Haven't smoked it yet, flushed the solution for a week, this was my first diary so put very little effort. Next time i'll furnish more details about the grow.
It was a fairly easy grow the yield however was very less but the smokes good !!!! hope to grow more this year. Need to invest on a chiller or try soil or coco coir next
you ve given the answer by yourself...... I would recommend you to look into other dwc growers diaries. for me the amount of fertiliser you use looks like for a big plant ....i will let you a helpful link for a nice site, where you can read and look.https://www.growweedeasy.com/deep-water-culture-faqs........
Are you testing the ph in the bucket? So if that is off, then just adjust it to 5.8 or whatever. Your ph in the bucket is going to change, all by itself, over time, so you have to keep checking it, and adjusting it up/down.
Leave everything as you have it. See the dark spot in the roots? That’s root rot. Your new roots look great so keep doing what you have done and she will be good in about 2 weeks. Well unless you let the roots get above 70F
@Wolfheim, 2 weeks is ok. The only reason I asked about cleaning the bucket is because I pump so I don’t clean my bucket’s until the end of the grow. I use a RO water flush every 3-4 weeks to dilute/remove the nutrients that have accumulated in the tank. Before I started using the flush I had major problems and it took a while to figure out that it was because I wasn’t cleaning my tanks at every water change.
@Wolfheim, yes and slimey mushy. Tan crisp clean roots are not root rot just stained from the organics in Advanced Nutrients.
When you do a water change do you remove the buckets and rinse them?
Which is correct 0.2EC or the nutrient list? If 0.2 is correct that’s the problem. If the nutrient list is right it looks good. I also see that your roots are just now getting to the water line, by now that thing should have a good mass of roots. I think maybe the top feed has been to far from the plant?
@Tazard, that shes doing also i changed to a bigger reservoir and changed the substrate to coco peat and perlite whereas the entire system is in a hydroponic medium
@Wolfheim, bigger air stones won't bring down the temps so much as they will put more oxygen into the water which will make it easier for plant to absorb nutrients and harder for pythium to form/grow.
@BeefWellingtons, the ph went around 8!! had to change the nutrient solution. i'm never gonna use tap water again its the worst !!! the advanced nutrients works best with ro water I guess as its automatically balancing the ph
@Wolfheim, Yes, keep your nutrients in a cool dry place and use room temp or cool water. More importantly, you should try to lower the substrate (water in your basin) down to like 70f if you can. Warm temps can promote root rot. More or bigger air stones will help, but you really need to bring down the substrate temp. Also, I would dial back the nutrients to 1/4th amount during seedling stages, and see if you can reduce humidity too. Check out that link someone posted for grow weed easy, Good luck!
@dzigi24, What would you recommended? im open to suggestions as its my first grow dont want anything to go wrong, i checked the roots they are white and growing fast !
Your ladies look great!
Brown roots are from the organics in Advanced Nutrients products.
I found a great chart for EC value. It looks complicated but it’s easy, I posted it on my Dinamed CBD Plus week 12 photos it’s a great resource take a look.
Check your solution temperature. It should be 58-68. 62F is the best for the combination of dissolved oxygen and growth rate. Water below 71 will prevent pythium growth.
