Day 15-21 Growing along really nicely since I raised the temperature to 28ยฐC. Huge thanks to @SwissKush for his advice!! Can't hold the water Temperature below 26ยฐC though, giving ice cubes daily. Added 2 ml/L Hydrogen Peroxide to prevent algae and bacteria. Trying to train only with defoliation, inspired by basementganja's Cheese auto on YouTube. Defoliated her right before darkness on day 19.

@SwissKush, Thanks! I know the phases of flowering, I just phrase it differently. To me flowering starts with the stretch since this is when you leave veg and have a closed time span of growth. I did however switch to Preflowering nutrients (in stages) already because I am working with high light intensity. Thanks for your time :) By the way, do you have a trick to help the Silicate dissolve? The recommended 4g/10L don't fully dissolve and even heating a small amount of water only helps until the solution cools off again... I guess there is still some in the reservoir but it's sad to see it laying on the bottom.

nice grow! she will be a face melter! I grew this exact Blue Dream strain 2 years ago in DWC, follow my diary, and you will get impressive results. The Blue Dream is in the top 3 best auto's ive had.

@GnomesAndStones, the mix you are running, Blue Dream really likes. I purposely ran the Blue Dream with a more basic line of nutrients as advised by a grower on here and it turned out well

GnomesAndStonescommented2 months ago
@SwissKush, Thanks! I already bought the same nutrients line you used, just left out the fulvic acid and root booster. I hope I can get close to your Blue Dream, quite an Inspiration :)

Hello, I'm following your grow. Looks pretty darn good! I see your comment about running into deficiency. What type of ph pen are you using? When was the last time it was calibrated? To me it looks like a ph problem and 9 times out of 10 especially in DWC that is the case. I'd recalibrate your pen to start. I've found that when growing in DWC that most plants in flower like anywhere from 600-1000ppm. Also remember that when you run into any issue, it's always wise to flush 24hrs with ph water then res change with nutrients. Good luck and happy growing!

@@MrT82, thanks a lot! I am using pH stripes to avoid any pH meter inaccuracies, so pH shouldn't be the problem here :/ She is having these problems for about 3 weeks now and I already changed the entire reservoir 1,5 weeks ago... PPM got a bit high at times, but I am now cutting back on nutrients and hope it helps. I am pretty sure it is some kind of nutrient burn, because it appears mostly on higher leaves. Thanks again for the advice and please don't hold back if you have another idea :)

Hello again, While PH strips are fine for getting a ballpark figure, they can be very tedious on determining an accurate result. When reading these tests lighting and other factors can throw off the results aswell. DWC is is VERY temperamental on PH fluctuations. I also notice that you are using a Scrog net. How do you go about changing your reservoir? If your not able to completely clean the reservoir between water changes this can cause wide ph and tds fluctuations throughout the week. I recommend changing your water and nutrients once a week and make sure the reservoir is completely clean. Imo is not a nutrient problem and tell tale signs of wide ph fluctuations. I am by no means an expert but have been growing in DWC for a long time now. 90% of that growing I've realized that once your able to dial in nutrients, it's all about PH. I would also recommend you get a tds kit. That way you will know what your plant is can handle for nutrient uptake. Just to add, if you are serious about getting into DWC, definitely invest in a blue labs PH pen and TDS . I hope this helps, and I'm sure you will still be pleased with your results!

@MrT82, Hello :) I got test stripes with 0,25 steps, so it is relatively easy to tell pH precisely. I can't really imagine pH being the problem. To switch or top up the reservoir, I lifted the bucket up with a box I shoved under it and hung strings from the ceiling to hold the lid in place while I lower the bucket. I already bought a PPM meter, my reservoir is at roughly 900ppm. Thanks for the advice! I really appreciate your help

Hey! You will want to place your air pumps higher than the DWC water level. I learned this the hard way having to buy a pump every 3 grows. Good Luck, will keep tracking!

@GnomesAndStones, you got it! I want you to grow the most face melting monster in DWC. You already have it down pretty much!
GnomesAndStones
GnomesAndStonescommented2 months ago
@SwissKush, thanks for looking so closely at my setup, but I actually have check valves installed right behind the air stones, so water shouldn't be able to run through to the pump. Please keep giving advice through, you already helped me a ton!

Hey the problem is two fold at the moment, Problem 1, is there is a nitrogen overdose happening, Problem 2 is a Phosphorus deficiency. Empty and clean the DWC and put in these immediately: TriPart Micro - 1.6 mll TriPart Grow - 0.8 mll TriPart Bloom - 2.4 mll CalMag - 1.0 mll Silicate - enough to get the solution up to 800ppm, 0.2-0.4mll. PPM 800 PH 6.0 She typically should be drinking 4L a day at week 6. Also, you may want to pull those lights up to 60 or 75cm to encourage upward stretch.

@SwissKush, thank you so much!!! I did everything as you said, hopefully she recovers quickly :) The only deviation is that I have no way of measuring ppm, so I just went with 0,3 ml/L of Silicate

WOW! Looks incredible! The canopy you have created will be really nice! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ Im sure that root mass is huge, you can see how thick the trunk already is.

@SwissKush, Thanks! I will try to remember to make a root picture for next week.

Wow!! Look at her grow!! She looks great! Glad I can help!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ My DWC temp hangs around 23, and the h202 3% will neutralize any start of bacteria, while allowing the organics to remain alive in the DWC pool. Im very excited for your progress here!

@SwissKush, Yess! She is developing nicely with the higher temperatures. But (little spoiler) unfortunately she started flowering on day 2 of week 4 :( So won't turn out as big I guess... Still giving my best though :)

looking very good over here! this will be a very strong plant especially if you have more than a few roots already in your pool. in this stage I like my tent temps for DWC to be closer to 30 degrees. You will notice in my DWC diary for the blue dream the temps were 30. Raise the temps in there up to closer 28-30 and you will see her explode in growth. If you are worried about your DWC res temps, then you should be running 1-2ml/L 3% hydrogen peroxide in your res like I do. My res gets to about 22-24 when its 30 in the tent because I use thick sidewall buckets made for growing cannabis. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜Ž

@SwissKush, thank you very much for the good advice!! I am away for this weekend but when I am back, I will immediately raise the temperature. Hydrogen Peroxide is now ordered :) I really appreciate your help!
