My Water Culture

here’s a much better photo of the clones!


They are turned towards the light now. I’ll add nutrient when they seem to be ready to root.

Meat breath are doing great! I am going to move the big bud today I think most likely probably!

There was still a bit of moisture in the king tut buds so I left the sack open. It’s perfect today, I’m going to bag it all up and stack it!

Got it stacking in sacks! Also I moved the big buds. Photos!


I think you can see almost the entire bloom room there. Dehumidifiers and shit. yay!

Wow, looking good! :v::peace_symbol::v:

Thanks! I am going to juice those plants up today, so they get growing/blooming! Meanwhile here’s the meat breath.

ok I did something nobody thought I would do. I changed out the solution on the buckets that were down to basically water. I remembered that the “problem” which was undiagnosed got solved by changing out the solution. So I did an end run and changed it out since those plants were the last in the batch that underwent the 36 hour power outage. Prevention???!!! whaaaaa? but here’s the root balls of three of them. I didn’t do the fourth because it’s EC was still 1.4. I’ll let that come down a bit more heh heh.


This third one is the king tut root ball. I gave it what I would consider lunatic juice, so we’ll see the result. Perhaps I should be pushing the EC above 3…it is huge after all. Really old plant.

3 EC man thats nuts. My plants are big bitches and they only need 1.3EC

yah I admit it’s kind of nuts. Usually I’m rolling with EC 2.6 max but this time I cranked it to EC 3.4! Totally off the hook! King tut hasn’t been performing up to par, so I decided to mix it up.


There’s the plant I super juiced. Perhaps I should have been doing that all along for those king tuts. You can see it’s not even very clawed up on the leaves due to high EC.

This isn’t the best photo in the world, but you can hopefully see the damage caused by the pathogens before I cleaned them up. Then the clones that survived, finally rooted. Rooted clones were not affected.

There’s another strange thing. I know the meat breath would be laid to waste by a super high EC like that. As in probably not survivable! I stay in the 2.6 range for them. One day I should try super crazy dose on them… but I remember from the past, some plants get super shocked if you climb too high.
2.6 most plants can handle, 3.4 crazy plants and then there are the plants that can only take a super low dose like the sugar black rose. 2.0. Quite the spread, but then…the real question is what is the “thing” about the plant…that determines how much EC it can handle overall? Something to do with the leaf? The root? What enables extra osmosis power? Xylem size? Just another question to kick around.

I gapped it on the TLC report! Turns out TLC can reverse changes from excessive LITFA. The big bud plants were reverted to veg and stayed that way. Hooooray! I was tired of losing time to revegging… It was definitely caused by leaving the plants in the shadows for way too long. I suppose leaving them on ice under LED can have that effect! It never happened like that when I was vegging under HPS, I suppose it put out… more IR spectrum? Whaaaaatevs’! Rather than analyze the outcome, I will change to this new reality. Don’t ice the plants under LED or you will have to reveg them. <-- no big deal I s’pose.

You might be able to avoid it by pushing up the room temps while you are icing them. Perhaps the ice pushes them too far cos they are already a bit on the cold side due to the LEDs.

naw it’s not literally ice, but the light levels are so low, I have the plants hidden off to the side underneath other plants. I try to just give them enough light to live without growing. I think I went too far.

Going to move these plants soon. I just have to plug in a different pump.

here’s franken plant and it’s friends. Franken plant looks male still, no signs on the triploid part though.
