Wow, that is a big root system That is also why I go with a bigger bucket

Hey @Frogin ,
This is what happens in that 5 gallon bucket when the plant gets big. No room for the water!

Ignore the brown roots, they are stained from the fulvic acid I used.

I've already got a 20 for the next round not gonna stress her out moving her but noticed for sure a bigger resivor was needed In The future thanks for the heads up she is definitely stretching good atm this was her this morning before I left

Well week 6ish and she's almost 1/2 meter tall and started to flower pretty good. Bumping her nutes up on flora and down on veg nutes still at 425ppm ph has been pretty stable between 5.5 and 5.8 between top offs. Changed out this morning back at 5.5. She is starting as well to produce some good smell I've grown this strain in soil and even being a quarter of this one's size she packed a hella punch in both smell and potency. Thanks for following along I did pick up a larger tank for my next grow as I see where the roots are definitely gonna get packed. I do have a drip system I use on peppers that I may use toward the end of the grow but I'm thinking she's got about 4.5 more weeks

Doing better than me my first go I could never keep a sterile environment with hydroguard went the good bacteria route with heisenberg tea. Depending on the strain you can get a root ball that will fill your bucket. Looks like it is working out though. Nice job.

Thank ya much better than my soil grows. My day job I have to be very oriented on numbers I'm thinking this is helping with monitoring

Well we go into week seven and she seems extremely happy bud growth can be seen daily. Been diligent about checking both ppm, and ph daily so far has seemed to be working. Keeping ppm at about 580 on average over 10 days and ph between 5.3 and 5.9. Again thanks for all that are following this has actually been an enjoyable grow for a change. I have been working on upgraded resivor ,air pumps and new larger stones . Plan on growing a fastbuds blueberry and Gelato on next run will probly take my new years time off and start that run. But will be posting in fast buds forum.

Well Christmas is right around the corner. Figured I'd post gonna be busy this weekend just before her 7th week I think she's starting to bud out. I defoliated her a little and have kept her bumped her up to 600 on the nutes and gave more flower and a little more calmag this time roots are plenty healthy took a pic of the root mass. Thanks again for keeping up everyone have a great Christmas.

The wee one is still looking good she handled defoliation pretty well and is putting on some weight now. Not sure what to expect from size but so far she is larger than all 3 of my previous grows so it's an improvement. Ph has been held at 5.8 to 6.2 and steady now about 775 ppm on nutes with majority flower power. Going by days she should be ready sometime around end of January but will place that on her and the look of the pistols and tricombs. Thanks to all that are following

 

[Frogin]

Little girl is still doing well ph has been great at 5.8 to 6.0 still running 750s for ppm she's drinking about a 1/2 gallon a day so far. Got another light for Christmas so figure where in the 900 watt range by the par chart. Both lights combined say 2000watts there plenty bright in the 4x4 I don't have a par meter but that 100 what's is about the size of a pack of smokes if you go by there information on height and output. Hope everyone had a safe enjoyable holidays.

Went ahead and harvest this one she was getting pretty brown on the pistols and tricomes where plenty cloudy. Got her in her dry tent in dark with small fan for circulation will weigh when she's good and dry
