Lots of defoliation on multiple days, started Purpinator, Copper and Neem oil treatments sprayed on, new CO2 system w/ controller. Raised CO2 PPM to 1200-1600 range fluctuating over 2 min.
@Tweezer, Im contemplating it. I like the immediate plant response you get with nutrients in DWC. I can visually see the roots being oxygenated and any root issues. Less pest, fungus, and bacteria issues. But it is a PAIN to maintain nutrient temps and levels. And as of late, moving the whole plant/lid to do top offs, nutrient changes, PH/PPM samples is tedious, scary, and risky...
I either have to drill a 1" hole and add a plug in the lid to get samples and pump in/out nutrients. Also buy a cheap borescope to see the roots when needed.
Or Im switching to coco.
Im most likely going to have to dry in this same space. My drying tent is only a 3x3 and with the size of these girls I dont think it would be large enough nor easy enough to control enviro conditions. So Ill have a few weeks to decide before the next grow. Also thinking of doubling my grow area and doing 4 plants. The added plants would double my time spent doing nute changes. A lot to think about before mid July when Im done drying.
