Qleaner in DWC

The aqua pro is a .5 conversion TDS meter. that means that when it reads 800 ppm the bluelab should read 1.6 EC. Aqua pro at 500 ppm should read 1.0 EC. The aqua pro can be be reset.

The bluelab has both TDS and EC but I am using the ppm one. Ok, great thanks I got the conversion now.

That looks awesome! Your doing an great job. How do you keep your petiole so green? My plants are green and healthy overall but I always wonder why my petioles are pink to purple. Could be the cause from tap water maybe?

Not really sure wht would cause red leaf stems, or keep green ones. My nite temps are in the mid 60's and ph stays around 5.5 all the time. I recently discovered that I get lockout with dynagro if I go over 6.5. Also, the .9EC level seems to be a sweet spot for my plants.

Day 32 of flower.

My 2 snow goddess seeds broke ground today. I look forward to growing some Colorado grown beans. ( my tga beans may be Colorado grown, but I don't know). I've never grown a kush, and snow goddess has a little kush in her.

I am in soil. So, 5.5 would be bad for me. I usually am at 6.5 to 6.8. However, I am trying the Hempies right now for the first time in hydro the ph for these are 5.5 to 6.0. Soon I am going to try out the DWC. My night temps are about the same as yours even I am in Cali heh.

Most of the TGA beans are from Northern Cali and Oregon and a few in Co. Yours has a possibility to be from Co. Kush Grown in Colorado is amazing if done right. I think Kush likes the Colorado, or north California enviroment. Kush gown in Southern Cali is alright depending on the grower as well. OG and Bubba does well down here.

Day 34
I am starting to see some big buds getting formed. Qleaner is behaving the opposite of the Vortex. Vortex was bushy with hundreds of tiny budlets growing on spindly sagging branches, these qleaners are all on fat rigid stems and growing nice size nugs. The one that was the fastest growing and sativa dom has smaller buds than the 3 that are more indica. I have two big tops that are triploids, and seem to be filling in extra thick.

The qleaner grow is such a joy to check on every morning. I see new growth daily, and big buds underway. The smell is really getting impressive too, especial from the mutant tri/polyploid girl. I'm not very good at describing the smells, but I'll try again tomorrow to put a label to the odor.

Getting frosty there! I'm looking forward to your aroma report as Sub seems to like interesting aromas and flavors.

Looking good man, just ran through your vortex grow and have to say I experienced similar results with "lack of" bud structure, at least compared to the jillybeans next to them... Glad to see the Qleaner is giving you fat buds, next up for me is cheesequake... can't wait to partake

Here's the vortex I'm smoking on a snowy sunday afternoon. weird little buds.

Have to admit, I freaking love the buzz from the vortex in the morning though. If only I had more to play with and get to dabbin that fine lady.

How did the grow turn out?
