Are you able to get Orca in Canada? I ditched the hydroguard for Orca because not only does it have tons of other beneficial microbes (and it's water soluble), but it also has bacillus amyloliquefaciens which is the active strain in hydroground. Hands down best beneficial microbe on the market for hydro growers.

Funny you mentioned not doing res changes as often, I was just talking about that in my journal. I haven't done a res change in 59 days (Feb 4th) and it's crazy to think how much money I was dumping down the drain when I was doing them religiously every week.

Thanks for sharing the link, I'll get it out.

I ran barneys LSD like 12 years ago and had a few later flower bananas. Nothing that caused me issues but I didn't have any plants that were earlier in flowering to get pollinated (no perpetual). Just wanted you to know so you can keep an eye out.

They are small beans aren't they. lol I remember that too, never saw cannabis seeds that small. I thought they were immature but they had the right color.

Anyways, best of luck and happy growing!

I do see Plant Success Orca at Amazon. That stuff ain't cheap! $96 for a half liter ouch!. I think I'll just stick with the voodoo juice for now. I can get 1 liter for $85.

@Renfro thanks for the info I'll keep an eye out for late in flower. I tore a plant down a week early last grow due to bananas. Kinda kicking myself for that now. It was my second largest yielding plant and was less than a week from being ready. Just panicked and pulled it down.

Quick update. 3 weeks from Seed. The plants started turning pale on Friday and were very pale by Saturday morning. I decided to do a res change a little earlier than I had planned. I upped the nutrients to 50% strength, about 300 ppm. By Sunday everything was nice and green again. Kind of odd since the little starter leaves aren't even starting to turn yellow yet.

One of the leaves looks like a bug has been chomping on it. I used a jewelers loupe to inspect all the leaves and didn't see any bugs. I haven't caught anything in my sticky trap either. This happened last grow as well. One leaf looked like it was eaten and it never progressed passed one bad leaf.

Roots in the photos are stained from my nutrients. It freaked me out last time and I thought i had root rot. I've been told this is normal.

This morning the plants were all very droopy. I'm at my parents dog sitting so I've only seen it via a web cam. I had my partner check the PH and PPM and everything is well within range. It's the last photo with a timestamp, sorry about the quality. Is it possible that the nutrients are too strong? I'm not seeing any burning just droopy clawing leaves. She'll send me a better photo tonight when she's home from work.

Looking good - I wouldn't worry too much about the slight droop or clawing at this point. My guess is they're most likely just adjusting to the increase in nutrients.. :leaf:

Looks good LG, funny you should mention the bean size on these from Barney, because these beans I have from them are among the largest I have had to date, and dont get me started on the massive beans from Crocketts Family Farm, damn....

Nice! ...still looking great - gotta love the vigorous BF genetics! Your tent is going to fill-up fast - were you planning to screen them this time 'round?

@Axion42 :oops:

Sorry I haven't been keeping this thread updated. I started flowering yesterday. I had some issue which caused me to be away from the garden for a few days. The water level got down too low which caused the PPM spike over 1500 and the PH was around 7.4. It took a couple days, but they recovered nicely. There's a few crispy tips here and there.

I had to install a portable dehumidifier in the basement. With the weather getting warmer, we've been leaving the windows open and it was getting really humid down there, between 70 and 80%. I think once we close the windows and turn on the a/c it should go back to 45%. The small 2 liter dehumidifier I keep in the tent was filling up and turning off in under twelve hours.

@Mellow old School I had only seen bag seed and the northern lights I grew. I assumed all viable seeds were roughly the same size. When I opened the Barney's seeds, I thought I had been ripped off.

@Dayzt I don't think so, I have a trellis that came with my old tent if need be. I move the front left plant out of the tent to access the ones at the back. On my last grow I damaged a plant by stretching over it to access the plant behind it. It split vertically where it was topped. It never fully recovered and hermied on me.

Yea closing the window and Ac on will help your humidity problem. It's so dry here in California my problem is low humidity but I've solved that now. Your plants don't look too bad really, roots look good they'll recover quickly, probably already have. Are all your buckets connected?

Each bucket is independent, I don't have a chiller and don't really want to buy one after seeing how much they cost. The buckets are at 68° sitting on the concrete basement floor.

Looks like we're going to be more than two weeks before it gets warm enough to turn on the a/c. The portable dehumidifier is working, I just hate using inefficient appliances. How did you handle your low humidity issues?

If you're water temps are 68 without a chiller you're golden! I built a swamp cooler for my tent. Drops my temps about 7 degrees and increases humidity. I hooked up the swamp pump to a humidity controller, right now late in flower I keep humidity at 45%, controller will shut off pump and when humidity drops to 40% it turns back on. This pic was after I built it, not complete but you get the picture, 4inch inline fan goes on top and runs into my grow tent. Works so damn well, 15gallon tote lasts me about 5 days before I have to refill it.
