First Time Grower: Indoor DWC Critical Purple Autoflower Grow Journal

[Rifleman]

Take this for what it's worth....and what you paid for it, LOL.....I use 4 gallons of solution in my buckets. When your plants get larger and blooming it is easy for them to drink a gallon or more a day. Using only 2 gal will reek havoc on your ppm and pH when you get to that point.

Also if you use H2O2 you will kill all the beneficial bacteria you've been trying to establish. DWC can be done in a living bacterial environment or a sterile environment. In my opinion it is much easier to run a beneficial bacteria filled reservoir than a sterile one. Your mileage may vary, but you should be aware of these things.

Good luck.

I get what you're saying and yeah I understand just gonna continue the hygrozyme but question are you using 4 gallons in 5 gallon buckets ?

Yes four gallons in standard sized five gallon buckets. Water level is about an inch below the netpot. Several of my grows are documented in my journal if you're curious. The link is in my signature.

Day 40 critical purple auto
Roots are trying to grow back

Purple kush feminized dat 29
Topped this morning

 

[xZenn]

I see roots are still trying to recooperate
PhD back down to 5.5 ppm at 500 both bucket temps are 66-68 °F

This purple kush is taking off so I left her ph at 6.3 but her ppm is like 1219? Not sure why 2.5ml of micro grow bloom and 5ml calmag also the hygrozyme.

Purple kush feminized update -

I topped again at 4 different spots this time and removed whatever was under that wasn't getting light, not sure if this was a good move but well see.

Critical purple autoflower
Did a res change 10 ml of cal mag 2.5ml of micro and grow roots accelerator and 4ml of bloom and hygrozyme

Purple kush feminized
Res change 4ml of micro grow bloom and hygrozyme 2.5ml roots accelerator
Started lst and tied her down to the net pots one of them accidentally vent to far hope she'll be okay

here are the results of the tops I did earlier back I did top again on all 6 main branches and all tops are growing good only one came with one shoot cause I pinched the other.

as you can see both of the tops have grown another four successful ones

You should put some tape on that break electrical or duct to help it heal. Leaving it open may lead to infection.

 

[xZenn]

Added the net, kinda lose but you guys think it'll work?

 

[xZenn]

I topped and this one came up with 3 shoots

 

[xZenn]

Purple kush
Healed and knuckled up I defoiliated and lst all 4 branches

 

[xZenn]

Decided to make it even and gently bent it till it was, no snaps thank god

 

[xZenn]

Critical purple auto
Buds are getting a little bit denser how much longer should I keep adding nutes and how much ?

 

[xZenn]

Gorilla glue auto joined us today gonna top feed with a spray bottle and water the plug until her roots pop from the net pot

 

[xZenn]

Added plant ties this morning and it's nice and even

 

[xZenn]

Critical purple auto Day 62

Purple Kush day 51
Decided to flip to flower, since the critical purple and the gorilla glue are autos I figured they'd be fine.

 

[xZenn]

Not sure why the gorrila glue auto inst happy

 

[xZenn]

Critical purple auto
Bucket change

Flipped to flower last week or so but when do I consider it actually flowering?
Added 5ml of micro, grow and bloom hygrozyme and 2ml calmag

Gorilla glue auto trying to pull through a root finally popped out the netpot
