First time hydro grow in an emilys garden 3gal dwc system
100gal tetra whisper air pump with 2 air stones
At first I only used GH floranova grow (I didn't know you had to mix with bloom) as they both came with te emilys garden
then my hydro shop told me what I had to do and I switched to jungle juice and have been giving it a dilution of 1:1:1 plus added cal-mag, orca, and hygrozyme.. Was using liquid ph drops keeping it in te yellow 6ish range) but broke down and bought a digi ph pen and keep it 5.5-6.0
tds at first was slowly ramped up to 1000ish when I started (tap tds is 30)
but it I started getting nute burn so now I've backed off my tds to 400 or so and still getting slight burn and the mag deficiency still is very apparent.
the plants are now showing preflowers and in my other thread I showed some pics
but they are ao tiny!
you think with the nute screw up earlier in the grow I permanent dwarfed them? Is that possible?
res temps in the mid 70's but Ive got crap ton of air pumping in plus using beneficials so no worry about bad bacteria
only other thing I can think of is the way Emily garden is laid out the roots took forever to hit the rez water, I had to constantly manual water from the top.
OR the seeds I got were crap seeds
light is a mars hydro 144x3 with 3w led's
I bought new seeds from a diff vendor and you can see the one I started about 2 weeks ago in soil and already it's bigger than the others growing in the hydro kit
