Hello and welcome to my second attempt to grow in general and in DWC. First grow faild after a couple of weeks because i didn't have a water chiller to keep my water temps in control. Frozen bottles in the tank didn't help. Temperature fluctuations were too big.
Now have a Hailea HC130A chiller and hoping for the best.
I rinsed the clay pebbles with water to wash out the dirt.
Soaked a rockwooll cube for 2 days in pH 5,5 water and after that in new pH 5,5 water with Advance Nutrients Voodoo Juice.
First i put the seeds in a glass of water with a solution of 1% hydrogen peroxide for about 18 hours.
Then they were placed in a damp paper towel in a zip loc bag. Temps about 24°C.
After 2 days they had tap roots 1-2cm long. Transfered them in the rockwoll cubes, cubes put in clay pebbles and placed in net pots.
Plastic bottle ends misted and placed over the rockwooll cubes.
DLI ~8-9, 20ml of water givem around the cubes on pebbles.
Day 1 - Checked on them after 1 day of being in the tent and they look good. Water in the tank is just touching the bottom of the net pots.
EC 0.7 pH 6,3. Added a bit of pH-
Day 2 - EC 0.8 pH 6,3
Added 1,5ml of pH- to bring it fown to 6,2. EC rising a bit probably because of pH-
Day 3 - EC 0.9 pH 6,1-6,2
Looks like pH stabilized a bit. I would like for it to be 5,8 and stable.
Leaves are growing a bit and not showing any discoloration.
Water temperature is always 19-20°C.
Lights on temperature 23°C
Lights off temperature 21-22°C
DLI ~10
It's fun and exciting to try to grow and i can't wait to see how it turns out.
Im opened to suggestions and tips from other growers and we will se if i can finish this grow successfully 😁.
