DWC Auto Closet

[423]

What's happening @423

The biggest concern I have with your DWC is your ph needs to stay up around 6.0. Other than that she is looking much better after you gave her a little trim. When the ph is too low in the bucket, it brings on a host of issues with the micro nutrients, meaning that the ph is either out of the up take area or at the bottom end.

If you get your ph under control she will take off on you with that ppm's.

Now the one in the 5 gallon bucket.

I believe what you are seeing is a sulfur issue.

Tell me everything going on with it:
1 what medium again?
2 drainage- did you just drill hole in the bottom of the bucket? If so how many and where at?
3 how do you water? and how often?
4 what nutrient line are you using for her? How many ppm's is her feed?
5 is she elevated or sitting on the floor?

I know it seem like a lot, but plastic bucket have there own issue when growing in them. I grow my veggies in them, so the critters don't eat them, and it can be challenging at time.

Tok..

Thanks the ah#2 in the bucket has holes in the corner at the bottom all the way around and a few in the very botom. The soil mix is mostly roots organic with about a 1/4 added compost and pearlite. When transplanting I made a hole for a solo cup sized area and it's fox farms 70/30 coco.
I think my circulation fan might have been an issue. Too much air drying out the dwc plant, and not enough for the soil plant. I moved it up and hopefully will also help.
If that works and dries it out better maybee I can boost with the nutes some more often.
Looking back the AH#2 didnt get nutes when other plants did only spring water accept one light dose of the dwc nutes and most recently the cytoplus.

Accidently left only the cfl on for about 6 hours today, same light schedual. 2nd time ive done that this grow. As a routine I hookup the cfl then unplug the led, open the door and take care of the plants close it back up plug in the led and unplug the cfl.

Okay,

Try drilling some holes on the side'

Pulled a gallon of water added 3ml calmag 2ml silica blast, and 4ml ph up
Gallon ph'd 7.0 ppm 766 then added back to the resavoir final mix
Ph 6.5
Ppm 594

I almost started another amnesia haze today. I'm going to have to think on that. If im gona grow mini plants Im gone need more of'em.

 

[423]

Okay,

Try drilling some holes on the side'

I got that drilled out more finally I used a half inch bit and drilled about every 4 inches on the side at the bottom and another row 4 inches above that all the way around. out. I think it'll probably help the soil was still super soggy on the botom. I think it'll have to dry out better now than with just the1/4 inch holes.

Ph 5.8
Ppm 594
Ah#2 looks much happier just a bit of water
Og kush heavy flowering? Preflowers? Was pretty dry Watered heavy
Critical lights no water needed
White Critical Little change at all removed shade

 

[423]

Ph 6.0
Ppm 630
AH#1 streaching a little more
AH2 looking better I moved the cfl from blocking the light added some lst
Og kush looks like she appreciated the water
Critical lights is spreading out fast now.
White critical is hibernating or frozen in time I leaned it up on a support so maybe it will know wich way to go if it wakes up.

 

[423]

Resavoir change 5gal ro water ph7.3/ppm18
Silica blast 10ml
Calmag plus 15ml
Pbp bloom 40ml
Hydroplex 2ml
Hydroguard 10ml
Initial Ph6.4 ppm 573
Ph down 2ml. Ph5.3

Im going to aerate the mix with an airstone hoping the ph will stabalize a little higher then adjust if needed, before switching resavoir.

Ph 5.7
Ppm 584
AH#1 resavoir changed and buz cut part of the plant accidentally into the circulation fan, short cord little room
Ah#2 lst adjust and moved closer to the light
Og kush leaf damage on the bottom fan leaf against the container. Moved away from light
Critical lights. Moved away from the light.
White critical was dried up and the root broken. Proped it up with perlite and watered. Not looking real good but there is still green to it.

Making some progress on a flowering space to use the closet more for just veg and autos and a 4x4 to flower. I just set it up. Compared to my closet project it seems like I should be able to grow an acre of weed in there.. Ive gota finish setting up and check my tempratures. This will be in an unfinished basement cmh possibly cmh/cob 4" inline fan.

If I can take some clones soon Im tempted to start the flower tent with these and then add more clones for a later harvest. So instead of filling with one big cycle it would be smaller.
Or if I want to keep theese two as mother plants for a super long veg then go outside with them next spring and try to make some biggens.

 

[423]

Topped the og kush and critical lights. Clones attempted. Dipped in clonex, put in rapid rooter in a solo cup and covered with a bag.
Put up the divider for shade again.

Ph 5.8

[423]

White Critical is out making room for the new clones. That made all 3 white critical were noshow and now there's no more chances for a while. I do have some beans from a previous clone in a friends garden. I hope to try those sometime soon but they will be regular.
Skunk free garden I guess this time,Kush seems like it could turn out to be pretty aromatic. My closet has been smelling nice from the Critical Lights and Kush fow a while now and Amnesia is having a lovely smell too.

 

[423]

Ph 5.5
Ppm 552
Og kush doesn't seem happy about the topping
Critical lights doing good after the toping
Ah#1 maybee too close to the light leaf edges turned up new growth is a little pale
Ah#2 continued improvement and lst. Still letting the soil dry out a little more. I hope to get at least one good watering with nutes before it starts flowering.
Clones just chilling out in the shade, hopefully making big roots.

Ph 4.5
Ppm 594
1 gallon ro added ppm29 ph6.1
Resavoir ph 5.3 ppm 440
1.5ml ph up to 5.8 @450ppm

Ah1 seems like she's still taking off and looks like it will really out yeild my previous attempts at an amnesia haze auto.
Ah2 is getting closer to getting watered/fed soon
Cl seems unfazed by the topping
Og Kush still seeps droopy since the topping

 

[423]

Seems like the ah1 has went from volleyball size to basketball size in 3 days. I think this is supposed to be 4 weeks flowering. Hoping the next 3 days go as well and she'll fill the space out nice.
The extra mutant branching is making some nice budsites without any lst.
Im wondering how much yeild is untapped off of my slow start, but excited about what could be around the corner.
If I were more dialed in for the ph I think some defoliation could help with more light to lower budsites.
Ill not do any big defoliation keeping more leaves for making the plant easier to read and available nutrients. I will go ahead and pick some previously damaged leaves.

Ph 6.1
Ppm 430

Nutes for AH1
1 gallon ro
Silica blast 2.5ml
Calmag 3ml
Pbp grow 15ml
Liquid karma 3ml ph 6.2 ppm 925.
Airstone placed in jug fo aeration
I'm only expecting to use less than half a gallon on ah#2 im also going to feed the Critical lights&og kush.

If theres anymore than that left if be tempted to add it to the ah1 dwc plant. Its been growing fast and Maybee depleting the nutes pictures are before feeding

 

[423]

Ph 5.7
Ppm 500

I feed/watered the photo plants full strenth 16oz a peice.
Added hydroguard and diluted for AH2 light watering no runoff 32oz.
Remaning half gallon was added to AH1 in the dwc. I think a boost of veg nutes might help the stretch dont want nitrogen or silica in short supply. Og kush was looking beter after water mefore I even finished with the other plants. Part of what I thought was topping stress really just needed a drink.
The ah1 is getting pretty exciting, I look to see if it's grown exery chance I get and it has. Probably as I type even...

 

[423]

Ph 6.0
Ppm 450
Ah1 I wasn't gona do it and probably should have been earlier if at all but I tied down and spread it out a little with lst and closer to supercroping becouse of stiff branches. I damaged a couple fan leaves putting the pipe up to tie down with.
Ah2 I think is doing good with the nutes and the soil seems to be drieng out better.
Cl ready for watering again soon
Ogkush ready for watering soon
Clones removed the bags to spray a little water on the rooter plug put the bags back on for another day or two.
Closet is crowded and tough to do anything in there right now.

I moved my thermometer to the tent as the closet seems steady 72-86 on temperature around 50% humidity

Removed the humidity bags from the clones and misted the rooter plugs and top of soil, also misted the clones good. Replaced the shade again. Ill try removing the shade some soon.
On the tent its a 4x4 with a 4" extraction fan, 315 cmh horizontal bulb. Its on concrete floor in a damp basement so far temprature has been low.
