HUGE Update time this week

Firstly

AUTODAIQUIRI LIME UPDATE

She just had her fourth water change. This past week i swear she had a massive growth, she took the whole cupboard. She is drinking 1 litre per day and grows wayyy fast. She has lots of white hair now so i introduced flowering nutes this week.

12 liter water
28ml of Grow,Micro,Bloom Advanced Nutrients Ph Perfect
14ml of AN Voodoo Juice
14ml of AN Bud Candy
28ml of AN Sensi Cal-Mag Extra

Days since seed was planted: 46
Days since its in DWC: 42

Secondly

AUTOBLACKBERRY KUSH UPDATE

Too bad about that blackberry kush that's why I'm growing and I kind of wanted to see how it would go in deep water culture.

Hard to tell with the led, but it looks like your seedling could be under some stress. Could you by chance get a picture under normal light?

THATS RIGHT BUDDY! I got new seeds and planted them. I didnt mention anything about getting new autoblackberry kush seeds before i had something decent to show.
She just had her first water change. She looks healthy so far, i am following the same schedule like i was doing with the Autodaiquiri so far.

12 liter water
12ml of Grow,Micro,Bloom Advanced Nutrients Ph Perfect
6ml of AN Voodoo Juice
6ml of AN B-52
12ml of AN Sensi Cal-Mag Extra

Days since seed was planted: 16
Days since its in DWC: 12

You're right, that Blackberry kush is off to a real nice start. Say on that other plant, I think your LED could be just a touch too close. That little bit of yellowing you have on your upper leaves looks like early chlorosis from photoinhibition.

Plants are looking real good I think you got your main issue sorted out now[emoji268][emoji269][emoji271]

I have a question about DWC.
My lady now drinks a little bit more than 1litter a day. So far every 2-3 days when the water level from 12litres went down to 9littres, i would just top it up with JUST extra phed water, and on sundays i will do a full reservoir water change and add nutrients. I read somewhere that its better to let the plant almost have all the water in the bucket then drain it and feel it again with water and nutrients, and proceed with regular reservoir change on sundays too.

whats the best way to do this?

You would ideally measure your EC/TDS and if it is staying the same or falling with the water level, then you would let it drink until the water level went down lower. If your EC TDS is rising as your water level falls then your feed strength is more than the plant requires and your be better off adding PH'd water like you have and then at the next change reduce your total nutrient strength.

That is a very basic way of doing dwc which should work with your nutes since pH is stable.

@jingo is 100% correct and deffo in your case as you are over nuting.
see the dark coloured leaves ? this is caused by Nitrogen toxicity the reason there drinking so much water is because its to hot.lower the ppms slightly on any darkened plants or plants with clawing talon leaves the damage you can see is caused by lockouts.

i can also see what appears to be lack of DO ,cool the solution back to 21c 69f,or if thats not the issue add more air to the solution. or it could be that you are topping off far to high in anticipation of it dropping fast. Oh and one more thing...Thank you for the pics @Valentino1987 and also @jingo

Thanks guys for the info. Unfortunately i dont have an EC meter yet. Never thought my solution was hot because i didnt see any nute burns on the leaves, i will keep it in mind and not raise the nutes any more from now on and see what i can do about adding more air.
