Ok so hey my bad guys. Like I said shts been crazy for my lately so my notes here may be a little vague. I'll try to get all the important stuff in, but the only real things of note that went on this week were me putting the babies into their forever home buckets and giving them their first real round of lite nutes. Details are as follows... *NUTRIENTS* Fox Farms Grow Big - 11.9ml/4.5gal Fox Farms Big Bloom - 5.5ml/4.5gal Great White Shark - .75tsp/4.5gal Gelat.OG Photo: Ph - 6.2 EC - 747uS/cm PPM - 350 Temp - 76.6 Critical+2.0 Auto: Ph - 6.0 EC - 650uS/cm PPM - 325 Temp - 77.9 D16. Time for their final move! Congrats, ladies! Spent the whole day rinsing and cleaning and prepping and prcticing and blah blah blah, but i came up with a good system, i think. The DWC buckets are from Root Spa and they have these little holes at the base of the bucket with a grommet and a 90 degree elbow going into a blue/clear tube up the side of the bucket. It's meant to run the 1/8" air hose through so you can make air bubbles. I scrapped that idea and bough 4" airstone disks and ran the hose through the clay balls and net pot. now the hose at the side of the buckets are used as water level guages. bingo. I did math for 1/4 the suggested feeding x 4.5 gallons and mixed each bucket of solution, soaked the clayballs in it for a bit the set the RW cube into the net pots with about 1.5-2" of space to the water. repeat. the light is set at 14" still and i'm not sure yet when to change it to what lol. Help? Otherwise, the tent is running a little hot and wet (giggity) still, but it's coming down with practice. D18. Phew. Just about caught up... The girls are looking really happy already! Gelat looks ready to explode. My poor Cripple Crit is stronger than i am lol. I got the temp pretty stable by running a bunch of ducting along the ceiling and upstairs to my livingroom where the ac is super chilly when it runs but is otherwise usually much cooler. I took the booster fan and mounted it to the ceiling halfway between the two lengths of ducting, but there are still a lot of bends and curves so that so-called 240cfm is lookin real meh. ordered another booster and i'm gonna attach it to the intake end upstairs then build a lil box around it. it'll have to do. The AC fan is a masterwork of engineering as you learn to use it. gives you a lot of options. I finally got it to where I can run it between 2 and 3 and exchange a good amount of air while also pulling a little from upstairs. So yea, this is pretty much where i'm at. pics and other deets to follow soon. Thanks for stopping by!

keep it simple until you get some good healthy seed to harvst grows down... then worry about gimicks and expensive products that promise things with virtually no evidence to support it, lol.... having a baseline before you try these things will make it more easily discernable whether they actually helped at all.. or just stroking ppl's egos and elying on them avoiding buyer's remorse and recommending it to others, bwahahah.. be systematic about light levels and how you fertilize to start,... keep track of age of plant and power of light / height of light etc etc.. this stuff will be similar each time given same environment. know what you fed... the products you used.. (looks like rockwool / hydro so even easier to do!!) since oyu are hydro, i'd keep track of you ppms of n/p/k/ca/ mg/ s ... at least calculate it once and doesn't need to be done each time you make tiny adjustments -- you may even play mad scientist with different mixes fo different stages of life. I stick to just affecting conentration while retaining ratios for most part and that works well. sometimes have to dip N in bloom 5-10%, but i am probably pushing N before that point and could easily be a slow buildup too. because i track what i feed, it's super easy to diagnose anything i see and make a quick confident adjustment to a known formula that woks well on 90-percent or more of plants i have geminated. in my exp the plant's genetics are 95% of it. of the other 5%, it is mostly us not stepping on our own dicks (or flaps).

@SuperCoolFungi First of all welcome to a brand new hobby that I think you will find extremely rewarding I know I do!! Now don't be too stressed about achieving massive yields on your first grow and instead try to get a feel for how the plants respond to different things set a routine for feeding checking ph/ec etc that benefits both you and the plants dont be too impatient when they are nearing harvest they will be better if you let them finish properly Also don't be tricked into buying all of those un needed extras for hydroponics like sweeteners and other additives they are'nt needed and are there simply for the manufacturers to make $$ Lastly READ READ and READ some more preferably from experienced growers that have grown more than just a handful of plants

High bro, When you grow inside a DWC system your best guidline is to measure everyday. Measure your pH, measure your EC, measure the temperature. The DWC is a beautiful way to grow and the best way to be fully in control about your grow. I would read a lot on websites like rollitup, the website of seeds breeders usually have some good tips and ofcourse growdiaries. The beauty of this website is that you can search for diaries from the strain that you use. Or filter your diaries on only DWC system diaries to learn from them! Goodluck with your new hobby and Happy Growing! 😋
