Hello everyone , this is a second time growing using DWC. I really do love it when there's no problems, but when there are problems it can be devastating. I hope to be very successful in this grow, and it is a personal goal of mine to yeild at least an ounce. Himalaya Gold is from greenhouse seeds and is a plant that produces nice side colas. After she showed her pre-flowers I threw her into the 150w hps chamber.

Here she is when she was first thrown in:





5 days after initiated photoperiod of 12/12:




9 days of 12/12 photoperiod:



It should be a fun grow

You say you're using HPS so it may just be the light but, the plant seem a little yellow. Sure is growing well though. She looks lonely all by herself. Any reason you can't give her some friends to keep her company?

FreezerBoy - Yup it's just the light, I'll post a pic with it outside the chamber, she's green as can be. And she's going to be reunited with her old friend Satori tonight lol so she won't be as lonely. The satori will be grown in soil though. Thanks for stopping by.

Budtoker - The aroma isn't strong yet, but if I rub the stems I get a nice deep smell of hashish.
CheifsmokingBud - The light is now about 8" - 12" away from the top of my Himalaya Gold.
inkognyto - Thanks for the compliments.

Thank you all for stopping by, hope you enjoy the show.

nice HG! The internode is pretty tight and she looks like she's about to boost bud formation!
Make sure pH is slowly increasing and start soon with good PK shots....

the satori is back? I am also curious about her/him

franco.gh - Hello Franco, it's a pleasure to have you stop in my thread! I love the Himalaya Gold, it's such a hardy plant that grows strong and fast. I think she'll fill up my cab very nicely. She vegged for a good 30 days and I topped her around day 15 of veg. Once she was initiated into a 12/12 photoperiod the axial limbs shot out like crazy. I've been keeping the ph level around 5.5 throughout seedling and veg stages, and 5.8 through pre-flower and early flowering stages. I will keep slightly increasing the ph level, along with increasing the phosphorous and potassium levels as you suggested . She is starting to emit a beautiful deep and rich aroma like sweet hash. Here's one healthy root shot for you :smile:

Here's a few more pics of Himalaya Gold's recent bud formation









You can see the new bulbous trich formation


Here's Satori, he showed male preflowers so I'll collecting some pollen b/c I could see trich formation along the stem with a microscope

She looks perfect OP. What kind of temps are you dealing with (air &water)? I'd like to do DWC but I don't have a res chiller. Do you add ice or anything special to keep temps down??
