level canopy that fills out your space in an optimal way. You'll want all the vertical shoots you need as it enters bloom, but the size should be about 70% length by 70% width of what it will grow into 4-5 weeks into bloom phase. (it'll double in size .7*.7=~50%)

Things are really starting to take off in terms of length and bushiness. Increased the nutrients to aggressive veg as per GHE and things are going well. Noticed a little bit of yellow tips on 1 or 2 sets of fan leaves... will monitor that Im not sure if its starting to flower lol, will watch those potential bud sites.

So far so good. Thanks for all the advise and help from the community. My first grow is coming along fairly good. This is the 2nd week in "aggressive veg" feeding as per GHE, I feel like everything is going according to plan. I did have an issue with the PH level dropping.. I increased the air flow and the PH level has remained fairly constant. Did some minor trimming of the lower tier branches as the fan leaves are taking over lol. I wish I had more experience with how much to remove, I don't want to waste energy on air buds.

You would probably need a 6 inch extractor to help control the humidty . I have had problems with it over the years especially in summer. Dehumidifiers are your best bet , but they are expensive and noisy. If you can't install a dehumidifier then I suggest you keep air flow constant in your tent . Mold will only really grow in stagnant humid air . So if you increase the air flow in the tent you should be able to avoid it. I've flowered in constant 70 percent humidty . But I kept the oscillating fan on them at all times and avoided any problems .

Things are in full go as of now. I adjust the locations of my fans and exhaust thanks to some help from the "community" Made changes to feed as per GH for bloom and ripening, and since then I have notice so many more bud sites. I did some light trimming to allow for light to get to some of the lower colas. I have been adding 1 gal of water and nutes every 2nd day, with a complete solution change 1 a week.

Patience is all that's needed in this stage my friend keep to your feed schedule. It will be plain sailing from here. Don't worry they will get very frosty strain dependent. If that's what your looking for coated trikes I would suggest trying to grow the stronger stains they tend to have more of a trich development but as a grower has said these buds are very immature. Trike development will usually start after 4 weeks of flower and the amount is strain dependent. I know they are very photo genic but more trikes does not necessarily mean nicer bud its all about the pheno type. from 4 weeks until about 12 weeks flowering your plant will continue to grow new trikes and mature the old ones too so you know its really upto you how much you want and do you want to risk it trying to self pollenate in a chance at more trichs the choice is yours my friend keep up the great work :) 👊

Another solid week of growth. Not reaching so high anymore and starting to focus on bud thickness. Buds are starting to get sticky and more full. Brought the TDS down by only adding half the feeding recommended by GH as the tips of the leaves were starting to turn brown.

This week was a struggle with the humidity. It is rising up to 55 or 60. I am making sure that airflow is good and that fresh air is being introduced into the tent. I am attempting to lower the night time temp to about 14 or 15 degrees Celsius to bring out any colors that might be in the genes, but Im low key scared to freeze it lol. Buds are getting fatter and are starting to fill in along the stems to make solid big buds. I am getting pretty excited. Will do 1 more week of nutrients and then will start to flush as it says 65 to 70 days of flower. Also starting to research best ways to harvest and cure my crop as its coming soon.

When plant is ready to harvest after a flush and fade. Cut down and hang parts upside down in dark. Have slight moving air and humidity around 50 to 60 percent and about 65 to 70 degrees. Having a meter for jars is helpful. To know when to jar. Use crack test on stems. When they crack and make a noise when bent it is jar time. Open jars 2 to 3 times a day for 1st week. Once a day 2nd week. 3rd week about once every 2 to 3 days. 4th week and on about once a week. Good luck and enjoy the harvest. 🌲🌲🌲👊 looks tasty. Good job

Another solid week of bud development. I am noticing there is a lot of inner and lower buds that look to be very small and fluffy. Not sure how tight they all will be by the time they are finished. I moved the tent downstairs in order to cool it down at night time. I have it down to 18 or 17C each night. This is helping keep the res. water cooler as well. This is the last week of nutrients and then we will start the 2 week flush. I am getting excited :)

Hi ! Het is handig dat je een idee hebt over wanneer je plant ongeveer klaar gaat zijn, in theorie staat dit er altijd bij. Maar in de praktijk kan het anders zijn, elke plant groeit verschillend. De ene gebruikt trainingstechnieken waardoor de plant extra moet herstellen, sommige planten groeien minder goed door stress en hebben meer tijd nodig.. Het is beter dat je de trichomen blijft opvolgen, deze kunnen heel snel veranderen. Op de bloeiharen afgaan is niet betrouwbaar, dus dat is minder belangrijk. Ik denk dat je wel melkachtige trichomen zult bereiken. Het is niet erg dat je al aan het flushen bent, je gaat vanzelf merken als je plant aan zijn einde komt (bladeren die vergelen, afvallen,..) Dan oogst je beter. Maar ik zou zolang mogelijk proberen doorgaan tot je melkachtige trichomen kan zien. Met de heldere ben je bijna niets, deze bevatten amper THC. Groetjes en als de oogst er is, laat het smaken!👌🌱

This plant grew easy from start to finish. It was a great learning experience. This plant was very forgiving, I was trying different methods of LST, topping and defoliation and it bounced back every time. I would grow this style again soon. The buds were a bit fluffy, but I plan on adding C02 to the next grow.
