First DWC - Advice Welcome

[MrFlintstone]

Good good! So leave the mesh screen on the puck? Roots should push through?

 

[Cultivator]

yes mate, dont even worry about it the roots will grow through, shit they grow through my rubber discs on my aerocloner easily.

 

[MrFlintstone]

Yeah I know roots are strong as shit, I just thought being that young it would take awhile for them to burst through

 

[MrFlintstone]

Spoke too soon! Roots are showing outside of the peat pot, I think from it being in the little cup kept the moisture up enough to let the roots protrude without drying up.

 

[MrFlintstone]

37 days flower

 

[MrFlintstone]

Yaaaaaaaaawn!

 

[MrFlintstone]

Well about 45% orange hairs, new ones still popping out of the calyxs that are starting to swell
Most of the tops of the colas the triches are starting to cloudy up! I'll put up pics tonight, which is day 40

 

[MrFlintstone]

Well I've decided to start the flush tonight, we will have company in a couple weeks so I'd like to at least have them dry by then, 50-60% orange hairs and pretty much every cola, 75% of the colas have cloudy triches starting to look like flocked Christmas trees
And... This frees up space for me to do a little mods to the closet, long awaited changes, it's so hard to find time though. If I feel up to par tonight I'm going start modding my mother/clone cab, got some new PC fans to play with! Need to get it ready the greenhouse trainwreck looks like it might be ready for a little food

From what I've been reading a lot of people say that greenhouse seed co's trainwreck is more indica dominant and is known as alien trainwreck, anyone know anything about this because them sure do look like some fat leaves on that seedling!

 

[DSXJ]

Hey boss, very interesting I will be doing my first DWC next year so I take your journal as a learning experience!

Your TW seedling in the last pic I don't think should be fed nutrients quite yet, still a bit early.

Although I could be wrong I'm not much of DWC'r but I would think any nutrients to plant that small is not good.

Good luck boss and I am looking forward to see your wicked harvest!

 

[MrFlintstone]

Thanks bud! Yeah once I put it in the bubbler and the roots get a taste of water I'll judge it by then when and if to add nutes, and if so very little of course.

 

[MrFlintstone]

Day fourty one
Started flush

And the trainwreck in her new home

 

[Cultivator]

i would give that seedling nutes now. just 1/4 strength. a root enhancer, some b vits and a weak base nute. I too grow trainwreck, its very indica looking with huge fat fan leaves. it can def handle strong feeds. great yielding strain thats strong as hell.

 

[MrFlintstone]

I was wondering if you was gonna chime in
Once I knock off of work I'll give a light feed
Is it greenhouse you grow?

 

[Cultivator]

yeah mate most my strains are greenhouse, they do fantastic quality seeds. They are very commercial and still have quality. the feminized seeds are very stable and ive succesful mothered several strains from fem's with no issues at all.

 

[Cultivator]

did u say u had mainly access to AN products? if so try AN ph perfect 3 part. u dont need to PH and im getting great results from it. its a god send as no more ph adjusting!

 

[MrFlintstone]

Guess I should've mentioned I'm using jungle juice micro and bloom, as of now I'm hoping I didn't kill the trainwreck, got home and it was wilted, little too warm and it was thirsty, waiting to see if it'll spring back up

 

[MrFlintstone]

Got me a 40x loupe in the mail today, which is kinda obsolete at the moment because I'll be harvesting slightly early

 

[Cultivator]

it'll be fine, as long as it wasnt left too long.

 

[MrFlintstone]

I think it kicked the bucket, had company over and wasn't able to dial the new cab in, I screwed up the exhaust and had to redo it, wish I would've done it sooner, well on to the next seed, wonder what's next?on my next order I'll pick up more trainwreck seeds, I really wanna grow it, I love the buzz!

 

[Cultivator]

try AMS its a lovely stone, not quite as heavy as trainwreck but its smells fruity and IMO is better for DWC type growing. Trainwreck can get too bushy as the leaves are so thick. AMS is hardy and yields brilliantly.
