[Joshualuck]

What strain: MoJo.
Style of grow: Aquaponics w/ fishtank as reservoir. Medium is expanded clay pellets.

Room temp: 76 - 80 °f
Water temp: 73°f
Ph: 5.6 - 6.3
Ppm: 205 average

Nutrients: flora gro system 3 bottles ( gro, micro, bloom ) Cal-mag plus, raw kelp, Alaskan moorbloom. Miracle gro orchid food , and Miracle gro bloom booster Flower Food.

Ok so this girl MoJo is a photo I assume because I recieved her seed inside of a flower out of 40 grams of cured. Her seed looked as if it was underdeveloped but sprouted within 24hours of planting. I did not germinate I only placed her seed into grow sponge in veg box. Upon reaching 10 inches I transplanted her into a larger pot and gave her , her own bucket to flower in.

I topped the MoJo 1 month into her growth. And started lst 1.5 weeks after topping.

Right now this girl MoJo is about 2 months old and I'm posting pics through her life up to this point.

At this point she's is 3 day old.

This is at one week from putting seed to water.

2 weeks.

3 weeks.

3 weeks 3days.

4 weeks.

4 weeks and being moved to flower bucket and being topped.

4 weeks, topped and moved to flower bucket.

4 weeks 1 day.

4 weeks 2 days.

 

[Joshualuck]

4 weeks 3 days.

4 weeks 4days.

This is one of the containers that some of the flowers come in.

4 weeks 5 days. After being topped.

This is 4 weeks 6 days. However I added bloom booster by miracle gro 24 hours before the pic.

This is what I added and only use 1/2 of what it called for.

5 weeks

5 weeks 1 day.

At 5 weeks and 2 days I started to train using green plant ties. This is what I call LST or rather this is what I get from what I've read and studied.

LST pic from different angle.

This is day 3 of week 5 of lady MoJo life. It's been 24 hours since I started train iij ng the Miss and it seems that she is doing well. No sign of deficiencies or stressors I can see.

Lst - low stress training - gently bending her without smashing the stems
supercrop - breaking her insides to get her bent , but not the outside

I think ?

Well lol I think I was easy. I tried. With the corporal tunnel in my hands I dont feel nothing. So I take my time but what can we really do. I am aiming at LST but I may have ended up super cropping. lol.

 

[Northern Hydro]

Sounds like you are still winning !

 

[Joshualuck]

Sweet Thanks for viewing. I'm just getting the hang of this site. So keep on coming through and you'll be right here when she gets to her end. I can't wait. I'm gonna do what I can to make her the most happiest girl so i can make a hual ya know.

 

[Joshualuck]

Well growing strong!!!!!

 

[Northern Hydro]

this plant in this pic should be a monster ..I accidently cracked my stem like that on my last run and she grew 4 separate plants hahaha ...I would never encourage anyone to purposely do it because I think I got lucky and it could be strain dependant ....glad you don’t have to transplant like I did ! That was tricky hahaha

 

[Joshualuck]

My arsenal!!!

Just reporting in on this lil miss MoJo.

Ph: 6.2
PPM: 210
Water temp: 73°f
Room temp: 71° f

 

[Joshualuck]

Checking in this morning.

Ph 5.7
Ppm 245
Wt 78°f
Rt 81°f

 

[Joshualuck]

So last night I do a quick PPM check to see if the plant is eating. Prior to all this I had set my ppm at 2 65 2 days before. When I check the ppm it was At 212 and I was about a 1/2 a gallon low on water. Now I keep my Room temp in between 75 and 82ﾟ so I'm gonna have a little evaperation but a 1/2 a gallon in 2 days I don't think so so this tells me the plant is eating water and nutrients. So I filled up a jug a one gallon jug would water and I added nutrients the Flora gro system 1,2,3. Accept I went backwards 3, 2,1 because I believe it does better, at this stage of the plants life. I also added miracle gro (BloomBooster) and 3 ml of Cal-Mag Plus I had to do a readjusting of the nutrients to bring the ppm to my desired point. I also added a gallon of water when I set my ppm at 264. Here it is the next morning am IPH has not moved my ppm has moved 3 points to 261 and it seems that the water level has slightly adjusted right below the line she's a hungry girl. Anyway I'm just checking in with your let me know how everything's going be sure to post comments and tell me if I'm doing good or badd and means a lot to me thanks everyone.

As you can see I'm trying to keep her short and bushy. She is growing quite nicely. I'm soon to have new black hoses and drip system so bye bye algae. by the way. My algae eater died last night. I guess he over ate. The other fish are cool and growing.

I'm in!

So far so good.

Nice training.

if you follow the bible , you can’t go wrong.

Ok so here's the report.

The Mojo is growing very good it seem at this stage in her life. She just went through her first hair cut. She was getting a little bushy so I figured today would be a good time for a trim. I checked her ph when I got home from work and it's at 6.2 and had to lower it back to 5.6. Her ppm is at 240. Water temp is 72°f and room temp is 80°f. Here are some pics of the sweet girl after her hair cut.

Your bucket temp is teetering on too warm and could stunt your growth ( in my experience ).
Try to get it around 68 ...

 

[Joshualuck]

Yeah the bucket temperature rises when I leave the little space heater on. I have no insulation in attic so it gets cold in my room. Plus I dont have no h-vac vent in the room. Helps with dust and bad stuff but it's hard to keep warm.

 

[Northern Hydro]

Once you get the enviroment dialed in, the plants are unstoppable .
make sure , be positive no light can shine anywhere in your water bucket ..that is often the culprit for a raising ph.

 

[Joshualuck]

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.
