Indoor SOMETHING UNIQUE - Northern HOG by TH seeds - Cowboy DWC

Day 14

Shes starting to go. Pathetic little root though. Was.. hoping for more then. 1. . . . . I assume their is a ton building up in the hydroton waiting to drop.. Maybe I have a bad water level? Its about 1 inch form the bottom with the bubbles hitting the pot.. Don't see anything wrong atm.. Just slowwww, And maybe a little pale?? More nutes?

Some Autos have a different root structure, they will make a number of long, straight roots instead of a big tangled ball. Don't know why, but have seen it in DWC, especially with the Chemdogging I just grew. Don't worry, you plant looks great!

i think you ph and ec is worn brv i would get her on and ec0.9 and ph 55-56,she well start too look better in and coulp of days iv only got my blue treacle on an ec off 0.9 and a ph off 5.9-60 on week 4.but i got my girl in coco,your doing hdyro so ph should much lower :Sharing One:View attachment 404905

I disagree about your PH recommendation. Below 5.7, certain fungi will begin to grow in the solution, that are bad for the plant. Also, a 5.5-5.6 PH is below the point of absorption for many of the needed nutes. the proper range for DWC / RDWC is 5.7-6.2. 5.9 - 6.0 is a good target through out the grow. Also, your EC is spot on for this stage of growth. Your res temp is a bit too high though. try to keep the res temp between 62-70F ( 17.7 - 21.1 C )

A good link for you:

Also, once you've set your PH, don't mess with it. Its natural for the ph to rise over time. Adjusting PH IN the res can stress the plant and unless it goes very high or low ( not likely ) its actually good for the plant. Why? Because different nutrients have best absorption at different ph levels.

Anyone? I thought dropping ec and rising ph meant something?

Usually means the res is too weak .When the opposite happens it's too strong :Cool bud:

I have to agree with KUDO and disagree with this ... The elements absorbed at this lower range are needed at seedling stage & some absorbed at higher levels you don't want until later on.A lot of essentials for early growth are found below 5.8 & if some fungi or other issues can occur thats down to the grower to correct or avoid if needed .

I would say 5.5 is maybe a bit low for a 17 day old plant & only run that low for the 1st week ...but keeping below 5.8 through the veg period & then above 5.8 through bloom will give them the elements they need at the right stage

Wow thanks for the response! POP22 I noticed its crazy, its like speghtetti. Its not knotting up AT all. I heard its suppose to carry some heavy thc for an auto. We shall see. DWCoca Ill get my ph to 5.7 and then 6 for bloom. Ill throw some frozen bottles in every morning to keep it cool. Thanks! :Sharing One:

Well guys all I can say is that was the right direction to go. I haven't taken photos or updated as of yet for a certain reason.

I topped it..

I know its crazy controversial but its done. Ill get a photo in the morning. It was looking a bit sad yesterday. On another note my OG S1 photo plant has taken off.. So I topped it ! ahahahaaha now their both slow and deathly muahahahahaha. FML
