Diablo Rojo XL Auto in the VGrow DWC

GmiadlichGanjaGrown Let's go! The seedling has come out beautifully, so far the pot is still in the closed pot, as soon as the first roots are visible outside the Rapid Rooter, I will remove the closed one. The water surface is a good centimeter below the bottom edge of the mesh pot, which fits perfectly. The seedling is doing great, today the humidity dome is coming off and as soon as the roots peek out below, I'll also remove the closed pot around the mesh pot; currently, the plant doesn't have direct contact with the nutrient solution. A little root is already sticking out at the bottom, I think I can take the closed pot off today. Other than that, everything is running smoothly so far, I'm curious to see how the plant reacts when it has "access" to the nutrient solution.

GmiadlichGanjaGrown The pictures were taken with about 24 hours in between, the plant and the roots are really pushing now, it's going well. I had a slightly too high pH level (damn you Apera!!1!!!), it was at 6.5 because my Apera device stopped working reliably. The second one that breaks after just over a year... I just got a Bluelab, I hope it's better. Pictures of the plant will come in the next few days. The DWC system from Vivosun works excellently, the roots are really top-notch. The humidity is very low, I'm adding a humidifier soon, it's only at 32% at times, which isn't too bad for a short while, but it's really low in the long run.

GmiadlichGanjaGrown My pH meter was broken, so the pH was 0.5 too high. I adjusted that, Apera won't be coming into my house anymore. The humidity is very low, since yesterday I've got a small humidifier, let's see if it works.

GmiadlichGanjaGrown My pH meter was broken, but in a gross way, it was showing incorrect values. This led to the pH being completely off and the plant had crispy leaves all around. I fixed that and changed the water, and now it's practically exploding. It's crazy how they always take off when the conditions are right.

GmiadlichGanjaGrown After having some issues with the pH level, everything is going great now. The tips of the leaves are a bit too brown for my liking, but generally, I'm aiming for slightly "polished nails." Other than that, there's not much to say, it's all good.
