Hey Growmanzilla, 5chord and fellow growers,
here is a update on these "OG Kush" ladies, first off thanks for your interest guys helps me to keep motivated and post to my journal, at the moment i am still doing testing at this stage and finding out whats best from my experience.
So below are loads of photos with some descriptive comments of what's currently happening, please take the time to read this and hopefully we can learn together and share each others experience.
So she is looking a lot bigger and healthier then previous photos and have recently pruned her to encourage new top growth!(First time was scary)
Second lady however she is not doing aswell as the other plant because the roots haven't submerged into the water yet (my fault) but have recently filled up 3 new 25 Liter buckets @1/2 strength of dutch-pro recommended dosages.
Concoction consist of:
PH: 5.8
CF: 7 (448 PPM)
10ml - Take Root
25ml - A + B Grow Hydro
10ml - Multi Total
10ml - Magne + Cal
Look at these roots they grew so quickly i couldn't believe it not long after the plant start growing the quickest she has ever had, roots are white and healthy the camera goes weird under the 400 watt MH light
Here are some close ups of where i pruned my plant and where the new growth is starting to grow, pruned her about 2 days ago and now you can see 2 new main stem's coming along!
Big plants leaves look amazing and healthy green, although today have added some leave green dutch pro to spray on the leave's to help take up more nutrients and water.
I managed to combat the heat problem with a heater i brought from my supermarket for £9.99(Not bad) now i can successfully keep temperatures around 73 - 78 Fahrenheit quite easily with a timer (Don't forget its winter here at the moment and it cold).
So here are my hygrometers, one in the dome and another at plant level, i know the humidity is low and i am struggling to keep it up, i would buy a humidifier but i have no money after spending it all on the equipment i currently have, but i will when i get paid!
So these are the nutrients i used in my 25 liter buckets @1/2 Strength, i don't know what results i am going to get from these nutrients so if you have any advice i would love to hear it. (Nutrients are scary stuff)
Then finally just a few picture of the flower room (Gorilla 5x5 grow tent) and other equipment, i cant wait to move her in here and just see her grow like crazy but i am patient as i want her to be nice to me
Please follow me and give me your advice and comments to keep me motivated to keep posting regularly.
Keep its green, sincerely yours 420Steve!

Hey guys, i feel like such a idiot while putting in another 2 more DWC buckets added (total of 4), i accidentally snapped on of the main branches, i have put some wire tape on it to try and assist but i think it might die of course i don't want this to happen could i try turning it into a clone if it don't heal?
Here are a few photo's of them all together (Work in progress)
This is a picture of the branch i snapped
2 more new DWC buckets added with reflective Mylar underneath to help with photons.
Then just cleaning the equipment really for next week!
