Hi guys,
...10 days later :P
So it's been a bit more than a week but I already see how the plants in hydro respond to organic nutrients + I can see under the hood aka see their roots and it's not the nicest look because the residue is sticking to the roots like glue and make it a lot more difficult to absorb Vital Minerals (in case you didn't know that's what's called vitamins ;) )
All plants in Coco+Perlite (which is also considered hydro but we'll call it soil for now) are already bigger which should normally be the exact opposite case if there was no issue with the residue in the hydro reservoir.
Karel's Herer Haze had the smallest roots thus far and she took the most hit because of it. I have no idea if I can bring them back on track, it's definitely going to be a challenge but I decided to start another backup run of the hydro beans just in case. If I can bring them to full happiness, I'll dump the backups (probably).
I decided to take out each plant from the hydro setup and try to carefully wash off as much of the gluey residue of the roots with a stream of bubbly water. Hopefully I won't shock them as much, they survive and we live another happy day :P If it's too much for them, then well, I tried my best but I'm on the optimistic side so everything is going to be great :D
Stay tuned because that's going to be a rescue mission of a lifetime :D
BTW. I'll be posting an all around overview over the next couple of weeks because it's still to early to focus on each and every strain.
XOXO

@GreenBuzzNutrients, hi Mia, thanks for the heads up. I've tried to use the fertilizers in my hydro setup on this grow for a week or two but even if I added additional pumps to make the water circulate in the res, the result was that the small roots were full of the organic residue which made it hard for the roots to absorb nutrients from the solution. I've ran this test side by side for a week or two and I had to change the nutrients in the reservoir to synthetic ones when I saw that the the small plants in coco+perlite exploded with all the great products of yours. I'm currently in the fourth week or so and have a lot of updates to make :) But all in all you were right, organic nutrients don't work quite well in hydro but from what I can see, the nutrients work excellent in coco and soil and the plants really dig the fertilizers and additional products :) 🤟🏻😎🤟🏻
Green, yellow, purple, and orange -- You've got the full rainbow! Beautiful looking plant and a wonderful contrast on your photos/editing. Love it! Enjoy 😁
