Das Experiment

When germinated I put the seed into its final medium of a rockwool cube ( I soaked the rockwool in 6.0 pH water for 24 hours changing water twice) and into humidity dome for first 3 days of its life with a heat Matt keeping humidity high and windows in the humidity dome open for some ventilation and kept the light dimmed to its lowest setting also lightly misting seedling twice a day with 6.2 pH water, on the 4th day the white taproot was through the end of the rockwool so I took seedling out of the dome and put it into my 4gal DWC hydro set up, I put clay pebbles into the net pot filling up the first couple of inches and then placed my seedling inside the rockwool subtrate on top with more pebbles packed gently all round to secure the seedling in place, It's running a 4w airpump Which is on now 24/7 with 2 airstones attached with black plastic airlines to avoid algae buildup later, the water level in the bucket is filled to just under the netpot stones, I don't want the rockwool getting soaked or submerged, the air bubbles from the water below should keep my rockwool moist and hydrated while the roots find their way through the pebbles and into the reservoir, I have the humidity at 70% and will decrease by 5% -10%everyweek until 30-35% is reached in flower, Also I'll keep pH at 6.2 and bring it down slightly every week until It reaches 5.7- 5.8 for flower I have added small doses of Canna start and rhizotonic into the reservoir

Plant is looking good and healthy, starting to develop good roots rapidly and is now fully in the veg stage, Rhizotonic is working great as far as I can see and Canna start looks the job, I have Canna A&B for later but after studying reviews etc Ice gone for Canna start for the first 3 weeks and then on to the A&B later as it comes into flower, Plant has grown 4 inches or more the last few days and is now 8-9 inch tall with nice lush green leaves, I'm increasing nutes and supplements and have introduced calmag at a 1/7 recommended dosage I don't want to stress the plant at this early stage, I've decreased the reservoir level since last week to about 1.5 inches under the net cup as the roots and hairs are developing well and want to give them some air as they grow further into the reservoir Pump on 24/7 Ph in reservoir is slightly decreased to 6.0-6.1 PPM around 250-300 will increase next week

Growing great, Ive introduced Canna A&B During a reservoir change mid week after using Canna start since the beginning which I thought was a great product Plant has grown a few inches and alot thicker, I've did my first pruning of leaves midweek, I've brought pH down again, 5.9 Humidity down to 50-55% And increased PPM to 580 and also introduced Canna boost at a macro dose Since it's my first plant and only seed that germinated I'm just gonna prune and maybe top next week or so

Hi, it's been about 4 weeks since germination, it's gone from seedling to veg and already signs of preflower and pistil hair appearing from this auto; going to add 2/3 recommend dose of PK 13/14 for this week only and microdose for remainder of grow, It's my first grow, not sure of strain Healthy but a little bit of nute burn so flushed for 4 hours looks alot better and have also brought the pH down to 5.8 and for the remainer of the grow Also PPM increased to 920

Plant looks real good have had a few problems over feeding etc but flushed twice for 3 hours at a time with pH water, Increased main nutes and supplements after the flush to push the plant a little bit, plant getting very big and quickly, I'm learning to try keep the reservoir at a max 22°c as the plant loves that temp to suck up the nutes etc, I keep 2 1litre bottles of pH water in the fridge and put in the freezer a couple of hours and top up the reservoir with that every 2 days with a little bit of nutes, I've only added a small dose of PK 13/14 as don't want a phosphorus potassium overload, pH consistently at 5.7-5.8 Steadily increasing PPM but won't go past 1100 as I've stressed plants a few times by accidental overdose of nutes, I've learned little is more kinda approach towards nutes I've also introduced another 4W airpump with an air stone and a ring diffuser for an experiment, so I now have 4 different air bubblers in my 4Gallon bucket and it is really taking off

Plants is huge and not many problems, Will decrease nutes next week

Plant is looking very healthy and huge has over doubled since veg, I've decreased the nutes this week as I'm getting ready to flush and harvest, I think in the next 10 days max, plenty of Trichomes and pistils with some turning amber and buds forming fast and getting fat, it's my first plant so not sure when to harvest, last week lots of Trichomes but not everywhere, this week Trichomes are everywhere even where in areas with bad lighting, I'm worried about missing the harvest window, the plant is still taking in a usual amount of steady pH water of 5.8 and is thirsty still and still getting fatter bud sites but some of the leaves around of the bud are curling a bit, any advice be appreciated as to harvest time etc

I've brought the PPM down again and kept the pH at 5.7-5.8, plant looks great first grow so very happy, Alot of Trichomes and don't know if I should be getting ready to flush and harvest, buds still getting fatter and she's still thirsty and drinking water but a lot of amber pistils and not sure if the crystals are clear or Milky but plant looks Great, just unsure when to harvest, I've reduced nutes a little more and calyxs still fattening up, gonna hopefully start flushing at end of this week for about 2-3 days in my 4gallon bucket

Plant looking really well, I've kept the nutes high enough thought I'd cut back but it's going great so gonna push it on another bit, don't know how long but don't think anymore than one more week to harvest, calyxs getting fat and buds starting to getting nice amber pistils, this will be last reservoir change hopefully and start flushing this time next week, Any suggestions like how long I need to flush in 4gal DWC be appreciated, thanks

Plant looks great, buds really fattening up last week or so thought they wouldn't, cut the nutes in half and getting ready to flush, any suggestions or advice be welcomed, thanks

I'm cutting the nutes big time trying to get to 300ppm and I'll start flushing, main cola starting to show a purple reddish hue through the buds and sugar leaves, looks lovely just wondering should I be worried Update: reducing nutes still before flush, some buds going slightly purpley/reddish colour, still looks great just wondering what could be

Just flushing this week and I've trimmed 70% of the fan leaves off to try get the last bit of light onto the buds, alot of nice greens and red colour coming through with frosty tricomes, I've kept the EC low the last couple of weeks so I'm not gonna shock my plants with just cutting off the nutes, water from tap has good EC around 170 so just pH water and gonna let it run through the plant for 2-3 days and the sit in the dark for another 2 days before the chop and then hang her up for 7-10 days in the dark to dry at 21°C and humidity 45-50% and then into my curing jars for at least 2 weeks and 'burp' them once a day and check humidity in jars daily, I've also cut a few buds off before the flush so I can compare the difference with the flushed bud VRS the non-flushed, will harvest half this weekend and maybe the other half 4 days later to rltry get more light on the lower buds, Hopefully all goes well 🤞🤞

First and last grow just harvested so Will update next week but all looks great with plenty of kief for edibles, looking forward to next month after a dry and a cure, Thanks to all the peeps for the help along the way 👌🤟✌️👐🤗 4.2 Oz of bud 1 Oz of sugar leaves 1 Oz of fan leaves for CBD butter Just made cZnbabuytervwith 40g sugar leaves, I decarboxylation the leaves for 40 mins at 110Celcius and then melted 600g of butter and added 1 cup of water so the butter doesn't burn and simmered at 170farenheit for approx 3 hours and strained with a cheesecloth into a pyrex dish and chilled over night and skimmed the water off the top, every 15g of butter is approx 1g of sugar leaves
