On the oxy pots I have 3 x cheese and 1 church than on the sides I have another 4 church cuttings, on the oxy pots im using canna aqua nutes and on the coco im using the coco nutes I got left over.
To start of am only using ¼ strength nutrients for the first week or so till I see more root formation, ph is kept from 5.7 to 6.1 I set it to 5.8 but it rises up the first few hours so I reset it and it than stays at it for a few days within the recommended level of 5.5 to 6.2 even though I never allow it to go past 6.1 or lower than 5.7.

Hey im 4 weeks into vedge on my first oxypot adventure and iv already had a huge learning curve. Make sure your rez water temps in the buckets no higher than 71ish as i didnt keep mine in order and was hitting 80f lights on in afternoon with 18/6. My roots were lovely and white one day then bam brown, snotty potato smelling roots! I was nearly ready to give up with using oxyplus etc everyday but to no effect and roots were getting worse. I then read up on beneficials and tried that before having to start again and in 12hrs i had new pearly white root growth. Check my thread "are my roots ok" . I used vitalinks biopac and cannazyme so if you got high tems in your rez get onto the beneficials asap.. I also added frozen water bottles twice a day to lower tems 1 light on and 1 lights off worked a treat. 1 litre bottles is enough well for me anyway

hey blaze your plant are looking nice.iv an oxy pot sitting doing nothing as I really have no clue on how to run it iv only ever grow in soil and hydro seems to me to be a lot more chemistry and gadgets than I'm used to.il keep an eye on your grow and maybe take the plunge next time.keep up the good work.peace

wuts up kalika? this grow is now out the way and it was my frist but the end product has been so far my best crop, really compact and fat buds
i never had a grow in hydro but i think it was easier than i expected, offcourse i had 1 or 2 set backs but nothing major
like when my ph meter broke and i could check my ph for more than a week, apart from that it went smooth, i now built my on rdwc system using the oxy pots than i had
i will start a new journal soon. if you still got your oxy pot why not give it a try, you only need a few bits and bobs to get it started

Hi there liked your post.I'm just about to have a go with 5 oxy pots got all the the right equipment and have read up loads and i've grown other ways aswell.This is the bit i'm unsure about WHAT IS THE EC,IE HOW DO I WORK BLUE TRUNCHEON,what is it for and is it really important.I think it measures the strenth of the nutes,is that right?And if so how do i know what strength nutes i should be giving?And how does it work?Everything else im fine with just very puzzled with this .Any help on this would be well appreciated.
