Thats why I like to put my plants thru hell to really see what they can stand up to, high heat indoor with crazy humidity, and putting out side about 2 or 3 weeks before they last.frost outdoors, I have a bad state for.mold and bud rot as well, real bad haha im testing some strains now thats supposed.to.be very resistant to mold one being the 1976 lime green Guerrero X with Mazar i Sharif landrace extreme pinene pheno.
I do the same lol. Had a lot of people on here ask me why I would grow seedlings out to the 5th or 6th node and then kill them. That's about all it takes to weed out the weaker plants and then cut again at the end of veg. I push for fast growth, quick rebounds from training, and solid, even structure.

No sense in keeping what you're not looking for lol.

Exactly, Ive been been thinking about doing the real old ways and throw out 500 seeds, and let only the strong survive in a cramped outdoor space, and work from.there

That'll be cool.see.them run hydro, I used to be interested back in the day runnin DWC, btw, firehouse subs sells 5 gallon buckets with rubber seal lids for a 2 dollar donation, and theyre food grade.
But I got so deep into growing organics, that im now learning about the full holistic gardening, no till living soils etc. Etc. Lol

I'm definitely a proponent of organic. Just not thrilled with the rate of growth in soil. That's why I'm trying to run organic materials in hydro. I see why it hasn't been done. I'm learning the ins and outs of how this manure tea does. Ppm is fucking worthless lol.

All in all, it's easier to grow with "salt" fertilizer, but if I can nail this, no more edta.

If I was.going to try to."invent" a method for hydro organic, Id base it off of the tribal africans I belive it was, in todays time, who was growing weed ontop of a flowing river, there was a mound in the middle of that section of river/backwaters of river, they would grab hand fulls of the rivers floor and mud.from all around and pack it around the plants, often. The roots were growing in the river water, it was a natural DWC. Haha.

I have ducks and a creek. I use the silt in the garden. Between the mineral content and duck fertilizer, I can attest it works wonders.

I use mounded beds, so my garden is more hempy than outright hydro, but I live in a swamp, so they have a very good water table to draw from. I have the irrigation piped to the huckleberry patch... they love it too lol.

Nature provides... you just have to pay attention lol.

So Id try to make the top 6 inches of the bucket, organic substrate, and under that pure bubbling water. So after the roots hit that length boom Your DWC, and you place all your nutes in top substrate.

Tried that with hempys, coco though. Still prefer no substrate.

Seems like the BH is just a finicky bitch all the way around. Mine has been in hydro for 2 days and it's starting to pick up now. Ethos may have some great genetics, but this BH... I dunno.
It’s an R1 the genetics aren’t very stable yet. Not surprised honestly kinda the risk with ethos R1’s.
