Alright this is long overdue but at least it's here.....finally!<br />
The strain: <br />
Barney's farm Liberty Haze x2<br />
Medium: modified waterpack ACS which is basically 4x waterfarms all connected together and to a main res. and a top off res that sits above the main res. This was purchased from GHE. I modified the system by adding many 1/4" holes to the top container allowing the roots to grow into the bottom res (in a DWC fashion). Airstones were added to all the reservoirs and the top water dripper works when the lights are on only!<br />
Environment: 4x4xtall grow tent. 72F average temp and the humidity was in the 50s during veg. 2 fans blowing and city culating air.<br />
Lighting: 600w MH during veg and stretch period of flowering then HPS.<br />
Growing method: SCROG using an elastic scrog net. Not the best. But its OK for now as this is my first scrog and the purpose of this grow is to get a feel for the method first before building my own scrog screen and also to experience the infamous waterfarm!<br />
Nutes: RO water with calimagic added to about 200-250ppm (any less and I get cal deficiency) and little B Essential (by GH which is essentially micro and submicro elements that I'm missing by using RO) to a total ppm of no more than 250. My base nute line is Canna Aqua @ their recommended dosage. I use their rhizotonic, boost and pk13/14 additives! <br />
I cracked the 2 feminized seeds after 12 hours in a water cup then between wet paper towels. I then placed the rooted seeds straight in the waterfarms between the hydrocorns. 2 weeks for this and the seedlings to establish their root systems!<br />
I then veged the 2 plants for 7 weeks with the screen about 12" above the medium. Knowing how much this strain stretches, I flipped the light to 12/12 when the screen was about 60% full. Today is day 1 of the Second week of flowering. As you can see in the pic, the jungle is coming along and the screen is about 80% full already!<br />
At this stage, my nutes res soln is at 1250ppm (x700 coversion) and my pH @6.0. The res soln temp is maintained at 70F ..... I use the Heisenberg bennies tea. My roots are pearly white, thick and healthy. I believe this drift is due to the buffering capacity of the soln. I plan on switching back to tap water rather than RO to see how the pH behaves! Today, and after 48h of brewing the H tea, I applied the tea then replaced the airstone in the main res with the airstone that I used to brew the tea (airstone covered with a beneficial biofilm)
