Itā€™s been a week since The Brunch V2 Lovers Cut, the newest addition to our hydroponic family, made her debut. She is showing strong growth in her root system. We also have updates on her older sister (two-weeks older), who recently joined her pot, defying expectations and showing signs of healing. The transformation of Brunch V2ā€™s older, sickly sister was surprising. Initially struggling and showing signs of distress, sheā€™s begun to bounce back after being introduced to the same nurturing environment. D8: added silica yesterday and will add kelp tonight. D11: our main girl is showing mutations in her leaf development. Sis in rehab is looking healthier. D12: first water change, Ph spiked up to 7.78!! Was in mid 5 when started. New stats after change: PH: 5.5 PPM: 752 D13: Iā€™m not sure I want to stick with her, the growth in her leaves is off

Do you have a pearl of wisdom for me? This is my first hydroponic grow and I could use a whole necklace! DWC, large air stone, top drip, 8ā€ pot, clay pebbles Do you always leave hours on? A timer? And good griefā€¦ why isnā€™t the fish tank heater working in the 5gal bucket šŸ™ˆāœŒļø

Firstly ph is very important so I use silica as my buffer I mix the required amount of silica into the water , then I use ph down to reduce the ph to between 5.7 & 5.9 Then the nutrients go in at the required rate, the ph should remain where you set it before adding the nutes. As for the aquarium heater is it needed? nutrient solutions perform better at colder temps because oxygen is more available. Unless the solution is below 10 degrees celcius I wouldn't use one personally. Next is root care . To keep the roots in top health I reccomend the use of Mycorrhizae as it will help combat root issues. Finally timers are preferable as all plants require a break (darkness) this allows them to recover from any stress they may endure. Hope this helps mate

I canā€™t respond to the question answers, so Iā€™ll respond in the comments. This isnā€™t my first grow, itā€™s my first in hydro and, of course, Iā€™ve been reading up on everything. I didnā€™t just buy everything and throw a seed in it. Regardless, I still think itā€™s mighty valuable to get input from experts āœŒļøā¤ļøšŸŒ±

@skunkledamo, thank you for sharing your experience and tips with DWC! Iā€™ve got the black bucket set up, but Iā€™m not sure if I need to cover the pebblesā€”I feel like light might seep in. Iā€™ll make sure to update my growing diary regularly and stay engaged with the community for more knowledge. DWC sounds like a great way to stay away from the potsā€”Iā€™m hoping I stop getting in my way! Cheers to successful DWC grows! Does the top drip need to reach the current roots or just wet the rocks? I notice the rocks stay wet even if the water isnā€™t directly hitting the roots. How do you control the water temp? It feels frigid to me, but I love scorching hot water.
