Yo guys.
Since I started my second grow I got a lot of help from members here because I had some problems with my DWC setup and some folks were faintly "requesting" for me to make some kind of journal. I only have a very tedious method of making pics of my ladies and since I'm a lazy cunt, I probably won't update as much, like once a week or something like that.
Also, tomorrow marks the start of week 3 in flower, so I'm kind of late with this, but I guess the other threads where I requested help already had a lot of pics from vegging.
Anyway, since I don't really have much personal experience, I can't really comment on the status of my ladies, but I think they are doing well so far, considering that I (almost) had a serious root problem which somehow disappeared almost entirely on its own (I helped a bit with some h2o2).
Enough talk for now and on to some pics:
Lady #1: Was a late bloomer but came back stronger than expected. Is now a bit taller than #2, but not as bushy. The branches seem to be stronger on this one, though.
#2: Started strong but was hit with the root "problems" the most. Now slightly shorter than #1 but more bushy. Had to defoliate more than #1.
Both next to each other: (Mind the distance between them, I can't put them any closer because they are both so bushy that they touch the walls to some extent.)
More pics coming next weekend probably...
PS: Sorry for the terrible image quality. I'm using a severely outdated smartphone with a horrendous camera.

- I have 2 S.A.D. S1 from sweet seeds which I vegged for 6 weeks due to the root "problem" and because of that, they are now more bushy than I anticipated. Kind of feels like the 70s in here lol... even though I wasn't even alive in the 70s...
- I'm using 400W lights and switched the bulbs out after week 1 of flower. My grow space is very limited, sadly, but the ladies rest in (way too) big buckets and I had to change out my air pump, because the compressor was too powerful for this small of a setup. The resulting violent bubbling was probably the culprit for the root problems I had earlier. I will switch to smaller buckets once this grow is done, too.
- I have the GH flora trio nutes and right now, my ppm is at about 500-520. There appears to have been some very slight nute burn because I tried to adjust the nutes. Apparently, SAD either requires only a very small amount of nutes or the rather dry environment of the grow space (35-40% RH) made the ladies drink more than they normally would. At this point, it doesn't seem to be a problem though, at all... Also, I'm using tap water and it already has a starting ppm of about 170.
- Room temps are varying from about 19°C when the lights are off to about 27-28° when the lights are on. Since it is winter season here and snow begins to fall, I leave the lights off during most of the day. This way, my water temps are reaching from 19-22°, which seems ok.
- The bubbleponics pumps which pumped water to the bottom of the net pot are turned off at this point, since I don't really need them anymore.
- I've removed some of the lower growth because in my opinion, it was way too bushy with too many leaves not getting any light at all. There is still a lot of growth which doesn't seem to receive light and my question to you guys is, if I could or should do anything about it or just leave it as it is?
