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 :)

Following the plan, the girls are beautiful and were already quite big during this stretching phase. I hope everything continues as it is now during this growth and weight gain phase. For the rest, just wait for time to pass. 🌱🌿✌️✌️

Things are looking decent. Bud sites are starting to get nice and hairy. The blackberry breath pheno in the center of the room is chunking up like crazy and quite a bit faster than the rest. It might finish early or just be a super thick pheno. I’m going to give a fish fertilizer nitrogen boost to all plants that are yellowing, including the nice blackberry breath pheno. I’ve started a new living soil pile. I took the left over super soil from some of the male plants, mixed in a generous amount of dry compost, worm castings and natures pride bloom, sprinkled a shit ton of great white and mixed it all up. I also recently got another brand of beneficial bacteria called Dr. Mary Janes. Mixed a good amount of that in. I also found a good mychorizzae called WOW Organics. I mixed up a ton and then sprinkled a layer on top. I grinded up some oatmeal and sprinkled another layer over the mykes. I then mixed up a full strength feed of some Alaska fish and molasses and then saturated the medium. In a month or so there should be a nice layer of mycelium over the top layer

Love this strain!! Smokes amazing 🤩 big yields every time I grow her

Starting week 2 of flower on this lovely Forbidden Runtz Auto from FastBuds! Still going strong! Stretching out more and more daily and slowly starting to stack flower sites. She has some yellowing and yucky looking lower leaves but that seems common with my soil setup and nothing to worry about yet. Usually just a minor watering issue as each plant requires different amounts daily and it can be hard to get them exact. More updates soon! Day 54 she is looking and feeling a little over watered so we will dial her watering back over the next few days. She also has some minor insect damage but we have lots of spiders and other predators in the tent that should keep them at bay. We will defoliate any damaged leaves and will not spray anything on them. She needs cleaned up good anyways! We will also remove some lower bud sites in the process. Day 55 we removed some damaged leaves and some that where blocking lower bud sites. Didn't remove any lower unwanted bud sites yet but they will be next!

Weight was on point, really it was and i'm happy with it, going mostly into extracts so i can keep going with learning all about the ancestral rituals of making plant juice. Got the vaporisers from arizer on the way, so i'm smoking twice as many joints in anticipation. Used smart proteins at the start and half way through flowering.it definitely boosts terpene production and speeds up veg quite a bit, Harvest went pretty well, it was fun having the boys over for some scissoring . Everybody really enjoyed themselves but i probably should have been stricter with the hygene, would be great to be able to rent out lab space for the day to get that steril environment going you know? Rap music and lab coats ! Love testing out genetics thank you so much , next round incoming ! 🚀 So this grow clearly a very neat grow, kept right on top of things with VPD, always in the optimal ranges even if i had to manually tinker with the mister , the exhaust, the fans, the lights. Speaking of the lights i applied a "pumping technique" meaning moving the lights up a down : down going into flower, then up then down again towards the end of flower to trigger rippening. The smart proteins were used through out the grow meaning the veg went nuts, started smelling loud right out of seedling stage, then at flower stretch i think it does help give it a kick, mid flower though it makes the trichomes rippen quicker than the plant can put on biomass, meaning you get strong , ripe colas that come out a bit thin. Cut and harvested at 30% amber believe it or not, to me that's late but i couldnt believe it when i noticed the plant was ripe at 10 weeks so i let it go on a bit longer. wet trimmed and dried over 10 days, Jarred and cured for 2 months.

Hello. I want to share my experience of growing Auto White Russian from Divine Seeds. Everything went smoothly, from planting to harvesting, it took 84 days, and these days passed without any problems. Our girl responded well to various training techniques and defoliation, and there were no signs of stress. Details can be found in my diary. The dry weight was 112 grams, and while the buds are not extremely dense, they are quite normal. I recommend trying to grow Auto White Russian. Thanks to everyone who followed, read my diary, liked, and left comments.

Ya estamos en plena floración y con las luminarias a max potencia... Evidentemente el aire acondicionado también está trabajando durante la fase de encendido. Flowa-Bloom es la estrella de los nutrientes a incorporar, pero todos son importantes... Así que sigo la tabla de fertilización de JUJU Royal al pie de la letra. Eso si, primero humedezco bien el sustrato con agua, para aprovechar bien la solución con los nutrientes y que no filtre por las macetas textiles. Riego cada cuatro días.

Verrückte Woche! Woche 9 wollte die Sonne nicht so richtig raus, dafür war von leichtem Nieselregen bis Hagel alles dabei. Nur scheiße hat es nicht geregnet. Die Sonne kam erst die letzten beiden Tage wieder raus. Der erste Tag der Woche D58/37F begann direkt mit ordentlich Regen und fettem Hagel. Man konnte halt nur zuschauen und hoffen das die Ladys es halbwegs gut überstehen. Der extreme Regen mit Hagel war nur für 10-15 min, hat aber etwas an Schaden an den Blättern angerichtet. Am meisten hat die GorillaZkittlez gelitten. Dadurch das sie schon ziemlich fertig ist, sind auch die Blätter nicht mehr so elastisch und brechen leichter. Sonst haben die ladys das erste Unwetter in dieser Woche überstanden. Direkt am nächsten Tag D59/38F hab ich mich gewundert was da unten an dem Blatt hängt. Es waren ein Haufen voll Wanzeneiern... das Blatt und die die zu zerstört vom Hagel waren wurden entfernt. Bis auf das die Blätter hier und da ein paar kleine Punkte von dem Hagel haben, sehen die Ladys gesund aus. An Tag 61/40F war der nächste große Regen. Hier war ich einfach nur dankbar das es nicht nochmal gehagelt hat🤣 trotzdem kacke. Es war sehr viel Regen. Nächsten Tag D62/41F war der erste Tag ohne Regen und die Sonne kam auch wieder raus. Es gab eine kleine Kontrolle der Ladys nach den Tagen voller Unwetter. Ich hatte bei der GorillaZkittlez einen braunen auffälligen Punkt entdeckt. Wer hätte es gedacht nach dem ganzen Regen... ein Bud hatte leider Schimmelbildung. Der wurde großzügig entfernt. Ein zwei andere Stellen die verdächtig aussahen wurden zur Sicherheit rausgeschnitten. Bei der StrawberryBanana hatte ich nur die Spitze von einem Bud abgeschnitten der verdächtig aussah und 2-3 Blätter die Ansätze von Mehltau hatten. Die GorillaAuto ist ein entspannter Mitläufer. Kein Stress mit Schimmel oder Mehltau. An Tag 63/42F gab es das erste Mal wieder Wasser aus der Gießkanne. Als Zusätze gab es 4g BioEnhancer von GreenHouseFeeding, 4ml PowerBuds, 1ml GreenSensation von Plagron, 6ml BioBloom von BioBizz, 8ml StickyFingers von XpertNutrients auf 4L Wasser. Das ganze auf ph 6.8 Jede Lady hat unterschiedlich viel bekommen. Ich hab nach Gewicht der Töpfe gegossen. Die einzige die nichts bekommen hat, ist die GorillaZkittlez. Ich denke das die gute in den nächsten Tagen geerntet wird und in die Trocknung geht bevor sie auf der Zielgeraden nochmal in den Regen kommt. Für die nächsten Tage ist kein Regen vorausgesagt. Wenn das so ist wird sie denke ich in zwei Tagen zum trocknen gehängt💚 Die StrawberryBanana wird denke ich in ca zwei Wochen in die Trocknung und danach die GorillaAuto. Die Ladys sollen sich die Zeit nehmen die sie brauchen💪🏻 Vielen Dank fürs reinschauen 💚🤙🏻

Smell got more intensive and Ladies are more thirsty At day 8 of flowering we thought the plants are a bit too small so we gave them more space to the LED, about 70cm with 200watts Also they got 4ml/l of bioheaven

As always germinated in a glass of water with 1/5th peroxide added. Beans all opened up in about 30 hours. Plugs were hydrated a day beforehand so they were nice and moist but not drenched. I added a little myco's to maybe get a headstart on inoculation and explosive and healthy rootgrowth due to the fungus. Took about 48 hours to break topsoil and the Grape & cream beans seem very vigorous. 14-8-2023 Ive added a vid where you can see 3 grape and cream seedlings where 2 seem to be less happy than the third. Heatstressed mostly. This was due to my light hanging too low and the ppfd seemed a bit much for them so ive adjusted and they seem happier and are folding out flat again. 1 didnt seem phased so for now we'll keep an eye out for that one for cutting purposes but its very early hahah

Gushers is doing great under the Spider Farmer G5000/UVR40 lights, in the Athena blended line nutrition. She is due for a solution change before too long. Everything is looking great at the moment.
