Icedrgn027's First Grow, DWC stone-less, multi-strain, mainline

Another night. A little trimming/2nd top on the clones. I need to split the clone bucket into separate buckets. The roots are intermingling. Waiting on some suction cups to make one more bucket even though I could truly use 2, I only have one extra air hook up atm for buckets. I'll end up running into an issue at some point... For now just getting by with what's available...clocks tickin'.

Ok. As we start week 2 of flower, I'm thinking about looking at my neut/ppm of my flowering plants. I know it can't stay at this 550ish ppm the whole grow. As much as I love running a flat amount of all 3 Flora series. I know this is the next level for these. I have to learn more about this to keep each strain happy as they let their needs known.

Tonight I realized I never flipped the flower switch on the lights that adds the red spectrum as well as the blue. Almost looks like regular light in a weird over saturated way. Glad it's only a week into flower. I also mixed double strength neuts to top off water with tonight, only brought the ppm of that mixed gallon up to about 750ppm from the 450-550 I'm used to. I think I read I can go op to about 1100 but wanted to make sure I didn't go crazy right away. Gives me a chance to read the plants as I go.

Getting rid of my extra clone tomorrow hopefully. Cousin came by and said my photos don't do these justice lol.

I'm leaning towards giving the older LA clone instead of the younger one. The younger clone is shorter and has caught the older one in growth with thicker branches minus the stalk. Leaning towards the younger plant for the speed of growth.

Also think I'm seeing pistles. Or the start of them, so tonight we'll toss in some close-ups as well.

Crap almost forgot to post again. Those late nights early mornings catching me up lol. Accidentally let the LA grow into the light.

Sunday 2week bucket scrub. I notice 2 weeks is about right for me atm. The plant pH starts to sway more near the end of the 2 weeks and I get a chance to check my homemade bubbler rings for clogs. Some buckets did have a slight white algae, a couple had brown and one had none at all, just the salt at the bottom on that one. I also kinda mashed my LA slightly into the light on bucket change. Nothing serious, she just looks sad atm.

Late night, Late post... Took the photos and nearly forgot to post until I checked

Did it again, work has been slamming me lately. Forgot to post the pics...still took them so here they are. Topped GG clones again. I don't dig what's going on with the one clones leaves. I just haven't had a chance to look into it. Hoping it was partially from the rough repot.

These are for yesterday. 4/30/2020

Happy May 1. My pH on all buckets have been dropping. Assuming it's nitrogen being left in the water and causing it to drop. I increased the overall ppm this bucket change. I wonder if they were really ready.

First big mistake. "Auto" was not turned "on" on my lights when I turned them back on last night when doing pH and water work. This allowed my flower tent to receive about 18 hrs of light today. I went ahead and put them to an early bed tonight (6hrs extra) to make up for it, can't let them have a full 24 of light, would rather then have some extra dark...damn, hoping things around here calm down in the next week or so when my project finishes at work so I quit making stupid mistakes.

pH was low again today. So I fed straight ro water today. Veg tent was fine. Other than breaking a branch on a clone last night when I topped and gave it some braces. It's always so touch and go.

Wife had a trip to the ER. Cancer flare-up and couldn't get any relief. They got her comfortable and sent her home since it's safer for her at home. Glad I tended the plants early last night. I just once again slipped on the photos...here are last night photos. Still hoping to catch up on posts later tonight.

Ordered another light. Flower tent could use it.

I'm worried my NL might have partially hermed, not sure if I'm seeing pollen sacks. Let me know what you think in it's close ups.

Update: I believe those are calyx... Look fine.

you photos are too big. Takes to long long for them to load.

The average mature plant can EASILY take up a 2 x 2. You're gonna need another tent, ot 2

Yeah, been thinking about the thumbnail attachment method to remedy this easily with less effort on my end. Not sure I can do much about the last 4 pages of posts though...

Currently flowering 4 plants in a 4x8x9... you sure that won't do? The small tent is just my vegging stuff before I rotate it in. All getting topped and what not.

This morning...
