Ok this is my Full guide with pictures on how to setup a Deep Water Culture grow, items you will need for this grow - Firstly a TENT or ROOM i use a tent REMEMBER stuff you buy NUTRIENTS off eBay and Amazon could be decanted (watered down) , or cheap chinese fakes (Ph Meters, PPM meters) you should really buy these things from you local hydroponics store,as they are guaranteed , i ve dropped a few into the bucket and they are fked,its been a sunday night with a bank holiday monday and i m fked, 1) Ph Down - makes the ph of water LOWER - this is VERY STRONG SHIT , wear gloves and googles if you are messing with it, i drop a bit into my main reservoir Ph 6.9 ( maybe 10ml per 200L) 2) Ph up - makes the Ph go higher - also STRONG SHIT -only needed in Emergencies 3) Ph meter 4) PPM Meter or EC meter 5) 20L Bucket + moulded lid netpot 6) Air Pump ,air hose 3m ,air stone x2, 7) Pebbles to fill to top of netpot, 8) ROOT IT cubes , i use these and ONLY these, by that brand,i know why,and so im telling you, 9) Seeds - I prefer Fast_Buds ,autos ready in 10 weeks of 18/6 - top quality 10) Nutrients, I use Canna as they are the easiest, they have a way of filling the one side , if you take the top off you can squeeze into the measuring side - I would also recommend Advanced Nutrients,but they are more expensive - so you will need 1L Canna Aqua Vega A+B ( it comes as two parts that you cannot mix together , when you put this into the water you MUST stir it well before putting each one in seperately otherwise you will get salts formed and crystals floating around,10 ml per 10L week 1-2 ,15ml per 10L week 3, 20ml per 10L in week 4) 1L Canna Aqua Flores A+B (as above) 25ml per 10L week 5, 30ml per 10L week 6 ,30 ml per 10L week 7 , 25ml per 10L week 8,15ml per 10L week 9, 0 per 10L week 10 250 ml Canna Rhizotonic (roots love this use this from start 20 ml per 10L and cut down after 4 weeks to 5ml per 10L up until week 9 250 ml Canna Cannazym ( breaks down dead roots, enzyme of some sort) 15ml per 10L from week 3 through to week 9 250 ml CannaBoost - (quite expensive but worth it, DWC will show you why) 15ml per 10L week 3 to 4 , 25ml per 10L week 5-9 250 ml Canna PK 13/14 (bud booster) this is optional because you only add it once,personally i add 15 ml per 10L in week 7 so its stays in for 10 days I leave my water for at least 24 hrs before using it, in a big old olive container i bought , i think its 225 L i might be wrong, but it was cheap , solid and had a top :) I check my water levels ,my PH and PPM daily 11) Jubilee clips x3 - to secure the fan ,filter and outlet.( 5 clips if using air cooled hood ) 12) Fans - i have 2 little fans and 1 big one = think about it, outside there is always good air flow - 13) Extractor fan -mine is 6 inch 14) Carbon Filter - mine is 6 inch im not overly impressed with any brand. 15) Ducting- 5m of 6 inch easy enough,well for me... 16) Ballast - LUMATEK -i found this one amazing and switchable. 17) Lightbulb -600w HPS ALL THE WAY but i would use 1000w HPS if i could keep the heat down, they both fit in same fitting 18) Air hood - i have a MAGNUM superXXXL it has screw in holders for glass , they are quite tight 19) Timer for lights , must be good quality , I do 17 hrs on 7 off as it's more natural 20) Syringes for measuring accurately 21) Bucket to mix solutions THE GOLDEN RULE - you can always put in but never take out - never put in too much or undiluted into the reservoir unless you really know what you are doing, less is better than too much . Ppm v EC - you may well buy an EC meter instead of ppm meter there is an easy way to convert between the two ~ 1.0 ec = 500 ppm EC multiply by 1000 then divide by 2 to get ppm This diary will start shortly but as so many people ask me how to setup HERE YOU GO :)

Hello Diary, Cherry Pie has completed its fifth week of flowering, as you can see in the photos, we are very close to harvest. I would say one more week and she will be ready. Given the appearance of Cherry Pie, it would be a shame not to take a picture of her on a black background. The flowers are now quite large, hard to the touch and sticky. Especially the main cola which looks impressive. The flowers are full of trichomes that are still transparent when viewed through a microscope. Some leaves have started to turn yellow which I attribute to her ripening. The smell is very intense at this stage, the whole room smells like plants when I open the grow box. Watering is still every two or three days. This week I stopped adding nutrients, I just lower the p.H. to 6.0 and water the plants with clean water. Here's what the previous week looked like. 13/09/2024 - Day 51. Watering. I prepared 9 liters of water, lowered the pH to 6.0 and used that amount to water all three plants on the farm. 16/09/2024 - Day 54. Watering. I repeated the same procedure as three days earlier. 18/09/2024 - Day 56. It's the end of the 8th week, taking pictures of the plants. That's all from me for this week, see you soon.

Nice growth. It's been stormy here so they're a little stressed but will strengthen back up when the sunshine comes back out. I'm thinking, or at least hoping, this is a female 🤞 I topped every bud site on every plant, both indoors & outdoors.

Day 36. Girls are flying !!! Was comparing my previous dairies here and they look really good, have in mind, two heavy waves of training involved, each time i had a bag full of leaves ... One more training and i think on day 42 its 24 hours of darkness and FLOWEEEEERRRR ;)) Day 37. Its hard to add anything, because everything going kind off well ;)))) Last night watered them with 6.2 ph, they stop drinking, at least as fast as before, usually my ph is 6.5-6.8, but sometimes i drop to 6.2-6.4 for one feed in a month or so ..SweetSeeds don't like that trick ... Still leaves praying, loads of new grows after each night , just Kushes overgrew others a bit. Will supercrop them soon. Day 39. All is going smooth, they drink biobizz nutes feed in one day, phed water in 2, so you would want to overfeed them, Kushes could eat more 4sure now. Installed last wall fan. Now setup is full... Kind off ;))) need to find exhaust silent and powerfull 5 inch fan ... Day 41. This is official - JUNGLES !!! ;) Change in plans : Killer Kushes are moved to veg/dry tent, Autos started there will come instead of them. Thinking that way ill lower canopy a bit and make more space for rest 8. Tomorrow it will be done together with heavy training for Skunks and Cheeses. They will be sent to flower at the end of next week. Happy Growing !

Hi Growdiaries, BubbleGummer has been moved to the bloom tent, she had reached the lights in my veg room. Keeping her on the veg nutrients for now. No signs that she is ready to bloom yet, let's give her some time to get used to the bloom light and shorter days. Thanks for visiting my grow! KittensforPeace

So week 5 has started. This week should be flowering week but shes taking it slowly. She looks lovely and healthy tho. This week I start adding bloom fertilizer to her solution. I like the way she stayed low and bushy. She has around 8 colas with this small size. I am trying to rotate the fan leaves with sticks so the lower colas can see the light directly. Almost everyday I am doing some changes with her LST. Main stem grew vertical nicely just as I wanted. But still I couldnt fill all my coverage area. Maybe because of the strain itself, or my low power lights, or 12/12 start light cycle. Probably all of them affected her size. Day 30. Switched one of the 6500K bulb with 2700K. Now its 2x6500, 2x2700. And the 300W LED ofc. a short 1 hour timelapse. I need a bigger memory card so I can make a proper timelapse Day 31. Changed this week to flowering week. I can see shes focusing on her pre-flowers lately. Each day i can notice they grow taller. Changed another 6500K bulb with 2700K. Was waiting for next week but seems she is ready for full flow mode. You can see her curvy body on pictures. It looks really nice imo. Middle buds already as big as main cola now. Day 35. Last day of week 5. Fed her today and this time I add 1ml/l Top-Max. There are some small burns on random areas. Some are on edge of the leaves while others are in the middle like small dots. I guess they are light burn. No big deal hopefully. The first leaves on the bottom of her main stem are drying and dying. I think thats normal. Everything else seems pretty healthy. She is filling 30x25 cm area while my coverage area is 40x40cm. Not too bad but next time I will train it better for sure. Watering every 2 days with around 500ml water. And feeding between 2 waterings so every 6 day.

well, it's exactly 12 weeks :) and my house is full of lemon aroma :) the girl endured really difficult growth, but she coped with everything perfectly :) who followed the growth, you saw that she grew on the balcony for 10 weeks, and she spent the last 2 in the grow tent :) 500 gr wet weight !!!!:) , before putting it in the ground I expected less than 10 g dry yield :D then this growth turned out super well, if it wasn't for my vacation I would have let it grow for about 2 weeks I think. but everything is still very good, I'll go home, fix it and do a smoke review :).

Day 58 - I started seeing these yellow/brow spots, maybe its a calcium deficiency? I have been giving her calcium so it could be a ph problem. I´m also worried because my neighbor tree has leaf septoria so it could be it aswell, i will keeping a real close eye. Last night rained heavily, so today i sprayed her again w/ Botryprot. Humidity here is really high, i think it´s already helping! Next 3 days will continue raining. When raining stops, i´ll spray when possible. Day 61 - Today i fed her the above chart. We are in week 3, so i cut Fish-mix as she´s focusing on her flowers now. The deficiency stopped developing so im happy, but im always seeing crickets on my plant. I remove all of them by hand, regardless every time i get back i see 3 at least. They are loving the blueberry. Forgot to mention i added acti-vera this time, to help stalks get stronger and healthier. Let´s see how she reacts to it, when she was young she didn´t enjoyed acti-vera Day 64 - These last days have been very hot, with a maximum of 30ºC. Will feed her tomorrow at the beginning of week 4. Will keep same feeding, she didn´t complaint about acti-vera now. :)

Hey guys . My cutting heating broke 3-4 weeks ago, which was fixed immediately and everything went wonderfully. Now, 3 days ago, the central heating broke down in the entire room, so that at night I only have temperatures of around 13 degrees :-( . One or the other lady is slowly starting to see a phosphorus blockage, as this can no longer be absorbed at temperatures below 15 degrees, like many other nutrients :-( . A friend looked at the heating yesterday and came to the conclusion that a real company had to do it, which is by no means possible for a stranger to enter my room. I quickly ordered heating mats for all the boxes so that the ladies could at least get warm feet. That's all I have this winter full can do . Let's hope everything will be fine 🙏🏻. As soon as the heating mats are attached in the coming days, I will post them in the pictures. Now for the update. Despite the severe cold, the ladies are still doing well and have made good progres . The ladies only had to be watered once this week, each time with 1 l, because it absorbs the water very slowly because of the cold and I don't want to overwater it. I took every single plant in the pot to take a close look at their roots. These are snow white and look very healthy 🙏🏻. It was also the last time neem oil sprayed so that the last trips are finally gone. Otherwise everything was checked and a lot of planning was done, like I do with the heating mats. Since a friend had the same problem in one winter and the heating mats got 10 degrees plus on the pots, I am very confident that it will at least bring something for the last cold month 😃 🙏🏻. I'll start flowering tomorrow by switching to 12 / 12 h because the ladies mustn't get too high because the small flowering tent is only 160 cm high :-) until then have fun and stay healthy 🙏🏻 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this Nutrients at : https://greenbuzzliquids.com/en/shop/ With the discount code: Made_in_Germany you get a discount of 15% on all products from an order value of 100 euros. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 You can buy this strain at : https://www.exoticseed.eu/ Water 💧 💧💧 Osmosis water mixed with normal water (24 hours stale that the chlorine evaporates) to 0.2 EC.
