Nice work so far, they have got enough leaf material to start supporting some nice rapid growth now. I reckon they will double in size in the next 1-2 weeks. Lovely deep green colour to the leaves. Those are 3 very happy plants !
i wouldnt be bothered about the plants themselves as the water does retain oxygen for a certain period of hours-days,its only when oxygen starts to deplete in the res that any root system will start to suffocate and die off
depending on the health of the plants, if the root system was to die 1st then the plants would start to pull off their own reserves which they have stored up in their leaves to keep them going
to kill a plant naturally is a long process as there main function is to grow no matter what happens,its all about survival
hope this helps
hey seymour thanks for starting another great looking grow journal. Your TD grow inspired me to give DWC a shot and I have some (hopefully) about to sprout right now. Could you tell me what strength you add your rhizotonic at please? The bottle advises 40ml per 10 litres but ive added mine at about half that strength whilst I get a feel for tracking pH/EC.
if its rhizo that im using ill add it at 4ml per ltr of water for the 1st 2 weeks while the plants start to get a root system going, after 2 weeks i lower the dosage to 2ml per ltr of water
im actually liking the results of the dutch pro take root, you only need to use 1ml per ltr of water and the root structure is considerably different to rhizo with loads more root hairs that helps the plants absorb more water and nutrients which can only lead to bigger and stronger plants, id like to have seen the difference with my think different grow had i used that root stim instead of rhizo
dwc does produce some fantastic results with any plants not just autos but its definatly all about prescion, if your prepared to put in the effort of monitoring ec and ph for 10 weeks straight then you will get your reward
just to add, if you go onto the canna website they have a feeding chart that is ideal for begginers, i used this when i 1st started growing in dwc but now i just listen to what the plants are telling me and make shit up as i go along haha
good luck with your grow and welcome to the deep end :thumbs:
