Oh, and those rubber coated wires (better than the twist-tie stuff) is pricey, and not great when you try to secure stuff to the pot. I make little hooks out of that stuff to hook the plant with, then use the roll of garden twist-ties to go from that to whatever I am tying it to.

S-hooks of the soft green, twist-tie wire for securing....saves $ too...

Haha, no hasn’t been to bad hanging out in the missus’s domain. I go in for 5 min in the morning before work and change out the frozen bottle( been thinking of getting 2nd hand hailea 150a chiller if I see one for the right price)in the dwc and check ph & ppm ( been thinking of getting a blue lab guardian monitor). After work I just do the same routine. On the weekend I change out the dwc water.Are you hating that it's stuck in a laundry room yet? Spending more time in there than you planned? Got a coffee cup ring on the dryer yet?
Looks great!
I will go and see if I can get some grafting wax after work today, cheers for the suggestion.
Currently I am just using cut up plastic coated Coat hangers to train the soil plant which the missus hasn’t missed yet.
I will check out your grow journal after work, when I get home.
Cheers for the all the suggestions.

Day 35. Upped the watts a day ago on the qb132's to 234watts to get 478ppfd or 33500lux at 20" above plants. No ill effects after 24hrs.
On the downside, I am not sure that the top 2 nodes on the dwc are going to make it. They are not hanging on to much at the moment but they are still trying. I put a bit on fresh aloe vera on them just now. You can see from the picture they split pretty well. Should I just cull to tops or give them more time to heal? It has been feeding well with the ppm down to 340 today after being 400 a few days ago.
Did some lst and training on the soil plant which is going great.

Lookin good.
Let it go another week, then go with your gut...doesn’t seem like it will hurt anything to do so...this is a nebula, correct?

Yeah I just covered the area with aloe vera to see if that helps it heal. Hopefully, it might form a knuckle maybe.

Day 38. Last night I mixed up some new soup at a higher strength. 10lts water @ 90ppm (2.63gal) and 6ml each of the trio, 10ml calmag & 40ml Rhizotonic. End result was 590ppm with tds-3 meter(1.2ec) After 24hrs plant looks to be loving life. The top 2 nodes have still got the aloe vera wedged on top of the nodes and are still hangin in there.
Soil plant has just been cruising along doing its thing. Gave it its 1st feed of some gw mycorrhizae & kelp powder with some eco-aminogro yesterday as well. I am getting 10ltr's of Organic worm juice this weekend so will start feeding a tea once a week comprising of water, bioactive compost, worm extract & kelp powder. I will mix it all together and put an airstone in it overnight then strain.
Will give it 1 more week for its roots to fill out then will up-pot to the 10 gal fabric pot.

Day 40. WOW. The Dwc plant has exploded.
How big do you let your fan leaves get before removing them? A few are way bigger than my hand, but they are not shading anything. Do I just leave them? I have noticed a lot of sweating on the dwc plant so I added another small usb fan to blow air at the bottom of the plant. Temps has been 75f &66rh.
Do you think 2 plants in different growing mediums (dwc&no till) is doable in a 3x3x8?
When to shop to get some more Rhizotonic yesterday & the chap told me to get H&G Roots Excelurator as it works out more economical & said it was a better product. I also got some Cannazym & Mammoth P while I was there and added them to the bucket.

Day 44. Plants bounced back great after defoliate 2 days ago.
Mixed up some new soup for DWC plant.
12ltrs water(3.17gal) 57ppm.
9ml calimagic-9ml each of the GH flora trio-40ml Rhizotonic-30ml Cannazym & 2ml Mammoth P ,ended with 600ppm (1.2ec) ph'd to 5.7. Kept 2ltrs aside in the fridge for a top up when within the week.
Finally got my Organic Worm Extract to make a soil drench for soil plant.
I have put 2ltrs water in a bucket with 1 cup of Humus rich Bioactive compost with an air stone to aerate overnight. In the morning I will strain it & add 10ml of the worm extract, 1/4 scoop of Kelp powder and .5ml of Mammoth P. and feed the soil. I will probably up pot to the 10 gal fabric pot in a few days.
I am looking at flipping on day 54.

@Or_Gro Hi Mate, got this today, what do you usually view ec , tds or ppm? Edit: found some video's on the blue lab site on how to set up & how easy it is to use. Now I don't have to take the plant out of pot every day to check ppm, temp & ph with a pen.-Stoked
Did a bit more lst & trimming today, this Phantom OG seems to love it.

Congrats, top quality tool. I use ec, but a lot of people like ppm, too.
You’re doin great man!
