The cheese I have in the hydro grow now started off in soil was a few weeks old and being impatient i soaked the soil off the roots and plonked it in the dwc it took really well roots are starting to grow real quick too...your plants were in a bad way props to you for getting them back on track...
my temps are currently between 66 to 75 im using ice bottles to cool the water. i live in the uk and want to get the chemicals you mentioned..i noticed a lot quicker growth on my cheese before i got the temps down do the plants grow more if the water temps are closer to 80?
thx for the heads up im on my first dwc so am trying to get up too speed....will go down the hydro store monday and get these items...
Looks great man. I don't remember it's been a while since I did hydro. I did autos at that time too. I kinda feel you might be able to get bout a pound off that thing tho. Probably not but she's looking great anyway lol.
Your plants are looking real nice mate...not done the strain your doing but they look like they will yield nice for you good job mate nice grow...i harvested 2 mazar's one moby and a non performing auto ultimate a few days ago and got 5 oz dry which is ok as the bud is supremo quality. would have like a few more oz but its ok...only got half oz off the auto ultimate i had to dig her up from an outside grow Ewwstank to save her from the rain but she didn't transfer well...The dwc is a breeze to date im changing the res every 7 days making sure all the nutrients are bang on and cooling with frozen water bottles temps are 68 to 75...heres a question mate the canna aqua nutrients say to not re adjust ph after the first adjustment at the initial set up of the water...do you think this is recommended even though the water ph does rise over the 7 days?
pH will change just from CO2 dissolving into the water. As long as the pH isn't getting too high you should be just fine! Do you have a ph tester or anything (i can't remember if you mentioned it and I'm on my phone)? You can find them on Amazon for pretty cheap, and most have a dual function for conductivity. Changing the res as often as you do, I wouldn't think you'd have much of an issue, but listen to what the plants are telling you
i use ph testing to do all the setting up and maintaining i wont alter the ph down then and ill keep on changing the res every week...the main reason i do it so regularly is that i dont have an ec meter or ppm meter yet and the guy at the hydro store said this is ok if you change the res every week so that's what ive been doing lol
People actually use ec and ppm meters lol?? Seriously i feel as tho they are a waste of money. Advanced nutrients 3 part is self ph adjusting, i never have to add ph up or down lol. And changing the res every week will end up costing a lot of money in nutes, with a good source of beneficial bacteria you could go 2 weeks plus
They are excellent if you start trying your own nute blends, and help verify correct dosages (depending on res size, some of my nutes can drop to less then a mL/gal). No need to hate on them. I've spent the last ten years in labs (six of which were as the regional manager), I have an array of auto pipettes and still use them to double check my work friend
i think cann aqua are self adjusting as well which is why they say to not bother after the first adjustment...im guessing this is the reason....im gonna get an ec ppm meter to keep an eye on stuff...you think i could run 2 weeks between changing? do you do this?
my mum had ovarian cancer which she had removed and recovered...glad to hear your mum is close to remission hope your mum recovers my friend.
Yeah i change my reservior every 2 weeks. i add a little bit of nutes to the res after the first week tho, probably about 1/4 of the regular nutrient dosage
looking good mate....going too start running the nutrients longer....getting an ec/ppm meter tomorrow too.
