New Grower Over 40 first grow

[beertender]

Will update with a picture later... Really wish I took a picture earlier this week... I'm pretty sure I broke ever cardinal rule this.... Flowers were looking burnt out..ended up testing soil and it was way way way way pH high.... So I transplanted into a dwc bucket and it hasnt looked thus healthy since she first popped thru the dirt... Starting to bush out... Getting color back.. It's a amazing 2 day difference.. I'm sure she was gonna die if I just let it go.... Anyhow.. I'll post some pics later..

Good morning Beertender Please let me know your whole regime since you switched to dwc.( temp, humidity, Nutrients, Ph and ppm of solution in bucket) do you have a good airstone creating lots of small bubbles? You have multiple deficiencies Mag, Calcium, etc) Lets get this plant some help. Chef

 

[beertender]

Temp is about 78...using consiour sensi bloom a/b.... In a 3.5 gallons of water... I also added bug bud. This plant was in real real bad shape this week while in soil.. It's definitely doing better but isn't thriving like I would hope.... And advice would be greatly appreciated .. Humidity is sitting around 50%...ph was 5.8 ..

Do you have a ec/ppm meter?

 

[beertender]

No, but I used distilled water if that helps

 

[chefdave]

If you are growing hydroponically you need a Meter Beertender, Both Ph and Ec/ppm. Ther cheap from amazon 12 us dollars. Make sure to get one(PH) that comes with a calibration powder solution,

 

[chefdave]

Sounds like you have a ph meter already, but if you don't have a ppm/ec how are you feeding reservoir? you cant go by amounts on nutrient labels everones water is different and in dwc you need to change bucket/rese weekly

Ah... OK. . Ordering one now.. Sorry.. I'm a newb
