Grow Mediums 1st grow in DWC - Dutch Passion Think Different & Automazar -

[borax]

Day 26


after the advice of seymour have managed to stabilize the pH and begin to understand what plants want (but I would not get wet before it gets to rain).
Room temperature--min 19°(light off) max 26.1°(light on) RH 44%.
I'm feeding Both plants at EC 1.7 and pH 5.8 and I think they're reacting good. I checked the values, and Both plants Remained ph 5.8 (with very very minimal fluctuations) and the EC for AutoMazar was 1.50, and 1.52 for Think Different.So if I well undestood, a considerable lowering of the value of ec like this, I would suggest that the plants have absorbed the nutrients faster than water, and this induce me to increase ec.What do you think? Am I wrong?

yep.i think i can quote Seymour here ...... "if ph rises & ec drops =,add feed (up ec) .... if ph drops & ec rises= ,less feed(lower ec) ..... if ph & ec stay stable = sweet spot dance2"

looks good, and remember a wise hydro grower once said it is better to err on the side of caution when it comes to nutrient strength. I know one hydro grower who swears that an ec of 1.2 is enough to grow anything, and higher nutrient concentrations should only be applied when you have the experience to know the girls can take it

so good luck with everything, may the next few weeks be smooth and budtastic

Day 30

Hi AFN!I hope you are all fine
I checked AutoMazar and she had EC 1.23(in 4 days passed from 1.7--1.50--1.48--1.23) pH 5.1 (5.8--5.8--5.5--5.1), Think different EC 1.33 (1.7--1.52--1.41--1.33) pH 5.8 (5.8--5.8--6.0--5.8). Room temperature 20°-25° and RH 70-50%
Today I made a fresh res for the babies changing ratio of nutes (see above seymour rules) and increasing EC @ 1.75, pH @5.8.
Things seem to be going well...AM is 30 cm tall and TD is 40 cm tall, both in pre-flower and if I guessed right time, in two weeks I will pass to bloom nutrients (as said seymour)...let's see!

If your EC drop so much in 4 days, you need to tap it up. Always prepare a spare bucked full of nut solution 5/10 or 7/10 strength. This ph drop can lead to rusty spots on the leafs and curl, try to up it slowly 0.3 in 5-8 hours max. Hope you would be able to handle your issues, once you are dialed in everything will go smoothly (normally)

Day 33
Checked EC and adjusted pH
AM(left):Ec 1.53 pH 5.7 36 cm tall
TD(right):Ec 1.53 pH 6.0 51 cm tall
seems nothing has changed but they are taller
little update

Lots indeed in a month has happened! looking very green, cannot wait for some nice bud site shots.

Day 37

Hello AFN!How are you?
They are eating and growing!They are Taller and wider than a week ago so AM 41cm and TD 69cm.I tried to maximize the space but I think that next time I'll have some problems about changing res but looking and doing...
Ec goes down..pH goes up and Today I made a fresh res both EC 1.85 and pH 5.8.
I reduced the amount of the grow solution and increased the bloom and the micro ones.I think next week I'll switch to full bloom nutrients+carboload+pk13/14. Maybe I need some tips about this...you are welcome!I guess I have to use these but I don't know exactly when...cheers :group:
