All I ever grew in dwc was root rot. I had no clue about anything. 15 years ago I was asking if these plants could be saved LMAO.

 

[Fangthane]

Clearly just needed more CalMag. Newbs.

And then there is a recirculating setup. A drift upwards a little is actually a sign of health.

Yup I grew in rails for years. Drifting upward is always the sign of a healthy system. It's drifting downwards that is the sign of an infection.

 

[curious2garden]

Everybody tries dwc! And then moves on lol. It's really attractive to new growers who think what could be simpler!

So far I've dodged that rite of passage. I contented myself with home built NFT rails to begin ;D

Sorry, gotta counteract that somehow:

Started in DWC here too. Never getting those 18 months back.

I'll typically fight with them for a month or so before ripping them out in a minor fit of rage if I can't bring them around. But every so often I decide to just let an especially shameful plant keep on living. Here's one of mine. Behold, the mighty LSD25 auto:

Oh, that's a keeper for sure!

She amounted to one of the least satisfying joints I can remember smoking.

Those bitter experience terps can be hard to handle!

Why are we leaning to the left, or is it me?

 

[Fangthane]

Tasted of disappointment mixed with lacquer.

Circ fan in front right corner LMAO. Gentle but undeniable! Probably need 2 per tent, huh.

Guess I am lucky with DWC.
3.5 gallon buckets with air pump.
Tap water
Maxi bloom
I top off buckets every 4 days or so, change to clean empty buckets at flip and again at 4 or 5 weeks into flower
no testing, PH or EC, just a Tsp per gallon and done.

I'm lucky with my conditions!

Maxibloom. You can get away with murder with it! I won't grow with anything else. 1 tsp per gallon from start to finish. I think I tried to pH my res with organic cider vinegar and that was fatal!

 

[Fangthane]

I used distilled white vinegar and/or lemon juice for pH control my entire DWC run.

 

[raratt]

North wind is starting to pick up, fog should be gone shortly because of it.
I use a tile cleaner made of phosphoric acid to lower pH, EdFred, $1 an ounce at Ace,. It doesn't take much, I use about 1/8 Tsp Gal.



Mornin.

Some day, I hope to come across an edible that disproves my belief that I'm somehow immune to them.
