My Very First Grow Journal: BC Big Bud Grown Indoors In Soil

Hey @Backlipslide thanks for tagging @West Hippie in here for me. I’ve actually creeped through a lot of his stuff and read over a lot of the help he’s given to other people. He seems to really know his shit and I’d be pretty lucky to have his help along the way. Now I got 4 dwc buckets set up now. What I did was set the buckets up then took plants that I already had planted in my soiless mix and I took them out and knocked as much of the mix off the roots as I could and then rinsed the rest off with water and then placed the in the buckets. Unfortunately I could only find white buckets in my town so I had to set it up with those but Friday this week I will be making a trip to Edmonton and getting black buckets and proper lids. I’ll post some pics here shortly of the setup!
 
trip to Edmonton
How long you going to be in the city for? I’ll be at work for the majority of the day, but if they would make the trip, I’d love to give you some of my clones! I work in the city but live about a half hour south of the city, so it probably wouldn’t work unless you were up for making it work lol:passitleft:
 
I’m in , you have done a great job with your girls!
To me you have got this !
Thanks man! I got a lot of learning to do but I know I’m in the right place for that!

This week will be a short trip. I’ll only be there for a few hours. But I’m in the city every other week and now since I’ve been dealing with WCB I’ve been there a lot more often lol. Next time I’m out for a couple days for a WCB visit we can make something happen!
 
Alright got in to the tent for pictures. I noticed some spots on the one plant for sure. I’m thinking it’s a cal or mg issue but I’m not surprised as the ph was well over 7 :oops::eek: but I’m also not surprised by that as I was gone all day yesterday and didn’t get a chance to get into the tent at all. Dropped the ph down to 5.6 and I know it’ll slowly rise from there but I’ll be keeping a closer eye on it now. Anyway here’s a couple pics of what’s going on. No roots to show on the 3 plants in the white buckets as they haven’t found their way down to the water yet.

Do you have any Z7 ? With those white buckets are not going to help the roots. I actually run Z7 and hydroguard but I like white roots.

I’ve been looking in to getting Z7 but from what I’ve read it’s not easy to get in Canada. I could be wrong though. I was actually going to ask you if you had any recommendations on another product that would be readily available to me around here that could be just as beneficial

Canada has it Z9 , I need to go to the flying skull site and compare !
 
FlyingSkull does have you covered !
Z9 - Canadian Formula
These products are specially labeled for use in Canada. They are not available in the USA.
* Freezing temperatures may delay shipments *
 
I was looking into this but I’m not sure if it would be the same type of thing or not. Like I said I still have a lot of learning to do :D

I ran it for three years ,but I still put Z7 in . Z9
 
I did check out the z9 a few days ago. I wish I could get it locally. Its $50 for 16oz plus another $50 for shipping. I’m gonna check some shops around Edmonton and see if I can find it there! Thanks for the help man
That’s expensive, ours is less than $44 for 32 floz

Ya man, Canada sucks. Seeds are crazy expensive, a lot of supplies you need are either unavailable or wayyyyy overpriced, the food quality led lights like budgetled for example is wayyy more expensive to Canadians than in the states. It’s frustrating sometimes but I mean there’s a lot of people here that are doing a hell of a job growing so I guess it can’t be THAT bad I just like to complain :p
 
Hey one last question for you fellas. I hear a lot around here about mega crop and I know that you are using it @West Hippie so what I’m curious on is how simple is it? Is it pretty easy to get everything dialled in with it and have you needed to add extra supplements in with it or is it good to run just that straight through to harvest. I can get 1000 grams of it for about $20 delivered so I am wondering if it is worth a shot or not.

You’ll be patting yourself on the back after you get it . I didn’t add anything till flower , saw some rust very light rust so I added 10% of what it calls for on the label . I must have been on the verge of popping the tips when I added the calimagic. I was on 6.5 grams a gallon then dropped to 6 grams a gallon. Just slight adjustments!

Alright I’m ordering it. It works out to be a lot cheaper than what I’m currently using. And 1kg should last a decent amount of time hey? Sorry for bugging you so much lol you’re definitely a very busy/requested man on this forum!
