That’s what makes this plant so much fun to grow is the number of ways to that flower. Next grow I’ll walk you through the method I use if your interested.

Sounds good, thanks. I’m curious about various growing techniques. I’m going through your thread now, albeit slowly. I’m enjoying reading it and learning too. You’re heavily invested and it’s impressive.

Day 71
I suppose she won’t get much more vertical from her main stem? I’d like for her branches to stretch a little higher off the lid.

The reservoir change was last Sunday and she was at 650 ppm and she is hanging around 620 this morning. Her PH barely went up- 5.7 up to 5.9.

Water temp 69°
Lights I’m using is a KIND X330 led. It’s at 100% full spectrum and about 36 inches above her.

74: This morning she received a light defol and a res change. Her roots are half white and half brown. The water is clean and clear and the hydroguard is working well.
I think the discoloration of some other new growth is root health related.

Will look to flip toward the end of the month or first week into April.

Planning to flip in about 2.5 weeks.

I increased the PPM to 750 on Sunday. She doesn’t like it that high as evidenced by her tip curl, discoloration and the beginnings of tip burn. I diluted her back to 600 PPM by adding RO.

Good morning.

Res change and nute increase from 600 to 770 PPM.
5.7 ph
Water temp is 69°
I don’t prefer my current tote set up. It’s not easy making anchor points for LST from the base. I’ll likely change this up next grow.

She’s kicking into high gear now. She drank more this week than ever before, so she’s eager.

after the 12/12 flip, she'll stretch out nicely - looking much better now, good job!

I bring bad news.

I am traveling right now and my wife has been caring for my plants. She sent me photos of my plant and she was looking very rough. I asked her to check PH and it was high at 6.5. She lowered it and the next day she still looked really bad.

Then she lifted the lid further to find mold all underneath the lid and on the roots/net pot.

I noticed high humidity on my app and when I asked why it was so high, she said we had water infiltration in the basement.

The basement and my home is undergoing major renovations and the basement is being waterproofed this week, but until then it’s a mess.

Zoom in and you can see the fuzz.

I had two basil plants and two other cannabis strains in the same tent so those are also contaminated. Along with the tent.

My wife got rid of all of it today. Now I get to go home and sanitize a tent.

At least my basement will be done this week. It’s been a rainy bitch.
I will drink a thick pour of scotch tonight. I am sad.

It’s time to start over. Before I do, I’m buying a commercial dehumidifier. I am remodeling my basement so there will be some accommodations made for growing. It’s a learning process for me.

I grabbed more seeds from @Trustfall and will get after it again.
