👑Special DWC Queen by RQS

I was inspired to try DWC, especially after hearing about "Lucas Formula/Method". I picked my Special Queen by RQS freebie to be my test subject in this experiment. Thank you my Royal Queen 💚 Germinated in 4cm grodan rockwool cube, with seedling sticking out above and poking her first root below in 4 days. Transferred her to the first small custom built bubbler dwc reservoir with only 3L. Plan to transfer her to 20L as soon as she gain some root mass and if she survives in general. Going mostly diy as usual. T20-22 RH60-80% Day 1 I noticed foaming and a bad smell, changed the 3L solution, this time without Root Booster to see if it helps. Day 2 Whoever said hydro is easy is out of his mind :) It's so hard to keep water below 22C... My PH went back from 5.8 to 7+ in 12h, so it seems my PH down by biobizz doesn't work in hydro because it's weak citric acid... And problems just keep rising and it's only day 2. Day 3 Foam again, maybe it's normal 👹 I just read that Micro should be mixed in first, then Grow, then Bloom... Could rockwool be rotting? Smells bad... Cleaned again, dropped the water level lower to 2.5L so that less moisture could reach the net pot. The plant looks ok so far... Day 5 She is still alive and growing which is a miracle! Changed reservoir again... it was foamy, smelling funky and ph almost 8!!! I still blame citric acid in biobizz ph down... I'm now a self-proclaimed expert in ph down acids😎... so many new words, carbohydrates, phospates, nitrates, sulfates, citrates😵 I can only see one root but it seems to get longer day by day, not minding the rot so far. Day 6 I moved her to a smaller net pot and a bigger glass reservoir, removed most of the grodan cube around the stalk. I think it was too wet and rotting. Made the one long root touch the water ~4cm below the net and she responded with development and roots growing sideways. Ph still doesn't hold at 5.5 and keeps rising to 7 but at least no foam and fishy smell. Day 7 So far I'm not a fan of DWC but I will keep going and learning while I can :) Special Queen by RQS Indica: 50% Sativa: 50% THC: 18% CBD: Low Indoor Yield: 500 – 550 gr/m2 Flowering: 8-9 weeks Height: 80-140 cm Effects: Long Lasting , Physically Relaxing, Powerful Taste: Sweet, Spicy, Lemon, Fruits Flavor: Earthy, Fruity, Skunk
