Hello there!
Let's start with an overview:
  • space: 2x2ft (60x60cm) tent.
  • light: 4x Citizen clu048-1212c4-353m2k1 (3500k, 80cri, gen5) @1050mA.
  • medium: coco + perlite in 3lt (0,8gal) smart pots.
  • strain: 4x Fruit Punch by Heavyweight Seeds.
    3x C99 by Female Seeds.
Last time I have been unlucky, I grown just one plant in a dwc bucket and it was a bad genetic of Blue Dream.
This time I want to avoid this! I will flower all 7 as soon as possible and I will select the best one of each strain to make a mother.

What are you feeding them with? Or what are you going to feed them with, as they probably don't take much right now.

As base nutrients I use the FloraNova Duo by General Hydroponics
+ H&G roots excelurator
+ Silicate

I will expand my feeding regime while they grow

Little update!
Plants seem to have recovered from the transplant but they are sill growing slowly compared to a dwc system.
C99s are growing as a sativa is supposed to, long internodal distance.
One FPunch is growing slowly and is far short than the others, dunno why.

Btw I forgor to say I am vegging under 1x 1212 @50w

With cameras, or should I say, photography - it is as much about light as it is about the camera or even the object being photographed.

Since we don't really see the object, but light reflecting off the object... with enough intense light, even a crappy camera takes half-decent shots.

Ty. I think it's due to the software I used too.
Btw there i have low ambient light. I'll try to take better photos next time

So was the DWC grow your 1st attempt to grow weed and this batch is the second?

If so, you should expect slower growth than in coco than DWC, but faster than soil.

I picked up a bag of coco and 3 packs of seeds from a new "in-person" seed source.

I got Star Pupil, Prayer Pupil and Pineapple Flo, 2 are fem and one is regular.

I guess their trademark is the purple color of the resulting bud... should be interesting. I'll add a new journal when I drop the seeds.
