first diarie for me as well as my first grow ever
ACMPR patient! i went hydro rdwc wish me luck and dont be shy to leave comment.
seed in water ph adjusted to 5.8
water temp 22 degrees rdwc system breaking in no leaks so far 350 gallons inline pump 2 inch pvc pipping 5 gallons square bucket 6 inch net pot 4 inch airstone with 1050 litres of air per hour. day 2 all 5 seed have taproot! i switched them to root plug back in the tray now waiting for them to emerge before i turn on my t5.day 3 im seeing 2 of them reaching out already 12 hour after transfer from towel to rapid root plug will update during the day as situation evolve .day 4 all of them seem to do fine they are about 2 cm high waiting for shell to fall off i moved them under my 350 watts led at 40 inch for today ill be lowering the light tomorow to 36 inch im also using yeast in hot water with sugar under the dome for co2. im also cycling rdwc with connoisseur A+B voodoo juice and b-52 at 300 ppm untill i drop them into system in 2 days or so.day 4 shell fell off just before light shut down.Day 6 i added a reverse osmosis system to my reservoir because of city buffer into water i had too since ph wouldnt go downwas 8.0 good thing i was cycling system a week prior to introducing plants also i had a power outage for 3 days so i had to transfer seedling to friend house since temps droped below 17 degres celcius its getting cold in quebec also started feeding b-52 to seedlings 0.3 ml per quart i can see roots at botom of root plug i might do system flush tomorow and intoduce plants. day7 they are now into the rdwc system they seem to like it im using 200 ppm onto the next week!
after 2 weeks use 1/2 of the nute then you can add to voodoo juice and b-52) and connoisseur A+B during vegging but instead b52 use (sea food extract ) it is organic not b52 and connoisseur A+B is good but i would replace whit tarantula instead so voodoo juice /tarantula/piranha
might be discontinue then i use B1 super max for sea food extract all this in air-rated water
im having some ph swing using 1/2 nute should i use more nute?water changes with rodi system no improvement connoisseur A+b,voodoo,piranha,b52 ph will rise up to 6.7 even with ph down.suspecting potassium deficiency from nutrient lockout plants show a little tip burn
First I wouldn't be using all that at this stage u gonna have major problems and shes not locked out if she would be locked out u wouldn't see a nute deficiency u overwhelming her from wat u pumping in here in hydro your nutrient in take is alot faster I say go down to 1/4 if anything your plant will still uptake in the 6 ph range I've grew one out without ever checking for a Myth Buster type grow and watch the ph up and down additive it's not good for your plant if u use to much are on a regular basis cut back on the nutes and she should shake back 👍👍👍
should i start using first layer of scrog this week im planning on using 2 layers wait till next week?feel free to leave any other comments regarding grow 😀
Hello I would wait another week or so some of those branches are pretty short still . If you know you have the room keep growing them out and add net next week , they look healthy you also need to remember some strains do not like training like that if your tucking branches .. good set up lots of room to work with ...what light you gonna use for flowering the girls ..?
im using bud factor X and big bud from advanced nutrient with bud xl from house and garden everything seems fine what you guys think about it should i cut big bud from the recipe everything seems fine so far feedback on this subject or anything related will be apreciated😃
As long as your ec/ppm is not too high when using them together & if you are using them at the right moment then you can continue to mix them together. Just watch your plants during the next days or weeks to see a kind of excess or deficiency
I start feeding on day 3. At 1/4 dose. They don't need much food the first couple weeks so always go as light as possible on your nutrients. You can always add a little more nutrients but can't repair burned leaves. good luck!
Pretty impressive setup and detailed journal for a first attempt. Good luck with your grow. I wouldn't put any nutes in for the first two weeks, quarter strength for the next two weeks, and half strength for two more weeks before adding the full recommended dose.
I agree with the OP - you need a way to manage your nutrient solution temperatures. I would recommend 66 to 69 degrees F (18.9 to 20.5 degrees Celsius)
And yes 5.7 to 5.9 pH is ideal for Hydroponics but you do have some wiggle room.
Chillers can be expensive, until you are able to acquire one, You can utilize products like "UC ROOTS" or "Watermax" or other products that contain Hypochlorous Acid which increases the ORP value of your Nutrient solution and makes it more Bacterial Static.
Your air pump is a good size at 16 liters per minute for your approximate recirculating volume of about 20 gallons.
You may need to consider adding more Opacity to your grow modules to seal out light infiltration within your root zone, otherwise it looks like you are ahead of the game for a first time Hydroponic grow.
