Hi everybody,
Welcome to the second chapter of our hydro journey. This time we will use the same DWC setup as before but in a smaller tent and with one of the variaties we won in the DOM may contest. I’ve wanted to grow it for a long time ‘cause I like her taste and effect so when they asked which of the 5 varieties I would like as a prize, I immediately said one should be Blue Dream.🌱
About the setup:
Pot dimensions: 33cm x 30cm
Container size: 19 liters
Air pump: Halilea ACO 2210 (78 L/ hour)
Level and drain pipe
Net pot 12 cm
Air stone +1 meter air pipe
Rockwool cube
I really enjoyed hydro last time, but the end result wasn’t what we wanted, except for the yield, which was acceptable. Buds were airy and effects wasn’t that potent as expected.
I am pretty much aware of what didn't go well last time and we will work on improving it. Due to the continuous PH fluctuation in DWC, the nutrient uptake wasn’t adequate during flowering. We will try another nutrient line as well, the mineral line from Green House Feeding.💦
I will surely encounter many obstacles this time as well, but I hope that with your help we can solve them.
So we germinated the seed in a rockwool cube in a DIY propagator dome. Within 4 days she emerged from the cube so we put her in the net pot and into the tent, which was already set as the Gorilla girls vegetated in it. The temp was far too high for germination(27 degrees) but she made it luckily.🌞
Wish everyone a happy and wonderful weekend! See you!💨
Hi there,
Due to the incompleteness of my knowledge in hydro, the poor creature didn’t improve much. Root still hasn't come out of the net pot. The problem could also be that I didn't leave gap between the pool and the net pot and it couldn't breathe enough. I created space and we'll see what happens next week. 💦🌱

See you!
Hi growmies,
I think slowly we have to say good by to our Blue Dream. She has started to grow roots but it doesn’t result in any growth. She just stagnates. Will wait another week and decide what to do.
Peace 🏻
Hi there,
So despite all our efforts, we unfortunately have to say goodbye to our Blue Dream.
The little one has completely stopped developing. I know roughly what went wrong, so next time I will definitely change this.
There are also positive things that I learned from this round, such as keeping the PH stable, which is very important in DWC.
Fortunately, there are friends who have offered to help, so together with their experience we will embark on another round.
Thanks to you all for the support and help.
Now I am focusing to my soil grow and will come back with a new hydro run soon.
See you and have fun growing!🌱
