DWC round 1 Area 51 Kush grow journal

Good luck on the Sour D. I'd recommend transporting it out of that rockwool and into some dirt/jiffy pot before it sprouts it's taproot.

Growing with rockwool blocks has saved me dozens of hours in the grow and the results beat out coco. I have some plants potted in coco blooming right now. When I harvest them (1month) I'll show you a pic of a coco plant and a rockwool plant side by side. Rockwool has some finicky properties, but easy to deal with. The main thing is you must flush it heavily once per week. You must top feed. Ebb and flow just generates too much salt buildup. You must use 5.3 - 5.7 PH. You must soak it overnight before using. Plants must be thoroughly rooted in smaller block before going onto larger block. Thats it! If you do those things, rockwool will not bite. One of those 6 x 6 x 6 Hugo blocks holds just short of 1/2 gallon of water. I'm growing plants that I would use 5 gallons of coco with in a 4 x 4 block on top of a 6 x 6 x 6 Hugo block. Grodan also makes an 8 x 8 x 8 Big Mamma block that holds a gallon of water. The Big Mamma can be used for really big production plants or mothers. Once you start using this stuff, you'll never go back. It's just too easy.

And if you decide to keep it in there, be really attentive. Those things can dry out really fast, and be overwatered even faster. Don't fry a young seedling!
I lost a nice 1" tall bagseed to a rockwool. Only have like 2 left of those.
 
The sour diesel sproated and is growing very well, still have clones trying to root them, oh well aha, all the plants are doing well and I picked my fastest growing clone as my first plant to go into flowering, hopefully in the next week I'll set it in a separate shelf with another light and start scroging it like crazy. I hope to have it flowering while I start growing mothers to give clones. Also finally got a clone of blue dream, cant wait to see her flower. Heres the pics

Whole cab, 11 plants total currently. 3 bubba 1 sour diesel 1 blue dream and 6 area 51

I don't know how often to update but if you guys want daily updates I can do that,
 
Bro, if you LST that Blue Dream now, she will branch out.
Keeping her in the natural shape like that is what's preventing her from branching.
Trust me.

Oh and if you Top and LST together, they'll really explode.
Check out my journal.

Don't root-rot them, cannabis likes to dry out almost completely between waterings.
Also stop using backyard soil, that's how you get weeds, pests, disease, and fungal populations.

Any cheapo organic potting soil will do the job.
Whitney Farms is pretty easy to get and cheap, but I'm sure theres' some good local bulk dirt available.

It's not like you're not fertilizing, the dirt doesn't have to be pimped out with nutrients or anything like that.
And anything will work better than that backyard poo.

Best of luck brother:leaf:

Thanks man, I'm not using it any more just had to get them in something so I had to use the soil, also as for the blue dream, my main goal for her is a mother. As for the lst, do you think I did it right? I think it's looking good but id like to know for sure. Thank you for staying with my thread, I know I don't update very often but I wanna start updating more. Just let me know if you want any certain pics. The leaves on the biggest untopped bubba are as big as my palm if not bigger! I really wanna put a clone of this out doors next year I'll have leafs the size of hubcaps!
 
Give me a photoshoot of your blue dream.
Every angle you can imagine.
And especially her structure, I need to see branch points and such.

I'll help you shape her into something perfect for your space:leaf:
The LST above looks great, just make sure those thin paperclips don't cut off circulation.
You can move them just a nudge every day or so to 'adjust' them.
900th post!

Thanks man I will do I'll get every angle! I'll have them in like an hour or so, I might try to get a second set of lights on like wednesday or Thursday, then I can make a nice scrog screen of that beautiful purple bud, I'm gonna get a pic of the outdoors tommorow, I think I only have about 2-3 weeks left, the buds are beautiful!
As for the paper clips I move them every day, constantly adjusting and making sure that its being held down right
 
Well it took me a little longer then I thought, aha.
But here's the blue dream from pretty much every angle..

well ya got a damn good start going that's fo sho!!!!! just grow at your pace and don't get overwhelmed. just try to keep starting news ones and the rest will follow!!!
 
Yeah im gonna just grow these out and use them as mothers and just take like 2 or 3 clones a week, ya know? Is that a good idea? Or should I not do that?
 
sounds like a great plan. you might want to take one of those clones from each plant and put it into flower, just to try it out and see which one you like and which ones ya don't.
 
Yeah. That sounds great, I was thinking of making that large lst'd clone of area 51 into a scrog in a separate compartment in the cabinet. Then get the mothers and clones set up, at that time I can use the scrog compartment into the flowering cabinet Sounds good? I think it would work perfect,
 
Awesome thanks man! I want a nice screen of these purple buds, I'll get a pic of my outdoors bud that's the mother of that clone, it's 2-4 weeks till chop, beautiful purple buds!
 
Pictures! yeah! ~

Outdoor "area 51"
Delicious purple pistils with nice glistening nugs, aroma is of very pungent lemony dank smell. Enjoy my Babygurl

Anyone know how much longer till harvest?
