I cloned my current plants in flower about a month ago. Here is a pic when I first transplanted them to the 3 gal. Buckets!

Here is a pic from today which is day 21 of veg in the buckets. They have been topped a few times randomly and I plan to lst them, today I added cyco xl to the rez when I changed the water. I plan to lwt them go for 2 more weeks and see what happens before I flip!

Here is a better pic that's further away to compare to the original post this is at day 21

Looks good man. Make sure to look out for the pH sink when you use XL. The super phosphoric acid drops it but just add some pH up and it'll run fine thereafter. If you top up, be careful if you try to add XL again.

Thanks a ton for the advice man when I put xl in it took my pH down to 5.8 my water is terrible and normally is 7.8+ from the tap! I shouldn't have to top off my plants in veg just yet unless they start really drinking the water with the xl in it

The XL is loaded with pure phosphates. Make sure to prevent too high of a temp spike but letting temps go up to 80-82 can get you more of an effect out of it.

With the heat we have been having locally it gets warm in the veg room for sure with the light on! 80-84 then down to 69 with the light out

Ok here. We go I changed the water in my babies on Thursday and added cyco xl, also started to LST the girls. Everything is rolling right along. Temp is between 70-80 rh is 30-45% and my ppms on these girls are right at 700 let me know how I'm doing y'all! This is day 23 from transplant.

Thanks man! I tied all the branches down to the bucket and within 12 hours they started turning back up! These should be some strong ones! Ill be posting pics more often! Growth is really visible on the daily now!

Good job. Watching the thread for updates

those are some healthy looking ladied but beware of bending out too much i once had a pineapple express that was topped and trained so the main branches were horizontal and long story short i walk in to check on the girls and it completely split the stalk from the weight of the buds

Thanks I had that issue on my current bubblegum, I just put a ziptie around it at the stalk amd I took the string loose and it mended itself but I guess that was accidentally super cropping right? ?

In my case it was a 4 ft tall with a 3x4ft canopy that was topped half way up. So the split was half way down the plant where the stalk was like my thumb it looked like someone took a mini hatchet to her and split it like a dry log

Even duct tape couldn't fix her lol

Holy shit yeah I noticed mine as soon as I did it but about 3 days later I had to cut the zip tie and tie her back down!

I do wish they made net pots that would fit my 2 gallons because they only come with 2 gallon inner buckets with holes drilled in them so i have to fill the whole bucket with medium. I feel like I'm not technically doing DWC at this point

There is only about an inch of open water under my inner buckets where my airstone sits so its more of a shallow water culture

Lol how do your air stones even bubble??
