Deep Water Culture Tutorial for Newbies

Welcome to another week of my introduction to DWC diary This week I was planning on discussing the General caring of the Plant from week to week However due to a fungal attack on the Blue cheese seedling I will need to adress that issue instead. To get readers up to speed , last week I noticed rust like spots on the plants leaves. So doing what I usually do is research the possible cause of this and all thoughts were that it was a nutrient related problem , calcium or even magnesium. So I dosed up on Cal mag and the problem not only persisted it spread 😟 So back to the drawing board and more research. After checking thru a lot of material I came across a disease called Rust fungus and after comparing photos and symptoms I have found my culprit. There are a few treatments mentioned online however I have gone with sulfur spray as I had some on hand. Time will tell if It works and I will obviously update in this diary. It is situations like this that can crop up during a grow that will test your skill and patience. It is a good idea to carry a few remedies for such occasions like sulfur spray and hydrogen peroxide for fungal attacks Neem oil or Diatomaceous earth spray for bug attacks And keep the grow area as clean as possible at all times So hopefully by next week The plant will have recovered and the fungus eradicated I will continue with the planned weekly plant care guide 👊
