PlantMike So we're gonna give DWC hydro a go since I got a new tent as a gift. As much as I consider myself an advanced grower in living soil with organic nutrients, I am that much of a newbie when it comes to synthetic nutrients and hydroponic setups. Decided on Alaskan Purple from seedsman as the pack has been sitting around for awhile and it always sounded like a fun cultivar to try. Sort of throwing together nutrients as I have available and the light is one I wouldn't normally use but again a friend was trying to be nice and got me a gift so I thought I'd use it, bar style light and seems pretty bright actually. Here we go for hydro!

PlantMike The DWC grow is starting off surprisingly well. I have checked the pH of the reservoir the last few days and other than a little bit of drift it has stayed very consistent. The grodan cube seems to be wicking enough water until the roots emerge into the reservoir water and the growth is picking up. So far so good!

PlantMike A little late for the weekly update as life got in the way but my girl purple Alaskan is doing awesome! Great root formation down into the reservoir now, I upped the EC to 1.4 and changed the reservoir water completely this week. I have been getting some pH drift but I think it's from the bucket I'm using so I have been adjusting to 5.8 as needed. I added the scrog net today as I know she's gonna be growing like crazy now!

PlantMike Friends, this girl is absolutely crushing right now in the 5 gallon DWC bucket. it puts noticeable size on throughout every day and is just blowing me away on the speed of growth. I'm currently counting 16 tops and it has just about scrogged out the entire first net. I made the mistake of inadvertently topping her when trying to bend the main under the net but she never skipped a beat. No signs of pistil hairs yet so I guess it's grow baby grow!
