Very 1st RDWC Grow and 1st Grow Ever.

Everyday is a fight to keep the PH down. Every morning the PH is consistently going up to 7.3-7.5. I calibrated my ph reader and then brought down the water ph level to 5.6 this morning and by night time it is at 6.5ph. I am curious what I will find tomorrow. The seedlings do look happy and no roots at all showing through the net pot just yet. Stay High Folks ✌️🏽

This week went good except the PH level in the 3 DWC without the reservoir is always spiking to 7ph in a 24 hour period. I will be doing a water change with RO water next week and hopefully it will maybe keep ph level more consistent under 7ph in a 24 hour period. What I notice happening too is the the girls that are in the 3 DWC single buckets are a lot smaller then the 4 THC Bombs that are in the RDWC. There is 2 different strains in the single buckets, NYC Diesel and Fruit Punch but I also have 1 THC Bomb in a single bucket and all 3 are smaller then the ones in the RDWC. I am hoping this doesn't have anything to do with the PH level consistantly going up to 7+. I was thinking maybe my light positioning is contributing to it. The 4 RDWC are right under the light and the 3 DWC girls aren't directly under. I wonder if maybe it is the lighting that are causing these 3 DWC to grow slower. One thing too is that those 3 plants have good roots coming from it into the water now. The 4 in RDWC barely have any out yet 🤷‍♂️🏾. Stay High Folks✌️🏽

Today was super challenging. The 3 single bubble buckets are getting this brown slime on the roots so on Sunday I cleaned the buckets did up new nutrients, RO water, PH 5.8 and added Hygrozyme. I removed most of the brown stuff off the roots and now 2 days later somee more brown stuff. I am afraid these 3 aren't gonna make it if this problem isn't rectified or maybe the Hygrozyme is making it brown 🤔 Maybe nothing to worry about? The 3 in the single bubble buckets are THC Bomb 5, Fruit Punch and NYC DEISEL. The NYC is looking really weird on the leaves twisty droopy a bit just not crisp. I dunno we will see in the next few days though of what will happen. I spent hours changing my RDWC system THC bomb 1-4. I had to change my tubing it was clear and just learnt it was a big no no. I had a rough garden day because it was water change day and I had to drain the system, changing all the tubing, cleaning the buckets, filling the buckets, breaking 2 air stones, getting water everywhere just a big fuck up while their was stuff all in the way. Then I go overfeed the RDWC a bit because I read my beaker wrong. FML. It should of had doses like last week but had more by accident and it is so late so I can't redo it pray for me 🙏🏽.

This week actually went pretty good. The RO water made the PH level stabilize a lot more, most days I don't need to adjust it. I did over nute the plant last week and got some burn on some of the leaf's but I cut some off corrected the PPM and now they are happy again. I am seeing THC Bomb 3 is starting to show some of those grassy white hairs since last week now and a little bit on the other barely though. I don't know what they are called by the way. All in all didn't have to add water this week or nutrients. I will maybe do a water change next Tuesday depending if it seems like I should but everything looks clean and good to go. Stay High ✌️🏽

This week could of been better. I don't know why by bubble buckets are growing way more fuller and healthier then the RDWC System I don't get it. I did get nute burn on the RDWC maybe that is why it is like that? This week I discovered my NYC Diesel was curling down all sides on one 2 leafs and I thought it was cause by root rot because had some brown slime on it. I added H202 for 4 hours before my water change and roots went pretty white. The last picture is the problem leaf I am talking about. I think it can be possibly nutrient lockout. I am hoping by doing the water change and fresh PH water and nutes fixes the problem. I know use Hygrozyme and hopefully that will help too. Till next time. Stay High ✌️🏾

This week I thought my plants had a root problem but it was wind burn 🤣. I corrected the problem by not pointing the fans directly onto the plants. I left for 4 days and everything looked good when I came home but for once my PH level went down to 4.5 which I found odd because it was always the opposite. I trimmed all the big leaves that were blocking the light and the ones that had minor mold on them. While I was gone for 4 days I had some friends from another country that are visiting stay at my place. They turned off the AC because it was cold for them but when I got home it was 79° and 60% humidity in my house which didn't help my plants stat cool or dry. Therefore I got some mold on the leaves. It seems to be okay now. Stay High ✌️🏽

This week wasn't too much different just some bigger buds and you can see what plants ended up be runts. Since this is my first grow I am gonna grow all the plants to the end. I ran into some calcium deficiency so I added a little more cal-mag to my new RO water today hopefully it will mitigate the problem. I had to make a concoction of PH10 RO water with small does of H202 to get ride of some mold that formed when my AC stopped running. Seems to be under control now. I think I have 4 more weeks of flowering so this will be interesting now how the plant will bloom every week. Stay High ✌️🏽
