Week 2, Day 8 (part 2) The root explosion continues, with new roots appearing by the hour. The plants also continue to bend back towards the sun so it's continuous bucket lid turning and tying down branches until 3 or 4 main branches form. I see a few starting to form already. In past grows...

Thanks! I hope they explode in size from here on out. I'll get to decide in a few weeks if I want to take clones and do the same genetics for my back-to-back second grow or if I want to go down to the store at the end of this grow and buy some new genetics/clones. I've never grown an Indica...

Week 2, Day 8 All of my tent plants- 4 in my main system and the one LED DWC bucket-have popped roots. I have LST’d all of them now. I actually tried LST on my very first grow and was surprised at the results. Without cutting anything, I get multiple tops. The downside is during flowering, the...

DAY 7 (part 02) My reservoir changeout is complete. I have just about 20 gallons going through my 4 bucket system with fresh, nutrient water. I have a fairly simple blend: Hydroguard SIlica Blast General Hydroponics Flora Grow, Bloom, Micro Combo For the GH nutrients, at this stage I am using...

DAY 7 (part 02) I have begun my LST bending on plants #2, #3, and #4. Still waiting for roots on #1. This technique has worked very well for ne in the past, resulting in multiple tops/main branches emerging from some simple bending. Due to quarantine and lockdown in my area, I used what was at...

DAY 7 (part 01) Roots continue to grow in Plants #2, #3, and #4. This morning I began the low stress training of plants #2 and #3. I will work on #4 later in the day but I need more rings to glue down onto the bucket lid. I also have my res change this evening!

DAY 6 (Continued) A few extra pics. I am going to start bending plants #2 and #3 tomorrow for LST, so I glued some metal rings onto my netpot lid to serve as anchors. I wanted to give them another night of rotting before I begin slowly bending them downwards. I have had a lot of success in the...

DAY 6 (Continued) As noted this morning, plants #2 and #3 have popped roots. #1 and #4 are still chilling, looking healthy, but no roots yet. #1 and #4 had a slightly higher water level than #3 and #4 (by about 1/8th on an inch, not much) for a longer period of time, so I expect to see roots...

Thanks! Outside of a small plant I let grow on a dorm room balcony 20 years ago in college, I have never grown in soil :)

It's a Bluetooth Govee Temperature Humidity Sensor. 11 bucks on Amazon. I check it sing a phone app and/or poking my head into the tent to see the display.

DAY 6 (morning) ROOTS HAVE POPPED! Two of my ladies, #2 and #3, have some roots poking out of the netpot. Hopefully the others follow suit over today and tonight. They really liked my lowering the water level and, apparently, the lights.

Day 5 Still no roots I had to cut and connect a new, longer piece of 6 inch metallic vent tubing connecting my intake fan/carbon filter to my light since the piece I had on there was prohibiting how far I could lower the MH light and the plants look a bit stretchy. I also lowered my LED light...

DAY 4 (UPDATE) After taking a closer look at the pictures I took, I believed the Sunlit Lady was thriving and the tent plants looked a bit sad. MH/LED lights make plants look strange in general, but something about them just looks off to me. I TDS tested my Sunlit Lady and she came in at 330ish...

DAY 4 Still no roots popping out. The amazing pictures don’t really start coming until explosive root growth, plant growth, and eventual flowering occurs. The PPM’s are sitting at around 500, but probably 150 of that is tap water junk. Just a game of patience now. There was a little foam in my...

Day 3 Still nothing exciting going on. The plants seem to be doing well and are smelling quite nice. They appear to be perking up a bit. Still no roots poking out of the netpot. I busied myself with basic maintenance shores today, including spraying for pests. I combined a mixture of...

Day 2 Not much of anything exciting happens during this first week, so I spent today continuing to adjust the wiring, adding and moving plants, and adding/moving equipment. No leaks so far! I started with hooking up my Simple Deluxe LGPUMPAIR38 602 GPH 18W 38L/min 6 Outlets air pump which...

Background I have 7 grows that I have completed, with 4 being extremely successful, 2 annihilated by spider mites weeks into flowering, and one that was half destroyed by mold/fungus. All of these, save for the last, were Deep Water Culture (DWC). I have used the Lucas formula (loved it) as...
