Ill have some picture updates soon. The EC meter I have is the vivosun TDS Meter. I cant figure out how to read it the ec on that is a complete different number then what the fox farm suggestions are. My ph has been steady at 6.5-7 I try to keep it be
Sorry yes your correct Chow it does indeed have the EC function which is such an easier function to understand when vs with PPM anyway Chow is right for Hydroponic DWC especially. The ph needs to be around 5.5 to 6.5 ideally you wanna aim for 5.8- 6.0. though I would check your chart as to what water to use or what they advise because you haveto take into account the extra ec already in your tap water. cause you will not get accurate readings if you dont :) Personally I would not go over 0.6 ec for seedlings then 1.0 for preveg and then upto around 1.6 to 1.8 for veg and I can go as high as 2.3 in late flower :) You'll find with some experimentation you will find the sweet spot eventully :) DWC is the way I chose to cultivate its fast :)
So one plant seems to have some potassium deficiency. Since then I have changed the
Water and it only seems to be on older leaves.
Any comments to the health of the plants would be helpful.
The numbers I read for each plant are about even across the board
PH 6-6.3
Ppm500-700
Ec 1-1.3
The 3 plants got the water changed a week ago and got 3.5 gallons of filtered water and then 3 TAble spoons each of grow big and big bloom.
So far besides the big of discoloration on the one plant they seemed good to me but let me know if any one sees something else
Thank you
Hey all so how do these 3 plants look? Only one has some discoloration since then I changed the water
Ph6 ish
Ec 1-1.3
Ppl500-700
These are rough averages
I did some trimming and low stress training. According to fox farms booklet I should switch to flowering by now 12/12 on/off but the plants still seem a bit small so I was waiting another week or so just to see what happens any suggestions ? Thanks all
Things seem to be going well. Flowering on my indoor dwc plants. And some bonus pics of my 1 out door “control” plant
Any comments or times are appreciated.
Que maravilha ✌️
Boa sorte no cultivo e aproveita o desenvolvimento 👍
E no final que tenhas uma grande colheita 🌱🌱

Great work so far :) you can leave it in veg state for as long as you wish. It will increase your final yield. I leave my plants for usually 6-7 weeks in veg before switching, with great results.
Good luck man! Glad to see another fellow DWC growmie! Just a few friendly suggestions, might wanna fill those buckets up to the top with more pebbles if you have more. It will help with supporting your stretching seedlings and also makes more of a barrier to block the light from your roots. Your plants may be small like that for 2 weeks old because their roots have probably not hit the water yet enough. I like to poor a cup of water from the bucket over the top pebbles and roots every day until you see them coming out the basket and into the water. Keep your water high so the basket is just barely submerged in the water until the roots are coming out of the basket. Then drop the water for a 1-2 inch gap between the basket and your water. This should help your plants, once the roots get going then look out, It’s growing time! Lol try to keep your water temps bellow 20c if you can as well and try to keep your ph at 6.0 is easiest when first starting. You can very easily over nutrient them too in DWC so don’t follow any guides on nutrient bottles. For the first 2 weeks feed very little, 1/4 dose maybe max. Then up the dose to half strength and go from their. Typically half strength is the most your gonna wanna feed it unless your a pro. Your got some healthy plants though so should see them start to ramp up growth soon. Cheers 💨
