OG TWINS! FIRST DWC GROW!

Week 6 The plants are growing rapidly. They need defoliation again. The plants are showing no signs of deficiency or problems. The LED is now at 40cm Day 36 - Ladies are growing very nicely, they are eating many nutrients. a. DWC smells great still, the mineral magic makes it smell like soil still. b. I will be continuing the Diamond Nectar until week 9 or 10. c. defoliation tomorrow Day 37 - major defoliation a. removed many fan leaves, the ladies are growing tall and wide. b. after defoliation the ladies got 3L of fresh mineral water c. removed original 6L CO2 reactor, it was completely alcohol, will maybe run it through the still to make pure alcohol. d. added 3L of nutrient solution to the DWC, the ladies are so thirsty, water level still 3cm from base of basket and 15cm from top of DWC. This is creating a misty layer all the time for the top of the root pool. PH 6.1, 680ppm. Day 38 - most growth I have seen overnight a. ladies are stretching upward rapidly b. the stems on the ladies are getting really thick, they are drinking close to 3L a day! c. no additional water or defoliation or LST today, just letting them grow a bit. Day 39 - stretching upward continues a. plants are in the flowering stretch, still plenty of grow nutrients in the DWC b. performed light LST on the main stems of both ladies, pulling them closer to the corners a little to open them up more to the light. c. I will need to perform more defoliation soon, they are growing many leaves fast. d. added 2L of nutrient solution, the ladies are drinking very much! e. tested nutrient solution 3 hours later, ppm was only 640, they are hungry. f. added 1L of nutrient solution mixed at 2L strength to raise ppm back up near 800. Day 40 - growth continues a. removed the 2nd CO2 reactor, it is totally alcohol! Built a new CO2 reactor, there are 2 in the tent. b. the ladies are growing so many leaves, I noticed few wet leaves, time to defoliate/lollipop a bit c. defoliation/light lollipopping on the lower parts of the plants, hoping to relieve the wet leaf issue and lower humidity. d. adjusted the fans inside the tent, also added a 2nd fan. Day 41 - stretching upward a. the ladies are stretching upward more and more, Big girl seems to be still about 2 days ahead of little girl b. they are drinking and eating alot, will give 2L of solution mixed at 4L strength to maintain a ppm 700-800. Day 42 - full steam ahead! a. the upward growth is extreme! The plants are getting very tall, I will have to affix light higher later on I think. b. humidity is rising a bit, the leaf growth is extreme. removed a few of the large buried fan leaves. c.removed the 2 CO2 reactors d. bud growth is rapid. many bud sites eveywhere. The plants have multiple main colas forming. Week 6 is over, the plants are doing really well! I will be doing more light defoliation next week, don't want to stress the autos too much. There will likely be more LST next week to give the large branches more light and space. They are drinking so much, trying to keep the ppm around 750-800ppm requires me to mix double strength nutrient solution. The DWC regulates itself at 6.2 PH. Flowering has begun, looking forward to this entire process.
