Please see previous weeks for tips about DWC, I will post a video on week 1 , as soon as they are in the new oxypots, I have not changed the height of the LED it is still at approx 17,000 Lux Day 15 - Tuesday 30/10/18 -Checked EC and ph and the EC had risen , water level had fallen,so i added 75 ml of water to the reservoir, no nutrients needed. Day 16 - Wednesday - EC down added 2ml of A+B ph ok added 50 ml of water Day 17 - Thursday - Checked EC and ph , nothing needed Day 18 - Friday - Checked EC = ok , checked ph = 5.4 ?????? Thatโ€™s why I have my ph set at 6.3 , it dropped almost 1 ph in a day !!!!!!!!! So I mixed up a solution with 1 ml of ph up in about 20 ml of water and added it slowly , ph is now 6 Day 19 - Saturday - Checked EC ok , ph ok Day 20 - Sunday - ph ok , EC bit low added 2 ml A+B in 10 ml of water Day 21 - Monday - ph ok, EC down added 2ml A+B in 10 ml of water When adding nutrients, its best to never squirt pure into the reservoir as it can cause burning, so i always use a bit of nutrients and fill the remainder of the syringe with water. ( 10ml or 20 ml syringe )

I would say , as it gets harder for you to keep the res full but another good way to tell would be when you check your root system if its filling up a good portion of your bucket I would change the pots then too because it may give the same effect as being root bound . There's no real way for me to give a real answer unless i seen your root mass but based on what I'm seeing in the pictures your plants are big and healthy and likely have a bad ass root system , Never hurts to give them more room to expand and become more kick ass as a result your plants will become more robust and kick ass! I know Iam no master but i hope you have found this information useful on understanding when to change from the starter box . -Happy Growing!

You can always try the classical approach and get a 12$ handheld microscope from amazon to look at the Trichomes! When looking at the Trichomes ideally you want as many Cloudy/amber trichomes as possible while minimizing the clear. Most people shot for the mass majority to be cloudy for a mental high, but some people enjoy the body feel that amber trichomes give. Personally I shot for 75%+ cloudy regardless of clear or amber. Be sure to prepare for the week of flushing when judging the harvest window based on Trichomes! I may not have helped you @BigDaddyK but I hoped I helped someone ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Yeah, I agree with you with why no one makes net pots that are about 1-2 inches deep before making holes in them.

BeefWellingtonscommented6 years ago
@CRiSPrGrow, that seems like what we are looking for but 110 for a few 6 in netpots sounds out of my range. Also, going by the pics there are a bunch of different kinds, not all the same? But yes, that first and second on would work perfect!

@BigDaddyK,Thank you for the advices , I will give it a try soon to experiment DWC. And by the way , It seems that I was all wrong about your 3 leaves structure , it was just the cotyledons as I can see ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ‘
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyKcommented6 years ago
@OutForReal,if you want to improve yields you need a bigger light , and DWC is the optimum , I donโ€™t really think you can truly understand the benefits until you give it a go , there is no waste apart from water , the way you can lock in the nutrients, the flush , the only downside is it seems to smell a bit less than soil , and if it goes wrong you are fucked .. Happy growing ๐Ÿ‘

Looking great in the jungle as always brother ๐Ÿ‘Š Quick question for you, I've noticed you don't list anything in your nutes to keep root rot under control, no enzymes, hydroguard or peroxide based products so do you not think these work or have a beneficial effect? I ask because I've had issues this run as I decided to try out the air injection diffusers (ones you find on eBay made out of pipe and shaped) didn't check them and then did a res change so decided to check them and they were producing about 5 bubbles lol so my roots were sitting in stagnated water for a couple weeks, needless to say I got some root rot, anyway think I caught it just in time and have been using silver bullet roots ever since, was thinking about running silver bullets throughout next run, have you tried running a sterile res and if so what is your opinion on it?
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyKcommented6 years ago
@MrGreenFingers,problem is that smaller holes get clogged easier, just get a super powerful pump.. :)
MrGreenFingers
MrGreenFingerscommented6 years ago
@BigDaddyK, thanks man, much appreciated, yeah in my mission to create smaller bubbles I thought I would try out the diffusers but never again! Air should never be my issue as I have a 40lpm pump for 2 buckets, anyway have changed back to having 2 6inch airstones in each bucked, they produce huge bubbles and a lot of turbulence but no root rot so will stick with these now, think I will give the silver bullets a full grow run out next round once I've got to the end of this nightmare run!
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyKcommented6 years ago
@MrGreenFingers, well i have never had roots issues, but my number 1 concern is always airflow, i use two balls per bucket to make sure there is never any problems, i have run the temperatures very high in the water as well, the absolute key is airflow to the roots, if you have enough bubbles they never get stagnant, the only isssue can be when you change the reservoir, for me thats every week in flower, so the solution is never more than 7 days old, i used to use Cannazym but now i just use the Katana roots, they seem to stay white, much better with the Katana. I use tap water that has been ph d to 6.3 and left out for over 24 hrs to breathe.

Idk what you told her week 8 but she did a hell of a recovery. That just even more of a reminder for me to check my airlines everyday. DWC feels nice but opening the tent for the first time everyday is a breath-holding moment. (or in my case looking at the camera) I still wouldn't trade Hydro tho

You show topping as a technique but it doesn't look like you've done it this grow. I'm a couple of weeks behind you with Lemon AK and I was debating whether or not to top them since this is the first grow for this strain and I generally like to see how autos develop on their own the first time. Hope I can duplicate the fullness of these. Nice looking ladies

BigDaddyK

@bosgrower, i sometimes top my autos if they look like they are going to get too big, i mainly defoliate and pull the branches out a bit, the problem with topping autos is regrowth , and sometimes it just makes them smaller.. ๐Ÿ‘

Oh man, that sucks. I had a similar situation happen on my first grow, basin ran dry and I lost one plant, one stunted, and one pulled through.
BeefWellingtons
BeefWellingtonscommented6 years ago
@BigDaddyK, no, actually yours is way more mature than mine was. She will pull through with support and first aid from you, but there is a chance it will effect your yield. But she is a big plant, you were going to get a phenomenal yield anyhow.
BigDaddyK
BigDaddyKcommented6 years ago
@BeefWellingtons, so in your opinion as a doctor she has a 1/3 chance of pulling thru..... :(
