OK, got some new info here. When I bought the seed pack I split it with a friend. All 4 of his were male, they have a couple weeks to go. This morning he took down 3 of them and kept his favorite one to cross. Out of the 4 I kept, I planted 2 and started this journal, the little one is looking actually quite healthy compared to last week, and the big one, well she (that's right, she had me fooled at first) is damn near twice the size of the male so far. The last 2 seeds from the pack (8 regs) are in rockwool right now. Pics soon

More female karma L4....

Damn Duggy, your female kharma friggin' worked. Since this morning, on plant #1. What appeared to be pollen sacks for the last 2 days fattened up at the base and look more like a calyx. She has spit out 8 sets of bright white pistils since 4am-ish, and is growing like mad. ppm in the bucket dropped from 500 two days ago to 338 this afternoon. So today she'll get fresh water and an increase in nutes. Still sticking wtih flora nova bloom. ph likes to float between 5.7-5.9. That's ok with me, make sure nothing is getting locked out. So its day 20, and she is HUNGRY. Keep sending that kharma Duggy!

Edit: Also thinking of moving her to a 5gal mini tote this afternoon too, really give her room to explode!! Thoughts?

Lol. I thought your ppm was low for a minute then I realised I was using Stunteds numbers, which are usually triple anything recommended.

Yeah they may be a bit low actually. I've never done this DWC before and I really am just kinda winging it letting the plant tell me what she needs, as I really have no frame of reference or previous experience. Been trying to use others' threads for reference, but DWC varies so greatly from each grower it seems, that it's been really hard for me to determine what would be the logical next step. So I figured I would do things my way and go from there. That's why I'm on this forum, so all of you can tell me I'm a bonehead and doing it wrong, that's how I learn LOL

Whats the npk ratio of your nutes. Still only using gh bloom?

 

[gradolabs]

Dude, I looked up the npk ratio of gh flora bloom. 0-5-4 That means they are heavily n deficient. Downword light green leaves, rust spots and a 054 ratio... You need some nitrogen.

 

[gradolabs]

I suggest adding gh flora micro for n. Since you're already using gh.

 

[Level4refrigeratorclown]

NPK is 4-8-7. I'm not using Flora Bloom, but FloraNova Bloom.
