This is the week where I began to experience some hard lessons in DWC, particularly since I pulled this together DIY. I noticed slow growth on the #4 pheno and then popped the hood on the rez to find some browning of the roots. Since this was my first time doing DWC, I did a lot of reading. I attempted to block light from getting into the rez to see if this would help resolve.
