Can’t fucking agree more with this! I’m pretty sold on DWC it’ll probably take place of my hempys. We will see how harvest goes.... if it goes well then I’m all in on DWC for my photos in my 4x4 and I’ll be running coco DTW for autos in my 2x4.

DWC update for trainwreck,
pH steady at 5.7
Ppm up from 213 to 231

Been swapping ice bottles 3 times a day now. Topped off with RO water. No nutrients or anything added. Is the plant still feeding the microbes and thats why ppm went up again?

No, your ppm shouldn't be going up like that anymore. You have a better ppm in there now.

Any nutrients that could leach out of your coco into the water?

If you're going to feed, just keep it light. Less is more lol.

sorry, I was more asking if that's what you would do at this point. Should I let them keep sucking up tap water? 110 ppm tap water

should I leave them in the cloner hood until their roots extend into the water in the bottom of the hood?

Are they going in dwc buckets?

If so, it doesn't matter. You can move them or leave them there to spit a tap. If you put them in a bucket, use light bubbles til it kicks roots. I wouldn't add nutes to the cube itself. 110 ppm tap is fine for that.

Ah that's right. Dolomite is slow release. So it's possible that could be leaching still.

I think I can see the yellowing you're talking about. There's no funky smell in there, right?

Nope no smell at the moment. Remember, my temps have been in the 90s and 80s in the room. I bet my res is getting into the warmer temps. Been swapping ice bottles 3 times a day. Only did hydroguard one time since I made this res up

Same room as the flower tent, gotcha. If that hydroguard doesn't protect those roots even with warm temps, throw it the fuck away, it's useless. You can try adding a little more to boost your count.

Those bags should be there by Friday at the latest. Those bacteria will handle into the low 80s for sure.

How far is the water below your net cup?

I'll add 2ml of hydroguard. Its only about an inch or two from the water when closed. Is that too close?

No, that's good. You don't want it too close, just checking.

Try the hydroguard, hopefully it helps. If you start getting a funky smell in there or your roots start tangling, then you'll know it's bad juju.

Top growth looks good here, but shades of green always look different on a screen.

Top growth is looking fantastic to me, not at all yellow and not a darker green either. Just down the middle. I added hydroguard, actually removed a couple cups of water cause it was under an onch from the net cup. Ppm is now 213? Maybe I need to order a new meter..... but yeah, my humidity is in the low 60s and temp is currently 84°. Should I start cooling it to help control it once the heat of the day starts? It will still be in the low-mid 80s. I will turn it off when I shut the flower tent
