carefree dwc

I've been using tiger bloom 2-8-4 fertilizer I haven't been measuring or anything like that just guesstamations like the title says carefree dwc lol
 
looks good. im also doing care free dwc. you really dont need a ph meter or advanced nutes or anything. im using african violet 7-7-7 plant food my whole grow
 
yep looking good if you get a ppm meter it will help , and this is why.test your nute water -say its at 350 the next day its at 560. that means the plant is not eating ,its drinking water, awesome ,add more ph'd water too bring the ppm back down to 350....... now lets say the next time you check the nute water the ppm is at 210 and it was at 360 last night awesome that lady is eating. mix up 1 gal of nute water and add half to bucket ppm is now at 430 add phd water to top off res. when they eat feed them the explosive growth that follows is amazing .high times 013.jpg a ppm meter is a tool to use and it pays for itself in not having nute burn ,and being able to know what 1 strain can take, as some dont like to be force feed .... tools of the trade -get one next go 'round .
 
If its all the same strain then the carefree dwc will work, just take longer to get used to thier desired nute range. Going CFL throughout? I was planning on that, but i looking into some small compact 150w hps by sunsystem. two of these bad boys goes a long way. any ventilation in the closet?
 
I'm down to 3 plants

great find today at a yard sale a light fixture for a vanity with 6 light fixtures on it, that makes 24 lights with 2 Y splitters on each! $3 I was like sold!!
 
I topped 2 of them, picture update if I did it right lol. I found a humidifier at a yard sale for $2 they seem to love it at 100% humidity and around or about °105 if it becomes a problem I'll look into it lol
 
Those r looking awsome!!


it what kinda temps u run? Just wondering? But I think my problem was a over nute I guess I thought it was temp but I fixed that so round 2
 
I have no idea about the water temp, what is it supposed to be kept at? The grow room stays between 80 and 100 with humidity around 77 is this good or bad? The plants don't seem to mind!
 
Well I guess temp doesn't matter to much in the room if u have other conditions right I think what u got going with humidity and temp is called jungle affect hi rh/temp. I reed that water temp should be around 65 for ideal growing but not to sure
 
good morning grow friends, this morning I noticed my tiny plant isn't doing so well, this is ok if she doesn't make it I'll just be left with the 2 strongest ones. let's hope for females :)
 
so I checked and the air stones weren't producing air, I fixed this now we shall see what it looks like when they wake up!
