Day 7 i I transplanted the seedlings in jiffy’s to the DWC basket water level was “just” touching the bottom of the basket which meant there was 1mm- 2mm air gap between the water level and the jiffy’s. The high pressured air in the water to spit when air was released at the top which kept the bottom of the jiffy moist which had minimal roots showing to the exterior of it.
Day 7-13 I originally had 7.5 litres of water that was to the bottom of the basket. I replaced the water on the 13th which meant the water was changed after 6 days at such an early stage I will regularly change the water in the buckets. You can change every 7-14days but I am taking no chances.
I refilled and added nutrients on Day 13 which was yesterday. And the plants are doing really well and are a nice VEG green colour. Hard to tell on the pictures with the light colour but you can see their progress.
When I replaced the water this week I put 6.5L of water in each bucket With nutrients PH’d as close to 5.8 as possible. Some varied from 5.72 - 5.9. I have noted these on each bucket so that I can check if one does better than the others or shows deformities or stress I can amend it to match the others but hopefully not in such a close proximity of 5.8ph with an EC of 700+-
The roots are now showing in every pot with the longest being some 6inches.
The new Wakyme grow light is top notch so far with VEG button on only. Anyone contemplating buying one it cost me £99.00 from amazon and so far is performing just how I would like.
Humidity has been taken care of with a cold air intake fan which is pulled from another area of the building of a cooler environment.
Temperatures are spot on where I want them but I do allow a 2degree +- allowance but it does change back to its original temperature quickly enough.
5 more speed bud germinated and 2peyote critical feminised photoperiod germinated.
Crystal candy XL auto ordered x10
Gorilla glue, Pineapple Express and Cali Kush waiting in the wings. I have these already
If I can be anymore help to anyone let me know. Your diaries are helping me and hopefully I can provide the same to you
Sucks to have such a bad germination rate. I bought the 10 random autos from budda seeds. Only 2 germinated of them, very disappointed to say the least. Same as you too, all using same method! Good luck going forward bro
