Shark shock - March 2020 Growth

Thanks !

For hydro, our current setup is an Alien RDWC V1 with 4 sites of 20L buckets, a full automation/monitoring driven by a GroLab system ( https://opengrow.pt/ ) in a custom G-Tools cabinet.

Due to some design flaws of the Alien rdwc, we have bought a new IWS Pro "dumpback" system that will replace the Alien later this year, with the water tank residing outside the box ( we will use a slim "caravan style" water tank located outside but still attached to the growbox ).

And hopefully, after 2 succesful sessions using the IWS, we will install pressure probes in the box and start fiddling with co2/temperatures.

In theory, a well tuned rdwc should bring a 20% yield increase, and I have read that co2 supplementation can bring another 30% yield increase.

Can I reach a minimum of 600 gr/dry per m2 with 4 plants, no matter the strain type ? I dont know, but it's my goal :)

We try to learn and improve the process continuously.
 
Week 3 of veg

We have a short internode distance and new potential colas are showing up ... :D

But while still too small, they will be switched to flo next Saturday :(

Veg week 3 is behind us, we are now entering the first week of flo ...


The plants are getting huge, and we had to cut some blocking fan leaves to optimize the light dispersion on the lowest parts.

When I look at their growth, I think we won't change anything in their feeding but simply adapt for the flowering regimen, of course :rolleyes:

We can clearly see that the plants grew faster and stronger when we switched : there's like a second level of leaves. :)

Groooooow ! :D

Very exciting, DarkAgdistis! I think SS is great smoke, FWIW. Great THC levels I thought. Good luck!
 
Week 2 flo - mid week

@P3Ci thanks :)

We have defoliated slightly by removing few fan leaves so air circulates well.

Still waiting to see the gender :rolleyes:

Week 3 flo ! :D

I think we we got a male and 3 females ... even though one is still doubtfull.

As you can see on the pictures, we have defoliated all of them and chopped the male.

They still grow very well and with such a small stretch, too bad they couldn't be left in veg for 2 or 3 more weeks.

I normally dont post three times in one week but when I saw how they grew in 48 hours, I "had to" share ;)

Their size is getting impressive for such a short veg time :eek:
