They look like hydro plants,puffy leaves etc.Long time hydro grower that switched to organic.Really see the difference.They look good,trouble is coming though,you can see something on lower leaves.Perhaps just from growing so fast IDK.

How is this grow going? I just got a PA hydroponics RDWC and curious of how you like it and how it has been performing. I am finishing up a soil grow then switching.

I love my PA Fallponics system. It’s my first grow so I have nothing to base it on. But it’s been running smoothly with no leaks, and my plants look amazing, after I corrected my EC which was way too high. I put it in a Secret Jardin tent, and it’s meant for a Gorilla, so the end result was that one side got more light as you can see in the attached pic. For my next grow, I will have Gary make me a custom caterpillar pipe, with an extra 4 inches on one end.

Those are huge. Looking nice and bushy, may want to defoliate before flowering. I can’t wait to try mine. I am waiting for this soil grow to finish as my space is limited. Here is my bubblegum.

damn that looks beautiful!

i’ve already removed all the leaves and branches below node 4. I know I need to trim more but I’m not sure exactly where. This is day 10 of 12/12 so it may be too late?

Thanks. I defoliated right before flower a little and then again at week 3 of flower; however during week 3 of flower it’s only a light defoliation to allow for light to get to more of the bud sites. Here are some pictures after week 3 defoliation.

Being it's my first grow and all, I kinda wanna play it safe. It seems that there are two schools of thought on the usefulness of defoliation.... but most agree that removing all the leaves under the canopy are a good thing. Since I already did a major chop job down there, I'm gonna let my ladies grow their natural bush up top. Your defoliation technique looks spot-on, I will definitely try it for my next grow.

Sounds good. Send some pictures when it flowers. Also what strain is that, and where did you get the seeds?

The strain is 20Twenty Mendocino “Hindsight” got them from Great Lakes Genetics. Straight up company and they included a lot of bonuses, but most were non-feminized.

Damn bro, that looks amazing. Mine is a bit of a jungle, but the buds are fat and stinky. I’d say they have 3-4 weeks to go. How long was the entire process for your grow?

You going to have a shit load of weed! I am excited to taste my bubblegum. The whole process started in early May. I veged for 9 weeks and then flipped her to flower. I’ll probably harvest next weekend. Then slow dry for at least a week.

You are going to love your fallponics system. One thing I learned was that you should not keep the bubbler on maximum. This will bring an excess of CO2 into the water which will have an acidic effect (pH drops). Once I adjusted that, everything became very stable. Something to file away....
