Grow Mediums Eleventysix's First attemp at DWC

[eleventysix]

Hey guys its been about almost a week since I last posted and I got some time.. well she is starting to get going. I think I got her somewhat happy the leaf issue isn't happening anymore. She is stretching like crazy right now .. I really hope she doesn't outgrow the tent, then I don't know what I am going to do.. we are 15 days into 12/12 and she is starting to throw out some lady parts ... all in all I do believe she is doing well and Its looking like I am starting to figure this process out, now if I can just get her dialed in!

Holy crap, this has probably got to be the largest plant I've had to date.. apples to oranges though considered I've only grown in soil. The growth is absolutely insane. I'm definitely loving DWC for sure, and it's really not that complicated either! She seems to be in full on flower now.. I'm still at 400ppm but I'm gonna up her to 600-650 on the next res change which will be tomorrow to see how she responds. she is drinking about a half gallon a day. I'm filling the res back up with 1/4 strength nutes at the moment.. she seems to be responding well to it.. we are on day 19 of 12/12 ..

well guys its been close to a week, figured I'd go ahead and get a few pics up. I've upped her nutrients to 800 ppm .. 650 ppm didn't bother her at all so I figured why not up the nutrients and see what happens. She's looking pretty good I think and she's gotten quite a bit taller. she's drinking about a half gallon a day still. The buds are starting to form a bit also .. and the roots are still looking awfully healthy!!

Looking good man!

Definitely trying to keep her happy @Dwiz07 !!! Seems like we are both getting the hang of this dwc thing haha

It's been a bit since I've given an update and she seems to be doing pretty good.. I noticed that the ppm didn't seem to be dropping and the PH didn't rise either so I figured there was some lockout going on .. so I dropped her down to 600ppm from 900 and the same thing.. I decided to drop her down to 350 ppm and now we are getting a dropping ppm finally .. I've read some plants don't like a large amount nutrients and some love it in the 1000 ppm range.. but anyways I feel like I have gotten it sorted out. She is getting quite a bit bigger. Really starting to form buds. today is around day 32 of 12/12.

What's up good people? Another week has gone by, got some decent growth I think. I feel like maybe she should be farther along, but she's getting awfully frosty though... She is on day 39 of 12/12.. but anyways I'll take it for a first try maybe I'll get her dialed in eventually.. we are still are at around 450 ppm and dropping every day around 50 ppm.. I'm trying to keep her around 5.9 ph....

Day 39 of 12/12

She looks awesome!!! Just read through from day 1 and its awesome how well she turned around. She exploded and now looks to be exploding with frost!

Are you still trying to keep the res temps down?

 

[eleventysix]

Thanks, I just feel like for where we are now, she should have progressed a little farther... eh, maybe she's just a little slower than others, but the frosty-freshness is crazy, she smells of a tangerine, orangey, citrus aroma when ya touch her.. I haven't been monitoring the temp.. I'll try and watch the temps when the lights are on ... the space I have her isn't very ventilated either so that could be a problem too.. ead! she deappreciate ya checking out the thrfinitely came through that's for sure!!

whats up everybody, hope everyone is doing well. I have noticed lately the ppm is going up and PH is staying the same, like she has nutrient lockout but she isn't looking bad .. ppm isn't going up like crazy but I know that's not supposed to happen. Water temps are good, her res sits at around 390 ppm it started around 370 a couple days ago.. I have no idea but she doesn't seem to be doing bad just not getting bulky like most of the strains I've grown maybe this is how she will be and get just a little bigger who knows.. but here she is at day 46 of 12/12, so the midde of week 6 should have another 3.5 weeks left and she will be at 10 weeks of flower.. maybe I should start her on some overdrive and see what happens.. as of now she is getting nothing but sensi bloom A and B with a little cal mag.

Day 46 of 12/12
