Oh man, what a week. I came back after a weekend away to a very angry plant. Wilted leaves, twisted growth. Root rot. So, I implemented a multi-pronged approach to eradicate it. 1. Eliminated light leaks in the reservoir by adding more clay pebbles, fashioning a disc to cover most of the net pot, and even taping around the small hole where the air line comes in. 2. Cleaned the hell out of the bucket with bleach wipes, rinsed thoroughly, and also cleaned any bits of the air line that were in the water, in addition to scrubbing the air stone free of any debris. 3. Increased oxygen by lowering the water level even more and really cranking up the bubbles with the air pump. 4. Increased the amount of Hydroguard used in my nutrient mix. 5. Cut diseased roots away. I’m actually glad this happened. It’s a good reality check. Plant is in a holding pattern and I’m just waiting on recovery. The root rot was likely set in motion early on my too much agitation of the young roots and then exacerbated by light leaks later on. Water level is key my friends. I caught this issue early and I am hoping this is the turning point with this grow. If not, I used a free seed for a reason :)

For the big yields veg longer with this strain. You will want like 30 top before you flip the light.

@Gardenofweeden, you may be right, though this particular pheno didn’t have those big fat flowers like many other BD phenos I’ve seen. Looking at some of those other ones, 8 tops seemed like plenty. Ordinarily I would veg longer, but I needed the harvest to be done by a certain time in this case.

Good luck with DWC grow 😀 How is the water temperature? I want to try DWC next time too but I was reading that water temperature is the main issue (too high) and the roots will not grow and RIP.

@bcizzle, I change my buckets every 72 hours...............i never top up or adjust ppms or ph and i never exceed .5 EC

@grzesiekkuzniak, I think that is the biggest lesson I have learned with this DWC grow. I switched to a sterile approach and since then I’ve had things dialed in. I change my water every week and use UC Roots, and I swap buckets each week with a fresh, clean bucket. After that if you just track pH and ppm and top off accordingly, it’s a stupid simple way to grow and I’m never doing it another way.

@iLoveGoodWeed,,if u change water frequently you can have temps up to 25 C and nothing will rot and no hydroguard needed..................dwc is about keeping it clean and not let water oxidize too much ...................too cold aint good too btw..........💩

why do you tape the top of the bucket?

bcizzlecommented4 years ago
@grzesiekkuzniak, I also found some adhesive cable clips that I’m going to attach to my bucket lid so I can more effectively train my plant, while also being able to move the lid and plant from one bucket to another.

@grzesiekkuzniak, early on in the grow I fashioned a little cardboard disc to cover the clay pebbles and keep light out of the reservoir and I wrapped it in tin foil and taped it to the bucket. It’s super janky but it’s working. I found some 1/4” thick neoprene sheeting I’ll use next time that has an adhesive backing and I’ll cut to my specs. Should be much less ridiculous looking.
