Just wanted to share my first ever girl! critical purple, dwc, 12 weeks

Thanks for the reply. I’m growing them in DWC using botanicare grow, bloom, hydroguard, cal mag and silica blast. Their ppm has never been over 400. But it is ok to harvest these? The buds are small, but pretty frosty.

I have two critical purple autoflowers that are on day 75 of their grow. They started blooming super early on and never really had many fan leaves. The pistils are about 90% orange and curled in, the trichomes are getting milky, but the buds are pretty tiny compared to a 3rd plant i have...

Hi All, First time grower here with Critical Purple in a DWC setup. I am at week 12 of the grow and was wondering if anyone had any pointers on what indicators to look for that will suggest its time to harvest. I have a microscope and the trichomes are still looking pretty clear but the...

Much appreciated man, thank you for the insights!

First time grower here looking for some advice on switching up my lighting schedule. Grow summary is as below: - Running Critical Purple autoflowers - DWC hydro system - LEDs - Botanicare nutes I have been running these for the first 3.5 weeks on a 24 hour light schedule. I live in Las Vegas...

One other One other elementary question. I’m at the point where the plants are drinking pretty good and I have to add water every other day or so. Should I be adding a nutrient mixture when I add water or just pH’d water? I’m changing out the res every 7 days just because it works for my...

I run hydroguard. Every res change it’s in there and I have been adding a cup of it a day to the sick plant with a mixture of 2mL per gal

Appreciate the insights fellas. So you don’t think it’s root rot?

- I’m using General Hydroponics pH down and up - I’m using RO water that is < 10 ppm - PPM is nutrients in that bucket is 409 and we’re in week 3. - Using Botanicare Pro grow, bloom, hydro guard, silica blast and CalMag. - Water level is about an inch below net pot - Temp in my tent is about...

Hey man, mind taking a look at the post I just put in the thread and letting me know your thoughts? Much appreciated!!

My pH has been between 5.5-6.5 the entire grow. It fluctuates up daily then i bring it back down every night before bed. When i say it fluctuates, its only going into the low 6's but i bring it back down to 5.5ish. Its been about a week since I started this thread. Since then I have been...

That is water temps. I’ll throw in some water bottles to cool the res. Should autos run a 24 hour light cycle? Man, home growing in vegas is a pain in the ass!

Any thoughts on adjusting the lighting schedule to help reduce heat during hottest times of the day? Or should I leave the lights on 24 hours for autos?

Thanks again for all of the good info regarding the germination process, I'll let you know how it goes! I am growing autos this time around and running them on a 24 hr light schedule. Perhaps being in a high temperature area I should give them a 4-6 hour break midday when temps are highest...
