New Grower Aeroponic candy Kush and Massive Midget

[gardenhackle]

Day 60.

Today marks the 60th day "from seed". I dropped them in water to begin germination 60 days ago (minus an hour).

Auto Candy Kush: 65-75

Pictures don't want to load sobi'll do that later.

Heavyweight seeds Massive Midget: "Approximately 8 weeks from germination". That's 56 days plus maybe 4 to sprout. We'll call it 60 days.

The auto Candy Kush looks to be on time or maybe even early. One looks like it could be chopped today with very frosty buds and on the top cola mostly cloudy with about 10% Amber. Lower buds not showing Amber but lots and lots of cloudy trichomes. I'm eying day 65 on the fastest and biggest phenotype.

The other three look to be slightly slower.

The Massive Midgets are going over 70 days. One looks like it could be chopped but it isn't done yet. 3 more weeks for most of them, I think. One heavily indicate dominant pheno (gorgeous plant!) might be ready in a week but the rest have more plumping up to do and they're doing it nicely.

Temps a comfortable 74-76. RH 52-72. PPM: 1280.

I won't be adding any more nutrients to the reservoir and will start the final flush in a few days.

I'm pretty happy with the way the ladies are maturing. There are a number of different phenotype a and lots of buds, all looking quite dense. I expect pretty good weight from this batch and the quality should be very good.
I'm giving the ladies the UV boost from the Solar Storm lights for a few hours a day now. That will continue till the chop.

I've got 18 Mephisto Sour Crack ordered and if they show up, I'll start 9 for the next grow as soon as they show up. If they don't arrive in time, I'll run some photoperiod white widow and critical.

I actually used Koolbloom liquid, AF BIG BUD and Overdrive but at about 3/4 strength.

The massive midgets look like they've got another 2-3 weeks, at least.

Think I should add more booster?

Ppm has been maintained between 1200and 1300 ppm. They are drinking 3-4 gallons a day but it is dropping. Now more 3-3 gallons per day (with nute replacement in ratio).

 

[gost25]

Try uping the overdrive it looks like they r looking for more p k but more k if u no wot I meen

 

[gardenhackle]

I just upped the dose of overdrive 100 Ml.

Ppm is 1350 now.

Yeah, I'd lower the lights if I could but I'm out of room and the tops are actually in love he light burn proximal range of been though they're handling it well.

This is my first grow with boosters and an additional light. Things are MUCH better than previous grows but I'm cautious because I've changed so much this time around and it is impossible now to determine what changed are responsible for the improvements.

Things that did different:

Use of cal-mag and RO from the start.

Light bytes from the start 1/4 strength

Added hydroguard

Added an air conditioner for the whole grow.

Added another CLW solar storm 440 light

Added panda film reflectors for a reflective makeshift tent in the room

Added an air pump and two stones to the reservoir.

Added an extra fan blowing up through the canopy as well as one blowing through the tops and side.

And added bloom boosters from GH and AN.

Last time I was running lights on the auto flowers 24/7. This time only 20/4.

This time I will also flush. I've never flushed before and have been very happy with taste and smoothness after cure so I will see if there is a difference.

I think that is it but it is a lot of change.
