Week 6 flip time. She's looking good, just need to keep her tied down and spread out. Last one got out of hand and crowded each other. I think using the plant steaks like I did has helped tie them down.
Last week I use 10/7.5/2 and PH dropped .4 daily. Replaced water with 5/5/5 and PH is much more stable. So next time I will go from 5/5/5 => 10/10/10 and as she flowers I'll try to use 10/15/15. Quite a bit different than the critical I grew DWC last time.
Very nice DWC growth! 💪
Wondering are you using GHE’s Soft water micro? …Which has 6% Ca, and if you have, do you still use Cal/Mg supplements?
Soft water micro should provide Ca enough even for RO.
I’m using the sof water one and haven’t had add any Cal/Mag supplements to my DWC reservoir yet.
Good call with the stakes zip tied to the lid. I couldn't figure out a good way to tie it down so I gave up LST for my DWC it but the mainline shape has been working. Good luck with the rest of the grow!
I realize I'm late to the grow, but I'm just starting my first hydro grow in two 5 gallon bubble buckets when I stumbled on your diary. I'm using the Fox Farm trio along with Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz, and Chi Ching, since it's already on my shelf. I've been primarily a living soil grower, since early on, but want to experience more control over my grow so giving hydro a try. In any event, I'm really enjoying reading through your diary. Keep it smoking...
