Fascinating stuff, makes me want to try DWC. Great details and photos.

Thanks for including the mistakes, sometimes grow journals make it look TOO easy.

Hi HubbaBubba
Thank you for the comment.
You cant learn from a journal unless the mistakes are included. It also helps me to look back and understand what went wrong.

Hi grim i see you still got the cover around you rock wool cube this could been your trouble bro,as it hold the water in there were you could get root rot starting bro,i allways take mine off to let air in and more roots out the side :passit:View attachment 468078
Hello Kudo

Thanks dude i never even thought of taking the covers off. Plus rep for the sound advice.
Looking good grim, not sure myself about the residue, are you brewing up that tea anyways just incase?

Can't wait to see this journey out, I know it's early but she's showing nice sati leaves already.
Cheers Darth,

Checked in with a few people and we are fairly sure its not slime just residue.
But you cant ever be too careful so some tea is a brewing as we speak.
Thanks for stopping by dude.

Kudo
Thats so true dude.
Yeah dude id love to get that cover off but the roots are so well established now in the clay pebbles that i would be afraid i would do damage if i went at the rockwool now. I made sure not to make the same mistake with the Auto Euphoria.
I almost missed this one but now I'm all caught up and subbed. Best of luck and hopefully the rest of the grow will be trouble free.
Hey DB
Thanks for subbing up man.
 
Hello and welcome,
Im very excited to grow out this strain as this is the first time i have got my hands on Mephisto Genetics.
Il be starting this seedling under one of Grow Northern's HS1 series LED with a second unit to be added later.
The seedling when ready will be transplanted into the 55 Litre Alien Pro Single Bucket system.
Il be sure to make and add some Beneficial Tea from The Nutrient Company to avoid any root diseases later in the grow.

Growth finally appears to be at the point where it should noticeably excel in the next coming days.
Currently the Hubbabubbasmelloscope has slowly grown up to five sets of leaves and as you can see in the picture the sixth set is on its way, which should hopefully be well out by tomorrow.

The plant seems to have very long inter nodal spacing which is due to the L.E.D. distance from the canopy.
I placed the L.E.D. at the height recommend here on site but from my experience this information incorrect.
In future i will keep the Light between 30-40cm above the seedling rather than the recommended 40-50cm.

Water temperatures have been slightly above the optimum range and yet still no signs of the dreaded root rot.
Im using TNC - Bactor in order to help the roots combat the higher temperatures which is why staining has occurred.
