Indoor Just got my first hydro grow on a roll.

So here's the long overdue update. Went out of town, and shit has been crazy since I've been back. I've got some Think Different seeds that I'm going to wait to start until I have all the nutrients I want. Don't want to screw them up. I moved everything outside to take advantage of the sun. Shitty bag seeds so wtf, right? Anyways, here are some pics at what I think is day 32 for the DWC buckets, and day 18 for the 3 plants in the one gallon soilless. I'm thinking the natural sunlight has a MAJOR advantage over cfl's, lol. The three plants in the bucket are the seedlings from picture 7 of the last set of pictures. I just threw them in coir, watered with nutrient solution from the DWC rez, put them outside, and for got about them.
Questions, comments, and green vibes all welcome.

EC is 2590 Microsiemens. What is that as far as EC?

PH doesn't seem bad. Doesn't fluctuate much.

These are the best roots of the three. Pretty pathetic, but they're growing.

Put The whole setup outside to take advantage of the sun. Not good for reservoir temps I'm sure, but these plants are just an experiment. Just playing around.

These are the seedlings in the set of pictures from the last update. Thrown in coir, watered with nutrient solution straight from the DWC reservoir, put outside, and forgot about for 2 weeks. I'm liking the natural sun.

I think all of the roots are in hydroton, do you use some root stim?If you will, use ryzotonic, for my opinion is the best.They are looking healthy. Please measure your tap water or some bottle water and check what reading of ec/tds you will get - to be sure your plants are not in pure nut solution :p. It is hell if you don't have correct equipment (my experience)
Mushrooms :clap:
 
Plants are lookin great! I have a check valve on my air line, learned the hard way from having a fish tank not to have the check valve in place. My babies are two weeks old today will have picture tomorrow.
 
Some people put in frozen water bottles in their res
you should try that

Man, I actually bought some RO/Distilled water today and it measured 18 microsiemens. My well water was 21 coming from 180 feet below ground. Didn't believe it at first so I switched back and forth between the two and sure shit it was right. Yeah, I wish I was using root stim. That's why I'm waiting to start the TD seeds. Want to have some Canna root stim, and base nutes.

Definitely going to try it. Heck, it's free. I'm going to get a chiller when I get the funds, but frozen bottles will work for now.
 
Looking pretty dang good dude. Cool that you just left a hydro setup outside, I love that.
