Colombian Gold In Hydro By Gwhunran

[CaptainLucky]

I got these as rooted clones from a fairly mature mother plant, so I can't say a plant from seed will act the same way, but here goes:
The plants are super vigorous and have soaked up the nutrients I've given them in the flood and drain and would probably take more, but I never go over the mfg. maximum recommendations for the amount of water in the reservoir. So these plants are not nutrient sensitive at this point. They are stretching nicely at day 13 from flip, and the big question is how long will they stretch and how tall will they grow? They started showing evidence of flowering at day 7 from flip.

All very useful information that I thank you for. CL.

You won't have any trouble if you get this strain.

Colombian Gold
Day 14 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket will have to be changed tomorrow. Bubbling very slowly. Day eight today.

These plants are really fast growers It was just one week ago that they were just starting to show their sex and I was still tying things down to the first screen. One week later and I'm sorting the fuzzy headed stalks through the 2nd screen, 12inches/30.5cm above the 1st screen.

Colombian Gold
Day 15 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

CO2 bucket being refreshed as this is being posted.

The plants are still growing in high gear. Explosive stretch in my little 4x4. The 2nd screen is just about covered, then there won't be much more adjusting. Just let them grow.

The PH is staying stable but dropping. PH up has been used in small increments over the last couple of days. New reservoir scheduled for tomorrow. First Flowering reservoir. Currently on Transition reservoir.

Beautiful grow you are filling that net.

Thanks Keith. It was easy to fill. They are showing no signs of slowing down. I wonder how much they'll grow above the 2nd screen?

We will see, I hope.

Colombian Gold
Day 16 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The fresh CO2 bucket is bubbling strongly. I'm sure the Golden Tiger next door is getting some too.

Reservoir change this morning. Added General Hydroponics recommended amounts for 17 gallons in Early Bloom.
Added 60ml CalMag+ and PHed 5.8-6.2. I will wait a few days and if the plants like the new reservoir, KoolBloom(0-10-10) will be added.

The plants are still stretching hard.

Colombian Gold
Day 17 since flip.

The grow area is running normally. I say this each time, meaning all the equipment in the grow is running as expected, no malfunctions.

The CO2 bucket is bubbling strongly.

The plants look like the new reservoir is agreeing with them. If they look good this afternoon, I may add a very small amount of KoolBloom(0-10-10) to the reservoir.
The plants are still stretching hard. I may get a lot of growth above the 2nd screen.

Colombian Gold
Day 18 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket is bubbling steadily.

The plants are still stretching hard. Many of the stalks have seven nodes above the 2nd screen as of this morning and showing no signs of slowing down. Did a little more adjusting of stalks through the 2nd screen. The spreading out is all but finished. I'll be raising the light to 30in/76cm above the canopy, probably this afternoon.

The plants look really good.

Colombian Gold
Day 19 since flip.

The grow area is running normally, but I found a little water mess this morning as a air hose came off one of the stones and was blowing water out of the reservoir.

Simple fix.

The CO2 bucket is bubbling away.

These plants are just exploding in stretch. I did move a couple of branches to even things a little more. I can't remember if it was before or after I took pictures.

Day 20 since flip.

The grow area is running normally. The air lines have stayed put since I had to push one back onto it's weighted hose/line.

The plants continue to look super healthy and stretching hard. Lots of bud sites showing on all those nodes.

Colombian Gold
Day 21 since flip.

The grow area is running normally.

The CO2 bucket's bubbling is slowing a little. A week old tomorrow. When a bucket starts out bubbling hard, it usually finishes sooner than one that starts out bubbling slower.

The plants are still looking very healthy with good color. They are still stretching hard, many stalks are 12inches/30.5cm or more above the 2nd screen. This strain has already shown that it will at least double in height during stretch. At least this phenotype.

Thanks, I moved a few stalks towards open areas by attaching a pipe cleaner loosely and pulling the stalk towards the open area to take advantage of the light. They are too tall now to push under the screen and redirect.

So no adjustments needed to the ec in veg through flowering? Interesting , another Sativa that likes nutrients. CL.

Nope, I've been giving them General Hydroponics three part liquid nutes at max recommended amounts for 17 gallons of water. I'm also slowly adding a little KoolBloom(0-10-10) to the reservoir a few days after a fresh change. So far the plants aren't showing any signs of burn, even the tips.
