Day 35 and she is a beauty. She has a nice color and I love her structure. I am going to call it flower this week since she is well into preflower. The system is running great. Haven't had any roots try to grow into the pipe yet. Going to start them on a little maxibloom soon.
@Jef79, it is a purple haze auto from original sensible. But I had an issue with it when I germinated them so I think it is stunted. I have one more seed of those but I am saving it for a proper grow.
Yup once u grow hydro solo cup becomes super cup lol. I think if they clarified where the roots must end like bottom cup then its just like a small hempy bucket but u r recirculating the nutrients and aerating it.
You add limits and complexity: air pump, water pump, space for system, clogs, slime, water temp, etc
For me its either organic or megacrop, fluffy soil n thats it. I setup my cheap auto water pump with RO if i go on vacation.
@GYOweed, yeah I have been running dutch buckets for a while and it's pretty reliable if properly set up. I run 5 gallon buckets on my big system. I have ran it for 2 weeks when I go on vacation with no issues. I don't do well with hand watering. I have tried different watering schedules and the growth rate is best with 24 hour irrigation.
I vote push on! They look big and healthy. When ever I have nitrogen problems at this time itโs always my pH. Youโll be flushing in 2 weeks anyways ๐ค๐ผ
