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 or shake the 6L reactor everyday to fizz up, mine smells like banana rum every time I do.**
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.
Day 19 - more LST!
a. plants are really liking the LST it seems, tons of growth around the nodes. I will be training the main stems diagonally away from each other.
b. I will not be topping or FIMing these ladies.
c. i removed the initial singular and triple fan leaves to allow for more light to the nodes.
Day 20 - LST went well, the growth is noticable.
a. I added 1/2 litre of nutrient mix, mixed at full 1L strength, 580ppm in DWC.
b. The growth was extreme overnight, I performed more LST. I also trimmed a few of the fan leaves, minor light burn from LED being at 60cm.
Day 21 - The ladies are responding well to LST
a. PPM and PH are normal, DWC smells nice, not going to change the water this week. The amount of H202, GH Roots, Silicate that is in the DWC im not worried about problems.
b. added 1/L cold nutrient solution mixed at 1L strength at NEXT weeks measurements to the DWC, 640ppm, DWC is 21.8 degrees, smells good.
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 🙏
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
@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!
@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.
