Medium: Yep - still gonna beat on the DWC drum. It just gets better and easier every run. Almost religiously changed out the res. every week and this was definitely overkill. Couldโ€™ve easily gotten away with every 10 days to 2 weeks. Stuck with peroxide this run again instead of going with bennies via hydroguard or hygrozyme. The results speak for themselves on a 6 week veg. Thatโ€™s for sure. Still saveโ€™n them dolla bills on the nutes too. Minimal nute mixing (as well as simplistic regime) and for what weโ€™re using in each res. - gotta be easily a 50-60% savings on nute consumption vs. more traditional methods. Honestly makes one wonder why organic soil grows are seemingly all the rage. Iโ€™ve found terp. Profiles, structure, plant health and of course yields to all be just that much better in straight water. What more can I say, we love our DWC. Method ๐ŸŽš๏ธ๐ŸŽš๏ธ๐ŸŽš๏ธ The dueling methods were the whole point of this grow. Our best attempt to illustrate the differences between LST vs. LST/Topping ie. just how significant is the difference in terms of overall production? The truth of this test is a bit of a double edged sword. On the one hand, topping does have a significant effect on overall yield. This fact is regardless of whether or not from seed or clone.That said and when it comes to clones, you still have to be mindful of the drawbacks of further dividing (and thus reducing nug size for) main branches. Our topped clone #2 is a perfect example of this. While the structure demonstrates significantly more branching, the nug sizes are also significantly smaller. As youโ€™ll see in the yield details it does somewhat make up for this through a higher overall weight but it was also a much less manageable plant than #1. Root mass on the topped plant was heavier and bulkier, drinking much more water than its counterpart. And in late flower half the plant was pretty much falling over. While some of this is attributable to the extremely hollow stems (and thus a carbon deficiency), making the most of the grow light proved difficult with the topped plant as bushy as it was. Basic summary - if ur cloning for profit or efficiency, stick with straight LST and grow a whole bunch of em. If I had to do it again I donโ€™t think i wouldโ€™ve bothered with topping - just for the sake of greater ease๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”. Then again, Iโ€™m greedy as fuck when it comes to my yields so I Could totally see myself trying to max everything out and go for broke๐Ÿค™๐Ÿค™. 3/5 volume bars for the rating - we accomplished what we were trying to. Yield/Harvest๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒด๐ŸŒด Awwwwwe yeah - down to where it counts and these girls were champs๐Ÿ’ช. While internodal spacing was longer than necessary and overall bud size was smaller than average; these plants pushed out some solid weight๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘. Ran er through a 7 day dry and all jarred up on a slow cure. Final numbers: Total yield - clone #1: 5.14oz = 143.92g Total yield - clone #2: 6.01oz = 168.28g Approx. est. yield: 600g/m2 divides by 4.8, multiplied by 2 (approx. for 2/3 the cabinets sq/ft) = 250g per 0.41m2 Actual yield: 11.15oz. per 0.41m2 = 312.2g per 0.41m2. That is some seriously good production right there๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž. The high end avg. for this strain is 650g/m2. When you crush that out to my space and the numbers above, it works to about 270g per 0.41m2. Our actual yield still destroys the high end avg. by almost a zip and a half๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘. The cree cob does it again. Fuckโ€™n jazz hands yโ€™all๐Ÿ™Œ! With results like these you could really give the whole grow a 9/10. Itโ€™s only an 8 in my book because itโ€™s not my preferred high. Otherwise, any time youโ€™re north of 5+ oz. per plant, itโ€™s a good day at the office๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘. Props๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š No choice but to shoutout Humboldt genetics. These beans have treated me so well and I canโ€™t say enough Good things about the strains this organization puts out๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘Œ. Other than that, thanks to everyone who dropped by for a look and a comment. The convos always good and of course - any questions or enlightened conversation are welcome. Every time I try to take a break from documenting a grow, I end up growing something worth documenting. If your as high as I am right now, you should still be trying to figure out that last sentence.... stay lit yโ€™all. See ya soon on the next one๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š.

420 Fastbuds Week 6 Gorilla Zkittlez Auto What up grow fam. These two girls are growing absolutely amazing. Very easy to grow up to this point. I did add 1tsp of each of General Hydroponics 3 part flora series to give them an added boost if needed. The colors they're starting to show on the leafs and flowers are mesmerizing. Starting to give off a smell so one could only hope it gets better from here on out. All in all Happy Growing.

A Greenfingeress Hello The harvest of my lemon pie girls and this was excellent girl to grow as she didnt go into flower to early and just grew and grew. I totally enjoyed training her as she had long thick branches everywhere I'd definitely recommend waiting longer to harvest an excellent strain from 420fast buds Thanks for reading๐Ÿ“š Take Care Greenfingeress ๐Ÿ’š

Wow ๐Ÿ˜ฒ I was thinking this was going to be a total runt. As if turns out I am starting to think of it as having a lowryder auto. I know I know ๐Ÿคฃ it's not a lowryder. She's actually a Northern light crossed with Big Bud Auto from Seedsman. This little lady was barley 3 weeks old when I noticed her transitioning to flower. I was about to pull the plug and decided otherwise. I mean what could it hurt to grow her out. Anyway she's more than doubled in size and her bud sites are well formed, stacked up and just looking good. Question? Would it be better to turn my 250 true watt down and move the light closer?,or run it full power and set it higher ?

So she got the chop 2 weeks prior to what I wanted, but I did not lollipop enough doing this Scrog and suffered high humidity, lack of airflow and as a result lost 4 tops... Out of 16 big ones. But I have harvest, wet trimmed and left to hang dry in a room on clothes drier. Room circulation fan on low, and temp is 22c with 51% humidity. Aiming for a 10day dry it maybe sooner. Then we will smoke test and cure then re test ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’š Thank you all for following along this LONG and heartbreaking breaking Journey

Trop Cherry #8 x BeeJayz hasnโ€™t been topped, I transplanted the girls this week from a 1 gallon pot to a 3 gallon pot. Trop Cherry was in a plastic pot but now in a fabric pot. Plants seem to be growing well.

Best week of the entire grow..Harvest dayโ€ผ๏ธ i definitely underestimated my workload. Did some minor wet trimming..most of my workload will come during dry trimming...I can confidently say that I will definitely be pulling much more than my 1st grow. Im hoping for at least a pound. Will keep yall updated in my last upload for this grow with the final weight..Happy growing ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿƒ

This is the week. We know we put it as veg but we are turning back the timer this week. Around and hour a day we click back the timer. We use to just flip it to 12/12 in one day, but we thought it was too hard on the ladies, so we are trying this now. The gruntz is just trying to bully the others out the tent. She is a beast. We think going with 4 in the tent from seed might not work. If they were clones for awhile maybe. The clones we took off them are somewhat making it, might have to take a few more just to be sure. Otherwise itโ€™s just been water. We left a few leaves on the soil surface to help hold some moisture in. I just hope the Bruce and gruntz donโ€™t stretch much after the flip is done. The tent feels a little full already. If you see anything we can do better, let us know. Spread some love and share some bud!

Last time with dwarves I had super long root who where stuck in the paper, idea is to prevent it by simply check more often. Why the paper towel ? Bcse I want to see if seeds are alive. 16h00 : 2 seeds sprouted, I took the decision to transfer them into their futur nest for a long time, 3 of them. They have name now : QuickPink QuickBlue QuickGreen : the seed at the right side is inside Quickblue, Middle : QuickGreen And the for now not sprouted seed is in QuickPink (I love the name, I really hope she will sprouted. โ™ฅ๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜I love smartpots, I can use safety pins on them โ™ฅ๏ธ First feed : Calmag (i messed up, only 1 ml per 3 litters, will do better tomorrow) 1ml + Alg-amic 1ml/3L. + Bio-Heaven 1ml/3L.

THis is exaclty what i aimed to start smoothly before increasing e.c... but you will see .... ๐Ÿ‘ step 4) Bio-grow : really litteraly 0.3, no extra drops, really well mesured : E.C. 0.8 : Chock. Added 300ml of water : 0.7, an extra 200ml of water : 0.6. I am ok with that for now (and I forgot the bio-heaven but hey, roots first ;D) ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป Why not bying biobizz root booster ??? ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‘ป ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘‰ Because they are minerals, and not organic, mostly iron, zinc, bronz,... I asked to check T.A. nutrients, organic ! Bingo ! Enzymes ! Humic acid ! All the good stuf... So yeah, I betrayed biobizz... Other problem : T.A. propose less bottles, organic and bio products... Well, I may switch to T.A. nutrients or advenced nutrients, don't know yet but I have a good feeling about T.A., their system are used by NAZA, they are good in hydroponics systems... And I love my coco. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘‰ Indeed, I am not using products specific for cocos but I know what I will neeed to fight : iron. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘‰ Spoil alert : won't add any pictures for 2-3 days, making an experiment before starting week 1 veg. (only today's pictures...) They are ALIVE ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘‰ R.H. was around 71 % to 80%, now droped a bit, light is on for hours (you will understand why later....) droped after opening windows for fresh air : Temp 23.2ยฐ // 51 %
