After spending the best part of 3 months in ITU over Christmas they finally discharged me I couldn't have been happier
I got home to find every single plant I had including mothers that were 3 weeks in flower well I went ballistic ripped 90% of them out and had to reveg the clone's & mother's I wanted to keep.
God only knows why
So I then had to figure out what I was going to do luckily I gave a friend a Burmese Kush plant so he gave me a few clones 20 to be precise ready for bringing the old 20 pot Wilma system out of retirement (That's another story in itself) but the plants didn't look too good.
They had some deficiencies nothing major so they were put into 6l pots with a mix of Echo Thrive & clay pebbles where I thought they would pick up little did I know what the very near future would bring!
The same person who decided to flower all my plants made another blunder a big one at that after working with water for the best part of 20 years he should know better than buying hard water nutrients (Which I had no knowledge of them being in the room)
I have really soft water it doesn't register on a Bluelab truncheon! The clones went downhill rapidly, ph drifting all over hour to hour but could I hell pinpoint what the problem was.
It wasn't until I had been sat there for a couple of hours looking around I noticed "Hard" on the side of the nutrient bottles that's when the penny dropped by this time it was too late for 20 Burmese so they got put in the bin.
I needed to get something going sharpish so I did something that goes against everything I swore I wouldn't do after receiving a load of Super Lemon haze cuttings last year carrying more than just leaves, Stems & shoots, A few Spider Mite eggs I mist, As everybody knows a few turns into thousands in a short time.
Anyway, I bought 10 Disco Biscuits, 6 were ok.
Two not even rooted properly in a 1-inch cube disgraceful!
Another that was lagging behind.
One labeled PD knowing what strains are grown around here can only be Purple Stawdawg the last one is a bit of a mystery it was labeled F. Pebbles anyone got any idea?
Right on to the grow, I ended up putting the PD & FB into a small tent with my other seedlings & clones the other six left into the dripper system where they have been for coming up to 14 days.
Initially, they grew fast then all of a sudden 3 days ago they slowed down till they gradually started getting what looks to me like either Nitrogen/Calcium/Magnesium or Phosphorus so they had a few hours flush plain water PH 5.5 as always then refilled with nutrients plus Canna Mono Nitrogen, Phosphorus & Cal/Mag.
At the side of the dripper system there is one of Foe20's BUBBA KUSH X BUBBA/OG KUSH F2 in a 30l pot filled with Echo Thrive, It grows like palm tree shit loads of 1,2,3,4 & 5 bladed leaves quite droopy with shoots underneath, No matter how many leaves get took off the day after it looks like it hasn't been touched.
big Kritikal Bilbo x AK47 also in a 30l pot been tied down.
Both plants are really healthy.
I can say without a doubt even my first grows oh just one when I was growing in the bath upstairs and couldn't get to them for obvious reasons.
Disco's when they first arrived.

4 days in system
Day 10 just before things started going tits up!
