First grow Special kush #1 / white widow grow journal

Nice beginning !

I still wonder how does DWC work for seedlings if there is no pump.

We have the exact same meters :laugh:
 
I think yours is a top deed where the nutes are dripping down . Mine is a bottom feed where oxygen is bubbleing up and the nutes are just wicking up the hydroton

SK#1.1 : PH 6.0 PPM 718 . My ppm did not decrease today so I left it alone . This may have to do with the higher temp in my tent today , which reached 88 in my lights out . Which is fine as hydro can get up into that 90s range and not have an issue . But I did adjust it back down to the low 80s . Root growth over night was incredible. It was just a small little root yesterday , maybe 1/4 inch out the pot and not it is huge in just one day (pic below). She looks healthy and is doing well .

WW: PH 5.9 PPM 55 . seedling shows signs of growth and I feel like it is growing out of its deformity . Was places in hydro pot today and put back into the grow tent

SK#1.2: PH 5.8 PPM 55 . Seedling shows signs of growth and looks healthy . Was placed in hydro pot and put back into the tent .

all 3 plants in hydro pots as of today. Will increase nutes slowly over the next week to reach 300-400 ppm .

SK#1.1: PH 6.0 PPM 730
no nute increase plant is doing well and current level and is showing a lot of root growth. Will likely increase to 800 tomorrow , giving it one for day to adjust . She is healthy and growing well .

SK#1.2: PH 6.0 PPM 80
i didn’t not increase this ppm . Likely do to evap or something . Will let them stay at the Ppm for another day . She is doing well . Root was visible out the bottom of rockwool . Has not exited net pot yet

WW: PH 6.0 PPM 80
one again didn’t increase ppm . Will allow to stay at this lvl to adjust for another day . She is healthy other then the deformity and a slight discoloration of her first true leaves . Waiting to see is new growth will have this discoloration also . So far it looks healthy .

I can’t get over the root growth in the last couple of days . I’m just waiting for the veg to explode in size next . This root was only an inch out the pot 2 days ago or so and now look at her .

(Full update after lights come back on )

SK#1.1 : PH 6.2 PPM 761
lots of root growth . Even since this morning I have seen a lot of growth in the roots . She looks healthy and I expect to see a lot of veg growth in another few days as the biodynamic calendar ends it’s days of rooting today and starts it’s leaf day on Friday or Saturday . It’s pretty cool to see rooting day on the calendar and then see root growth that accurately coincides . I was a skeptic at first but I have really come to use this Calendar as an accurate source of information .

SK#1.2: PH 6.1 PPM 78
she is healthy and showing noticeable growth since placing her into the hydro pot .

WW: PH: 6.0 PPM 70
she is growing slightly slower on the deformed side but is healthy otherwise . Also showing visible growth since being placed in the hydro pot.

Everything seems to to be growing very well . A short drop in humidity over night and temp reached 88 during my dark cycle. But everything looks very good and I cant wait to see them explode with vegetative growth over the next week .

SK#1.1 : PH 6.0 PPM 845
she is looking good and starting her 4th node . Color is good and roots have really taken off this week . Upped the nutes a little and changed the res . Hoping to see some good veg growth this weekend as leaf day Saturday after 3pm according to the biodynamic calendar . And expecting I see some more root growth today .

WW: PH 6.0 PPM 135
changed res and bumped the nutes up a little more . She looked like she was dropping yesterday night but is looking pretty well today . She is standing up straight again and showing visible growth since yesterday. Her 2nd node is a little discolored on the on side but is looking better then the first node .

SK#1.2 : PH 6.0 PPM 135
she is looking good 2nd node looks nice and color is perfect . Changed res and upped the nutes a little . You can see her growing a little everyday .

Temps are good . Humidity was a little low while I was at work .

I guess I had expected 5 fingers on that 3rd. I hope the 4th node is 5 fingers. I’m ready to see those nice full marijuana leaves . But I can’t complain she is still looking really nice with nice tight nodes.
 
I’m not sure yet but I’m not doing anything till about the 6th node . I’m going to use a screen tho like your using . I seen a technique that you just tie the top of the plant down to make all nodes top nodes . No clipping no cutting . Very low stress . I think I’m going to try that out and see how it goes . I’m so afraid to top it because I have never done it before but I’m going to do some more reading before the time comes and pick something I’m comfortable with.
 
I changed the res yesterday and the 2 smaller ones really liked it . Good growth over night . Check out my update later . They are looking good . And the WW seems to enjoy the extra nutes as her smaller side seems to be filling in a bit.

SK#1.1: PH 6.0 PPM 804 WT 66

she looks good and if growing well . Roots looked a little brown and limp so I rinsed the roots generally and changed the res added hydroguard diamond nectar and armor si to give it a better defense and just allow it to take in nutes easier . Also added ice packs to my res to lower the water temp . Hopefully it wasn’t root rot but either way I have done everything I can . Time to wait and see .

WW: PH 6.0 PPM 257 WT 65

still has some off coloring but she seems to be growing well . Changed res adding all new nutes and ice packs . No root issue but being proactive.

SK#1.2: PH 6.0 PPM 260 WT 64

lookong good no issues to note . Changed res adding all new nutes and ice packs . She has started rooting out the net pot as of this morning .


I added a humidifier but it doesn’t seem to have helped any . But I’m going to leave it in as it can’t really be hurting it .
