i slightly over filled the water in the buckets by about 5 litres by the time the plants have drunk it up the ph will be at 5.8. i'm not used to using ppms so this grow i'm just watching and guessing. i'm leaving 2 weeks between water changes and following the gh veg guide 7ml of each per 10ltr. when the ladies have drunk 10 ltr the ppm has dropped 120ppm so i put 10ltr of nute mix in if there is no change in the ppm but the ph drops to 5.7 i put 10ltr of normal water in. they are looking really healthy.
due to timing issues i'm going to start flowering next week giving about 2 weeks of veg left. the next water change i'll be following the lucas formula

good luck with the split one :/

so its been about 36 hours from when i split the stem. it doesn't look like its slowed the growth and the tips are still green and good. they have six days till 12/12 switch

hi first off the split. 2.5 days have past and it still doesn't seem to have effected the branches. i'm expecting bud loss i have put a dose of rhizotonic in the mix and its pure fingers crossed

now for the growth rate of dwc these are over the last 2 weeks. sorry about the last one i cant figure out how to flip it

i upped the grow part of the gh nute formula thats now running at 10ml with the micro at 7 and the bloom at 7 this looks like the last time i'll adjust for the veg stage. gonna be switching the lights on saturday and the following saturday will be the water change with the 8-16 bloom formula.

lookin' good bro!

the heat has risen and i decided to switch a day early. LET THE STRETCH BEGIN. my lights do most the work at night but the over lap into the day would have stressed the plant to fuck. i also ordered a new reflector should help with the heat . they have nearly filled their space and with the stretch over the next week it should fill the rest.

one of the northern lights is a bit stunted but seems healthy the 2 stars have bushed right out. they drunk 20l of water over the past 2 days so i topped off with nute mix 15ml g- 10ml m- 5ml b per 10 ltr. over the next week i'll up the b and lower the g.


the split has had little effect on the grow so far. the branches are developing good healthy shoots

i got to say dwc is a piss easy way of growing, its more watching than work. hopefully the bloom is just as easy

you are right, dwc is easy but VERY unforgiving if you don't look after the plants every single day. i'm talkin' algae, pH fluctuations and stuff like that can fuck up everything in a few days.
but yours seem healthy as fuck dude!

cheers mate. my grow space is in my smoking room and i spend alot of time in there as most tokers would. the first sign of anything happening and i'm on it. its been a week with out changing the water just topping off and i have noticed the ph changing a little bit faster than normal, i was going to give it another week then a change out but i reckon the hard water will force me to change out in a few days less. these ladies are thirstie 12 hrs gone and they have drunk another 10 ltr. next grow i'm gonna get a topp off res set up
