2/17/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 1- I removed some of the water to see where the roots were only one had roots in the water. However I want to go ahead and get them on Week one Nutes So I am over 50 gallons of water in the system so I mixed the Trio at a 1.0mil per Gallon but restricted it to a top of 50 gallons period. I top fed the other two to keep encouraging root growth. I also finished my drying and curing from my last run and wanted to show what it looks like all bagged up and in the cannatrol.
I added the following Nutes:
Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil
CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 37.5Mil
FloraMicro = 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil
FloraGro= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil
FLoraBloom= 1Mil/Gal= 50Mil
ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 25Mil
EPSOM- 1 big pinch
2/18/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 2- I top fed #1 and #3 since they still don't have roots in the water, I will continue one top feed a day until roots hit water.
2/19/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 3- #3 now has root in the water.. Yay!! I now have #2 and #3 with roots in the water so no top feed for them. I only had to top feed #1 and the only reason I didn't just go ahead and cull her today was I am responsible for breaking her tap root and stunting her, I wasn't careful enough and she was the first to show a good root. In that vain I will carry her a few more day's top feeding but if not root by the end of the week she is getting culled.
2/20/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 4- Today I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water. I also removed the humidity shields from #2 and #3 today the ladies were touching the sides so they are done with the extra shields..
2/21/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 5- Today Morning: I Ensured the PH is in range, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water,
Evening: I decided that the roots of the two are looking great so I am going to drain and bump the Nutes to a full Week 1/ Week 2 Nute base.
I added 36 Gallons
I added the following Nutes:
Silica = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil
CalMag= .75Mil/Gal= 27Mil
FloraMicro = 3Mil/Gal= 108Mil
FloraGro= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil
FLoraBloom= 2Mil/Gal= 72Mil
ORCA = .5Mil/Gal= 18Mil
2/22/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 6- Today I Ensured the PH was not too high as the system continues to cycle the water and adjust, I refilled the Humidifiers, I top fed #1 since the roots are still not in the water,
2/23/2024 - Vegetation Week 1 Day 7- Still have to Top Feed #1 no roots in the water, however she is still progressing nicely slower than her sisters with roots in the water but still going strong.

Start of week 6 now, Not sure if this is technically in the flowering stage yet, but def seeing more of the white white pistils. Accidentally overdid it a little on nutrients so had a good flush with some ph balanced water and all seems good, just 1 or 2 burn spots on a leaf here and there. Dialling it all back to keep it safe at the moment.
I've had to bend the tallest plant over and am using my tent net to secure it for now.
Included a few vids this time, so feel free to let me know if you spot any issues.
Smell is now noticeable if I leave my grow tent open whilst watering, so glad I got a carbon filter. :D
Also had to get a bit inventive to shift the LED lights up a bit as Im using a 160 CM tall tent.
I am planning to bend most of the tops down to the net hight, so hopefully this will keep things from getting light burn as still have about 25 inches of space from the net to the LED its self.
Watering is around 600 Ml per pot per 24 hrs just now.
Edit: 04/09/18
Added 2 more pics, mostly on some of the lowest leafs, noticed some marks, thankfully just 1 or 2, so not widespread and could equally just be a bit of nutrient burn, but thought Id post to see if anyone notices something I dont.

Unsure if this will produce bigger buds before harvest, watching the trichomes now to see when the right time will be.
I anticipate her being ready by Christmas, will cut when trichomes are mostly cloudy

Small review on the viparspectra v300 that I used, maybe it can be usefull If someone are looking for a budget light:
Cons:
-it's noisy! if you are growing in your bedroom or living room etc.. keep it in mind.
-the spectrum it's poor, lot of blue n little red, no green, yellow, orange, uv etc..
-it covers a little less than what the vipar claim.
Pro:
-among the made in china's led is one of the best built and has a long and reliable warranty period.
-it's really good for vegetative.
-it's very cheap
to conclude, it will grow your plant quite well but do not expect super results.

1 of the bubba kush & 2 of the gorilla zkittlez are a little behind but over all everything seems to be going good so far!
Day 10 update transplanted all the ones in smaller pots to 5 gallon pots except 1 of the bubba Kush it still needs a few more days! Everything else seems to be going great!

I (pre-moistened) worked in 2.5 gallons of de-chlorinated tap water, with my fingers into this high-porosity soilless growing medium. This variant is very dry, and seems to reject water, until moistened(3cu ft compressed, Agro a5-hp from local nursery).
Even after the 2.5 gallons of water was worked in (with no runoff), there was still a dry patch at the bottom of the pot.. I figured it would start to absorb from the wet medium on top, over time.
It is now Day 10, and the moistened medium never needed to be watered since day 1. The medium is almost dry enough to be watered (see final picture). Maybe one or two more days. I will poke/scratch the soil daily, to ensure that I wait long enough, to not over-water.

Black Cream Starting To flower. Beautifull plant.. It as came to the first scrog level. Started Training. Dont know if it let her got or make another scrog level. Please share your ideias. Scrog Its new for me but in small budget space i get it. ... this its the way to go.
Bomberry its a slowstarter maybe gave her a little more water in seedling fase. The pots are big and it was dificult to control seedling moist at begening.... Killed 3 seedlings.
Wedding Cake looking good
Purple Couscous Tink its going to be another beast.
Share Idias. Sensores with possibel integration. i will make it work.
Hope You Like This Diferent Aprotche To The Culture

Tuesday February 28th I dropped 5 Exotic Genetix “Yikes” in ph’d to 6 water. After 8 hours they’ll go into paper towels. Eventually ending up in rockwool. This is my first time running a RDWC system. I have to thank @budz_alot for helping me get this all together!!!

Week 8!
I've seen some challenges leading up to this point so far, with Plant #2 showing the results of what insanely high EC levels can do and how important it can be to know what's going in to the soil and what's coming out.
Luckily, things seem to be straightening out and both plants are putting on bud weight.
Day 50:
- did some very light defoliation, removing a few fan leaves that were blocking bud sites on both plants.
- the smell is starting to get much stronger than it was last week.
Day 51:
- watered with a 310ppm nutrient solution, using 3ml of Remo's Bloom nutrients + GH's CaliMagic per gallon of dechlorinated (by aeration) tap water.
Day 52:
- nothing to report
Day 53:
- tent temperatures reached a bit higher than normal due to warmer outside temperatures. 80F instead of 78F, for approximately 8hrs.
Day 54:
- Plant #2 has an extremely sweet smell, sort of like grape.
- Plant #1 is smells similar but not quite as sweet and not quite as much grape.
Day 55:
- Probably should have watered today but we're leaving it one more day.
Day 56:
- watered with plain, dechlorinated (by aeration) tap water.
- used small amount of bloom nutrients to adjust pH from 7.1 to 6.4, resulting in a weak 55ppm nutrient solution.
- watered to runoff (maybe 10%).
- Plant #2 runoff testing at 6.3 pH and 1850ppm, which is higher than we expected.
- did some light foliage trimming, mostly on plant #2, to remove dead and mostly-dead leaves.

Pretty happy with the growth. Not sure if i should prune or let do it thing. Space isn't a problem so it doesnt need to be tight.

Eventful week for the girls... threw in another 95w LED to finish out flower and to grow an extra plant or two next run. Checked the trics on the leftmost plant and they were almost all cloudy and even starting to turn amber in a couple spots, so I decided it was time to chop her. Probably gonna take the other smaller plant down soon as well. The tallest plant is still looking larfy as hell but I'm hoping she'll thicken up a little over the next week or two.
