DWC Wedding Cake

📆 Week 1, 23-29 January 2024 23 January - Placed sprout into permanent 5 gal Deep Water Culture home. Main tap root showing and will hit the water immediately. Placed clear dome over top to control VPD until outside weather conditions return to normal, that influence the indoor humidity levels. Currently the temperature is 0-5 degrees F. 25 January - Removed dome from plant, outside normal humidity levels have returned to 40-50%. This helps to provide a more favorable tent RH. Ventalation and temperature can control VPD without additional moisture for the most part without too much stress to the seedling. Filled the bottom of plant basket with expanded clay pebbles. 29 January - Checked the seedling roots (see picture). Satisfied with the growth and development. 📑 I’m very transparent with my grows from start to finish. Genetics tell half the story, the other half is simply environmental conditions that influence the plant throughout its life cycle. During the first couple of weeks it is roots that must develope to support plant mass. Not much top growth will take take place. This is nothing to worry about. As long as all conditions are met for rapid growth it is doing its thing developing deep roots to find water and expanding its reach to support leaf matter. It will grow slowly, roots and leaf simultaneously, but until that root structure has developed sufficently, growth will not explode and this usually takes a couple of weeks. I guess what I’m saying is comparative success at this stage is very premature. 🍽️ 23 January Initial nutrient solution made 🐲 23 January feeding schedule posted 🌊 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🐉 Nutrient Solution EC 1.1 at 65 degree F 💡 Light power at 25% That is it for this week.
