The Great Auto Showdown

Hard to decide which strain is doing the best at this point 🤔

Blue Dream'matic:

Or Cream Cookies:

😅

Unfortunately my mutant didn't really grow to be much of anything and the remaining 3 got a bit of the root rot and failed to thrive.

Plunked some more blackberry to replace the Cream Cookiea because I am loving the colours:

That tent is doing pretty well by my standards:

Not exactly a Spidermite quality canopy by any means but at least I haven't killed them yet. 😂
 
I dont think so given my recent bad luck stunting my last batch. I just finished bending each main stem close to 90 degrees though. Trying to LST earlier than first grow
 
ocgreen Topping is how you get those nice even canopies, it wont stunt your plants but it will increase your yield ,Your plants look healthy so your doing everything right we all have grows that dont go well ,its real easy to do that for a weed its pretty finicky lol, I check my plants in the green house everyday to see what branches caught up to the main and top them ,theoretically you could fill your tent with one plant by topping it
 
Well boys I just topped the 4 biggest. Will likely top the top left and top right once they get a little bigger as they're a couple inches shorter than others.

They seem to be doing well under just 1 quantum board dimmed to 80w at 36" --- no wonder I nuked my last ones when I had them under 2 boards at 260w each at around same height.

Showed my wife these pics last night and told her that learning enough to make a "Spidermite quality canopy is the end goal".

You're officially a standard of excellence in my household. 😂
 
Thanks for the compliments. I just like to grow things so spend alot of time with the plants. So I get lots of practice. Love growing inside, outside, and in greenhouses.
 
Everything is looking great. I just got my Blue Dream-amatic from fast buds. Looking forward to starting them next month.

As far as the strain that didnt grow both me and Retodd had one strain refuse to grow. I'm not going to mention the strain as the company more than made up for it. The company that shipped had apparently miss stored the seeds. The actual breeder of the seeds fixed the issue. It wasnt fast buds though.
 
I have to accept at least partial responsibility for Cream Cookies not thriving. Reservoir temps went higher than they should early on and so on.

BlackBerry has been a real welcome addition to the garden and more in lime with my current skill level. Overall it's a really fast flowering (8 weeks), durable and beautiful plant. Haven't tried any yet but I seem to enjoy anything crossed with the OG.
 
I've been batteling with low ph this whole grow for some reason. I'll have my res dialed in close to 6 and in the morning it's a 5 or lower. Every day I've been adding ph up but I can't seem to get it to stay in optimum range. The only variables that I have changed are I've gotten a larger air pump and I've changed my ph up and down brand. The reason I changed was because I was experiencing this problem with my last brand too. So I don't think it's the solution causing the issue. I gave my dwc system a good cleaning with h2o2 before starting this crop. I try to keep my res Temps as low as I can but they stay around 23 degrees. That hasn't seemed to cause issues before. Roots look good but the leaves are pretty twisty and today I've noticed some leaf mutations. Just wondering if anyone has had problems with ph like this and what the cause may be and how did you correct it. I just flipped to 12/12 last week and they already really smell. Want these girls to finish as strong as possible.

Yes I'm running it 24/7 and no co2. My grow room has my furnace and water heater in it so there could be some excess. I have no way to test co2 levels tho. The pump is at least 4 times more powerful than my old one. Figured more o2 would be better. I've also always been under the impression that when doing dwc the aitlr must always be running. Am I incorrect?
 
My schedule is sometimes kind of funny and I end up in the garden at like 11pm. I need to take a photo from 15ft away, you can't even see that thing blended between a whole bunch of delicious plants
 
I turned off the small pump that I have running 1 stone in my reservoir. I'm also thinking about running a line from the intake on my pump to outside fresh air.
