How did your 1st Think Big turn out?

It was very nice, didnt even bother to check the weight man. You know what im like if im not happy with a plant.

looking killer mate... One word to sum it up---- GIRTH!!!!

Thank you DIrtbag.

Looking amazing, I have done DWC for a long time and your are doing a bang up job. I need to go back and look but how much air are you pumping into your bucket? The reason I ask is because you have a lot of the variables down pat especially with that amount of GN LED power going on in there I think you could probably double your air output(if possible) and I think you would be amazed at what it does for the overall growth of the plant especially in the final portions of flowering when the rootzone is essentially connected straight to the flowering part of the plant.

I was told a long time ago that Cannabis plants love almost above all else air to the roots. I have experimented with this environmental variable the most of all of them I think over the time I have been doing DWC and I can say without a doubt that the person that told me that was right. You can check out my AutoXtreme grow in my sig and kind of see what I am talking about. It is what I call the max o2 theory or somethin like that lol, basically when all other environmental variables are optimal i.e. lights, temp, nutes etc that in a DWC system you literally cannot have too much air to the roots she will literally take all that you can give her and love you for it.

At any rate you are doing an amazing job and I can't wait to see the final results. Happy grow Karma comin your way!

Thanks @derek420colorado
I totally understand what you are saying, the more air the better. Now i use an Hiblow XP-80 which is an 80lpm air pump. When i first attmepted DWC i used this with full power on one plant ad it literally blew off all the tiny feeder roots stunninjg the plant and causing it to grow for nearly 17-18 weeks. As you can guess it didnt do very well but turned into a beast. So what i do now is i have divided the pump into 5 air paths. 3 of which are used for bubbling water for other plants and such. The other two are used for the DWC single bucket. I usually start off with one air stone in the bucket and then when the plants in flowre i add a second. So in theory the plan is receiving about 16lpm for veg and 32 lpm in flower.
Do you think i could add more air in, i would just be afraid that it would stun the plant. Let me know hwat you think dude. Thanks for the advice.

now that's what i call a plant...

Thanking you kindly Hazy

Week:12 - Day: 84​

The same nutrient solution was kept in the bucket from last week so no changes were made to the feed. However as the plant is drinking over 22L a week, a nutrient top up was required.

To help with better Light penertraion the GN HS1s have all been placed at 22cm above the plant canopy.

As the time draws nearer to harvest the plants leaves are now starting to yellow and die back.
She might not look that healthy right now but this is a normal occurance when coming to the end of an auto-flowers life.

Harvest time is very close now as Think Big should be getting the chop in 2 weeks.

All flowers have now formed into lovely aromatic dense buds that smell like Zestly lime with hints of bubble gum.
Most pistils have turned amber now with about 20% or less still remaining white.

The THC production from this plant is just incredible as it seems to be saturated all over each and every bud. The Trichomes were checked today using a jewlers loupe 60x the results were 10% amber 90% white. Hopefully the plant will amber up some more throughout the next two weeks.

This Weeks Feed:

Base Nutrients:

• Advanced Nutrients - Connoisseur Bloom A + B

Nutrient Additives:

• Advanced Nutrients - Bud Factor X
  
• CANNA - Boost

• Evoponic - Cal/Mg
• Grotek - Silicon

Nutrient Solution:

• EC: 1.7 (2.0)
• Temp: 20 C

Environment:

• Lights On: 25-26 C

No sorry dude i didnt. When i mess up a plant or im not happy with how i have managed to grow it. It literally just the silent treatment from me. Meaning i just dont care about it enough to take any pictures etc. Il be sure to to document everything with this one though. Thanks for your comment.

No worries. I know the feeling and can't blame you. Good luck with the last stretch on this one.
