Seed Stockers Rambo Goes RDWC

[Journey Man]

Looks like a 100% germ rate.

And some roots

Not sure when to put them in the net-pots, but ill do it tonight or tomorrow and hoping im doing correct.
Will rinse the pebbles and make sure the PH is stable.
Also going to see if I can get that water-pump to deliver little water to the small girls.

looking good rambo if you put the water level just touching the bottom of the net pot whatever your useing i presume pebbles they shoul wick enough moisture up untill the root make there way down

I added the nutrients and corrected the PH and checked the temps. Everything is stabile. There is small bubbles that splashes the whole net-basket wet, the bubbles from the airstone. It might be enough if i just add water by hand a couple of times a day to keep the pebbles really moist.

PPM is around 320, ph at 5.8 and temps around 22°C/72F...

I have to say that when i added the nutrients in the rez it felt normal, it felt like it was a natural thing to do, like ive done it before. Will see how a rez-change feel like, if its not much more complicated then this, then this is a peace of cake. I might screw up so i better shut up .

And i have not decided wich seedlings to go with... 2 cubes in 1 basket.... ill try and chose the one with best roots.

We have a touch-down, got a 1 cm tail out of one net pot... lets see now how she reacts to the nutrients. 325 ppm and ph slightly under 6. I think its pretty fast, ive seen guys wait a week, it could be a bigger size net-basket aswell.

Thanks @EvilScotsman. I was planning to keep this EC for ten days then check how green they are, i might raise it to 400-450 ppms. It was almost like i raised it yesterday as they are less green compared to the ones i have in normal pots with a mix of coco and precharged soil.
I did read that the roots grow better in a low ppm/EC when they are seedlings, but in the same time i was worried to not get a "green" start. Also, i dont want to run any light-feeders, if they dont like the ppms, beat it.



Lets have a look at them later today.

Here are the girls...

In this net-pot i started with two seedlings but as one was little slower and the first leafs didint look 100% in the center one, i took a spahre one and added as well as i feel okey with the three in the other pots. I think the left one will be a keeper, looks perfect, but i will wait little and see, the one in center might be a freak and want to get massive, as ive seen alot of times that different can be very good.

I think they look little pale, it could be strain-related but i want to raise the nutes after taken these pictures. I will raise by add magnesium and Nitrogen, 50ppm or so, then have a look in a couple of days.

(Edit: Said and done, ppm went from 330 to 395.
Hope i made the correct decision.)

yeah man "no light feeders" thats a good logic. i tried a few smaller plants but they just couldnt handle my approach. im pretty aggressive with them so need good sturdy plants. even mephistos hbss buckled under pressure when i pushed her. ill be sticking to dutch passion for sure. this be my last grow for a while sadly. but ill be back at it one day : )

Agree on that! Plants should be hungry and take some beating, strong plants survives even when you mess-up. I cant comment on other seed-companis as i hasnt tried them but i can say that DP has strong genes in their plants.

Your DP AutoUltimate will be so big and heavy that you can relax for 6-12 months and still float on that harvest.

looking good to me rambo when i was doin dwc a few years back we used to start of at 0.6 to 0.8 ec which is about 450 to 550 ppm worked well and moved up from there my buddy was the measurement man so i cant help any more really but if you think dwc is for you then cheak out some dwc propogaters they worked great for photos that we grew and there shouldnt be any stunting with auto from transplanting because you just take it out one soulution and straight in the next . like i said before we did a mixture of aero and hydro so we made our own out a 40l rectangle container made 10 holes in the lid for net pots put a small fogger a water heater in it with just enough water to let the fogger work i wish i had pics from back then we were like mad scientists

(i hope sum of that made sense )
