Looking great ...lovely colour. Have stretched well in a week and filled out the table. I've removed some massive shade leaves!...
These will look even more amazing next week considering what they've already in a week...
I really must stop dropping my phone in the tank of water when taking pics...twice now haha ;-/.....occupational hazad lol
@@hydrohippy, really cool, thanks for the information. Iβll check this video out, nft will likely be the route I take. Iβm looking to use less water and have a more efficient grow. Again, I really appreciate your time, very helpful.
@Saewhiskers, I learnt with nft about 20 years ago. The system I use is made by nutriculture.
I've added a short video of how this nft system works.
You have no chance of leaks unlike dwc. Dwc seems hard work poncin around with pebbles and having to lift the plant out the bucket when changing the water and with the roots out of water and exposed as they are is not good.
With nft when i change the water I just wedge up one end of the tank a few inches then pump it out.
U got pros and cons with both systems.
With dwc you can move your plants about but with nft they're static. So if don't train like I didn't with sativas they hit the roof
@CRiSPrGrow, π€£ππ€£....wow thank youππ...
You better invest in some lube we don't want no friction burns...you take as much time as you need ππ
@Silverback_Guerilla, they are called "plant bends" I got them off EBay....They're ok to use when the branches are soft but as they harden off its a bitch to get them.back off without snaping the branch!!
Looks like that setup is working pretty good for you. I assume your reservoir is below the flood table? Curious what kind of pump schedule do you run for feedings? Pretty obvious results I see there! π
@@hydrohippy, I was running my pump 24 hrs but cut back because I think it causes too much salt build up. I am on 30 minutes every 4 hours now and it seems to work well. Love the access that you have to monitor your roots. Very nice!
@Wicked_Stix, hi, yes the reservoir sits below. Pump schedule is on for 15 mins every 3-4 hours when the lights are on
When the lights are off the pump is off for 12 hours.
In the summer I might run it once or twice through their night period just to keep the roots damp if it's roasting hot outside πππ
nice healthy plants u got, could u give me some answers on ppm ?
autoflower in dwc
week 1: 250ppm
week 2: 350 ppm
week 3 and 4: 580 ppm
am i givin too much ? because i see u got low on ppm. i use plagron A and B with some calmag
@Reaper, I have never used Ro water....so I suppose you would add that...if you're in the UK then try using normal tap water it has all sorts of shit in it my plants love lol and only use grow feed at the start...can't comment on tap water anywhere else in the world
@Reaper, I have never used plagron feed so I don't know how strong that stuff is...what ever the dose recommends on the bottles cut that in in half and if your plants are young use even less.
Why are you using calmag? Were your plants showing signs of lacking in anything before you used it?
I understand peoples thinking in that a little extra of this and that will help but if the plants are healthy anyway don't use it. You only have to flush it all out at the end
I only use a 2 part veg and 2pt flower food and pk on the 5th week ..my plants never show a sign of lacking in anything so I don't use 10 bottles of other nutrients like I see others here using then wondering why their plants look over fed and stressed.
I can only suggest using your grow feed only and ph it...weak feed if they're young with no roots...to strong and you burn the roots with to high concentrate!!
Hope this helps :-)
