White castle is the strain-
-Nirvana's White Castle is an F1 marijuana hybrid of two absolute winners. With a White Widow mother and our award-winning Ice for a father, White Castle marijuana seeds are as outrageous as one would expect. The sturdier, denser structure of Ice really thickens up the often light and wispy White Widow buds. White Widow's flavour, strength, and social high remain very present in this cannabis strain. Medical marijuana users are extremely fond of White Castle for its pain-killing properties.



Advanced nutes- Sensi Bloom part A&B, bud candy, big bud.

-week 1-

They are clones going straight into flower.

Its been 3 days since the roots hit the water and they are really taking off.

PPM 130 (using only sensi bloom right now)
PH 6.0
 
How many days old are the plants in the photos? When did you take the babys from mom?

Was mom in veg, early flower, or beyond 21 days into flower?

The plants came from a mother in veg, My mother plant is well huge. But you can take clones after about a 1 and a half months of straight veg. I put the clones straight on a 12/12 lighting once they were done cloning. The roots wernt even in the water yet before they went into 12/12 it took 2 days for them to to hit the water. The plants in picture are about 5 days from when they were done cloning. 2 of the clones are alot bigger thats only because I cut them bigger.

The plants are really taking off. I would say atleast 4-5 inchs of grow withen the last week. The buds are starting to form.

PPM is around 190
PH has settled around 6.0

Here's a update:

I must say the plants are doing AMAZING!!! well except one....
I added a CFL on it to see if I could help it catch up.
I also still have the nutrients at 190 PPM to help the lil one catch up. Even at that low of ppm the other plants are taking off. I must say they seem double the size already of when they first started.

Any feedback or suggestions are welcome :)
 
I have found that by adding a 160 gph or so water pump with a self made PVC manifold makes for more root growth, keeps the roots cleaner, and more nute uptake. Forget about the nozzles they just clog. Just drill into the PVC with a bit big enough to make a piss size stream that will not clog.

Aero makes it easy to burn the plants so go easy on the fert.

My res temps are 60 and that is with the heat from the water pumps. The pump keeps the fert in solution and can help filter debris. I run mine one hour on then one hour off 24/7 with a cheap timer.

Heres a fast forward a couple more weeks to go. A lesson learned is when ur growing clonees make sure there all the same size when u start out. The two larger plants blocked the smaller plants from getting light and what not. I had another girl I grew before this that was the same size as these when I cut her and I got a over a ounce. So Im gussing It will be the same here.
