S.A.D. - S1 Sweet Afghan Delicious

[Underthunder]

My first attempt with DWC single bucket and scrog
Cutting is rooted and ready for DWC my room is only 6 ft.long by 20 inches wide 8 ft. vertical so it is pretty small. I have been growing for 20 years all ebb and flow using rockwool or hydroton this is my first attempt
at dwc or scrog I picked the S.A.D. for its vigorous growth. I'm using hydroton with 5 galloon bucket nuts are sensi grow A,B and a small shot of terpinator after rooted I'm feeding at about 300ppm and 5.7 ph
would like some feedback from you growers please.

will add photos soon

Can't really help on the technical side of things, but I can tell you that SAD is some nice smoke and I remember the nugs being quite pretty.
I'll just sit back and watch this baby grow.

my water temp was to low at 61 degrees had to wrap a heating pad around it now it is 73 I hope this works

Have a s.a.d growing right now it's a big nice plant mine from sweet seeds all so it started flowering in 9 days of 12/12 flip it's about 3 ft tall now at 18 days of flowering very nice plant.

I would drop it back down to 62 -68 degree I run My dwc at 64 it right spot for mine anything higher 68 and my roots turn brown .There pearl white at 64 degrees and my plants are huge.

 

[Underthunder]

Thanks for the info nuggs I've got it back down to 64 degrees.

4-1-16 the roots have come thru the net pot must be time to lower the water level now.

 

[Underthunder]

4-2-16 have lots of roots showing every thing looks good so far Sensi-grow nuts at 320ppm 1000 watt mh a little over kill but that's all I got I'm running it at 50% to start with will kick it up to 75% soon I have good ventilation in and out so no heat problems water temp is
66 degrees ph at 5.9 it seems to keep creeping up keeping it at 5.6 seems to be difficult but it still looks healthy and lots of roots should start seeing some good growth soon.

S.A.D. Sadie is looking good so far hope i can keep it that way my S.A.D. in my ebb and flow did well in the grow cycle but when i went to the flower cycle it started dying not sure why but it didnt do well for the first month but seemed to come back but it will never be what it should be my God berry next to it looks great maybe it just the difference in stains?

[Underthunder]

time to boost the ppm up to 1000 hope she can take it. What do you think is 1000 ppm to much?

 

[nuggs78]

I'm running a sad in soil I am feeding it 800 ppm it loving it she so big and frosty I would go 800 ppm that been perfect for me no problems at all.

 

[Underthunder]

Hi Underthunder,

nice looking plant there, hopefully she is still filling out nicely for ya. I just popped 4 SAD beans this week so I did a little search and your thread came up so I am subbing along for the rest

 

[nuggs78]

I'm interested in what yours smells like. mine smells of sugar skunk fruit idk how else to explain it very nice.I have to say it looks like mine go 75+ days in finish flowering she's day 53 still has long time go mine s1 to just like yours.

 

[Underthunder]

Giving her a two day fresh water flush and then back up to 800ppm I stopped tucking because I noticed that it was really slowing down the flower cycle will have to raise the scrog screen soon already raised it once but this sad seed really takes off in the flower cycle.

 

[Underthunder]

Will be cleaning up the bottom of plant today. I will not use the 5 gallon bucket again because it is just not big enough water reservoir will make something a little different next time, I really don't want to have to add water every day to keep up with this thirsty girl.

Hey Nuggs mines starting to smell fruity and a slight skunk smell still a little early yet but it is starting to smell.
