Hey everyone , this is the progress of my first DWC grow . The plastic container is a DIY .
Comparing this DWC grow to my first soil grows , i have experienced many different things , like absolutely no nute burning , leaves are always healthy . Also i noticed that the super lemon haze takes aloooot of time to grow and specially to bloom .
I germinated the seed on the 10th of January , then switched to 12/12 on the 9th of March .
So i have vegged the plant for 2months , and now im on the 46th day of flowering .
I had the plant in the grow tent in the beginning , but i took it out since it wouldn't fit anymore , touching the led panels . I live alone , and no neighbors , so no worries .
When i took the plant out of the tent , i noticed a sudden stop in crystal and pistil production and the plant went from drinking 3 liters (1gal approx) a day to 1 liter (0,3 gal) . And at the time the plant has been kept around 5 weeks without a res change .
I then read an article about how the plant utilizes every element in the water unequally , so that made me figure out that there must have been an element that has been adding up everytime i water with nutes and thats when i finally decided to change the whole res . The next day i noticed the plant has drank the same amount it used to before around 3 liters (1gal) and some new growth . Problem Solved
But i wanted to see everyones opinion about the size of the buds , compared to my old growth i am feeling that the SLH grows reallllll slow . Is this normal ? Are the buds (size) acceptable like the way they are being on the 46th day ? (after the switch)
