First RDWC - Sweet Seeds - Green Poison - Fast Vers

My only tip is to not go overboard with nutes and you should be sweet. The first few weeks are the most important, just give them what they want not what the bottle says they need! You got SSHZ on the case too and he's a wealth of knowledge

Cheers bro!! Stoked that SSHZ is here to help!

So they seem to coming along fine. The front right one has one root which has hit the res and the front left one should hit the res in the next day or so. The back ones, I'm just waiting on their roots to poke through.

One question is it normal once they hit the res that the peat pellet dry's up more?

Had to top up today, ladies have been drinking.

One week of veg down. All but the far right ones now have their root in the res.

The far right one that doesn't have roots sticking out the bottom, was the twin. As it seems to be developing at the same rate as the others, I'm sure I just need to be patient. When I separated it, it was not hard at all to do, didn't feel like I ripped it or anything

Less than 10 days old. Wow!!! I'm amazed at the growth. Res ph has stayed stable and I had to top up the other day.

All have roots in the nutes.

Current ec 0.5 at 5.8ph

Two weeks into veg. Running 1EC @ 5.8-5.9PH.

Seems to be going sweet so far. Good root growth.

Update time. So seedlings looking good.

I was running two stones per bucket and I wondered if that was slowly raising my ph. Anyway I changed it to one stone per bucket and ever since my ph is stable....

The net pots look like they are getting moist, but not soaked.

But guess what..... I had twins. First for me

Twins. So good so far twice as well. Beautiful twins.

Growth Is just exploding away.

Three weeks old now.

Raised the ec to 1.1 last sat, been keeping ph at 5.8-6.

4 weeks veg tomorrow. They are growing hard! Roots are amazing. I didn't realize at the beginning id need to replace my net pots each time.

I had to move the big ones to the left. Amazing how they grow much harder directly under the lamp. No wonder vert is so much more efficient.

They are looking real happy . Nice work.

You should be able to cut the roots off and pull the plant out at the end. I have only seriously mangled one net pot in 7 years.

nice grow I've learned the hard way about what the bottle says they should have & what they actually need is 2 different things altogether as I over fed & set my grow back considerable

She was cold last night. Going to need to put the speed controller on the fan, as I looked this morning and it was only 17c and I'm running a 600w mh at the moment.

Are you in dwc or soil? You just need to make sure you have a good ph / cf pen

I use blulab ones. Made right here in NZ.

Basically 4.5 weeks.

Getting big haha. Still got two more weeks min before flower tent is free haha there going to be massive, so going to start topping them as they get bigger.

The biggest one is about 1.2m off the ground, so I topped that sucker at the left rear.

I'm in dwc I have a blue lab ph. & an oakton tds. The general hydroponic feeding schedule is too hot for my setup but I've made adjustments & things are getting better I just lost time getting this turned around

Update time - five weeks veg - man I wish I truly knew the growth rates as I would have started them a little later haha.

The size does concern me, but I have a bit of experience with scrog and have done a couple vert scrogs now as well, but first time hydro.

Once the flower tent is free in 1.5 weeks, ill start flowering and scrog them horizontally around the tent.

One thing I know. This is fucken exciting, wish I did hydro long ago now haha the photos don't do it justice, the ones on the right are chest high

I'm doing res changes weekly and running 1.15 ec, but I think I need to step that up as my ec has been dropping to 1 and the ph staying stable.

Fan leaves are bigger than my hand
