I made a DWC system from a water pump in a 5gallon bucket and an air pump outside the bucket. The water pump brings water up through a tube to replicate a drip ring and the air pump aerates the water in the reservoir. It's very quiet and seems to work well. I modified a design I got from my local hydroponics guy where I also got the net pot and peat pellet. I soaked the peat pellet in tap water that I'd left out overnight to evaporate out the chlorine. I put the seed in the hole in the top and pushed some peat over the hole. I kept it on a plate under a bowl in a drawer for a few days like I would do for the paper towel method. Then I put it in a rock wool cube. It didn't quite fit and I was worried that I might have hurt the root while forcing it in but it looks OK. Then I put it under my light and waited for it to sprout. Now that I've got a sprout happening, I'll plug in the DWC system and put in some starting nutrients. This is my first time running a hydroponics system after almost 10 years growing, so I'm excited :)

DAY 28 of Flowering🌸🌼 Frosting & Stackin up ❄️🌲 Insane ice cream terps 🍨🍦

Day 49: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 840 ppm, 1785 us/cm, PH 6.5 Day 52: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 727 ppm, 1551 us/cm, PH 6.5 Day 54: Watered the plants 0.5L with nuts, 4L total, 869 ppm, 1848 us/cm, PH 6.4

Here we go! The plants are still stretching! All plants are mature now and develop small buds! Last day of the week I watered them with TOP CROPs “BUD PACK” and gave them the minimum recommended dosage. I’m very interested if the TOP BUD flower stimulator will show some immediate results. 🤞

Segunda planta cosechada (automaria). En las imagenes se ven las 2 plantas cortadas hasta la fecha (automaria, la más ramificada es preciosa). La humedad relativa en el cuarto de secado es de 63% y la temperatura 21 grados celsius. El resto de plantas siguen madurando. He reducido todos los fertilizantes hasta regar sólo con agua a partir de ahora. Espero poder cortar pronto porque no voy a estar en casa 2 semanas desde el 29 de junio, pero los tricomas no terminan de ponerse de color ambar.

Close to harvest now, i think 1 more week and they are ready.. Started the flush, only giving nutes to BB she is heat stressed and growing slow.

12/04 - Well, Pinky had a bucket change today and I'm a little concerned because, quite frankly, my aging brain completely forgot she's probably allergic to the Micro ... so I may have to do another bucket change tomorrow and get rid of it... I'll let her rest overnight and see how she's doing in the morning ... She's definitely a light "eater" - her EC should have been at 0.8 last week and this week it should be getting to 1.0-1.2 - but she just doesn't react well to the higher EC levels... She has gained SO MUCH HEIGHT this past week! It's truly astounding... Maybe the lights weren't close enough, maybe she's just a helluva gal but seriously - 8-1/2" in a week?! She's starting to scare me! LOL! 12/06 - LOOK AT HER LEAVES!!! They've started to uncurl!!!! In talking to another grower about her, I'm realizing that what she had been desperate for was more PK so the addition of the KoolBloom liquid AND the fact the pH kept going up (apparently a sign she's gobbling up the PK) says THIS is what she was hungry for... in fact, I need to give her more today as the pH is still floating upward and is too high... But PINKY!!! Maybe I've figured out what you've been wanting?! (Well, to give proper credit, @Roberts helped me to see what you were saying!) ... cross your fingers, she's on her way... And she's starting to show her colors in the buds now, too... I'm excited! 12/07 - Had to move this lady... she's gained 5" in the last 3 days and I was running out of options.... Next time, if there IS a next time, I'll probably end up scrogging her... But now she's a roommate to my #2Bruce in the closet with a 7' ceiling and she'd better not run out of upward growth space!!!!

Maximizing her before flower this would be my final layout before flower…love how she is turning out

Flowers don’t look healthy…but we are getting there. 2nd tent has been bought and half way setup for next grow. Will have 2 tents going for next run. Im addicted to this grow stuff! So I didn't listen to advice of not removing leaves at Week 5 and went and removed and stripped....I regret it now. Bud development definitely slowed down and plants concentrated on growing out more leaves as it seems. Megacrop has been removed from feeding and just Myco Chun as a tea and Plagron 4-in-1 Green Sensation. Giving me an NPK ration of 1-9-11 Hopefully feed this for a week and then follow up with molasses feedings till harvest We shall see if that makes the buds develop a bit more. Buds getting denser and bigger by the day, had to purchase these bud hangers. So nifty. Just auto mode from now I guess

sorry about week 7 being so late. but shes growing great shes taller then 12 inches shes only that tall now due to the LST to open up her canopy. been a very hot summer but she has adjusted to the environment very well. she has alot to grow still ill be sure to update week 8 on time happy growing everyone🙏🌱🌞

Welcome to my sponsored Runtz X Layer Cake from BarneysFarm. Was only in the ground 12hrs and she was up. As you'll see in the germination week she had a 1 - 1.5cm tap root and. I mixed 3g of powder for every 1L of light mix substrate. I filled the pot 3/4 full and wet with 300ml of bioenhancer, sprayed the rest that was going in on top, soil needs to be ready, (don't water after you put the substrate in, the seed can move, drown, the soil that was lightly packed in falls in on itself and you'll have collapse later on as she starts to grow. Don't compact the soil In yourself, the liquid should do it. Fill the rest of the 1/4 of the pot with your damp substrate and make a little mound, (pic above) make sure the tap root is facing down, (now some tap roots might curl up, don't try bending it down into the substrate, what you need to do is place it on an angle, / like that tap root on bottom and the root will take hold and the seed will push itself up, if you try force the tap root down you risk breaking the tap and seed might die. Trying to keep the RH as High as I can without compromising my late flowering plants in my big tent. The seedling tent is inside the big one on a negative seal. I have a damp towl in the small tent why you see a 10% dif in RH when my plants finish up next week I'll up the RH to 70+%. Seedling Day 3. She's doing great. Settling in well in her new digs. Hopefully soon we'll start seeing a lot of fungus, (mycelium), seeing some already so it's great. Just water and Bioenhancer every 2 weeks, so far, so good. Now that we are in optimal growing range for seedlings I'm expecting things to take off in the next 2 weeks. Seedling Day 7, she's moved quickly the last 2 days. Barneys strains are so strong and quick. You can tell they are hybrids. (Hybrids are when you have a mix between indica & sativa) and this girl is 50/50..

I decided to use LST on Californian snow and no touchies ( maybe a little ) on West Coast OG. Californian Snow is bigger. They both look healthy but i am a bit worried about leaf colours ( is visible on videos), thinking of nutrient overdose.

Today is 48days to flower and 85 days to seeds we are now at the end of this journey ... incredible how after eliminating rhinoskin from the nutrient solution the plants experienced greater heat stress. next time I will definitely buy the biggest solution! for the rest it seems to proceed in the normal way despite the high temperatures the blackdog holds on!

So, day 65 of the 🔅Root66 auto project🔅 and this is the last update before harvest: ❎- GSC (2) are the only plants that didn't make it so we didn't defol --> 15-20 days late. Strong plants, high ppm feeding --> no probs at all.[Same phenos]. ☑️- Cream mandarine xl (4) more than a week (10 days) before maturity. Besides that CMxl is a great yielder, tall plant with light brunches. Average ppm needed. ✅- Jack 47 (4) 5 days before maturity but that's enough for these Jacks to pass the test. Smell is unique (pineapple), no stress probs, really dwarf plants.[Same phenos]. ✅- Gorilla Glue (2) pass the test and ready for harvest. Not what I really expected, average yield,growth etc. ✅- Fast berry (3) pass the 66 project. We had 2 phenos (2 green and 1 purple), beautiful plants with great aromas. Nitrogen issues, don't overfeed. ✅- Crystal Meth (3) pass the test from day 60🤯, 2 phenos. We experimented with these. The green one (with a little purple inside) had a topping and is already mature one week before the end of the project, purple #1 just defol and purple #2 supercroping. A really fast strain, good yield n hungry.

Update 14/09/20 - All systems ahead at this stage. Plants are drinking approximately 2.5 litres per day and reservoir is constantly filled and Ph checked daily. Ph average 6.1 Humidity 50% Day Temp 28c Night 20c Seems to be Approximately 3 weeks left on Colorado Cookie & one of the mixed bag as well or may be slightly ahead, by possibly a few days. Time schedule looks as though 1 of the mixed bags 1st, then Colorado Cookie, 3rd Second mixed bag (lightly topped) then may a week or 2 will be the Blueberry. The next weeks 4 weeks are exciting!!! I'm excited to see how much more they fill out from this point! They may exceed my expectations!! 14/09/20 - I increased the nutrients slightly as the Blueberry was a little light green as opposed to all other plants that have that have lush green into flowering as well as a little extra flower boost to try to fatten up the buds. 5 mls extra of Flower Booster 25 mls per 10 ltrs. 16/09/20 - Realised that Mixed bag x 2 & Colorado Cookie only have approximately 3 - 4 weeks, so I decided to begin to reduce the nutrients instead on the 3 girls. Blueberry is at least 2 weeks behind so I have continued to feed her 1/4 nutrients and 20mls bloom per 10 ltrs. Did another defoliation on the Blueberry and this will be the last time for her until later in flower. very light defoliation of bud sites to Mixed bag x 2 & Colorado Cookie. * The Colorado Cookie has a magnificient fragrance, the Mixed bag as I'm not sure what they are they do have a Citrus fragrance. Trichomes have begun and are still clear An eye must be kept on Trichomes from here * 17/09/20 - Systems are good and everything moving along nicely.

She's doing good this week.

C.A. coming along strong. She sprouted in 5 days. Been keeping her directly under the CFL to try to reduce stretching. Anyone have any idea what C.A. stands for yet?

This girl is about finished here sister came out to about a 1 1/2 ounce hopefully this big girl is more overall good experience I don't have to say I will be doing these again because I already have 2nd and 3rd generation clones who am I tho I. Just a newbie 😌 lol

I really like the colors coming out in these buds. They are getting more purple every day. Looks like they are going to stack up pretty fat too. I spread the plants out a little this week so they get better light and air flow. Other than that I haven't done anything besides keep the reservoir full. Still pumping nutrients 1 minute on 20 minutes off. They are getting .5 tsp maxibloom per gallon. Not going to run any boosters this round. They dont look like they want or need it.
