Hey guys thought I'd throw up a grow journal. It's my fifth grow and my first dtw so go easy. I grew dwc the first few times. What a learning curve.
Anyway they're under a viparspectra par600 (280w draw) and 4xciti cobs at 180w draw between them. So 460w draw all up.
Tents 1*1*1.8m
I've transplanted them a week or so ago into the 20l containers using perlite/Coco 60/40
They were switched to flower about a day ago.
Using easily accessible nutrients from our local aussie hardware store. 9-1.6-3.2
Adding a pk booster when needed to add valuable P/K
And two different veg and bloom bases
Additives are a range of organic humic and fulvic acids and myco/baccilus bacteria
Foliar fed with a organic Neem extract fortnightly. Up until flowers show. For pest control.
No water only feeds. All 1500ppm
Strains are. Peyote critical and galaxy. Sourced from seedsman
Anyway here's what you have been waiting for. Pics. If you have any tips. Please comment

Looking good! Regarding the temp, 22.1C struck me as a bit chilly, but at 40% RH I see that's a spot on VPD of 1.3.
Good spotting!!!! It's very dry here ATM. I don't run any sort of climate control. It runs from 16° up to 34° winter to summer.
It will run ATM (winter) 16°c at night. And warm up to 26°c at middle of the lights on period. 10° swing. Which they say is to much. So I would get better growth if I could control that.

Wait, you are an aussie! What’s up my fellow cobber ;) I’m over in west Australia guessing your over east? Man plants are looking amazing. You have flicked them over to flower the same time as my girls! I’m drawing a little more power haha, 3m by 1.5m tent. I’ve got 3 afghan x black Domina, 1 cheese, 1 money maker, and 2 jack heirers in there, tbh just my first grow so looking for the easiest / most forgiving / biggest yielder to make things easier for me. 2 x 640 hi-par de, and a 600 hps. Supplementing my own Co2 with a couple of brews with a bit of poly threw the wall and over the top of the plants to drop it over them. Might of seen a little peace of them in newbies journal but I’ll throw up a little update here too. I want to try DWC, but still got a lot to learn, atm girls are just in 50L pots coco mix. DTW. All waters are supplmented, haven’t done any flushes or anything. Girls are loving it.

I’m in vic and it’s cold as fuck hating it but can’t afford to run a heater. It’s only personal so I’ll get plenty to get me threw, it will be killer smoke just reckon I would have gotten bigger buds with better temps. I’ve got my next batch getting ready so I can flower straight away, when these girls are done. Spring will be a good grow temp wise. @Peyote alexia your plants are growing quick mate :clap: they’re starting to take off:weed:. Can’t wait to see that frost

Ricky boy that setup of yours sounds hectic!!!!! Love it!!! I would chat more but misses is waiting I'm bed :P
Anyway. Just gave them a feed.
1500ppm with silica for pH up.
I'll share a piccy tomoz night with Yas :)
Sorry I can't address your comments more now.. I'll jump on tomoz some time between work.

I always like seeing how people in other countries grow thank you for sharing , looking forward to watching this

Beautifull @horribleherk yours are taller then mine. And with less lights your filling that tent so well!!!! I've tried jack Herrer before but the seeds were to old. I've heard it's a great strain. I should start to run single strains with clones but I just love diversity haha

My tent is a bit smaller than yours so I can get away with less light , from what I can see your tent is gonna be kicking real soon I have a friend with one of the larger vipar spectra lights its called a 1200 but actual wattage I think is 460 w.

24 hours later.
Now its moving along!!
I've noticed light green new growth. Some say it's a sign the plants growing quick. But let's face it. Do you see it on prize plants often?
There would be a reason. Its often at the switch to 12/12 my assumption is its from using calcium carbonate. Aka tap water. Its a slow release calcium compared to calcium nitrate. And the only times I see it is when not using a cal mag product into switch. Especially with a transplant around the same time. The cac03 hasn't had a chance to even be available to the plant yet. So I changed my feed to add a 300ppm base of cal mag. It actually worked out. Coz now I don't need silica for pH up so ultimately I use the same amount of products as before anyway.
I'll try not to post so many frequent updates. I apologize. Just I'm sharing what I learn as I learn it. In case I'm actually wrong and someone can steer me :p
PS @DustyDuke to view signatures on a phone. Did you know you just have to turn the phone sideways for landscape portrait. And thanks for the idea. I just did the same
