GrowingTheZaza My first DWC grow with a DIY system!
The germination started in a glass of water, the seed was in the water for 16 hours, then the Eazy Plug was lightly moistened with water and soaked in a mixture of Canna Rhizotonic so that the plug stays nice and moist and the seed develops a stronger root system right away.
I waited until the taproot peeked out about 2 to 3 cm under the plug. Unfortunately, my problem was that the seedling took a long time to shed the shell because it was very hard. I had to use tweezers to remove the shell from both seedlings; otherwise, the seed shell would probably still be on the seedling by now.
Then I connected the DWC system; I'm starting with a 15-liter bucket since, as I said, I'm still a strong beginner in the hydroponics world. The next grow will also be done with a 30-liter bucket. In any case, 15 liters of water were mixed with 4ml/L of Canna Rhizotonic, the pH is adjusted to 5.5, and the EC value is 2.0. And now it’s just about letting it grow. As soon as the first real leaves come in, I will completely change the water and add the other important nutrients for the growth phase.
