This plant is really starting to pack on the weight now. Buds are getting dense and absolutely covered in frost. The smell is phenomenal and very very strong now. I had to take out a few fan leaves that started to cover up some bud. Doesn’t look like this one will be too hard to trim after the dry. Light is sitting around 950 PPFD so she is getting absolutely blasted to the max without adding in CO2. No signs of stress ever in this plant. I’m guessing roughly 1-2 weeks before she gets cut. Will start checking at the end of this week. Next feed will be just CalMag and Silica.

This give additional nutrient cooling without running water chillier. Refill solution is @ 18c Checking EC and PH 2-3 times a day. The electroconductivity values are around 1.24EC. I maintain the strength until it drops or rises. For now, I’ve caught the perfect strength, the liquid is almost static with very small oscillations in electroconductivity and PH. Replaced all filters in the system, replaced on washing… Every other day is enough, during daily cleaning there is no dirt on the filters. The girls are handling the environment well, leaves are raised as they should be, they seem like very happy plants. Formation and enlargement of flowers can be noticed with the naked eye.

Ok this is my Full guide with pictures on how to setup a Deep Water Culture grow, items you will need for this grow - Firstly a TENT or ROOM i use a tent REMEMBER stuff you buy NUTRIENTS off eBay and Amazon could be decanted (watered down) , or cheap chinese fakes (Ph Meters, PPM meters) you should really buy these things from you local hydroponics store,as they are guaranteed , i ve dropped a few into the bucket and they are fked,its been a sunday night with a bank holiday monday and i m fked, 1) Ph Down - makes the ph of water LOWER - this is VERY STRONG SHIT , wear gloves and googles if you are messing with it, i drop a bit into my main reservoir Ph 6.9 ( maybe 10ml per 200L) 2) Ph up - makes the Ph go higher - also STRONG SHIT -only needed in Emergencies 3) Ph meter 4) PPM Meter or EC meter 5) 20L Bucket + moulded lid netpot 6) Air Pump ,air hose 3m ,air stone x2, 7) Pebbles to fill to top of netpot, 8) ROOT IT cubes , i use these and ONLY these, by that brand,i know why,and so im telling you, 9) Seeds - I prefer Fast_Buds ,autos ready in 10 weeks of 18/6 - top quality 10) Nutrients, I use Canna as they are the easiest, they have a way of filling the one side , if you take the top off you can squeeze into the measuring side - I would also recommend Advanced Nutrients,but they are more expensive - so you will need 1L Canna Aqua Vega A+B ( it comes as two parts that you cannot mix together , when you put this into the water you MUST stir it well before putting each one in seperately otherwise you will get salts formed and crystals floating around,10 ml per 10L week 1-2 ,15ml per 10L week 3, 20ml per 10L in week 4) 1L Canna Aqua Flores A+B (as above) 25ml per 10L week 5, 30ml per 10L week 6 ,30 ml per 10L week 7 , 25ml per 10L week 8,15ml per 10L week 9, 0 per 10L week 10 250 ml Canna Rhizotonic (roots love this use this from start 20 ml per 10L and cut down after 4 weeks to 5ml per 10L up until week 9 250 ml Canna Cannazym ( breaks down dead roots, enzyme of some sort) 15ml per 10L from week 3 through to week 9 250 ml CannaBoost - (quite expensive but worth it, DWC will show you why) 15ml per 10L week 3 to 4 , 25ml per 10L week 5-9 250 ml Canna PK 13/14 (bud booster) this is optional because you only add it once,personally i add 15 ml per 10L in week 7 so its stays in for 10 days I leave my water for at least 24 hrs before using it, in a big old olive container i bought , i think its 225 L i might be wrong, but it was cheap , solid and had a top :) I check my water levels ,my PH and PPM daily 11) Jubilee clips x3 - to secure the fan ,filter and outlet.( 5 clips if using air cooled hood ) 12) Fans - i have 2 little fans and 1 big one = think about it, outside there is always good air flow - 13) Extractor fan -mine is 6 inch 14) Carbon Filter - mine is 6 inch im not overly impressed with any brand. 15) Ducting- 5m of 6 inch easy enough,well for me... 16) Ballast - LUMATEK -i found this one amazing and switchable. 17) Lightbulb -600w HPS ALL THE WAY but i would use 1000w HPS if i could keep the heat down, they both fit in same fitting 18) Air hood - i have a MAGNUM superXXXL it has screw in holders for glass , they are quite tight 19) Timer for lights , must be good quality , I do 17 hrs on 7 off as it's more natural 20) Syringes for measuring accurately 21) Bucket to mix solutions THE GOLDEN RULE - you can always put in but never take out - never put in too much or undiluted into the reservoir unless you really know what you are doing, less is better than too much . Ppm v EC - you may well buy an EC meter instead of ppm meter there is an easy way to convert between the two ~ 1.0 ec = 500 ppm EC multiply by 1000 then divide by 2 to get ppm This diary will start shortly but as so many people ask me how to setup HERE YOU GO :)

03.22.23. Start Week 3. Today i started the Low Stress Training on the plants. I first carefully start to bend the plant kinda massaging the plants and making the plants softer and easier to bend down. I then tie the base on one end to keep the plant from snapping, and bend the plant the opposite direction and tie it down. I will continue this daily until flower starts to create a perfect even top canopy. End of week Review. All 3 plants seem to be reacting well to the nutrients and LST they are getting. Also the few leave trimmings seemed to go well with them all. I have officially named the plants. There names are Megan, Lucille, and Alien. Very excited for these plants to start there flowering stage

Cash Express 03.01.2025 Tag 21 / 27.01.2025 Feedback: Die zwei Cash Express haben ich Topping und LST durchgeführt. Ich bin nun in der 3. Woche, die Seitentrieben haben sich gut entwickelt. Für Ratschläge von der Community nehme ich gerne an. Feedback am 29. Januar 2025 Die Entlaubung von meine zwei Cash Express habe ich diese Woche durchgeführt, es gab keine große oder kleine Probleme. Das LSD hat sehr gut funktioniert, jetzt können die Pflanze in die Breite und in die Höhe wachsen.

We are nearing the end and she looks beautiful. I will flush with plain RO water the next week or two while she ripens. I didn’t do any training to her. I have a clone from her and I cut a few leaves from the top of the meristem when she was vegging and she responded with 6-8 branches catching up with the top.

For my second grow, I am OVER THE MOON!! I just yielded 16.1 ounces (wet trimmed) from a single lady in a small 23"x19" x 48" DIY tent. The strain; Mandarin Cookies v2 from Ethos Genetics, was very easy to manage and did not have any issues even in my small space. It was really difficult to determine the run time, it suggested 9 weeks from the breeder, I ended up going almost 13 weeks!! the trichomes stayed white

She drinks a lot and drives all her energy to the buds, they are getting really huge 😎 I noticed some slight foxtailing on the upper colas but this is probably due to my QB being too close so I'll dim the driver down to 75% to end the flowering cycle of this GoldBarKush because I have no more vertical space left. The orange smell is delicious! Can't wait!

420Fastbuds FBT2302 Week 8 What up everyone. Hope all are having an amazing weekend. Weekly update for these two. The frosty one seems to be just getting more and more frosty. The others not to far behind flowers are starting to frost up so one can only hope it turns out the same. I'll probably do a mild defoliation this week taking off some of the bigger fan leafs. Will keep the same routine as the plants seem to like it and are responding well. All in all Happy Growing

There isn’t a ton to report this week other than the two behind my garage are on their stretch, and the one in the garden is bulking up. It has been raining a lot here, I gave all two big dosages of cal/mag and tiger bloom. I figured most of the nutrients were washing through the soil. I haven’t noticed any nute burns, so I’ll likely keep feeding them once a week. I did some bud backbuilding on my garden plant about a week ago, because the other two didn’t look as developed, i snipped the tip of the buds on the other two about two days ago. I think overall I should have a pretty good yield this summer, I wish I had a bit more purple buds, but hey🤷‍♂️ Purple kush none the less. I’m signing out for the week, thanks for tuning in. Cheers.

First and foremost.. . I apologize on the tardiness of my diaries. I came down with Covid 2 weeks ago and it really put me down for a little bit. I'm finally feeling a bit more like myself and am spending more time in my garden again. In my last journal I was talking about the different mutations I had with both these ladies from the germination stage. After doing some research I found out that the blackberry auto is actually a triploid mutation and I'm glad I kept her.. she's looking amazing despite a slight nitrogen toxicity... maybe the soil was a little hot for the blackberry auto compared to the other pheno's I'm growing. The blackberry auto is well into flower and looking great. I'm going to continue to strip as much vegetation off her as possible and lollipop upwards through flower. There's not much I want to say about the Forbidden Runtz auto. She was a twin mutation and she has been stunted from day 1. She has grown lanky and thin, but I'm hoping to get some bud to press as soon as I harvest. She currently is looking a little stressed out, I've been feeding her at various pH and E.C. ranges just to see what happens. Please note the curling of the oldest fan leaves.

We're almost there. There're some amber trichomes, just a few. I'm gonna wait a few more days to harvest it. It smells nice! :) And there's sign of nuts deficiency, and some light purple tones.

Good strain for beginners. I could keep her on flowering for two or three more weeks , but weight is not so important.
