HELP- first hydro build and grow

[Gator]

Even when the outside temperature was in the high 90' s the basement temperature never went above 72

[Gator]

I've been running the light at 20% power getting around 150 ppfd so I turned it up to 40% and now the plant is getting around 300 ppfd, just wondering if I should turn it up a little bit more, maybe try to get around 500??

[Wayzee]

I reckon Keep it around 300 for a week and see how she handles it, I think 500 too much for this point in time.

[Gator]

This is weird looking, I've never seen anything like it, I'm not sure if it's even a canibis plant now

[ductwizard]

i've seen that b-4 and i cant remember where

I grew a raspberry parfait a few years ago that was a mutant,faciation I think it was called,
Main stem looked like celery and the cola looked like an open hot dog bun

Bowhunterwoody hydryo is easy, soil is easy, coco is easy... It's just a matter of which one works best for you and is less hassle for you to deal with on a daily basis. It's like riding a bike, its always easy once you know how. I do all three, hydro is my preference but growing stout dank effective flowers is always the goal
Gator I've learned to avoid top watering by keeping the reservoir slightly fuller and using jiffy pods to start. This keeps the stones wet enough to keep the pod moist but not wet. I found with the large deep ceramic stone reservoir the pod need to be a little lower and you for sure need something around the top of those large opening to prevent light seepage. I've been doing hydro for over a decade and I know for sure this works.

[Gator]

This is the weirdest thing I've ever seen,I honestly wonder if I should keep it

[Wayzee]

Definitely weird man. How many laterals is she up to?

That looks a little familiar. Could it be a PH problem? I run the autopot system with a reservoir and grow in coco. I had my rez PH at 6.1 and unbeknownst to me the PH at each pot was 6.5. I was kicking my own @ss by not checking the PH in each plant's tray. Now the rez stays at 5.6 and the trays are steady at 5.8-5.9 right in range.

[Ckbrew]

It has issues. Is that an auto? Keep it or start over, tough call.

[Gator]

Do you mean branches, maybe 3 right now

[Wayzee]

Yea, mmmm if you have seeds on hand or can get more quickly and it has a better start probably only take 2 - 3 weeks to get to the size that one is now, and will be a better yield at the end.
That's how I'd be thinking about it anyway.
Always hard putting them down though.

[Gator]

I hear ya,a gamble for sure, last mutant I grew turned out to be some fire, maybe I should keep it just to get the experience with hydro,who knows, shit might go crazy in the next few weeks

[ductwizard]

its not costin ya much to keep it is it? if ya dont need the space and can keep taking care of it what do u have to lose?

[Gator]

Funny, I've been doing research on dwc, doesn't seem to be much out there, nobody goes in to detail

[Gator]

Something like this might work,or I'm going to build a solar sail and get the fuck out

[Gator]

[Wayzee]

What's that for?
