hey 5th, I don't get too fancy just what (I think) need....this is my first dwg so I'm going by 'feel' a little bit mixing my own 'extras'..I'm using ro water with stealth grow products (micro, grow, and bloom) I also add calmag, and a squirt or two of each of the following...aqua shield, silica blast, hydroplex, sweet, liquid karma, with lot's 'o' love...water temp ..never measure it if it's warm in the house it's good enough!...ph 5.6 - 6.2....ppms right now apx 1050-1350...I don't check the humidity, have a exhaust fan ,co2, or light timer, just the basic stuff that's needed...I'll try and get some black hose but for now I just wash the buckets eveytime I change the water...by the way it's time to change the water!

Nice work p man

 

[p man]

thanks bro...just figured out ones a indica and one a sativa that's why baby 'sis' is taking longer and looks different ..both are auto from hi grade seed but I didn't write it down just grabed some from my parcel and started growing .....

have you been using rhizotonic or some other very dark coloured nute/additive? Those roots look pretty brown to me? I notice you appear to be using one of the small hailea air pumps. What volume of air does that model pump out? I would recommend picking up a second and having one for each bucket, that will help keep your rootzone healthy and the plant feeding at crazy speeds.

the roots are actually brownish/pinkish from the liquid karma which is dark dark brown and from the pink 'bloom' I use...the roots are fine just looks like rot in the picture...I was thinking about another air pump but I always see alot of broken roots in the water so I figure the air pump is breaking them ...I usually take the plant out of the water for apx 10 min daily to give it more air ....also I let the water in the bucket go down to apx 2-3 " from the bottom before adding water so I know they get some air that way...I might try two pumps on the next grow but my hydro store said you don't need it..if I crank it up it puts out alot of air/bubbles

Many thanks for the pics. Aswell as the grow info.

Mostly due to my lazyness with bubble buckets, I get alot of "cord" type roots. (water not deep enuff in the buckets) You my friend, have so many fishbone roots that I am truely envious.

I would never bash coco or soil, but I bet you've convinced a few people to step over to the Deep Side with this grow. :clap:
