Hey Folks


Well i just thought i would check in and let everyone know whats been happening with these plants. I have decided to do picture updates only on mondays from now on (getting a bit of earache off the MRS) So since the EC rise last week i have now settled everything back down, i might add without having to flush these plants! Because my EC had risen so sharply i added plain water to my res to control the EC and wait it out for my new pH pen. The RES change i done before the sharp rise in EC was at EC1.6 so when i dumped the RES i refilled with EC1.2 pH5.7 thus lowering my EC gradually rather than a massive EC0.0 flush.
During this time the plants were using EC0.2 each day from the RES so i knew i had to increase my EC on my next res change.

So i changed my Res this week and refilled with EC1.4 pH5.7. The EC is holding pretty steady again at the present time. What i have noticed now that i am using a pH meter that works my pH is drifting from 5.7-6.2 and at this point i correct this back down to 5.7ish, Now am beginning to understand how far out my old pH Meter was as this drift i know is perfectly normal and can be a good thing as the different nutrients are available to the plant at differing pH ranges.


Anyway enough babbling for now.

Cant believe how quiet this journal is lol.

Hey folks

As promised i have been and taken some pics of the closet.

I have included a couple of size reference shots of my biggest bud.

Some specifics so far about how everything is running.

I have added my PK1314 (30ml) i have also added around 10ml of Liquid Silicon, this is A potassium silicate additive, then i have made up the rest of the EC by adding FLORES A and B up to EC1.4 pH 5.7

The Liquid silicon is also a pH up replacement and i have noticed as the plants have been feeding that this time the pH has been going down slightly each day. I adjust to 5.7 and the next day it is down to 5.4 so i can only assume from this that the plants are using the extra Potassium thus causing the pH to lower from using it. I am correcting this pH change by adding 4ml of Liquid silicon, This brings my pH back from 5.4 up to between 5.7 and 5.8 and only add's EC0.1 to the tank.

Now due to the pH problems i had the other week a couple of the bigger leaves up top have yellowed but as you can see from some of the pics everything is still lovely and green all the way down!

I have also included a stalk shot to show everyone that those little yellow curled leaves at the bottom of the stalk are my Cotelydons, So when people tell you its ok for them to fall off early in the plants life cycle this is proof that they can still be there when you are entering into the 6th week of flowering.

Anyways hope you all enjoy the pics. As always any comments please feel free.

I have been thinking about how i am going to use this wilma on my next grow ( i know!!! Thinking about the next one already lol) With these DINAFEM POWER KUSH i topped them and allowed them to pretty much do what they wanted. On my next grow using this system i think i will leave the 4 plants (WHITE LABEL WHITE ICE) untopped and clean bottom growth and see what happens.



Please chime in people with any comments or opinions.

Thanks stink

To be honest i started this journal due to being asked to show what i can do. I will add that im not sure if youve read the whole thread but this is my first run with a hydro system.

I think the reason people arent posting in this journal is that i only update it roughly every 7days now and it quickly falls back in the Journals Forum as there are others adding things to their journals all the time.

I just wanted mine to be easy to follow and show what i am doing when im doing it and what i do to correct problems etc.

Prior to this grow i was using COCO in pots and hand watering,

But i did not treat it like soil, i was EC testing Nute strength going in and coming out, pH testing IN vs OUT so i was pretty much using a HYDRO system except i was the RESERVOIR and PUMP lol. So it was the next logical step for me to move to a full hydro based system. I already had all the testing Equipment etc so it was just a matter of picking the system i liked. The wilma 4 sold me as it fit perfectly into my space and the coverage from the BLOCKBUSTER was Perfect.


I had NO IDEA how much easier things would be in hydro as you are just testing the RES and adjusting.


I know what you mean about other threads where people are posting an entry saying hey " IM EATING A CANNA COOKIE" for example.

I like the fact that my thread is pretty concise and to the point. And also like you say it means that with each update you see real progress.

i prefer sterile indoors where i control everything but i am a control freak, lol.


I was looking last night for your indoor area flowering pics but your thread is too long to sit for hours trawling.

it is huge lol..got 1600 gram from 64 plants lad 2-3 weeks early..
Click to expand...
thats only an average of 25g per plant.


How much lighting were you using?

Im underestimating here but im hoping im gonna pull about 300g off 4plants maybe more. for 1600g that would mean around 20plants not 64.

Did you have small SOG style plants?

shame about cutting early, if you ever have to finish early again look into GHE RIPEN i got 4 cheese clones through in 7weeks with around 25g per plant and 13" tall using it. Its a forcing solution.

Everything looks awesome!

I have a Power kush in soil that was just put in 12/12 under 1000w 4 days ago, definitely a stretcher.

I'm starting to really like Dinafems gear, some of my best looking plants.
