First Attempt At A Journal

[Northern Hydro]

Thank you @Northern Hydro for the advice. My buckets are orange. no light gets in unless its through the sides. Then it's still going through the side.

if ,
your ph keeps climbing without cause and or your roots get a little slimy , consider wrapping the buckets That might also lower your water temp ? Just early morning ramblings.

I thought about that and was planning on wrapping it up. my ph really d ok nt move until the nutes get low or my water gets old.

So I changed my water tonight and switched hoses to a black water dripper. ph 5.8. Ppm 294. 4 gal water. Water temp 64°f room temp 81°f. Humidity 45% oh and check this girls roots out.

they are at least 4 feet long. The longest I've ever seen in 1.5 months.

 

[Northern Hydro]

Those roots should be growing a foot a day ! Buckle up ..looks like she’s about to take off

 

[Joshualuck]

She is drinking so much. ppm changes 25 points some days. I had a gal of water in the bucket so I could keep the humidity high around the roots. And in 3 weeks the roots grew 3.5 feet. Into the water. Lol. She's a hungry girl. So I am planning on super cropping next on her and try to get her to quadruple in size during flower. I plan on topping the four new tops. I toped her early so I could super crop her.

probs been a year since I did a hydro bucket so I can’t help ya there ..I just focus on not killing my plants ! Haha

 

[Joshualuck]

I changed the reservoir last night increased my ppm to 28 to my PH is at 5.9. I increased the water level and add a bubbler the water levels at 4 gallons and I'm running a straight bubbler set a water agitates as well as added oxygen to the water. You can see from the picture I posted prior the roots or about 4' long and the plant seems to be thriving your are couple pictures this morning.

 

[Joshualuck]

Ok well I've been talking about it but now I did it!! I topped her again. So I topped her before and she split and the to lower limbs shot up with the new split. So I topped all 4 tops. Here we go with the new growth. we'll see how it goes. Here's the pictures and the numbers. Ph 5.9, ppm 277. Water temp 71°f. Room temp 77°

 

[Joshualuck]

Alls well this morning.

 

[StoneOtter]

Hi Josh, nice grow ya got going!

 

[Joshualuck]

Thank you @StoneOtter it means a lot.

 

[StoneOtter]

I can see you've been reading until your eyeballs bleed! It reflects in the garden.

 

[Joshualuck]

Thank you @StoneOtter yes I have and trying t ok get this mastered.

 

[JohnnieJC3]

I can tell you have had some issues and the plant is still here and with that TRUNK... she's ready to Blow up. Good Vibes to ya... love to see her cross the Finish Line.

 

[Joshualuck]

Here's today's check up.

Ph 5.9
Ppm 300
Wt 68°f
Rt 74°f

I wrapped her bucket to stop light from shining in, and to help with my inside water temp. It appears that she has come right back from being topped for the second time. I am a little worried I may of let her go to long in veg that I wont have enough space once she starts to grow buds. Here a a few pics.

I know the pictures are hard to see cause of the light but I assure you all is going well. I will take better lighted pictures later.

Plants look amazing ! I’m worried about your electrical set up thou ... if that blanket becomes a pain in the ass Maybe try aluminium foil ?
Congrats on your new tent !

 

[Joshualuck]

Everything is a mess here. I've just kinda thrown it all together, getting things as I go on. Now that I've got the tent I can set everything up more permanent. Thank you @Northern Hydro I'm trying to keep them alive with the constant moving around. They are living around all my tools cause it's my man room. I work every day and use the tools. So I'm constantly moving shit.

 

[Northern Hydro]

I think now that they can breathe they will do ok ..remember ..you only need to feed the water in the bucket .. nothing from the top, you want those clay pellets DRY
also no need to spray the leaves with anything .

They should get everything they need from the water in the bucket , and the photosynthesis in their leaves from the light.
in a week her root ball should triple in size now. keep an eye on your number and swap out your water every 7 days and you should be good

Hey Everyone I hope all is good and everyone is staying well sedated.

Hey Josh your grow is looking good over there and your well on you way now to a happy healthy plant. I just found your journal and I hope you don’t mind if stop by once in awhile.

Love the shit everywhere bro and I share your pain. I have a constant rotation of what seems to be every tool ever made. I have a room / Dogs room that my wife calls my toolbox because I lack the ability to keep shit organized in there lol.
NH is on the money here and I had my fair share of shit burn. ( power surge, bad connections, melted a 1000w epoxy filled ballast for no reason) just to name a few. Great advise.
Play safe and enjoy my friend

 

[Joshualuck]

@KCCO 77 thanks man. Your room sounds just like mine. Yeah the girls are doing good. My first is still alive and starting to make a come back. This MoJo has been thriving since germination. I'm just trying to make some friends along my way and have a good time. Not to mention all the money I'm saving on meds. But all in all thank you my new friend. Come by anytime. My doors always open.
