Yeah 1 gpw especially for beginners like me is probably impossible but that's my motivation :) I am okay with 0.6 or highest 0.7 gpw. I am going to veg them 7 weeks in 20 liters pot with Biocanna line. So 3,5 weeks veg and 7 weeks flowering with my autos and 0.4 gpw even with heat stress and last two weeks issues with overfeeding. So with good care 0.6 wouldn't be so hard imo. But i don't know. We will see day by day.

Do you have pictures from your 7 week harvests?

Not entire grow or last weeks but i have some from early flowering. They were Autopilot XXL and White Widow Autos.

This two pics Autopilot XXL at day 38 and 39.

Gotcha, I was curious to see what the buds looked like at a 7 week harvest. Could be a bit early.

If you really want some yields take your 4 seedlings here. Make 16 clones and stuff that tent full and flower with 2-3 weeks veg time.

it will be so much cheaper on your electric use and even time. Let alonehow much easier to make yield goals.It’s very difficult to train/ maintain and actually bring a seedling to a 8-10 oz plant in a tent.

it’s easy to make 16 2 oz plants tho….

I don't have time for taking clones. I have to finish harvest before mid Jun. After mid jun temp increases dramatically where i am living at. So my last grow ruined because of this. So i will skip summer times always. So taking clones from them and root them and veg them then flower them will take me to the July or even August. So maybe i can do that at September. But it's not possible now.

Update time.

Day 14 since breaking through soil. End of week 2 today. Yesterday night after lights on i watered them with "Light feeding" chart on Biocanna. 2mL rhizotonic and 2mL vega for 1L water. I didn't go for run off this time because after saturating at first watering it took 10 days to get soil dry. I watered until i feel moisture bottom of fabric pot but no run off. Then went to sleep and at the morning when i open tent wow they loved it :)

Next grow i will go for RDWC. I never went to hydroponic videos or topics before. Yesterday night i wanted to check what is hydroponic grow and saw that it's so much easy than soil. You don't have to check soil if it's dry or not or anything else. Just fill reservoirs and let it grow with right PPM and water temp. Plants taking their needs anytime they want from water. That's brilliant.

No, not easier. Only different. Hydroponics (especially dwc), comes with it own headaches. It may get somewhat easy, once you get your setup dialed in, and a routine down. Until then, it'll make your hair gray prematurely. Potential power outages will keep you up at night.


Imo, stick to soil until you figure that out, then maybe switch to dwc. Not trying to discourage you, just inform you.

Btw, the plants don't take what they need from the water. It's basically force fed. Your nute ratios need to be more precise as a result.

Yeah ofcourse it's not just burry seed and get harvest. Anyway i am checking my grow 3-4 times everyday. Checking all leaves, soil, temp, humidity etc and sometimes i sit on chair and watch them :) So changing reservoir, checking pH and ppms everyday is ok for me. I like to spend time in grow room.

I want to try it but i keep thinking until harvesting this ones.

Lol good luck. I watched a lot of those hydro videos when I first started hydro. They may it look easier than it really is, by showing you all the good, and very little of the bad.

you have to do that every day. and even then the ppm is for everything it doesnt tell you if you have too little magnesium or potassium.alsoo you have to look after the state of your reservoir.
find a good nute if you switch look at the few grow diary's from people that have similar water as you

Maybe in winter yes but in summer times between end of May and end of October its 30-45C where i am living at. 45C is around mid July to end of August. So almost half of year is pretty hot here. Even in Feb its 20C now outside. My 80 squarefeet room i am sitting right now is 25C without any heating/ac on.
