Where the OG's?

**Hazeus** · 25-07-20, 05:31 PM

Abit of a newbie at growing weed. I'm 22 days into a DWC 2 pot setup and I'm looking for a veteran to give me some tips on how to proceed. I had some root rot in the early days but added hydroguard and more oxygen then within 24 hours 95% of that annoying slimey shit was gone

When do I flip them? They're both wedding gelato. Which is 80% indica 20% sativa, or roundabouts. Currently on a 18/6 light cycle.

What training techniques should I be using? I've looked into Topping/FIMing, LST, lollipopping, defoliation, cloning etc but never tried any of them. If you'd recommend any, which and when?

I already feel like I should be removing some of these big fan leaves which look like they're shading the bud sites. I've attached some pics... And wtf are those brown/gold spots?

The spots look like a calcium deficiency...add some cal mag to your nutrient solution..

Looks good.

Which nutes are you running? Do you measure ph and ec?

Id take away the humidifier or at least put on low lest setting. Rh 60% is ideal.

Those spots on leaves look like either cal or mg deficiency ill never remember which is what ...

Atb man, open up a grow diary, so everyone can help.

General hydroponics 3 part nutrients. PH ranges anywhere between 5 - 8 but when I add or change the water I try to get it as near to 5.8 as I can. Same with PPM, usually in mid 300 range. Humidity is about 60% with the humidifier and can drop to 30s when it's off.

You clearly know your stuff. I get the feelin from ya profile you've been growing for a while. So any answers for my other questions?

Better measure ec than ppm. As ppm has 3 different values i think.. hanna truncheon and another one.. so better use Ec like majority of growers. Go for 1.0 EC during veg and what u mean between 5 to 8 lol.. u need 5.8 ph during veg and 6.0 during flower plus minus 0.2 ec swing... So 5.6 to 6.0 during veg and 5.8 to 6.2 during flower.

I dont know GH nutes but keep ur water temp below 20c..

Doesnt matter which technique u gona choose.

Dont over feed. Keep stats good. Im having extreme rh problem in my current grow waiting on de humidifier.

Veg u can go up to 30c and 70% rh . Flower keep 26-7c and 40-50% rh. Good air circulation ia crucial.

Id go for an early topping then lst anyday. In your shoes now id use bamboo sticks to shape em a little bit wider. Id flip the switch yesterday, as they gona stretch and double in size.

Thanks man, I'll flip it to 12/12 tonight. Might even top one of them too. Should I put the HPS bulb in straight away or leave the MH bulb in for abit longer?
