Grow Journal Girl Scout Cookies

[RagWeedDWC]

Both sides flowering now, have not determined Veg side sex.

thats one thick stalk/stem

[RagWeedDWC]

My first hydro grow, thinking papa has a brand new plan now. Thing that worries me is the distance between nodes, but that may be the type, will wait and see. Thanks for the comment.

Going to change ferts in both tubs to Sensi Bloom at 800PPM . Will do this next change (Once a week) will flush and clean both tubs well. PH may be the issue, but think I have to little Phosphorus for this set of girls.

Filling out nicely, but I think they should be farther along, will keep checking and put better timelines on this.

Very nice photos plants look great

Time line is now caught up, switch out all ferts to sensi bloom this morning. Has been a heck of a lerning experience for my first "Water" grow, but got to say.
Much faster growing times, big thick stems and fat leaves, verdict is not in on LED grow lights, can not help but feeling if I fired up my old 400w (Have to let local power company know its coming on line) it would do better. May try that in the future.
Onward and upward.

Great write-up RagWeedDWC . Love your sense of humor. Plants look great - but there's too much foliage for my liking.

Does your fan run 24/7? Problem with LED lighting that I usually encounter on every grow (I'm blaming the red lights for this) is bud rot, or mold. So long as your air is circulating throughout your plants you're ok.

Great job on the closet.
Good luck growing!

[RagWeedDWC]

I agree with to much foliage, my first Hydro and was not sure what to take off, going forward that will get trimmed quite a bit. I have two 6inch fans pulling from under my shop (Cut and covered with screen multiple 4 inch locations. Air flow is just enough to pull positive on the grow box they run 24/7 . In side I have multiple fans that oscillate across the grow area one low and one high on both sides 24/7 . Only light that is red is on the left side (Veg side, but now flowering under the red light). its a 270w, right side has a "White" light for flowering (According to the button). This should give me the opportunity to compare. Only time this varies is when the temp starts to get low one of the big fans will stop.

Trimmed the underbrush until it was so bare I started hearing porn music in the back ground. Great examples of how to do this all over this forum. My next grow will be a heck of a lot different in the training and leaf removal.

I considered posting some apropos music, but I don't want to get banned.

Have 5 Girl Scout Cookies from Nirvana taking a long winter's nap in the desk drawer. Spring is so far away since it isn't even winter yet.

[RagWeedDWC]

I'm pretty sure I have some on a cassette or 45 around here somewhere :-)

[RagWeedDWC]

Gotta tell you, I harvested the first lady and the bride and I sampled tonight after curing for two weeks. Nice high, not a hit you when you toke but a creep up on you oh fug I have been talking my @ss off kind of high.

[Nartak]

Love your write up Rag!! Nice work on the girls buddy,happy harvest

[RagWeedDWC]

Thank you

[RagWeedDWC]

Seeing a little droop after nute change, will top off with a little pump up and then increase PPM to approx 1000ish out next week. Worried about my ph, both tubs are reading 6.7 and 6.8, but waiting on a better meter to confirm. Still seeing some deficiency on the leaves.
Currently it is.
PPM 800 in 6 gal reservoirs, Advance Nutrients
Sensi Bloom and hydroguard. This works out to about 25% of recommended dose,
Grow 1 Flowering 42 days
Grow 2 Flowering 7 days

[RagWeedDWC]

Had been doing that but seeing a drift every time I test, ordered a new one. The strips I use to verify are close, but I have an issue seeing colors so like the readouts. I read somewhere else on the forum about Voodoo and Sensizym, will put it on the list for next grow. Thank You.

[RagWeedDWC]

New tester arrived this morning, my meter was way off, I could adjust it to cal solutions, but within a day it would drift. New one has verified it, and closer to the results of the strips. New problems now, but getting through it. Really want to try some of the new growing and training techniques I have seen in here, but have to be patient, reason why farmers have so many kids, what else are you going to do while waiting on the crops.

[D.A.A.S.69]

RagWeedDWC. I dont know what kind of Milk you use, but our family has used the same kind of Milk, for a long time, and when I think my meters are off, or spoiled solution, I always double check it with Milk, Our Milk is always 7.2ph, but don't know about your Milks ph, pretty sure it's different than ours.
Then I just rinse it clean, not ever any problems with my meter, by using Milk, as a double check.
Loving your grows !! Keep up the good work!!

[Canuck147]

Nice looking grow. Great dark color.

[RagWeedDWC]

Thank You!

[RagWeedDWC]

Canuck147 The grow has progress and I have harvested one of the plants, but issues along the way made me come back to this comment. In hindsight, I think they may have been a little to dark green, should of started backing off about this time.
Great thing about this forum, you can go back and compare the pictures.

[RagWeedDWC]

Think my hound is checking out the grow at night.......

[Nartak]

AHAHA i see it!! Right in the middle!! And nice are those milky trichs Almost there!!

[RagWeedDWC]

I can shoot in raw,and pull the pink layer out, I mean, if I knew how :-)
Will try it when lights are getting ready to turn on.

[Nartak]

Oh cmon,i've just got a normal yellow bulb in there for the picture that need specific viewing... Not to jump at ATU but everyone is complaining about Blurple shots,i mean,it's the lights we got,we can't really remove it unless we get tech savy Which i might when i stop smoking this mexican border shit and get a happy thought lol...

[RagWeedDWC]

Same mother, same diluted mystery mix of nutrients but I used tap on the left and ph 6.0 on right. Repeating a known experiment to prove a known outcome, but better than mowing the lawn.

[RagWeedDWC]

Repeated test of scraping side of back row of clones, as you can tell it is very effective.

[Nartak]

There you go ATU

[RagWeedDWC]

Can not find the hair again in tonight's shots, but did take pink color out.

[Nartak]

Oopsie Im fine with it as long as i see them before they get smoked...

[RagWeedDWC]

Have discovered the solution to my air flow issue bringing in dog hairs.
NO DOGS ALLOWED :-)

[alltatup]

RagWeed, that is cruelty to animals and I'm going to report you.
