Dutch Passion Auto White Widow - Second time DWC

[BillyWu]

Hello everyone at AFN. I managed to get a nice harvest of 118g from my last Auto White Widow plant, which was the first time I've grown a plant in DWC. I'm here again to grow another one and to put everything I learned on my first grow to the test. I think I'm going to do a lot better this time.

The seed has gone in for the soak today with some root stim. Thank you to Dutch Passion who provided me with the seeds.

Soaking my rockwool in pH 5.5 water with 5ml Voodoo Juice in it.

Just a few pictures here for today. My seed popped it's tap root out of it's casing sometime yesterday as when I checked it this morning, it had a long white root. I've put it in my rockwool cube, which was pre-soaked in pH 5.5 water with 6mL of Voodoo Juice.
Got my bucket, grow space and tools all bleached and cleaned yesterday so everything is ready for round 2.

Here's my initial res, which will last until I reach day 8. I will start day 1 off when the cotyledons pop up through the rockwool.

pH 5.5 water, EC 0.7.
80mL Formulex
40mL Voodoo Juice
3mL CalMag.

Nice setup! I'm doing my first grow, DWC also. Question, how big did your firdt WW get? How much did it stretch when it went into flowering? My plants look good, I just have no Idea what is common with WW growthwise.

Good luck with the second attempt Billy, mine's currently under way and it does get easier with time but nobody get it's perfect 100% of the time so don't stress :Sharing One: How do you find the AN nute line in hydro? I've heard a few people having problems with certain products like carboload..great in soil but not so great for DWC, just interested in your views buddy

To be honest my first WW didn't really get that big. It could've filled out the tent more if I had grown it better, but with it being my first attempt I didn't expect miracles.
It usually stretches quite a bit when it's pre-flowering. Here's a link to it.

I found all my AN nutrients worked quite well. How they compare to other hydro nutrients I can't really say, but they did well for me

Good luck with grow billy! I like seeing how different people get max potential out of small grow spaces. I'm growing in a DR60 too so will be subbed up bro. Who knows you might push me over the edge to try it myself haha I love DWC grows :Sharing One:
