RQS Pineapple Kush - First Grow RDWC

AfricanGreen This is my First time RDWC Indoor Grow, on the left of my setup is this feminized Pineapple Kush from RQS. Unfortunately i have not kept a journal as of yet and the girl has been vegging a a few weeks already, topped and fimmed, Sorry about pictures, phone has cracked lens.

AfricanGreen Brewed a Vermicast/EMO aerated compost tea, added that through netpots, Seems to be keeping water clear and no slime, plants growth seem to be enjoying it, there is new white roots as well, will see how this goes for a bit, if nt ill give the chlorine method a try. I built a peltier cooler but doesnt seem to cool the res efficiently enough, not for the amount of power. Busy with an arduino kit to sense most of the conditions. Plant is not growing as fast as the honey cream Update. 6 days later and i've decided i should probably start the flower, ive flushed the plant and now change the res out. the plant is growing quite nicely those Effective Microrganisms seem to be helping since i added and kepping the water clean. and i have been adjusting the timer down to 12-12 over the last few days. and should start my flowering in a day or 2. ive added more 3000k led this week to change spectrum

AfricanGreen Plant seems to be responding to the E.M, they stretching nicely. worried i may have vegged to long, but will see what happens

AfricanGreen Plant seems to have filled out a bit, had to do some defoliation and tucking for stretch and fan leaves

AfricanGreen Increased water drip ring size for bennies, added more small red led's. Day 17 - added about 700ml of EWC tea brewed with E.M, Vermigro , and mycoot through the net pot. Day 20 - raised the lights slightly and tucked more leaves

AfricanGreen Day 22 - More tucking of fan leaves, added a few more cfl's to try help the flowering along. flushed plant during the night. Day 23 - Added about 800ml of tea (E.W.C+E.M.+MycoRoot+LiquidSiliconPlus) through each net pot Day 24 - Raised Lights

AfricanGreen The plant is getting some frosty leaves and nugs just hope they bulk up. but I do feel i let this grow get way out of hand for the space and light available. Day 29 - Added another 20L to res at half strength nutes. Did quite a bit of defoliation as there was not much light getting to the lower buds. This plants have been stretching like crazy so have had to cable tie a few down Day 30 - Added 400ml of Tea ( 5L water, 2 cups E.W.C , 1 tsp Mycoroot supreme, 50ml E.M. , 10ml Liquid Silicon+ ) Day 31 - Supercropped the stems so get more space in the cab and light closer to all the bud sites. Day 32 - Added a Cup of Tea to each net pot Day 35 - Added a Cup of Tea to each net pot

AfricanGreen Day 36 - Changed out res and added nutrients. Can start to see the nice kush buds coming through. hoping they start to put on some weight now. buds and leaves looking nice and frosty. Changed time down to 11 hours light Day 37 - Added 2 cups of tea through net pot. Day 38 - clipped main colas to try start backbuilding buds and see if it helps Day 39 - Raised lights about another 5cm, wasnt sure if they were a bit to close, was loving some coverage. Seems to be budding abit bitter than the others, also the smaller of the 3 plants though.

AfricanGreen Day 43 - Changed out Res with clean water and nutes. Day 44 Flowering - Added 1 cup of tea through each net pot. Added another 0.3ml/L of bloom as nutes had dropped 100ppm over night Day 46 Flowering - Added 1 cup tea through each plants net pot. plants seem to be dropping in ph quite a bit came down to about 4.5. tea corrected it slightly

AfricanGreen Day 50 Flowering - drained system and replaced with clean water and nutes.

AfricanGreen Wow so what a week, My Grow cupboard almost broke and pulled away from the wall about 5cm, I Had to take the plants out the scrog as the scrog then damaged some branches. so i've kept this one out the cupboard, so far it seems ok using natural light. Day 57 - Changed nutes and water
