FC3000 SLH GHS 1st DWC

Welcome to my purple og punch contest diary. Thanks for visiting, be sure to drop a like so I know u visited and I can do so on your grows. 9_5_22 So, the penny dropped last night when I had to look closely and think y, are my DWC grows behind my soil grows. Then I looked down into the bowl the net pots are sitting in. They were empty, (Well not high enough that the plant could drink at it's own pace), it was only getting fed the 1 time a day when I'd soak the rockwool which is enough, right up until it's not, (the roots break through the other side of the rockwool), and you are meant to have the water in your DWC tanks for the 1st wk or 2 up past the base of the net pot. (I knew this, I just completely forgot to do it) as it wasn't an issue for the 1st few days, then growth slowed down. Why, well because the plant was only getting a light feed once a day on the roots that broke through the rockwool and had nothing to drink but dust from clay pebbles. I quickly realised where I was tripping up and added water to the bowls so I'm hoping to see massive growth this week. Here's what I plan to do for preflowering. I've also turned the light from 65% - 87.5%. Holding that lil bit of an extra kick for preflowering given with as much co2 time I can give them in their new homebox ambient 150+ 150x150x220 will allow me to go big and will widen in most areas what I can do with these girls. I'll be keeping a 50x50 space free in my tent for the 20l dehuimifier that will be running in the tent with my 800m3 6 inch EC/TEMP C9NTROLLED PRIMA KILMA intake fan will be turned on, by request OF the new automated dehuimdifying/temp controlled area which will allow me to grow in high co2 environment for at least 25 mins out of every 30. It'll all depend how quick my 3 co2 bags can bring up the ppm. And I'll only be doing this for preflower only then I'll go back to a negative pressure environment....(I'll be given detailed info on how to do all this correctly as it happens in the coming weeks, and after I've finished my research on these methods. I've already bought all the gear. Tent/lights/co2 bags/AC temp controlled 800m3 intake/ co2 ppm reader. And a few other bits you will need to create a sealed co2 environment. It's just for 2-3 weeks of preflower and then I'll focus on bringing temps up high during light on 28-30c max and as low as 20-18c max with lights off for terpness. And to bring the best out in all my Purple strains. 10/5/22 Roots broke down into the water. Should have put the water in last week. 11_5_22 After a 2 day soft flush, I've upped the nutrient terra Power and all nutrient mixes up and plants are starting to show light defs. Nothing that's going to throw them into a stall or anything, and I don't want to overfeed neither. PPM I'm been careful with. 980 5.9 PH. 1020 ADVN 6.3ph 950 5.7ph jungle juice and terra power. I've also upped the EC by 100% for both DWC. Same Day: Took PH and both DWC was 7&7.2. Decided to empty both and fix them and bring their EC&PH back under control. 5.5&5.8 and 550&580 ppm. Yes, I know the numbers are the same, just the way it worked out.. 13/5/22 Grrr, poxy annoying. Too much work doing DWC. Well the way I started them was. I set them up to fail. In a bowl where the PH was changing from 5.5 to 7+ in 12hrs. Because it was only in a couple 100mls. I put them in their buckets and lowered the EC and fixed the PH. 470ppm 5.7ph 16/5/22 Having many issues with DWC. Not forgiving at all. I really started them out wrong. And with constant PH/EC swings they had in their tiny bowls. Well, I'm surprised they made it to the bucket. I was thinking of scraping these are starting over again. But I'm going to run them as they are. See what I can do. Having real issues with temp for the water. 23c. Adding frozen glass bottles of water seems to help but it's becoming a pain having to add new 1s every 4-6hrs to keep the temp between 19.5-21c. So, I've done away with 1 of the mixes and switched it to jungle juice trio with no enzymes. Will add h202 as soon as it arrives. 16/5/22 At to picking back up slightly. Hopefully shes on the road to recovery. Thanks for reading gottagrowsometime
