1st Time Grower, DWC

So I went thru all my nutrient bottles from the whole line of OG Organics and set pictures of all the bottles and what they looked like. And got a totally different response then I did the 1st time. Now I didn't send pictures the 1st time and I did the second time which included the 2 with what I thought was stuff growing in the nutrient bottles. So anyhow this is the response I got from Advanced Nutrients about if it was normal for the nutrients to look like it did. And of I should send them back for a exchange if they were questionable. This was in response to pictures of 2 nutrient bottles with what looked like stuff growing in it. "The product looks good, the tiny stringy bits are due to the lack of preservatives in organic products, however should not cause any problems whatsoever." This was in response to a pictures of the inside of lid and top of seal with hole in middle and stuff leaked out hole slightly "not a problem here,  the bottles have a vent in the cap to allow for expansion/contraction,  it looks like this bottle was upsidedown at some point." This was in response to a picture of the base nutrient bottles having build up on sides at opening "100% fine, just give it a good (emphasis on shaking hard) shake, looks normal." This was in response to another picture of build up on in side of bottle. "100% fine,  as always with the organics, shake hard" This was in response to build up inside bottle "Looks good" This was in response to stuff on seal and inside bottle. "100% fine,  this is a product that definitely needs to be shaken hard" So I guess the brown foam was not from nutrients being bad. Just wanted to add the response from manufacturer. I'll include pictures i sent to them

On colorado cookies I'm getting slight yellowing on the exterior edge of the leafs. What causes that. Would a Humidifier right next to it with mon ph tap water in It cause this? Its the only one that has it.

Good luck mate! 🌱

Good luck and happy growing!

Do you have 2500 ppm in your water? If so you need to change it and take 1/3 of the nutrients. Max 1500, but in your stage is should be around 1000 ppm. Nice grow 👌👌

Enjoy your harvest 👌❤️ by the way TA and GHE are the same, it's a rebranding of names.

Nice buds growmie :) We really appreciate you sharing your grow experience and hope that you enjoyed our Banana Purple Punch Auto. Have a good one

GL 💪 and have fun growing mate! 😎

Hey man, good idea to change nutrients line to mineral. I love dwc!

Happy Growing, Buddy! 🌱🌱🌱

Nice garden brother, enjoy your harvest!

Can't go wrong with a 40+ yr old formula. Currently using the same, and will prob always use it. Everything's in there a plant needs to thrive (macro/micros). You CAN sweeten it with additionals, but ya dont need 12 add ons just to make a full system. Goodluck with your grow

Tried helping ya out with some likes as well, almost doubled them for ya lol. Good luck on your next run!

Happy growing bud! You might be right about your plants being a little stunted but don't worry just keep doing your best to figure them our individually, I had all of my girls stunted like yours through the first couple of weeks due to some mistakes from my side and missing some key things like Hydroguard, but now she's looking much better and has grown much bigger than I had dared hope when she wasn't doing well! I have a diary on one of my girls if you want to check it out for some encouragement! Best of luck, and I'll be keeping an eye on your diary!

Hey man. 2500(5.0EC) is absolutely psycho for DWC. You should be at max 1200 and that's at peak week around week 5 flower. In addition, you're on autoflowers which don't need as much food as photos either, so you need to take that into account. Rule of thumb is hydroponics feed is ~70-75% of the recommended top feeding strength, and sometimes they have a chart specific to hydroponics. I really don't think many nutrients will recommend even close to 2500ppm even for top feeding/drain to waste, that's a wild number. Also you can take a look at all my journals. I use autopots which is similar to DWC, as far as feed strength goes. I usually cap max at 1150(2.3EC) with photoperiods and with autos I usually capped at 900-950ppm and usually got 1.5 to almost 2 pounds dry from 4 autos. Less is more sometimes. If I were you I'd mix the ratios from your nutrients like usual, then dilute it down to 900ppm @ ~6ph. Maybe 800, since they are past peak week. Good luck man..if you got any questions feel free.

Have fun growing ! I got my very first DWC running right now too. Be sure to check 😋

Hopefully you didn't ruin it and can have more then one bud to try lol. Fingers crossed you can save it!

Love your setup! Can you control temperature in buckets?

Thanks for all you've done in the diary. Gives me some help as a first time grower with a similar setup!

Nice looking plants! You went all out on the first one, so bravo. I just stared DWC too and am really liking it so far. Keeping an eye on your diary.
