Amazing growth - roots were well into the nutrient solution by now. A Hailea chiller kept the nutrient temperature around 21C. I'm using a 9 pot recirculating DWC system from Urban Deep Water Culture (urbandeepwaterculture.co.uk). The brain pot and reservoir sit outside of the 1.5m x 1.5m tent.
On day eleven all the plants were topped.

Grow Questions
Hybridstarted grow question 6 years ago
I have nine plants grown from seed and one is behind in flowering. They are all in the same tent with the same nutrient. For a couple of weeks into 12/12 she showed no signs. Now she is flowering normally, just way behind the others in development. What gives?

@CRiSPrGrow, Hi man, this nine pot system only just fits in a 1.5m x 1.5m tent. The header pot and reservoir are outside of the tent and I don't think the nine pots would be a good idea in a 1.2m x 1.2m tent, even if if you could hack up the piping to make them fit.
It's a great system though. Maybe look at four pots?

@CrawlSpaceGrower, thanks for the kind words. They are doing amazingly well considering how overcrowded things are in there. Kudos to Dinafem! This is only my second grow in the tent and my first with the DWC system, so still learning.

Quick question mate, when you flip to flower do you change to flower nutes straight away or do you keep feeding some veg nutes to?

DinafemSeedscommented6 years ago
@Hybrid, Totally agree my friend π
I find it best to continue to feed vegative feed until day 14 of bloom then make the transition into bloom feed π
Nice advice mate π

@Hybrid, thanks mate, I need to change the res though as only changed once in 7 weeks, think I will go 70/30 veg/bloom and then top up with bloom nutes, how does that sound? wish I had a top off tank lol

@MrGreenFingers, Hi man, I make the change to bloom nutrient gradually. I have a big (200l) reservoir feeding my dwc pots and just gradually shift it over to 100% bloom nutrient, adding a bit more bloom each time I fill the reservoir.
Makes sense to do it like this because the plant is itself gradually shifting into flower mode, it doesn't happen overnight.

@MrGreenFingers, Hi mate, thanks - they're looking really promising. Almost every grow I have a bit of a panic halfway through flowering thinking things are looking sparse, but the girls always come through for me!
I have four lights in my 1.5m x 1.5m tent:
One HPS set on 250W
One CDM set on 250W
Two Telos 008 LEDs which draw 240W each

I hear you mate, I get the same thinking nothing's happening but I think that's because you see them everyday, then u go back 1 or 2 weeks in the diary and always notice the big difference in growth!
You must have a nice spectrum in there, I was looking into the telos before I bought my light

@MrGreenFingers, Very happy with the Telos - build quality is outstanding and they seem to be doing the business. This is my first grow with them.
What is your lighting set-up?

Are your feeds accurate in this journal, if so you have done amazing using such few nutrients and no calmag?

Hybridcommented6 years ago
@MrGreenFingers, I'm measuring my nutrients with EC readings - I keep adjusting the reservoir. The ml/L bit of the diary is not really relevant - it just shows the different feeds I'm using.

I'm only in a 4x2x8ft tent mate, I had a 900w Viparspectra pulling about 420 from the wall but I bought a 265w invisible sun board using the Samsung Lm301b diodes, a quantum board basically lol, should pay for itself in saved electricity after a couple grows but more importantly it has alot more red so hopefully flowers are better also, even though I was happy with first couple grows I just want to grow the best quality weed I can lol

I am glad your liking it, for me it's an easy method of growing as long as you can keep your res temps down and avoid root rot!
