420's West Hippie Grows Candy Kush & Krush, Goliath 1k MH/HPS DWC

It’s been in the making with Candy Kush . As the heading says we have the Goliath at 660 watts Mama Candy gets this light. Krush get the 1k watt mh/hps , as long as we can keep her from stripping. The totes are 27 gallon , but only 15 gallons usable. I use the six inch mesh pots that fit a five gallon bucket. As everyone knows I’m stuck on MC nutrients. We used some of the PB nutrients during veg only testing the waters . With the MC I’ve upped the cal-mag with no issues at all . Z-7 1 mL a gallon and Hydroguard 2 mL a gallon is in every nutrient mix . The water is Reverse Osmosis, my city water is 394 ppm with a 8.3 ph . Ro water 7 ppm and 6.3 ph . Both are on 6 grams a gallon of MC .
Candy was from seed on November 30 she sprouted only 1 of 10 . I think they crushed the seeds coming in through customs.

Candy has a little rust but in the area it’s on one stem. Where I super cropped the knot is brownish and the rest are green evidently I caused it . Other than that she’s on track for Monday’s res change to the 12/12 .

Had to order another 3 lbs of mc have a quart left , zon didn’t have it .

Question where do I get pink boost goddess ? Supposed to be another dietary weed , Thanks .
 
What a beautiful canopy that is. I'm in! Love the scrog, I might do that if I decide to flower some of my plants in the tent. I grow mostly outdoors and October might just be too far away without some fresh buds! Can't wait to see how they turn out. Bravo, really great looking plants
Welcome to 420 Magazine Valleygrown . She was a mother plant , it was tough spreading her out . Have you introduced yourself yet? Below on my post is a helpful link for new members check it out . Plus our sponsors and the contest to win prizes, enjoy.

The net strings were all dangling from Candy picking it up . I guess most know I do a floating net , I guess that’s what it can be called . The Perfect Sun Led Goliath has these girls shooting for the skies. I did get a little more done on her legs , pic . Killed a fungus gnat and missed another circling up to the light . Safer soap mix getting mixed asap .

Krush is praying to that MH this morning. I decided yesterday I’d add the Perfect Sun Nutrients Platinum to both grows and definitely went wild . I’ve been adding jewelry to hold her down and spread her out . I just hope my new hps bulbs come in I hate old ones , hot and cold spots .
TDS 924 ppm was 964 Rising figured uptake would have been more .

Candy has come alive since I’d been trimming her legs . The tops are a foot above the net plus she’s back picking up the net again , just go with the flo . She’s drinking as normal 2 gallons but slowed a little on the solids . This badass Perfect Sun Led Goliath as normal feeding the sun in mega doses . Maybe they’ll stretch within 10”s of the light . I measured the string and only 13”s left to raise the light. Sunday afternoon changing to 12/12 .

I would say do a lot more before you flip. Get all that new growth up above the net!

That thing looks like it's heading up in search of the missing bulb, so it could probably use more jewelry! 💎

I wished I could. I’m running out of ceiling height. In the last three days I’ve been crawling under there clearing what didn’t get the chance to bust through. And three or four days she shot up 6-8”s .
I do use the jewelry on her I take it off each morning then spread her more before I take off . I’m not going to worry about this girl till next grow when there’s not an advantage. I want to get two pounds out of the Goliath, I know we can do it because the net is twice as full as the last time I tried but only 28 ounces. That’s the 54” pvc square around her supporting the net .
I think I need to go for it.

This is the first time I've seen it. That's thinking out of the box for me. You could get under the grow if you had too. With my scrog and pvc support, I have to remove the reservoir.
