Hi everyone,

My name is Agustin, i'm a grower from Argentina, and this is my first grow using hydroponics.

My growing room specs are:
18m2 indoor
- Mars Sunflash 153E (150w consumption, equals 400w sodium) 8 units (covering aprox 80cm x 80cm for each plant)
- 6" Intractor with a flow of 1900m3/H
- 6" Extractor with 2x carbon filters
- Bioproyect minerals + fertilizers (this is an argentinian brand of hydroponics)
- RDWC 8.1 System (8 buckets of 20 liters + 1 deposit)
- Air conditioning + deshumidifier
- 8 Super Lemon Haze BSF bank
- The building of this indoor took me 1 month, im really excited of this process and i want to keep the follow-up of my plants to show you and to learn more about this amazing way to grow.
The plants has 4 days of life.
The cycle started on 28/04.
If you have any advice for me, it will be welcomed. Thank you

I wish you all the luck. I hope the rockwool does ok for you. Is there a pump that returns the solution or moves it at all?

Hi everyone, here is an update. This is how i found the plants today.
They looks healthy. Actually, the EC is in 480 and the PH 5.4.
I have to change the solution in 4 days.

The root has already entered into the water, I didn't take any pictures of this. I promise next time I will take some.

Greetings

Hi everyone, here is an update. Today I changed the solution, I recorded a video but unfortunately I can't upload here
New values are:
PH 5.5
EC 750-800
Plants are looking great, there are some stains in the leaves, its caused by the calcium of my water (so high). I sprayed some water to increase the humidity.

Greetings

800 PPM? If so that seems pretty high, and the seedlings won't be using a whole lot until they get bigger anyway.

The first Res you mixed up could technically cover the entire next months veg period if you topped it up at some point. Or until you notice the EC going down faster. Especially with babies in a large system. Res changes are a lot more important later on for sure. No harm though, unless the high EC starts to cook them.

Thank you for answering! I'm following the indications of Bioproyect. My water has high EC (400ppm), i dont have osmosis filter, that's why i add the products and the EC goes high.
Roots are already in water. Roots are 15cm length.
What do you think? Should I low the ppms? Maybe I can add distilled water.

You could transfer them all into a single DWC tote for a few weeks, with a few gallons of water. That way your not forking out a lot for distilled, which you could either use pure, or even mix with your current water to like 100-200 PPM.

I would look into getting an RO filter.. You might be able to pull it off without one though. My well water is like 300PPM and stinks, and leaves way to many deposits to run it through a filter, so I truck in water I get free from town :(

I have a whole house filter. It connects right where the main supply comes into the house. It's like 50$ for the set up plus the filters are like 10$ for like two filters. They have expensive ones that will filter out pathogens and everything but they cost a lot.
