Just started this grow about 3 weeks ago, seedling into hydro on 7/25. Classic GH drip system. Since this is my first experience with hydroponics (and my second all around grow) I was quickly sold by the "all-in-one" sort of package deal... nevertheless, the waterfarm has been doing great.
So far my experience has been dealing with washing the hydroton and getting a stable ph... I think I finally got it to settle down at around 6-6.1. Still checking at least twice a day. On top of that nobody warned me about algae build-up but maybe that's just common sense haha. I had to cover the hydroton with panda film and then add 1 and 1/2 tsp hydrogen peroxide to my res. Hopefully clears up all that. I'll update in a week...
GH Flora trio + CalMag/Mammoth. Been feeding with regular RO water/calmag/mammoth during seedling. I use a bedroom humidifier from Home Depot to control humidity, and a small walmart fan cools my 400W metal halide. Also, I modified my waterfarm by drilling extra holes for more roots to reach the medium faster. I also added a small airstone to the res and upgraded to a nicer pump... Eager to see how this plant grows and yields, hope you guys enjoy the show. Let me know along the way anything I can do better
