TH Seeds Ultra Sour DWC Nextlight LED Cyco Nutrients

[HydroGrowLover]

So just an update, I turned off the top feed rings as soon as roots hit the water so its been off for probably 15-20 days now. Was wondering if I should turn the rings back on or just let them go since they seem to be happy. I was wondering this because I feel like there might be more root growth in the grow medium with the drip rings on. I didn't change out my reservoir this month at all. The water stayed at around 6.0-6.2 ph. The reservoir is just now about to be empty so I will fill it full brim (14 gallons) for this last two weeks and for the stretch then switch over to flowering nutrients. I love cyco nutrients btw it really requires no thinking and I am literally going off of the back of the nute bottles for instructions. I used to try to do the whole PPM thing but I always ended up with nutrient burn. Clean run so far and I appreciate all the input you guys have had for me. I think I am going to order some seeds from Herbies Headshop later on this week.

If I get 10 ounces total from these three plants I will be happy. Here is the newbie question of the day that will probably get a troll answer but what do you think I will yield off this?

those look nice you could flip now & do good I don't know what kind of stretch you're gonna get I have the mkultraXbubblegum & it is not much of a stretcher so far I've moved her outdoors View attachment 3719781

Nice looking tomatoes, I saw your thread and saw you moved your one plant from th seeds to soil outside from the waterfarm. I wish I could grow outside so bad......... the feels....

I think waterfarms are meant to be ran with he drippers on due to the large volume of hydroton in the top chamber

I turned the drop rings on so I hope everything is ok. I have it set to run when the lights are on.

Will be interesting to see how much they stretch after the flip. Might need to look into side lighting

Never tried side lighting so I threw my t5 next to it lol lets see if it helps.

That's actually kinda beastly

Ages ago I tried a similar setup with vertical t5's in the corners of the room. It actually worked well but the wiring was annoying so I tore it down @ next grow. Been tempted to try out some of the newer 4ft led tubes @ 3k during flower though. The single ended power on the new'ish ones would make the wiring simple.

These days I just lst the shit out of emm lol.

do you think its even worth having the t5 on the side like I have it? It raised the room temp from 75 to 79 degrees and I'm concerned its going to warm the water to much for the results. I always have the feeling I'm doing something wrong. My girls have been chugging water the past two days after flipping to 12/12. The reservoir is already half empty and I just filled it 3 days ago. Should I add the potash now or wait until I switch to flower nutrients?

I only really mentioned the side lighting because the weeks shortly after the light flip they're prolly gonna grow like mad @ height, and they're tall already. Tall plants indoors can be a pain in the ass.

I've never run Cyco nutes, normally I run moab during the first week, then a few times again during flowering. But I have to cut my other nutes in half while running the moab. Do some reading on Cyco, they may have some specific system.

Flower Day 6

Added potash and I am going to switch to flowering nutrients on the 10th which is 9 days of stretch. Or do you think I should give it a full 2 weeks before switching to flowering nutrients.







Side lighting

Lots of new growth underneath the plants. I take the new longer stems and pull them through the side to make them grow as new tops as there is not a lot of room for new growth.



Side shot



View from where I sit



Why is this leaf curling down??



Any suggestions on what can help my grow would be appreciated. Or just sit back and watch my grow that is appreciated as well.

Flower Day 16



All in all looking pretty good. Seems to still be getting bigger everyday so I hope the stretch is nearly done. The one stalk is over 45 inches from the bucket. Use the sidelighting as a scale that is a t5 with 8 4 ft bulbs. Just a quick update. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

 

[HydroGrowLover]

I will probably get trolled but what do you think it will yield. It covers a 5x5 area with one led that is pretty impressive, better than my 1000watt hps experiences. Average height is about 40 inches from the waterfarm.

Flower Day 25

I turned off the side lighting because I am afraid of it catching fire. The leaves were growing into it and dying. All and all though it is looking pretty good. Got some nice buds coming in.

 

[horribleherk]

haven't checked out your grow lately my how time flies I'm developing a fondness for the waterfarms but you gotta watch out big plants drink a lot my single plant uses up 1-1/2 gal daily so I added the bottom half of the 8 plant system reservoir so now my single waterfarm has a 6 gal capacity when I get a bigger light & 4 waterfarms I'll use the complete 8 site reservoir my scrog is pretty full & im figuring out my next move as the mkultraXbubblegum is vegging outdoors while the pinkpanties finishes offg

 

[HydroGrowLover]

One of my plants fell under the weight of the buds so I have to string it up tomorrow. I really was hoping that I didn't have to do anything, since I haven't done anything so far.

Flower Day 39

I hope these three plants start to bulk up a little.


The only decent branch to show off



When it fell it snapped and my buddy had to come over and Mr. Miyagi that thing lol

 

[horribleherk]

you've came a long way a scrog would help in the next grow it looks like those cyco nutes work

Yea I am hoping they start to swell up or I am going to have a ton of popcorn buds. Which is ok I mean I'll smoke whatever. Next time I will definitely be lolipopping my plants. Scrog will probably happen as well. I guess you just let it grow into the net?
