We are 15 days after sowing. Yesterday I was going to clean the red basket with clay because that white jelly is still visible but to my surprise I saw that a small root came out of the basket and ended up in the DWC. I am happy that little root has come out despite all my mistakes but I really don't know how to permanently remove that white jelly. Will I have to keep it forever? Certainly some gelatine ends up inside the DWC creating some problems of EC and PH. Among other things, the PH continues to rise constantly and a lot, perhaps also because until yesterday I was watering the clay and rockwool from above (which have high PH and this affects the PH in the DWC?). And part of the problem is certainly the high temperature of the solution, 25 Β° - 26 Β° [Day 15] - 15/6/22 - TS1000 = 50cm away and 80% dimmer; - TEMP is fixed around 29Β° and does not go further only thanks to the humidifier that manages to keep the humidity stable around 58%. I just can't do more, I would like to keep the temperature lower but it's impossible given the heat here. When AND IF I ever raise the TS1000 to 100%, inside the grow box will become an oven; - I'm thinking of sticking with this configuration: 50cm away, 80% dimmer (120 watts) until flowering begins. If possible, at that moment I will switch to 100% power but I will have to lower the hours of light to keep the temperatures low for as long as possible, so 18/6. What a mess! - Despite everything the plant continues to grow and I am happy :) - Tomorrow I change the solution to the DWC! - At the moment I suspended H2O2 because perhaps it kills the ROOTBASTIC which contains both minerals and organic material. I wonder, I also have ATAZYME that I should start using from tomorrow and it is composed of Enzymes and organic stuff, also in this case the H202 is problematic? Help! (Same problem with BLOOMBASTIC during FLOWER stage); [Day 16] - 16/6/22 - TS1000 = 50cm away and 80% dimmer; T. 28Β° C - R.H. 65% - Last day with the rootbastic solution. Today I wash the DWC buchet, then prepare the new solution with RO Water, plus A + B + H2O2 and this evening I add it to the DWC bucket. EC 0.6 PH 6.0 - Unfortunately I have absurd oscillations of the PH. At 4 pm it was PH 4 and to help raise it I replaced 0.5lt of solution with 0.5lt of water at PH 7.5. Despite this, after half an hour the PH had dropped further to 3. I really don't understand what's going on, I probably carry some mistakes from the past with me. The white slop continues to come out slowly and probably ends up in the DWC, in fact the EC level rises a lot. [Day 17] - 17/6/22 - Lamp, temperature and humidity as usual. - Day after day I am learning something. I started this run just to learn from my countless mistakes. Slowly I am managing the temperature and I am starting to have less strong PH swings, but they are still there. Many things I understood thanks to some users of this site, I'm really happy to have started a diary here. Thanks guys, really! [Day 18] - 18/6/22 - Lamp always 50cm from the plant, 80% dimmer; - Temperatures: 28 Β° / 29 Β° C during the day and about 25 Β° C when it is dark; - RH: On average on 60% which is not bad but I have several peaks on 70/80% due to the humidifier turning on when the temperature exceeds 29 Β° C. Unfortunately, when it is dark it does not go below 65/70%, between a few at most this situation will have to be fixed in some way. Today I should install the two total 10-liter Co2 tanks with sugar, yeast and fresh fruit. This will allow me to better manage the high temperatures, thus trying to lower the humidity a few points. - In the DWC there are currently about 6 liters of solution prepared yesterday with EC 0.8 and PH 6. Plant is growing but the EC is not decreasing, I guess it will take a few more days to notice big changes in the EC. The solution has quite high temperatures, around 26 Β°, maybe 27 Β° at times. As soon as possible I will start putting some refrigerated plastic popsicles in the DWC once a day. I don't know if it will be enough, but better than nothing. To buffer this situation, I have turned up the force of the air pump in order to oxygenate the DWC bucket more. - Last thing, once a day I have to check the red pot in which there is the clay as from the many roots that sprout out there are some covered with that white slop and that ends straight into the DWC. In the next 10 days I will try to do something like this to improve the situation: I will pour 0.5 LT water (EC 0 - PH 6) over the clay, being careful not to wet the central part and letting the liquid flow in another bucket. I hope that after 2-3 times the situation can continue to improve. [Day 19] - 19/6/22 - Lamp 45cm from the plant, 80% dimmer; - Temperatures: 28 Β° / 29 Β° C during the day and about 25 Β° C when it is dark; RH: 45%/55% - Plant is tall 7 cm from the clay - Added n. 3 five liters tanks with water, mashed banana, yeast, sugar and baking soda for CO2 booster [Day 20] - 20/6/22 - Lamp 45cm from the plant, 80% dimmer; - Temperatures: 28 Β° / 29 Β° C during the day and about 25 Β° C when it is dark; RH: 50%/60% - Plant is tall 8 cm from the clay / Added 1ml/lt of H2O2 to prevent any shit in the pool [Day 21] - 21/6/22 - Lamp 45cm from the plant, 80% dimmer; - Temperatures: 28 Β° / 29 Β° C during the day and about 25 Β° C when it is dark; RH: 50%/60% - Plant is tall 10 cm from the clay - Added 1 lt of solution: A+B+Hydro Booster+H2O2 - Third internode is forming. The plant grows slowly but grows every day. I also added 1ml of Hydro Booster to 6 liters of solution to give her a nitrogen boost. EC max 0.8. - I am no longer having problems with PH oscillations, it remains stuck between 6 and 6.5 (pure yellow chemical test) and I don't want to use too much PH down now that the situation is under control, I hope it grows well in this range of PH. I just use 2-3 drops of PH DOWN every 2 days and I'm doing well. (this stability is certainly due to the use of demineralized water, it is saving the life of my plant and also mine, but I will need CAL-MAG very soon). - Today is the last day of the second vegetative week. From tomorrow I start adding Mineral Magic.

It could be 2 reasons: 1. chelated minerals, sometimes minerals dont mix well together and cause this to gel substance to happen, you will need to make sure there are no foul smells. I would change the DWC nutrients with less minerals maybe .25 ml/L. 2. rockwool rot, "Rotwool" from overwatering the rockwool, you will smell a noticeable foul smell. If you DO smell a stinky or rotten smell, its time to start over with new seed. Most likely chelated, or gelled minerals if there is no stink smell.

Could be a few things: a. dried water droplets from humidity too high or making the mistake of spraying plants this young b. PH problems with the Rockwool cube. Typically rockwool cubes are PH 9 or 10 and it takes a soaking them in PH 5.5 water for at least 3 days to bring it down within a range that your plants can uptake minerals with. It has taken me 6 days before to achieve this. If your PH of the cube is too high, your plant will struggle with its uptake of nitrogen and other core growing minerals... just because your DWC water tells you the PH is within range, it doesn't mean the PH around the new stem is fine...If you soaked your Rockwool cubes for 3+ days you should be fine, but if not you will have a bad growing experience without any yield. c. overwatering, top watering 1L at a time, and improperly spraying is very excessive, and will cause your water levels to creep up within the basket causing rot and other unpleasantries. d. improperly using Mineral Magic with young plants will burn them causing brown spots... mineral magic should be used with the 3rd node of leaves is present. I am sure the issues here are a combination of the scenarios above. Roots should be in the pool day ~6 - 10.

You won't need to close it. If the smell were to come out of the gap it would come through the rest. The whole point of doing what you are doing, is you want a negative pressure seal. With that vent open. Air comes into it. (Can't come out of it, smell travels with air flow) just think about it for a sec. I use a sealed tent with no vents open and just leave the hole at bottom where you put the plug wire through keep that say on the bottom left, and extraction on top right will make for decent air flow. But you want that neg pressure seal. Look it up. There's a big difference in my bud already. And as for RH/TEMP whatever you keep your grow room at your tent will only be a few % difference in your grow room compared to your tent. Trust me a neg pressure seal you want. I won't go into it. There's just too much. Read up about it. As for what you are doing now you can seal up your tent or leave the vent half open no smell will move unless air is blowing out the seems and with a neg pressure it goes through the exhaust. You'll learn about co2 and the importance of bringing in O2 that will draw in co2. Having that vent sealed will drop your co2, unless you add extra co2 Good luck.

A.Likely this is the PH adjustments that had to be made. This only takes a few hours to show up. It could be the beginning of nutrient burn.. 1.5ml/L is very strong for Mineral Magic... typically we use 0.2g/L or 0.4g/L. The measurement on the jar of Mineral Magic instructions says 4g for every 10 liters.. 1.5g/L would be close to 15g for every 10 liters.. 3x too hot for the setup if the numbers are all listed correct. B. if you are using EC 0 water, you will need cal-mag, literally right now. The water I use for my DWC is 200ppm from the stream with high levels of all naturally occurring minerals like Iron, Calcium, Manganese, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Silicate. I still use Cal-Mag sometimes depending on the breeder. FastBuds seems to be cal mag thirsty. I run all of my DWC grows 28-30 degrees during the day, 20 degrees at night. The temperature split of 8-10 degrees makes them grow very fast from what I have experienced. I am a strong believer in the 10 degree difference in night versus day temperatures like in nature. For mars hydro I use 2x TS1000s, intensity 100% about 100-110cm away (permanently mounted in top of mars hydro tent) it allows for the temperature at the plant to be around 28 all the time. I never touch the light's intensity knob until the last few weeks of growth to simulate the summer to autumn season which works very well! Plant is looking good, we have all had this happen, no worries! She will be strong! She has good master growing her!

The plants in charts are not for cannabis. Your vegging npk ratio is 3-1-2. Flowering npk ratio is 3-1-2. As you shift stages you are going from one ratio to another. So you are about to be where she can benefit from all 3 then the shift will happen more as Flowering sets in more. I like to introduce bloom nutes about a week before them build on it. Good luck happy growing🌱

Hi guys, from today some of new leaves are growing like this. Is everything regular or is it a sign of something wrong? Given my inexperience I don't understand the symptoms from the leaves. Info: DWC - 42 days from germination - PH 6.0-6.4 - EC 1.5 - Temp: 29 - RH 60%

I would say she is hungry or your NPK ratio is incorrect. Test your EC after she has drank some of your bucket. If the EC is lower then increase the feed, If it is the same then your NPK ratio is incorrect. I don't think its calcium as your adding a lot to your feed. I would say more P or K . If it is higher then your in lockout and need to reduce your feed. Also note your humidity is fairly high. You want to reduce it during flower to avoid bud rot. Shoot for around 40-50.

The brown rust spots beginning are pretty common. It is the very early start of a nutrient lockout phase. The EC rose because your plant is drinking more water than it is eating the nutrients. Luckily you will be able to remedy this very fast with DWC. I would replace the entire nutrient pool and replace with fresh 5.8-6.0 water with half the nutrients that you are using. After a few days you can gradually increase the nutrient blend. The buds look awesome! Good luck! 😍

She is Ripening so well man, congrats!! With Autos in a sterile DWC is always 15/16 weeks due to the lack of stress and extra oxygen molecule she gets from the H202. Great Ripening blend, she has consistently loved the 1.7 EC in the sterile DWC pool throughout flowering!! The consistency that you have kept monitor over the EC and PH is impressive, be so proud! 😍 (replaced my previous comment due to the numerous trolls that are cropping up, lol, on here)

She is Ripening so well man, congrats!! With Autos in a sterile DWC is always 15/16 weeks due to the lack of stress and extra oxygen molecule she gets from the H202. Great Ripening blend, she has consistently loved the 1.7 EC in the sterile DWC pool throughout flowering!! The consistency that you have kept monitor over the EC and PH is impressive, be so proud! 😍 Those colas are looking very nice! It is the time to take the TS1000 dimmer to 75% for the first 5 days of Ripening blend, and to 50% the last 5 days! During the last 5 days of the GHE Ripen blend, take the lights to 12/12 schedule, during the night cycle the Phosphorus and Potassium will really uptake nicely causing the resin glands to engorge themselves with more sugars, terpenes and psychoactive compounds. All of the pistils will all become brown in the last 5 days. You will notice an excessive amount of frosting happening to every bud on the plant. We are simulating the entrance of the Autumn season, allowing the DWC plant to naturally close its last chapter. Since you have EC 0 water to flush and amazing air pumps in your 10L res, we only need to run that EC 0 flush for 24 hours, with lights at 12/12, and them remove the flush water, this preserves all flavor. For 2 more days she will grow in the complete darkness and then you will harvest. Pistil color tells you the maturity of the plant, looking at surface trichomes do not tell you what all of the inside intra plant trichomes look like. If the pistils aren't all brown the inside trichomes are all clear in the inside of the plant and are not ready. This is how commercial growers of 25+ years do it Forecast for properly Ripening the Hydroponic Hulk: Day 85-90 - Ripen blend + H202 = EC 1.7, PH 6, with TS1000 Dimmer 75% and lights 18/6 (the white pistils will all turn pink, orange and brown) Day 90-95 - Ripen blend + H202 = EC 1.7, PH 6, with TS1000 Dimmer 50% and lights 12/12 (there should be no white pistils on day 10 of Ripen blend) Day 96 - Remove the all the red Ripening water from the DWC tank and Install EC 0 flush water only, with TS1000 Dimmer 50% and lights 12/12 Day 97 - Remove flush water, lights OFF, total darkness Day 98 - no water in tank, lights off, total darkness Day 99 - Harvest your monster Hulkberry Bruce Banner plant in the morning, and remove only the large fan leaves, hang the whole plant upside down, with the scrog net in place for spacing.. then start the drying process. 😍 Check my Gelato Auto by Fastbuds diary to see how to hang dry upside down with Scrog net still in place, works very well! 6-7 days of 50RH in the dark, and they will be ready to cure. 😍
