March 25, Monday:
* To alleviate symptoms on the leaf tips, 5 liters of water (with 10 drops of root riots) were added to the reservoir, reducing the ppm from 240 to 200.
* The reservoir reached 60 liters.
* 5 liters of water and 6 ml of root riots were added, resulting in a total of 65 liters with a ppm of 190-200.
* The pH was lowered from 6.2 to 5.8 due to the CO2 content in the water, which might rise to around 6.0 by morning. It was 5.9 in the morning but dropped to 5.7.
March 26, Tuesday:
* There was foam in the reservoir, most likely originating from the pro roots.
March 27, Wednesday:
* r-DWC: Raised to 250 ppm, EC: 0.5. If growth is observed, nutrient values will be increased.
* Added 30 drops of pro roots, 30 ml of voodoo juice, 3 ml of cal-mag, 7.5 ml of micro, 7.5 ml of grow, and 6 ml of bloom.
* After soil flushing, the leaves revived.
* r-DWC:
* 250 ppm, 6.0 pH.
* Temperature: 30°C, humidity around 60%.
* Buckets are sweating; besides a possible increase in ppm, there are no positive or negative issues.
March 28, Thursday:
* r-DWC:
* Emptied, refilled, and 44 liters of water added.
* 100 ml voodoo juice, 40 ml cal-mag, 48 ml micro, 72 ml grow, and 24 ml bloom were added.
* ppm: 720, pH: 5.8.
* 10.5 liters of plain water added (total 54.5 liters).
* ppm: 610-620, pH: 5.9.
* Made a change in ppm, should have been done as 0.2 EC. Was a bit impatient, but I don't have much time to lose.
March 29, Friday:
* r-DWC:
* ppm: 610-620 (yesterday it was mostly 620, now fluctuating between 610-620).
* pH: 6.0-6.1.
* Water level:
* Top feeding done for r-DWC. Water level is decreasing slightly.
* ppm increased to 630.
March 30, Saturday:
* Need to further reduce ppm; plants are not consuming or drinking.
* r-DWC:
* -15 liters + 9 liters (pH-adjusted water).
* ppm: 430, likely to rise.
* +7 liters, ppm: 390.
* -12 liters + 10 liters (pH-adjusted).
* ppm: 340, total water: 70.5 liters.
* Lights will be at 10% intensity and 50 cm away for a few days.
* r-DWC:
* ppm: 350, pH: 6.1 + 1 ml pH- = 5.4 (due to dilution), previously, 1 ml would lower it to 5.9. Buffer has decreased, so experiencing significant drops.
* pH: 5.4 + 0.5 ml pH+ = 5.9 (after hours).
* Top feeding done, ppm dropped to 330. If it drops further tomorrow morning, I'll check the water and then increase the ppm.
NEWLY EMERGING LEAVES LOOK GREAT!
March 31, Sunday (3rd week):
* r-DWC:
* -6 liters + 10 liters (RO water).
* ppm: 290-300 (fluctuating), pH: 6.2.
* Added 12 ml voodoo juice (ppm stable).
* Added 0.5 ml pH- = 5.9.
All conditions are great; expecting a surge in plant growth. Tomorrow evening, lights will be set to 25%.
Evening Report:
* r-DWC:
* ppm: 290-310.
* pH: 6.0.
* Water level was measured again.
* Roots were floating in the reservoir, so I installed a filter.
