Week has gone well for me really. So far I am pleased with the switch in nutrients. The plant has started to flower at the end of the week so am going to let it stretch a little bit before doing any more LST.
Day 23. Test Ph 6.0 Ec 1.3
added Ph down to Ph5.8
Day 24. Changed Res to 12L Ph 5.8 Ec 1.6
Now on this weeks feed schedule above.
old res 10L Ph 6.1 Ec 1.3
Day 25. test Ph 6.1 Ec 1.7
Ph down to Ph 5.7
Day 26. test Ph 5.9 Ec 1.7
Day 27. Test Ph 6.1 Ec 1.8
Added 1L water Ph 5.8 Ec 0.1
Test Ph 6.1 Ec 1.6
Ph down to Ph 5.8
Day 28. Test Ph 6.1 Ec 1.7
Added 1L water Ph 5.6 Ec 0.1
Test Ph 6.1 Ec 1.6
Ph down to Ph 5.7
So overall a decent weak, the res is 4 days old so I may leave it for a few more days.

@OhcanaDAbiz, No a co2 bag wouldnt help because the heat issue with dwc is water temp. keeping the water oxygenated enough that the roots dont drown. Warm water cant absorb much oxygen. A hempy bucket or dutch buckets like I run is a good alternative to dwc in hot climates. Hempy buckets have to be hand watered one a day though.

@OhcanaDAbiz, if you don't have high temps then dwc is a breeze. If you have trouble keeping your temperatures down then it can be a constant battle.

Do you keep the water pump in the tent or outside the tent? this is very important.

Ah the air pump is out off the tent but on top of the tent. probably hotter there then inside my tent. My problem really is the room it's in has been hitting mad temps. with lights on my tent is usually 3 or 4 deg warmer then the room. With lights off it's usually about the same as the room. The rooms been hitting 40deg today. That was when lights where off. that's during the day as I only run the lights from 6.00pm till 2pm next day then 4hrs off. Going to move the air pump and add another 2 hrs of darkness. Will have a read up on that device you mentioned as I want dial in my grows during the summer.

@hashy, sorry mate, I meant to say an air pump. Do you keep the air pump indoor or outside the tent? It definitely helps to keep the air pump somewhere cool..
Or if you can invest in a peltier cooler, it works amazing (if you’re serious)
Or you can turn the lights on at night and during the day keep it sleeping 😁

It's an oxypot mate. the res is under the pot. I'm going get some hydroguard 2mo. If I had a res I would keep it in the coolest place possible. Just going have do a few more res changes while this mini heat wave is on.
