My grow diary by bob

So for my own reference cause im actually working on working it out. Any advice and input is welcome. For reference its hydrocrop two part dry nutes.

Epsom salt should be used at around 14g per 4L/1 gallon?

i think i should lean the feed towards part A rather than 50/50 if its 1g per litre of A and 1g per litre of part B then i could do 1.3g part A and 0.7g part B per litre of water in the res. (This is gearing towards veg) … :crossed_fingers:

2.5ml of the dilute calcium hydrochloride for every 4L / 1 gallon and the dilute is made up out of 20g to 1L and put in every time i mix up new batch of water which should be every two weeks but apparently i can add it more often. (I forgot what i have been told about it)

Still going and growing.

@Esrgood4u whats the stretch on these cookies kush again? Im getting the feeling i want the hydro ones to get bigger seeing as they are autos im not too worried but i could always flip when they start showing signs of flower

They don’t stretch much bro. Maybe 2x. I usually flip them once I couldn’t see the top of the dwc bucket lids and they usually grew to around 1m in height.

@Bob13 how old are these cookie kush??? It seems like you’ve had them going for months. They “should” have matured and showed sex by now??

Yeah had them since bloody july they were badly stunted and should have been done by now. I dont think one jas shown sex yet :rofl: to be fair i could set up the tent the other end and flower them out now under the 150w but i need more lights really to seperate out to two grow areas

Some more calculations for helping my sieve like memory.
To convert the current res to 60/40 a/b i need to add in 0.25g per L of A. I think the plants can take that extra push of ec and hopefully thatll help. I need to check the ph runoff which is always a fun task and maybe add a little more chlorine or whatever it is to the dwc … maybe?

Oh i was poking about and looking, they are showing sex but at their current size i wouldnt expect more than a half to an oz per plant yeild which isnt gonna cut it with these leccy prices :tired_face:
If i got insulation and a mh or hps or whatever hot light i might help them and solve my lighting problem but money is gonna be tight

Added part A at 0.25g per L (1g per 4L) to all the water res’s and added more chlorine as it was around 10-12 days ago?? We will see if they improve :man_shrugging:

Instead of changing the light out buy a greenhouse heater mate.

Could do, i was just considering it would be a double whammy and get me more light and heat.
I think insulating the area is gonna be more important than heating it as we will hit 0 or near enough during nights now.

Coming along now in size and the dwc is picking up its pace.

Im feeding at a 60/40 ratio of a to b but i think i need to give a higher ec or something. The ph in and ph runoff is fine.


@Esrgood4u these are getting better but still showin some rust spots not sure if i need to add something.

If you do I’d welcome some into my grow space as long as the timing is right. :+1:
The parent grew big assed buds that shrank down to 1inch solid rocks that made a thud when you dropped it on a table.

I dont mind pulling a good few clones if you want to help gimme a few pointers on which to pick. I wont know whats good till i flower em out

Find a plant you like. Let it side branch. Cut the side branch off. These are your clones/cuttings.
Scrape the outer layer from the stalk of the cutting. Drop it in water or a cloner. Watch the roots emerge in about 2 weeks.
