Single Plant DWC Grow - Candy Kush

Pyke said:

Yeah take a picture and post it so we can take a look. I let my seed sprout a little before I put the jiffy in the hydroton, you can see about how big it was before it went into the hydroton if you look at my second post. Mine looked a little funny for a few days and then it straightened up and everything seems normal.

off to a good start johnnygrows.

if you have some or can get some, a humidity dome that would fit over those net pots would help a bunch when they are small like that. or if you can your humidity way up in your tent/room to like 70% with a humidifier

Not much to post lately, Kandy is just doing her thing. The roots are finally taking off and she is getting a few more sets of leaves. I went before work to take a picture and this is how she sits this morning. I know someone is going to say my roots have problems but the last grow I had the same issue, they are not slimy but almost discolored. When I do my reservoir change I take them and dip them in ph'd water and they get right back to white. Hasn't seemed to be a problem but maybe there is something I can do to stop this.
Anyway here are a few pictures, she is nice and green and looks healthy. I have the feeling that Kandy is going to be a squatty little plant but I guess we will just have to wait and see

I figured I'd run the autos at a 20/4 light cycle.......even the shittest of the shit ties led lights would grow a plant better than what this lil fucker after 7 days.... if these things flour at around 3 weeks like you said I'll be flowering a three to four inch plant at this rate

I am not sure when it will flower. Just give it another week, keep the water ph'd and talk nice to her, inner she will take off man. Mine just barely started taking off. It is probably spending time building its root system. Don't give up on her yet man

Bro I bet the slim is from your water temp......if this lil piece of shit don't show me something in the next couple days she will be replaced with a photo Critical Jack.......I'm almost wondering if my lil girl is having trouble growing her roots through the netting on that jiffy puck???? One may never know but one may know that lil fucking plant that's not doing much is about to go to the big garden in the sky

Haha yeah I had one of them do that, I figured by the time it switched to flower it would be 3" tall so it got kicked to the curb.

I have yet to have a problem with the roots breaking through the jiffy lining but who knows.
What light schedule are you on? Do you pour water over the hydroton daily to keep them nice and wet? Not sure if you are supposed to but I always have and have yet to experience any negatives from it.

I am at around 18 days from when I placed it in the napkin to sprout the seed.

I was just checking ph and noticed roots hanging from underneath the net pot finally so I'll keep her Rollin for now....since I notied the one little root sticking through this morning now there's multiples and some that even touch water...now I got that other one germinating and only have one bucket system cause this is my first DWC with autoflower so o guess I'll throw it in a 3 gallon smart pot with some coco....that's all I got right now

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.
