Starting up a late journal on test run through a completely new system. The plan is to run 2 waterfarms side by side in scrog in a 4'x4' tent. Light is from a 600watt hps from veg to harvest, in a cool tube, with a 770cfm blower venting out of room. Oscillating fan, blower, and air pumps on 24/7. Waterfarm is drilled and supplemented by an air stone. Nutrients being used started with 3 part GH at the Lucas formula, now running Iconic Bloom (Was planning on switching to Flora Nova bloom at Lucas formula, but the Iconic I accidentally bought has the plant looking so much healthier than the GH nutrients). Ph sits at 5.5-6. This is my first time working with HIDs, hydroponics, rockwool, and quality strains.
I hastily started some White Rhino in the rockwool, only to find out that rockwool isn't quite as idiot proof as soil. I ended up trying some freebee seeds until I could a method down, and got some Fruit Auto to sprout. Getting comfortable with rockwool, I decided to start off with some Hawiian snow. Unfortunately the only photo I have of the Fruit Auto before harvest is of it being stressed to hell after overwatering it in rockwool.
It ended up flowering very early (more so than I was expecting) and only reached a foot high. Still gave a great harvest for its size, 40g dry.
The Hawiian snow stuck to the plan, and I started weaving improperly.
Scrap chicken fence seemed like enough for a test run, I'll work on something more solid on the next run. After discovering my mistake, I fixed it. Here's the plant all stressed out after clipping the fence out.
It recovered well. I decided to remove the wire and run the rest of the grow as a bush, as the chicken fence restricted upward growth too much, and the plant had begun to span the entire 4x4 space within the tent. Here she is a few hours ago, day 13 of flowering.
