First Grow: Tangerine Dream Auto (Hydro)

lol @bobo420 & HomegrownGenetics I love all your perspectives. This is going to sound funny...I don't smoke weed but I want to grow the dankest most beautiful plant possible. And reading all your comments is really helping me do more and more proper research. Once I harvest I still don't know what I'm going to do with it. I'll definitely smoke a bud or two to see what my own stuff is like but after that I'll probably just end up giving it away to friends. I've always been fascinated by the plant and all it's compounds. And by the way I believe I'm seeing a few very small yellowish blotches, very taint yellow. I think it's from not changing the water and having a pH fluctuation. You can't see the yellow tint spots on the leaves from the naked eye unless you look extremely close but I do I full inspection of my plant like twice a day so I notice every little development. To be fair I haven't changed the water in almost 2 weeks and I remember the man at the hydro shop said once a week. Just checked the pH and it looks like it's at 6.9 right now. Way high because when I first mixed the nutes and PH'd the water it was around 6.0, so I'm going to change the water first thing in the morning! That's about 12 hours from now, hopefully the taint greenish yellow spots don't turn full yellow.

@bobo420, true. That makes sense. Let's see what happens! Haha I really like @Tenacious_Trichromes grow too. Man he has explosive yields! But he uses a lot of nutrients during the flowering stages so that probably has a larger impact on the yield I suppose. This is the recipe I’m trying to follow as well: growdiaries.com/diaries/1294-tt-runs-northern-cheese-haze/week/5807, just a much more diluted proportion since he grew in a different medium. I guess there’s multiple ways of going about a grow, eh? I have a Feminized Blueberry Kush seedling too that just sprouted, maybe I should split-test the two with one having nutes during the seedling stage and the Blueberry Kush plant with only RO water for the seedling stage to see what the overall effects of the grow are.

she doesn't need so much nutrients at the moment. no need to go overboard ;)

You can try that and see for yourself, that's the best way to learn anything ;) And about the nutrient schedule... to me, it's about finding what's best for you and what works best for you in the conditions you have. Not all strains need the same amounts of anything nor they react the same way - one nutrient feed that one plant might take with no problems could seriously hurt and damage the other.
