Single Plant DWC Grow - Candy Kush

So I am up to 3/4 strength nutes and Kandy seems to be responding pretty well. I think next week when I change the reservoir I will bump it up to full strength.
As your reading this if you hear me talk about something that you don't agree with please chime in, I am wanting to hear all the different techniques people are using and would love to perfect what I am doing. Anyway here are a few pictures of what she looked like this morning. I hope that she will get some vertical growth here soon but who knows, being an auto I guess I will just wait to see what I can get out of her.
She looks squat...healthy but squat.....I just think Candy kush auto does way better in dirt......I seen a few videos on YouTube of candy kush auto grows and they looked a lot bigger than your.....one kid got like 132 grams off his candy kush auto.....and just my opinion but I personally wouldnt run any auto at anything more than 800 ppm

Hey bro....I looked shit up on the candy kush and she only gets 50-60 cm that's like 19-23 inches......Rob Bergman.....you ever hear of him.....He owns I LOVE GROWING MARIJUANA in the Netherlands.......his seedbank has some killer auto strains.....I ordered the super skunk autos once and they were pretty nice for autos......I got 7 1/2 ounces off 3 of them and it was killer smoke

only thing i would suggest is dont' be tempted to think more nutes=better. what ppmEC are you at? autos aren't usually heavy feeders.

what light cycle?

if you really want to challenge yourself, try to do a dwc grow from start to finish without getting any nute burn/tips turning brown. it's not easy.
I will check the ppm' tonight to see where I am at, maybe if the plant is looking good and responding to where I am at I can just stay at 3/4 strength. I am on a 18/6 light cycle.

Never heard of him, I always order through Herbies, the only reason I grew this auto was because I went to buy some more seeds through them and you had to mail your money in first, they were no longer doing credit card payments :cry: So i said fuck it and looked at the freebies they sent me, and that is why we are growing candy. As long as I can get a decent smoke I will be happy. I am an easy one to please. :blsmoke:

you could go up to 20/4 or even 24/0. autos start to flower when they reach a certain height from their ruderalis genetics. 18/6 works too but more dark=less time growing.

Is it going to have any negative side effects switching the light cycle mid grow now that it is used to the 18/6? Or is it really not that big of a deal.

20/4 is suppose to be the best light cycle for them ....in their natural setting they get a dark period so I don't understand why people want to run 24 hours on them....you might want to move your light up just a tad to see if it helps them stretch.....one nice thing about ordering from I love growing marijuana is there is no shipping cost no extra pay for stealth to guarantee you get your gear.....the price he wants for his seeds it the bottom line price and he guarantee delivery he don't care how many times it takes he's a good duse.....Herbs is good to but every time I tried ordering from Herbs my shit got nicked at customs....not Herbies fault....I've never ordered from Attitude seed bank but they got killer February Freebies

to be honest, i don't know. i tried autos twice and didn't like them much compared to feminized seeds. i like being able to flip to 12/12 based on how tall they are in my setup so they don't get too tall for my lights/room.

i would guess it wouldn't matter but it's just a guess.

yes and no. kinda depends on the source of the ruderalis genes. if they are from siberia or way up in alaska, they don't get any dark period during summer. some people even do 22/2 just for a brief bit of darkness.

This is my first Auto grow in dwc......but I've grown dozens of autos all at different light schedules and 20/4 is the best results I've gotten .. I literally see no difference in plant size keeping the lights on 24/7 but I guess it's a preference thing

i did 24/0 for mine just cause it was easier for me to maintain a constant temp/RH in my room with light on.

since you have done autos, have you tried any Mephisto Genetics stuff? there have been some journals on here and the strains look bomb.

I have 3 Apollo 180w advanced full spectrum with IR led's...I just added a second one to that candy till I put the one in coco down there20170203_014132.jpg

the last couple of autos i have left are gonna go outside in the greenhouse this spring. at least they will finish up in time since our growing season is pretty short where i'm at in CO.
