New Grower Vegasbear's Noob Growing Adventures

Day 7

Only one has roots in the water but the one that does, they're 6" long already. All four are growing way faster than my Coco plants did!

I will wait for the 14 day mark before I do a res swap and increase nutrients. It certainly seems that running nutes from Day 1 hasn't lead to disaster like some info out there alludes to.

Day 8

Insulated one of the lids. I'll probably do this for all of them.

Day 64

Taking trich pics is hard. Here are the pics from two of my plants - the slow one is still stretching and one is still obviously mostly clear trichs still but I am not sure about these other two. Let me know what yall think.

Plant 1

Plant 2

Im just not really sure how much longer till they're ready.

Day 66

Bushy girl needs another defoliation in the next couple days.

Day 10. All four have roots in the water.

I will change them in a couple days as I am doing back to back turnovers today and tomorrow. All four look nicely healthy and don't appear to be asking for more nutrients yet.

First res change. Did #1 and #2, pump died so I'll grab some batteries on the way back from work and do the other two tonight. 3 gallons per bucket seems to be just about 3/4-1" below the net pot, which is a nice tidy number.

Per gallon of RO water:

4ml AN Sensi Bloom Part A
4ml AN Sensi Bloom Part B
4ml Botanicare Silica Blast
3ml Botanicare Hydroguard
5ml CalMag

PH is bang-on at 6.0.

Let the games begin!

Day 67

The slow plant in the back is showing the same deficiency that it's been battling this whole grow. Only that plant, too. I suspect that it's just that ive been pushing the edge with nutrients and that one's been a little beaten up. Some of the buds it's forming look FAT, though...

Day 11.

WOW, they really liked the res change. #3 and #4 got theirs changed and I can't wait to see them tomorrow.

Day 68,

Trich pics from three different plants.

This is from the one named Alfred. They look mostly cloudy to me?

Specimen #2 is named Toby

And finally, Phineas - the weird one with the really tall leafy colas. This guy looks half and half still for sure.

Day 69

Alfred, lots of fan leaf yellowing that has been slowly increasing over the last couple days, but doesn't appear to be affecting the plant.

Phineas

Toby

And Rondell. In these pics you can see the leaf issue, though it's primarily only in the upper canopy and lower leaves look fine. This girl has been weird, she was the healthiest starter right out the gate, and has been having issues ever since.

I will trim these off tonight, do a thorough defol, and flush. Then back feed with 1/4 nutrient solution and 1.5x (7ml/g) cal-mag. And then we shall see. Buds look like they're going to be pretty fat even with all the issues she's had.
