Grow Mediums AKsteel's First DWC, Mephisto Mystery Seed

[AKsteel]

Update Day 10
So far so good. She is growing and just started 3rd node. Have about a 6" tap root coming out of the bottom of the pot with more roots coming down quick. PH is holding around 5.9 and I bumped the PPM to 350.

Day 17 Update
Still running the same reservoir with RO water. Lots of new root growth and plant is looking good. PH has held steady at 5.85. No adjustments needed all week. PPM is running around 685. The ppm with just nutrients was 350 but then I added cal/mag and it went up to 685.
Again, thanks to all the folks that have helped me get this far. So far so good and R/O water is a must for DWC.

Day 24 Update
So far so good. Lots of roots and pulling about 2 liters a day. The RO water is still working good. Did a res change and only had to adjust twice before ph stabilized. PH=5.8, PPM=680.
No sign of of girl parts yet but I figure in the next week she will start blowing up...I hope.

Looks good man. I put my stone to soak in RO water last night. I'm going to let them soak for a while before changing the water, and checking the PH.

I have had zero issues so far with the new water and grow stones. Maybe it was the lack of soaking and rinsing plus the horrible tap water that was the issue. Good Luck brother.

That's what I have read.... A lack of soaking

Day 32 Update:
Things are looking great. She is taking about 4L of nutrients a day and starting to take off. Haven't switched to flower nutes yet but pistils just showed a few days ago. Pics to follow.
