The plant of course is much more smaller with the restricted root zone causing a bonsai effect. However, she performed really well under the circumstances with a relatively large yield all things considered. I usually smoke high CBD but was very impressed with this high. Let's see how it goes after spending more time under the influence. Review... Growing in the solo cup sized container proved to be much more challenging than a regular grow. The plant soon became stressed dealing with the tiny root zone making everything hyper sensitive. The first issue was showing as tip burn even though the ppm was kept in the 650-850 range. Then the leaves showed a general yellowing overall specially showing at the bottom fan leaves. At this point I was changing the nutrient solution every 2-3 days trying different nutrient brands and concentrations seemingly without much success. It was a nerve wracking period which ultimately lead me back to General Hydroponics with amendments. I did learn that the plant can weather the storm even with less than perfect vegetative leaves while she focuses all her energies into calyx production. It’s was upsetting to see less than stellar health but eventually all the leaves drop and the flowers power on seemingly without issue. The cascading diamond structure developed as a result of a couple broken branches that occurred during the training process in an effort broaden the plant profile with wider lateral spacing. Although initially upset when the fractured branches that withered after being bandaged up and . After removal of said branches it was exciting to see the new possibilities. The cascade formation called for additional side lighting to maintain uniform bud size all the way down the front lower end of the plant. I was looking to create a stadium like effect. The experience of operating the visual hydroponic unit called for a number of practical adjustments along the way. Although initially, very excited with the system concept as an integrated design with nutrient solution supply and gravity drain through the pump, with the air supply inside the pipe with the air bubbler acting as the drain/root filter... in hindsight, obviously, it would not work as the root mass became denser and denser. The first issue, as the path of least resistance, the air was forced back down the nutrient supply pipe. This prevented the pump from priming itself and subsequently no nutrient solution delivery was even possible. As a result, the original air stone was left in place to prevent the roots from entering the nutrient tank and a new bubbler stone simply added to the tank itself. Although the original idea was for the air to be continuously pumping directly through the roots, the flood and drain would actually be just as good when drawing the fresh air in and out with each pump/drain of nutrient solution. The ON cycle was initially set to 10 seconds which eventually became 30 seconds as the roots mass grew denser. This proved to be too unreliable as the fill level was no longer consistent which required constant monitoring to be sure that there was no flooding over and above the container lid. It which case, a simple feeder tube to the top of the root zone was the best option. The ON cycle was set to 5 seconds with a 15 minute OFF interval. Overall the biggest concern was the timer itself, which had several bad reviews for malfunctions with growers losing their plants. However, I have no choice as this was one of the few timers that was capable of cycling down to the second but it all workout fine in that regard… no problem. Was it a perfect grow?... no, definitely not. However, as a relative beginner, it was definitely a great learning experience. Mostly, I need to work on the nutrient blend and concentration. For more control, a backup tank with float valve delivery to maintain the water level for this particular system would be a good idea as well.

Week 6 Update – Stretch Madness! 🌿 Things are going really well—maybe a little too well! 😅 The stretch has been insane, with the plants reaching 80cm in height and still growing. Honestly, they can stop anytime now! I’m currently watering 3.5L every 36 hours to keep up with their needs. BioBizz#1 – BT15 Everything looks good so far, but I checked the runoff and noticed a pH of 7.5. Not exactly ideal, considering my feed water has a pH of 6.7 without adjustments. Something to keep an eye on. AN#4 – BT15 I’ve reached 100% of the feeding schedule with an EC of 2.5, and she’s handling it like a champ. Since bumping up the nutrients, she’s taken off and even overtaken BioBizz#1 in growth. AN#3 – BT11 She’s been getting an EC of 2.1 for the past few days and seems to love it. At this rate, she’s going to outgrow my tent soon! 🙂

Like my sisters in the box, I added Jungle Indabox PH Down nutrients to the girl to prevent soil acidification. The little girl grows beautifully, blooms are done everywhere. I continuously cut the leaves from the bottom. It just makes me happy. 😍

Que pasa familia, vamos con la quinta semana de floración de estas Monster Maker feminizadas de Sweetseeds. Vamos al lío, las plantas se trasplantaron a macetas de 7 litros. El ph se controla en 6.5, la temperatura la tenemos entre 24/21 grados y la humedad ronda el 50%. El ciclo de crecimiento puse 12h de luz, el foco está al 100% de potencia. Tengo visitantes, trips que combatiremos con control biológico. Me gustaría estar más encima este cultivo pero la salud me está impidiendo un poco este 100% con el proyecto. - os dejo por aquí un CÓDIGO: Eldruida Descuento para la tienda de MARS HYDRO. https://www.mars-hydro.com Hasta aquí todo, Buenos humos 💨💨💨

Got these plants as rescues, they were infested with powdery mildew, and under a bad light cycle causing them to flower prematurely. I cleaned up the dead growth over a period of a week or so after planting them into my yard, as well as weekly misting with a milk based spray to combat the PM as they returned to vegetative growth.

Really fun grow. Wasn't sure what type of training I wanted to do, so it was nice to be creative day to day. Ended up using only LST. Lower branches stretched so much to make tall dense colas, like the turrets of a castle. No deficiencies or major problems. Recommended!

En general me encanto cultivar esta genética, siempre fue la primer genética que quise cultivar desde que empecé en esto y no me decepciono en lo absoluto, de una sola semilla obtuve 106 gramos de flores de gran calidad 😃 increíble para ser mi primer cosecha con semillas de bancos, ya quiero ver que resulta en la próxima cosecha ya con más experiencia y mejor equipo 🤩

Song of the week : Ray Charles - I've Got A Woman VS Kanye West - Gold Digger ft. Jamie Foxx ------ Day 8 - It's a new week and I'm so happy to deal with a recent slight over watering 😒 , I could not expect a better surprise as all of us growers likes to give extra care in attempts to save a grow 😤. Anyway , the ladies are thriving and It's the only things that matter ✌️😛 ------- Day 11 - They looks better today so I decided to transplant them in 3L pots. I did not water a lot to let the soil dry after the over watering 👍✌️. As I am a Lucky man , after the nice over watering here comes the white flies , this tiny little bugs that only want to suck the plants , bring fungus and put plenty of eggs under my leaves , you can't imagine how happy I am to already deal with 2 issues 😒, it will bring a lot of fun to try to get rid of them 😖😩😧

really easy to grow. Had some issues in the begging being underfed and low ph issues. But still grew through all the struggles. Wasnt the biggest yield but wasn't the biggest plant. So wasn't expecting truly much. The purple pheno gave me a zip and half about. The other green one gave me a zip dry. Both smell lovely and can't wait. Will come back next week or so to update smoke report. Also fixing to make cannabutter from some of this can not wait ^_^ . Will grow it again but in a bigger pot maybe.

First off I just want to say for some reason it’s not letting me change the right temperatures on my diaries ! Each time when I put it in they stay at 50. My day air stays 75 degrees an , night degrees is 70 ! Today is day 58 for all these ladies! This week has been really great ! Girls really progressed a lot , especially for one the Forbiddin Runtz, looks like is gonna finish up in a week or 2 ! Other then that they are coming along well! Keep those eyes peeled for next week! Cheers😶‍🌫️💨💨💨💨

Transplanted and separated into a 4x8 and 5x5 started to get deficiencies I think either cal or mag maybe even a little of both I flushed the soil in case ph was off in the soil then a couple had nitrogen deficiency so I gave them a tea last night will see how they look tonight when I’m off work once they are healthy I’ll flip to flower
