I'm running this in a DWC hydro and have had problems getting the nutrient right. What ppm / EC have you been using for weeks 2 3 and 4? Hard to find guidance for auto DWC

Kolibri 18.11. The growth phase begins, during this stage the plant only gets pH adjusted water.
19.11. Nice growth, good color, everything seems to be fine so far. Since my plants tend to topple over in hydro, I glued the pot down. It's not a masterful job, but I hope it serves its purpose. ^^
20.11. The first root tip is stretching towards the water, for now it's still in a bowl and tomorrow I will fill the first bucket to place it on.

Kolibri 25.11. We're heading into the second week, and now nutrients are being added to the water; in my case, a bit of fresh compost tea.
30.11. The plant and root bed are developing beautifully, positive bacterial cultures have settled on the roots (microscopically examined and verified).

Kolibri 02.12. We're starting the third week. The plant is growing very compact and is slowly getting hungrier. I've doubled the added compost tea, plus there's a bit of peptone and glucose as food for the microorganisms.
06.12. Lush growth, healthy color. First branches are forming.
08.12. The plant is growing healthy.

Kolibri 11.12. The flowering is getting closer, so it's time for stronger nutrition. Nettle tea for an extra boost of nitrogen and fern tea for a phosphorus boost. This compost tea is made from worm castings, which were primarily fed with banana peels to ensure potassium supply.
14.12. I braided the plant a bit so that the side shoots get more light, without wire or any other tools.

Kolibri 17.12. As you can easily see, the plant is currently showing signs of nitrogen excess (clawing leaves), so I have significantly reduced the fertilizer application and am giving a bit of peptone.

Kolibri 23.12. The flowering begins, so I'm skipping the nitrogen-rich compost tea and increasing potassium and phosphorus. Of course, as always, derived from my kitchen scraps ;) The plant looks good, healthy color, vibrant root bed.
29.12. As expected, a slight stretching is starting due to the flowering. Beautiful bushy plant, I’ll probably have to harvest this specimen in stages.

Kolibri 05.01. In the flowering stage, the compact plant stretches enormously. There are plenty of flower sites, and they are developing very well; it's slowly starting to smell intense as well.

Kolibri 10.01. The plant is growing enormously in both height and width. The flower coverage is lush and they are slowly starting to stink.
