Some buds from the very bottom of the larger Coco plant

Been smoking bottom bud / swag for a week now its been a life saver and one of the reasons I don't lollipop

After the photos snipped them up then left to air dry for tomorrows supply.

Not sure how well the crystal will show up used the cell phone to take them thought I would try anyhow.

Will post the 7 day update in some hours bye for now

I take all my lowers off, I see your benefit from
Not.

I still get a lot of suckers that keep my needs met

Almost forgot about the PPM Guide I plan to use

Nutrient Solution PPM per Stage (Suggested)

Indica's
Seedlings and clones 300-400ppm 5.3-5.5 ph
early vegg 500-600ppm 5.3-5.6 ph
middle vegg 600-800ppm 5.4-5.6 ph
late vegg 800-1000ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
early flower 1000-1300ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
middle flower 1400-1600ppm 5.5-5.8 ph
late flower 1000-1100ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
ripening 300-500ppm 5.4-5.6 ph

sativa's
seedlings and clones 250-350ppm 5.3-5.5 ph
early vegg 300-500ppm 5.3-5.6 ph
middle vegg 500-700ppm 5.4-5.6 ph

ripening 300-500ppm 5.4-5.6 ph


Don't take it as gospel , its something I found online and will try it out somewhat.
Never know if the plants will like it unless they get a chance with it

Currently my base water is 125ppm micro Grow and flower are at 400 and cal mag is at 150ppm

PH down added 150ppm for a total reading of 825 ppm , a strong dose by any standard at this early stage and still not a sign of leaf tip burn (yet)

That chart is horrible, especially for your buckets. If you go "1300-1600ppm" in a bucket you'll fuck your plants so hard they'll be compost in < 24 hours. Just sayin'.

 

[LEDBud]

Missed lights off so the update was put off to today ..

I like that nutrient guide up to the point where it ups the ppm to over 1000

I used no higher then 850 ppm with these plants , 1000 ppm caused tip burn

750 ppm is what they seemed to like best this round.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



10 weeks 7th Day of flush using light nutrients.

Last Friday 1st day of flush

30ml 0-10-10 Kool bloom for 75 ppm increase when mixed with 23 gallons of 45 ppm water with 23 ml of dutch master Zone water conditioner the only other additive.

PH as is at 6.9

Midweek top up

20ml Astroflower

20ml Cal-Mag

20ml Micro

15ml Potassium Silica

Last top 2 Days ago

30ml Astroflower

35ml Cal-Mag


Looks like the flush will be at least 10 Days more , the Bubblegum's have begun to yellow strongly whereas both the Coco plants have *just started* to yellow.



Below are a few photos of the lower branches

Been smoking buds off the absolutely lowest branches from the above plant as pointed out in the photo

The Coco's bottom Shag supply is going strong despite three bud harvests

Been snipping the end buds and leaving the rest to fill up , the lowest set of branches have had three sets of buds removed so far.

Bubblegum

Larger Coco

The Coco matured the fastest oddly so as they are sativa dominate and grew lanky as Sativas do.

Flush Smoke Report


As I have been Vaporizing Bud for a week here is the flushes affect thus far

Day 1 to 4 ~ Tasted cardboard like

Day 5 ~ first hint of good flavor was noted

Day 6 ~ Buds have officially started to develop a fruity flavor that pleases.

Day 7 lower buds have not been harvested yet I am expecting the Buds to continue developing flavor over the flush period.


ppm 150 to 200

PH 6.5

Temperature Day 75* , Night 70*

Humidity

Day 55%

Night 50% ( with dehumidifier in tent )

Light system changes

Last Tuesday

To allow for cool temperatures for an increase in terpenes both 600w cooltubes were raised up and unplugged for the duration of the flower.

The panels are spread about providing a cool atmosphere with softer light much like the fall weather does.

I think it will work well for the flush period with the reduced nutrients

Led Power Draw - 840 watt

Current PPM reading is 185 I am not going to Top up with nutrients for the rest of the flush.

They will be left to yellow out and develop their flavors instead of grown as big as possible.

That about sums it up for this weeks update

Remember keep positive and positive things will follow.


Peace

Harvest day


Flush update as noted by Vaping Bud from the Larger Coco

Day 8 ~ Tasted nice like well flushed bud

Day 13 ~ Tasted similar to Day 8 only a little better


Day 13 smaller bubblegum , first time Vaping it

Tasted sweet smooth and flavorful / well flushed


Still have not tried the Larger bubblegum , although it and the other plants have now been Cut trimmed and hung up to dry.

The plants have been on a 48 hr light cycle for the last week

12 hrs on 36 hrs off

Flush duration ~ 15 days

Pre harvest photos

Trellis netting zip tied to the tent frame in a 360 degree circle makes for a instant drying station.

For easy record keeping each plant was hung on one of the four sides.

Coco

Closing remarks

Remos nutrients did a fine job on my maiden dwc run along with DM Zone Sterile res.conditioner

The overkill aeration of 85 lpm from two pumps in 22 gal nutrients also helped it come together so deserves its mention.





And Completed

 

[Spitz]

I kept my mouth shut for 12 weeks as requested. Just have to break the silence. Those plants are sick! Awesome... simply awesome.

 

[LEDBud]

Thanks Spitz , your a champ for sticking it out for those 12 weeks , an outstanding 420 citizen and future Stoner haha

Something to note is the littlest bubblegum bud took up almost an entire side of the trellis although be it a smaller section , still it had a whack of Bud under its leaves out of the light and sight. Sneaky little plant might have more then 4 1/2 Oz on it.

She tastes smooth sweet and fruity

Still haven't tried the larger bubblegum out I want to wait until she is dry proper like

So far without a cure the two Coco's are tasting like two completely different strains one floral and one like coffee and chocolate

Now that the grow is completed ask any questions or make comments and suggestions , tips are always wanted.

Im *always* researching to grow bigger faster stronger plants its a quest make that an obsession.

With that said I like to help as well

In the immortal words of Abraham Lincoln ( a known stoner) there is no time like Vape time

Peace in , its vape time

 

[LEDBud]

Here's a photo of the rdwc giving birth to 4 plants , its alive its a Alive !!


Well sort of its a functioning ecosystem that requires little attention especially when the plants are small like this, the nutrients will not be need to be changed for about a month.

Using 100w Chinese cobs over each plant to start them off.

220w power draw


Currently making cree and citizen cobs for next round , can hardly wait to be all led


After that harvest I am hooked on Remo's and now that i know what Im doing ( it was my first try at rdwc ) going get better results yet , take it easy Remo Fans and enjoy your bounties !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mostly used

PH 6

ppm 750

62* to 67* nutrient temperature

Massive air 85 lpm with 16 air stones

 

[Spitz]

They look "from seed". Do you care to share the make/model? My Bubblicious from Nirvanna was huge! I think this was my first experience of "hybrid vigor". I had 5 plants in there and she may have outperformed the entire crew. I'm not sure how related the Serious Bubblegum and Nirvanna Bubblicious are, but they both reference the same history.

Anyway, she's a very light/smoothe smoke that's very "sweet". At least that's what I'm told. I sure wish I had a "pot snob" to share with. Lol

Looking forward to the COB run from you. I'm about to fire up my Cree 2x 4x50W for 400W of Cree COBs. I can't wait to follow along... good luck!

 

[LEDBud]

Hey Spitz , they are from seed alright , feminized, two LA Special on the left side and two OG Kush on the right

Its looking like another runt this round , the smallest kush in the right corner is still half the size of its sister. It might turn itself around , who knows.

Im expecting good things from the bigger kush , its taken right off in the last few days.

The photos are less then a week apart They are two weeks old first week in the rdwc
------------


The Bubbicious of yours was a nice one , I will have to try the strain out from that same seller , it does have the vigor
Got to like that !

OG Kush is reported to have large vigor as well Not sure about the la special It a sativa indica hybrid so it stands a good chance.

I'll be busy assembling lights this month Have 18 cree. Chips and now 10 citizen 1212 chips to mount , might buy more yet found a seller who lets them go cheap at $16

I'll keep you all nformed ! Spitz nice lights you got there. Hint to others , Timber is a small company - plug - check them out they are a sponser on the site

 

[Spitz]

Just a thought... I know you have air stones in each of your buckets. Where is the runt in regards to your recirc reservoir and do you keep a airline run to the recirc res as well?

How do the temps vary in your 4 buckets? Probably just genetics, but, challenging your environment nonetheless. Peace!

 

[LEDBud]

The res is on the right of the Runt but the runt was put in position nearest the entrance so I can enter easy later on.

I placed the smallest seedling there last week to assume the position who knows little fucker might do alright , its there for the duration now.

I placed the Runt there last time as well.



For air each of the buckets has air and the res has the 65 lpm pump and a load of stones.

The seedlings are getting all that air despite not consuming much of it they get to enjoy a full shot of o2 with every sip of nutrients.


I had forgot to add in the Silicate so mixed up a batch diluted it Ph'ed it and added in over the course of the Day. You need to be careful messing with Silicate , it should of been mixed in the water first to avoid a lock out issue. I babied it into the mix to reduce any chance of lock out.

The Silicate is going supercharge the growth rate / stalk size and branch length. Its a good thing to use in the first few weeks when growth is slowest before the Vigor kicks in. During the Vigorous growth the Silicate fuels the plant to build healthy branches etc etc

Can you tell I like Silicate

The temperatures are steady and 100% even in all buckets and res as it recirculates itself 14 times an hour.

During lights off when the room temp drops the water temp would lower by 5 degrees then at lights on it slowly heats back up 5 degrees by lights off and repeats. So it went from 62* to a high of 67* or about there abouts

This grow as a test Im using a warmer temp by moving the air pump to slightly warmer location to maintain the temp between 66 and 68 degree night and day.

 

[LEDBud]

Well the Runt turned out to actually be suffering from a broken stalk , earlier when just sprouts a led panel fell on the seedlings I had thought they escaped uninjured that turned out to be false.
Last week on the first day of 12/12 cut it above the break and made a clone out of it.

I'll update the thread with the pre harvest pics in 3 months for those who are curious

Remember to Study and keep moving forward keep improving your techniques that means Studying not just asking people to solve your problems.The key is to NOT make those mistakes in the first place or correct them fast and you will be rewarded for your efforts !

 

[Teddy Edwards]

Hope all is well in your world.

Thanks for sharing this grow with us.

I’m moving this to Completed Journals now.

Have you started a new grow you would like to share with us?

If so, please feel free to start a new journal here: Journals in Progress

Sending you lots of love and positive energy.

Hey, I will also try Grow Nutrients for the first time. Can you share with me how was it for you and witch doses you think are the best?
