![]() ![]() PPM's are down under 175 and I know not much of that is nutrients, this girl will be needing to be fed soon. I'm looking at the plant and it seems to me she is getting a blue-green hue starting to show, which I believe is may be a major deficiency starting to manifest. Now I just need to work on my own training. So far so good with the training of the plant. Still working on getting her to fill the tent, did some defoliation and topped a few of the branches that are starting to shoot up, pulled a few toward the outside and tied em down. So I finally had a chance to get in and work on this plant, she was getting out of control. As I said before, if I had it to do over I would do hydro from the start, although I am still very interested in growing in organic soil one day.Ĭlick to expand.Beautiful Max, yea I'm working on the same skill, just not as far along as you! The chiller is a must have for the most part too and I also highly recommend a constant system ppm/ph/temp monitor. Pretty simple plumbing, some buckets, couple of pumps, water and air lines and some air stones. My system I bought from PA Hydroponics but now that I have my feet wet, I would get the parts and build one myself next time around. ![]() It is and will be a great learning experience when said and done. I'm trying to get her to spread out and fill the tent better before flip and she just wants to stay squat, lol. The vigorous genetics together with the hydro makes for an interesting journey so far. ![]() This Mac Dragon has been an amazing plant to work with and also challenging. Glad to have you on the thread Jeff and thank you for all your great contributions to the Cannabis culture! I'm brand new to RDWC and so I'm flying by the seat of my pants sometimes it feels like, getting some great help here at the Farm and I am learning, can't wait to get a couple RDWC grows under my belt. Ironically, I generally hear back the adrenaline dragon (Super qrazy haze x amber dragon) is one that people don't believe the numbers on as shes so devastingly potent. Lowest numbers I seen have come outta the amber dragon lines, with those typically coming in 16-20%, dont have terp reports done on those as those were older lines before the terp analysis was so widely available and inexpensive. Not to say every pheno of that line is that terpene rich, but in general, I smoke a TON so for something to make it into my breeding program they typically have to be potent enough to cut thru my tolerance levels, and if it aint stanky, its not a keeper imo. Modified Macberry Moonshine is another one of my high ones, first run cannaessentails pulled 26% and 4.7% terps, round 2 they pulled 29% and 5.9% terps. The mac dragon #7 (mom used in all my mac dragon reversals such as the bx1 you are growing) was in the 25-28% range with 2-3% terps. ![]() Biggest numbers I've seen have been from Congolese kush, seen many reports over the years from that line - 24%-32% and 5-7% terps. Really varies by line, but generally the reports for nearly all my genetics have come in 21-30% with generally 1.5-6% terps. Of note, look at the size of that main stem! That stem is bigger than most of my soil plants at harvest time. I will keep reading the plant and looking for signs that she is getting hungry and for the most part, keep my hands in my pockets. I see the ppm dropping and I figure at some point I’m going to have to start adding nutrients but I’m not sure what that point is. Temps have been 72F give or take, RH 50 to 60%. If you look close you can see it in a couple of these photos. I do not interpret this to be nutrient burn, not sure what to make of it. PPMs have been slowly dropping, and I have noticed a very tiny little bit of leaf tip burn on a very few fan leaves. I added a gallon of water today and 2 mL of pH down to bring it to 5.8. I’ve given her almost 2 gallons of water since the first of the month, pH stabilized, quit dropping, and started a very steady and slow rise. Finding it much more difficult to keep up with the pace but I will get it! This is some great experience as the last time, my first Hydro experience, she really got away from me. Things are so short and compact it’s hard to decide where to direct all the branches. I’ve continued to defoliate and train, but this plant it is definitely taxing my abilities for LST. 36 days in the system and from what I can tell things are going stellar. ![]()
