Orange Sherbert - DWC

ParanoidGuy * Wednesday: The little seedling looks great ! I had to change the solution one more time yesterday because it was cloudy again and the ph was raising. Now I think this is not even related to a bacterial infection. It must come from my ph down but why ??? The anti limestone action maybe ? Idk ! I ordered some good old ph down that always worked for me, it should arrive next Monday ! In the meantime I run my DWC without pH down to see if the water gets white again or not. I suspect it wont ! * Thursday: I already received my good old pH min by Plagron with a new ph meter :). The plant spent 3 days in simple tap water and still look okay. I just calibrated the meter and prepared a new solution with optimal pH and nutrients. Everything should get back on track now ! When I opened the bucket, the water was still crystal clear and I already have little roots showing up in the bottom of the net-pot. I didn't use any bennies because I think I won't need them.

ParanoidGuy * Monday No signs of white solution nor root rot 🙏. The roots are looking amazingly white and long. So far so good. * Monday evening I see a little brown spot on one of the roots. So I add some bactors13 to the soup ! * Tuesday The water is all dark because of the bacteria. I see that the roots are getting a little brown, I read online that it's okay with bennies... So I am praying right now 🙏. The plants looks okay though. * Wednesday The plant looks good, still making plenty of roots. But the leaves are a little bit wavy. I just topped the plant right after I took the picture. * Thursday I was checking my reservoir, the bennies are doing a great job. The roots are long and beautiful, dipping in a very dark soup! No more signs of the brown spots. The plant is still growing nicely even though I topped it yesterday, I can already see some new little side branches starting. Another thing I noticed today, the bennies help a lot in keeping my pH stable in the reservoir. Before I used to see a pH raise of 0.5-0.6 overnight. Now with the bennies I get barely a 0.1 increase :) TNC BactorrS13 is a great stuff ! * Firday Autopilot mode. Nothing to do for one week almost, pH rock stable. I guess that's how it should be :D * Saturday Nothing special. The plant looks amazing. * Sunday Everything is looking good.

ParanoidGuy * Monday SHE GROWS ! I changed the reservoir, and decided to use a new formula: Lucas Formula with Maxibloom only (AKA KISS formula). I see some people not recommending to switch nutrient during the grow cycle, but I always do that specific switch: Flora trio for the first 2-3 weeks of growth then switch to MaxiBloom. I also decided add a pinch of bacteria, just to keep those roots safe 😀 * Tuesday The pH is slowly raising, it is at 5.9pH. No correction today because I like to let it rise a little more before that. It seems like I missed my topping because I see something growing between the main stems ! * Wednesday The plant don't look good, I think I see some clawing so I decide to add tap water to the reservoir. Getting back from 1.3EC to 1. * Friday The plant is recovering slowly from the nutrient burn. Something is weird though, I pH my reservoir @5.8 Wednesday after refill and it dropped to 5.5. I see lots of side branches growth ! I decided to pinch & bend some branches today.

ParanoidGuy This week, I made lighter solutions because the whole plant looked burned last week. I think it is recovering now. I see some nice white roots in the solutions. Lots of them ! Also did some LST to try to expose more tops.
