Round 1 sucked. Plan to improve all my mistakes and make this one worth it. Instead of using indica or sativa I decided to order a feminised pineapple express Auto by Barneys farm. And also a northern lights auto by royal queen seeds. I plan to order a blueberry auto next payday and auto ultimate. This run will be 4 autos with 2 air stones per bucket instead of one like my first run. I feel more bubbles will be better, less plants easier to take care of and less work. And I'm not topping my autos or defoliating all the fan leaves like an idiot in flower like last time, bad idea. I'm not defoliating at all this round. Wish me luck. Making sure no light leaks or no disturbances in my light cycle cuz I want bomb seedless bud. This round I'm not chopping early either. Made lots of bad choices my first grow but I'm definitely learning from my mistakes and trying something different now. I believe I can do much better and stop taking bad advice from online people telling me to do stupid shit. Lol I learned my lessons from the beginning. I had to battle root rot from seedlings. That was a bitch. Now I use hydroguard and keep water temps in check. Under 70 degrees. I'm using tap water instead of ro next round as my tap is only 150 ppm. Fuck waiting for my slow ass ro system to fill the tank every time. Tap water worked my very first grow years ago. So technically this is my third grow now. But I did better my first. So I'm trying to beat both them this round with 4 plants. 2 general hydroponics 4 site air pumps. General hydroponics nutrients. Flora trio, hydroguard, floralicious plus and liquid koolbloom in flower. Have a bluelab ppm and ph reader which tells me water temps. I adjust ph daily accordingly with ph up or down. Check ppm and water temps daily and log it to make sure everything is stable and not dropping ppm or rising. I keep humidity in check but need to pull some air from my upstairs of my house for next round I think. Just for some fresher air in the basement. Don't want to pull air from outside without a proper filter. And winters coming soon so I can't soon anyways where I live in Michigan. I plan to do my best this next grow. If I fail I will give up but I'm not giving up without a fight. Seeds and low yield last round. Trying to improve yield and prevent hermies this round. My 2 main objectives. My plants looked beautiful and healthy til I defoliated all the big fan leaves. Then nute burn. Learned allot of lessons and learned all about feeding and deep water culture. The girls will be in four, 5 gallon single buckets. Can't wait for seeds to start coming in so I can start germinating in my rapid rooter plugs. Can't wait to master this grow since I failed myself my first.
