This is my first time ever growing cannabis. I have grown tomato, cucumber, peppers, celery, roses and cabbage in the past. **PLEASE GIVE AS MUCH GUIDANCE AS POSSIBLE, ALL ARE WELCOME** I will be growing the Dinafem OG Kush Autoflower strain. OG kush is my all time favorite strain. I buy 3 Dinafem seeds at local grow shop. I start 2 seed with Root Riot cube in egg tray under light with 5ml water for 2 days, then nutrients begin. I am using a 20L generic Deep Water Culture for both plants. Water is PH 7.2, 170ppm from tap, it is too chlorinated and dirty to use. I use cheap bottled mineral water, it is 80ppm. I build a 1L CO2 Reactor with water filtration chamber to increase yield. Will last 4 weeks, recipe below. Will change at week 4 and week 8. The light is a new Mars Hydro TS 600 which will be on a 20/4 cycle during veg, have not decided about flower. Lights are off from 0400-0800. Photos are captured daily at 1400. This will be fun. I will be outlining the entire grow with daily updates when the day is complete. Outline: Day 1 = placed 2 seeds from Dinafem can in root riot added 5 ml nutrient solution per GHE recommendations. a. Pointed end of seed pointing up, deep into root riot, under glass bowl (humidity dome) under 20/4 light at 30cm. (later discovered that this was too low!! 60cm for TS600!) Day 2 = seeds germinated well in 24 hrs, 100% germination rate 2 for 2. a. seeds in root riot in egg tray are under glass bowl (humidity dome) in tent Day 3 = both ladies have sprouted, one seems to be a bit more vigorous. a. introduced heavy nutrients at 318ppm to both ladies. b. removed glass bowl (humidity dome) c. activated 1L CO2 reactor, 800ml warm water, 400g white sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of Instant Yeast. d. Temperature 25.1 degrees Humidity 50% Day 4 = Cotyledon and first leaves visible. a. 1st plant is doing well, showing a long root at base of root riot. 2nd plant no roots yet through root riot. Day 5 = plants in root riot placed in DWC a. Nutrients at 320ppm for top feeding until roots hit the water level DWC. Water level is 3cm from base of basket to prevent overwatering. b. Top feeding 10ml of water a day to the seedlings, want them to find the water supply soon. Using 15L/20L for water supply. c. Water supply in DWC is 420ppm with Fulvic (Diamond Nectar) and Silicate (Mineral Magic) added per GHE first roots recommendations. d. growth is very noticeable from Day 4 to 5. e. Using the 420ppm solution from the DWC to hand water 20ml every 8 hours during transplant. f. Temperature 23.4 degrees PM, Humidity 50% Day 6 = roots starting to show through basket a. bottom of basket is getting a good mist from the oxygenated DWC 420ppm nutrient water. b. one plant is a bit more vigorous still. c. Will not be top watering today, the DWC mist in the air gap inside the DWC is hydrating enough to push the roots into the nutrients. d. Temperature 24.4 degrees, humidity 45% Day 7 = Noticeable growth overnight a. watered the rocks with plain 6.0 PH water to keep humidity steady around the ladies b. Temperature is 25.5 degrees, humidity 45% c. LED is now at 60cm from plants, seems to be a good height from the Mars Hydro TS 600 Quantum Board. (having the light too low during the first week did burn the leaves a little, had to trim in week 3) Let the Vegetation phase begin!

Grow Questions

SwissKushstarted grow question 4 years ago
DWC - The DWC smells good, there are no signs of rot or foul smells - I use 3% H202. I keep the temps under 22. The plants are doing great. Should I just add in my flowering nutrients and let it keep running, or should I disinfect and do a full change? Thanks in advance!

If all is well in my water and I’m switching to flowering that week I usually like to just add like a half dose of flowering nutrients to the existing water. This keeps the nitrogen going for the transition week. Then I change out the water to flowering the following week. Not sure if anyone else does it this way, just seems like the logical thing to do. I use a reservoir mostly though so I can go a bit longer with the same water. When I’m growing in just one or two bucket I tend to change the water since there is only a few gallons and add both veg and flower nutrients for the transition week then change it out the next week and only add flowering nutrients. Whatever is less work...lol but everyone will probably tell you to change it ritually every week. I don’t like wasting nutrients though and I use a lot of them, so I tend to let it ride longer then I should sometimes. Lol hope this helps! Cheers!💨

I have 2 Dinafem OG Kush Autoflower ladies in their 4th week growing really well. I have been utilizing LST, and the ladies seem to respond well by growing more. I want to maximize yield, and am wondering should I ScrOG or not? Thank you!!

Hi there,ScrOG and LST are almost the same technique.The main purpose is to spread the branches as many as you can and make an even canopy.As long as you have space to tie down the branches,you can still continue LST.If you are interested, check my Organic Vs Inorganic diary.I use both methods for two plants, one strain .Happy growing... ✌️

One OG Kush Autoflower by Dinafem is flowering and making buds great, the other not so much.... The conditions have been literally exactly the same for both plants. One of the plants just keeps "flowering" leaves... What is the problem? What should I do?

Wait up a lil longer. I have two plants, same strain from same breeder, in the same conditions and one took 2 weeks longer before starting to flower. You can try to lower temps a bit at night to simulate winter coming, reducing a bit the light schedule, in the end it all depends on the plant if its an auto. Hope she flowers soon, stay lit growmie.

I am hoping to achieve the really nice couch lock anti anxiety effects of OG Kush. Ive read for the more narcotic effect the trichomes should be more amber. Ive got 2 OG Kush phenotypes flowering, 7 weeks. Can anyone tell me how much longer I have left until harvest? Thank you 🙏

Hi, for “couch lock” you want at least 20-40% amber trichomes on the buds. Good luck! ✌️🏻💚🌿

wow, good grow buddy. They're very tall for autos. Do all your plants come out tall or is it the genetics for this particular strain? Also, could you explain how you have an indica and a sativa version of the OG? I've never seen that before

@SwissKush, same here man. I'm starting an OG Kush auto diary soon too, so just wanted to see how yours grow. Best of look with the harvest buddy.

SwissKushcommented4 years ago
@GuerrillaNo_4, yep you are right man! The Haze leaning phenotype grew 3 big tall plants out of the main trunk. It started smaller than the indica, but in veg I could tell something crazy was happening because it shot up fast the first 2 weeks in flower. Ill follow along, good luck with your grow!

GuerrillaNo_4commented4 years ago
@SwissKush, they look real good bro. The tall one must be the sativa pheno. Never expected such a difference from the same genetics. On my first grow too. Mine are growing wide and bushy, no where near as tall as yours.
