    5by5's 2nd RDWC grow

    Running about 550ppms. Still drops 30 a night but I just add it back each night to keep 550 all the time. Calmag/GH Three part. 1 part micro, .5 part grow, 1.25 part bloom. This time I am not seeing any kind of spots or brown/dead leaves like last year. Here is underneath the canopy. Not really...

    5by5's 2nd RDWC grow

    They have gotten a bit unruly. I have done two big trims, one at switch and one about a week ago. I would pinch the stem over on the tall but I am going to let it ride. Maybe it will bud the whole way down.

    Get ready for those things to fill up your space once you flip!

    5by5's 2nd RDWC grow

    Sweet. Yeah man, I have been doing this completely by trial and error too. I still have to come home to adjust the fans every day at lights on and off. I need a bluetooth rheostat lol.

    HYDRO something wrong with plants :(

    Another good way to check your roots is to give them a slight tug. Good roots will have "body" and hold themselves up, sort of stiff you could say. Shitty roots will hang around like wet noodles, and will slough off at the slightest tug. +1 on the peroxide for cleaning the roots and netpot. Your...

    5by5's 2nd RDWC grow

    They look great but you look like you got some N tox going on. Dark green leaves and pointed down tips. Drop the grow a bit. I ran into the same thing in veg and a little into flower. As soon as I dropped the grow by half it went away.

    5by5's 2nd RDWC grow

    Yeha you arent kidding. I am 13 days since flip and its getting out of control. I had to trim the shit out of them last night cause the top was blocking everything, leaves sitting together ect. Only running 500ppm @.5 but I add every night back to 500, it drops like 40 ppm a night. I have been...

    We get that you suck at hydro but dont go around giving shit advice like that. Your response had nothing to do with the question.

    5by5's 2nd RDWC grow

    Thanks for taking the time to read them. Ditto as far as the additions and revisions. If I had it my way I would have built a new system already but I figured I would run this one for a bit cause it works. What size water pump are you running? The more DO the better for sure. A lot of people say...

    5by5's 2nd RDWC grow

    Adding back about 1.75 gallons a night and around 40ppm of nutes every night. In other words the PPM's drop about 40 a night. PH stays relatively stable. I attribute this to adding fresh nutes. I brew a fresh EWC tea with the Oregonism XL and Ancient Forest each res change. I brew it nice and...

    9 days into 12/12. I have been using RO water for the first time. 440ppm or about .9EC. Equal parts Calmag and GH three part. Silica is used on fresh res.

    Adding a bennie tea with myco, trichoderma, and various bacteria helps to maintain a more "soil like" grow as far as micro-organisms are concerned. I personally think the trichoderma is the main player. It literally seeks out and feeds on pathogens. In soil and hydro.

    Also, FWIW on two of my plants, I snapped one of the main shoots almost half off training them. I wired it back into place and it just grew like crazy, never even wilted.

    5by5's 2nd RDWC grow

    These things are sucking down about 2 gallons a night, also dropping the ppms around 20 a night. My PH dropped to 5.5 last night, I am assuming because of the nutrient usage during the flowering transistion. Starting to see little budlets. I am going to put up the scrog net tonight or tomorrow.

    Your first grow appears like it is going well. The only problem then is doing it again a second time!! Again, topping and trimming will pay you back big come harvest time.

    Topping autos in dwc... yes or no???

    Yeah, when I top my photo's in rdwc they show no signs of stress or stopping growing. This would be ideal if done to a vigorously growing auto. The whole point is not to lose even a night of growing time.
