Freskshow Hydro Grow (First Hydro Run)

***Mar 15 Sending her into flower!! The roots look crazy thick, and new growth coming down once again! All of the branches have been growing very evenly, with the help of me rotating it every once in a while (one side closer to the wall than the other) and let me tell you, the stem rub is DANK. I am looking so forward to the end results to this grow, and to see how it takes the stretch. I added a tad more nutrients than normal, in preparation for the surge in growth hormones. My plan is to remove the Root Farm Base nutrient by the time stretch is finished, because the Plant-Prod has more than enough nitrogen in it. May also start adding more soluble seaweed after stretch as long as the little bit extra I added doesn't make my roots black and slimy. Node spacing is pretty good, not too tight, but not too far apart either. This is the best pheno I've run for the freaks thus far, and so happy with everything so far. (Maybe it's just the grow style, and the environment, but still lol) Still not sure about the sex, but still secretly hoping it's a male. You can smell the plant even when just simply plucking the top 2 fan leaves as they become sun blockers, and if smell correlates in any way to potency, then these is going to be some exciting results! ***Mar 19 This girl is really plugging along, the roots are a massive heavy knot, and the leaves at the tops are starting to fold upwards and look like bud sites. I feel, where this pheno didn't get super lanky like I see most freakshows, that I may actually get some "nugs" off this one. Instead of what I normally see, which is a ton of thrichomes loosely spread around the fan leaves. Smells of piney fresh lemon cleaner, with lavender undertones. I get a nice smell everytime I even just brush my hand against some of the leaves. The stem rub is where the smell really shines, though. ***Mar 20 I had a ton of stuff written here...but updating on mobile has been the bane of my existence, and it randomly decides to delete everything I've jotted down... ANYWAY. She has been sending herself into flower very nicely. There's a lot of growth happening on the inside which I will need to clean up, but I don't want to stress it out while it's stretching, so I will take care of the clean up after stretch has finished. She is one thirsty girl, I've been needing to top up the reservoir almost every day. She's been drinking about 4 cups of water each time. The PPM went down to around 990-1000 from the starting point of around 1500. I don't want to add any more nutes at this moment because I will be refreshing the reservoir in a day or two anyway. I would like to add a little extra Root Farm Veggie next time because she has been showing great signs and I feel like she can handle it. I won't touch the nitrogen content until after another week and I can confirm stretch is finished, and then I will start to lower to nitrogen content I put into the water. PH went up to 6.4/6.3 so I lowered it back down a tad to 6. The humidity has been a little high during the night, or at least by the time I wake up and check on things (80%) but mind you that it's most likely from all the vegetables growing in the same tent. I keep the tent door open wide during the day to bring the humidity back down to around 40-50% (it's already down to 68% in less than an hour) and none of the plants seem to mind, except for the spinach, which I removed to a less humid spot. The lid is getting very heavy when I am trying to peek on the roots and reservoir, I will need to get another set up after this run is finished, because I know for a fact I will be trying hydro again. I just love how this is turning out, and it's a lot more fun for me personally to be in total control, unlike soil, where you kind of monitor it and make sure the ecosystem is happy for your plant to thrive in it. This is it from me til next week! Thank you all for following along! 💚
