Josh's dwc (chemdawg)

[Josh]

They look extremely healthy, mate. Mine are rarely that green when in flower. You should get a decent crop from them.

Thanks aspie, just hoping I didn't load them up too much again. I have a tendency to overfeed in hydro

Looking very good mate, keep a close eye on the strength of your nutrients. See some of the tips are a little yellow, last thing you want with such a stunning looking grow is to a) have nute burn or worse, b) nute lock.

Quality training mate well impressed.

Thanks man, I did slightly burn her day 10 but I downed the nutes and she's feeding again. Ppm is dropping with water level. Should be good now you think?

As expected you are on top of things.


Yeah mate you have it in control.

If you have any suggestions just let me know, you guys have way more experience than me. Thanks viz

I know what you mean, but IMO, I think it's better to be slightly overfed at this stage rather than being underfed.

Thanks for the reassurance aspie I think I'm going to stick with this strain for a while so I can get it dialed in for once, the green crack was a very heavy feeder but this chemdawg seems to be the opposite so far

Hey viz so over the past few days ph has dropped from 6.0 to 5.8, water level is dropping quite a bit but the ppm has crept up from 710/720 to 730/740. She looks healthy and buds are still forming nice but is this a sign that she isn't taking in nutrients?

I went ahead and added plain water, which lowered the ppm to 670 or .9 EC.
What do you think? Early sign of nute lockout possibly? I'm scared to run plain water/flush because I don't want to stunt growth

Thanks in advance

seems like a fairly small creep in EC, i would personally do exactly what you have done and lower the PPM/EC to accommodate.

just keep checking how she handles it bud. hopefully a flush wont be needed as your paying very close attention :)

Day 35 of flower

Watsup growroom! Sry I haven't updated in a couple weeks, long story

So as much as I hate to say it, should have listened to Nanook and took the Torus ph thing out a long time ago
The plant basically stopped feeding or taking up water, also heavy yellowing on some fan leaves so I checked the reservoir and discovered the onset of pythium

All I can say is that the Torus is completely useless, and not changing out my res every week or so resulted in a disaster. After cleaning the res and running h2o2 over the roots I pulled the torus out to inspect and noticed the end cap was coming off, which resulted in a leak I'm sure.

The best way I can describe it, is it looked like there were millions of tiny metal shavings floating in the water. I'll never use a product like this again, fuck that

Why reinvent the wheel, right? From now on weekly res changes.

So here's the current status...
She's back to feeding and looking better than ever! Buds are swelling nicely, looking about a week behind schedule but no complaints after what she's been through. Lucky to have her alive still

Been running recharge again, which is beneficial bacteria. She's responded great and has exploded with some new white roots. I was going to try and run a sterile res but you can't buy pythoff here in the states and peroxide is too expensive for an every day additive. At least for me

EC is back up to 1.3, ph steady at 5.8

Shoutout to Nanook for all the help, thank you bro! Your guidance is appreciated

Weekly updates from here on out!

Peace

Day 43 flower

Watsup growroom

Super busy this weekend so a late update.

Last week added a bit of grow feed that I had lying around and it seems to have helped immensely. I wanted to go the whole grow with maxibloom but it was killing me knowing the plant needed nitrogen and I was doing nothing about it.
Next grow will be maxigrow along with maxibloom

Switched up the room a bit, needed my air cooled hood in the veg dent because that's my only dimmable ballast
She looks just as happy under the 600 double ended bulb though
Had to use my 8" fan for extraction due to the extra heat, but got it installed and temps are almost the same so that's good

Made a lot of mistakes on this one, but I'll learn from it and make this next grow even better

Ppm is currently 800(1.3 EC) I added 700 ppm of bloom and 100 of grow, she seems to like it. Buds have nearly doubled in size since last week! Ph is steady at 5.8at res change and drops to 5.6 a week later. Works for me. Dropping about .05-.1 EC also so she's back to feeding

See you all next Thursday for another update
