Grow Mediums Steely's first hydro grow. LED DWC.

Well i've just met the neighbour, and, to be kind, i can't see him making it to the top of the house, he is VERY large and huffs and puffs.

So no need to buy a lock, phew !

Tomorrow morning i will fill the autotopup bucket with a fresh res, i'll pH it down to 5.5 maybe 5.2, as the pH does seem to rise, but very slowly.

So excited about that first root hitting the water :)

Have a good week/end chaps and chapesses :)


All the best,

Sounds like a result man. Is it just ph water in the res & topup?

Day 18 ...

She survived a week in hydro completely unattended :)

pH drifted up to 6.0 in the bucket and the topup res.

PPM drifted up to 880 in the bucket and 850 in the topup res. That's an EC of roughly 1.2.

Roots have grown and some have started peeking out of the side of the pot.

Growth is a bit slow since she is only under a couple of weak CFLs, but my LED should be back to me Monday or Tuesday next week.


Cheers,

steely
 
Nice work Steely. that root should turn into a massive root ball.

steely, how is that float valve working? I bought the same one but have not installed it yet. I am definatelt looking forward to not having to fill my res by hand daily.
 
I let my ph drift as high as 6.4 I don't believe constantly messing with the ph is a good thing. IMO keep it in a range of 5.7-6.4 and you'll have no problems in hydro. With that said no comes the fun part, sitting back and watching her grow!

Hey steely. She looks healthy, no question about it. I think you will Rock this grow and she will turn out fat and chubby. Cheers
 
Fantastic work steely glad to see your settling into dwc with no problems.

No....that's what he IMPLIED, not what he said :) He said the man was VERY large and huffs and puffs....

Looks GREAT Steely, a whole week unattended...seems to me you've got something dialed in properly. I've seen these go to hell in a hand bucket rapidly...so that's a fine indicator. :)
