    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Got it! Found a small magnifying glass around the place that seems to get the job done. I think the trichomes are still clearish..?

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    I started flower on June 11th, so I just started week 6. What's the normal range, typically like 8-10 yeah? Haven't been looking at the tricomes, can you do that with a regular magnifying glass?

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Looking good! Mine are doing pretty well too. Installed a second clip fan for some extra air flow. Starting to think about when I should flush the tank and run with no nutes for the final 2 weeks. I think I'm still a week or 2 away from that.

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Yeah I killed 2 males that were in that same reservoir, it's possible that some of their roots were not removed because they had become interwoven with the remaining plant's root system. This could be contributing to the PH drop. The PH has been remaining steady recently since i have a higher PH...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    I’ve used this chart as well, but haven’t been able to understand the PH drop scenario = change reservoir. My PH tends to trend downward under normal circumstances, yet the leaves look great and the nutrients are clearly being absorbed. I typically just boost the nutrients as they drop and...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    awesome, good luck! Nice, yeah PH is tricky. Mine tends to drop over time so I tried to account for that by making the PH in the top-off res higher. It worked, just too well. Instead of my PH dropping, it began trending higher, so just need to lower the PH in my top-off a bit. It’s also...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    yeah I was preparing myself for disaster, but turns out they fared well. Debbie was very low on water, but survived and the indoor plant is great. Top-off res kept it in good shape with a healthy PH and nutrient balance. Buds are clearly forming now on the indoor plant and you can see below...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Currently 4 days into a 6 day trip. Did my best to set the indoor system up to last the entire time I'm gone. The PH of the main res tends to drop over time, so I tried to account for that by increasing the PH of the top-off res AND I added a ~25% strength nutrient solution to the top-off res as...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    It goes fast, you’ll b there soon. my tent plant has been filling out relatively well. Just finished week 3 of flower and Pom poms are forming which is nice to see! Debbie was doing real well outside and still is out there (always had her in DWC), but a heavy rainstorm came through tnt and...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Been keeping a grow log. Looks like I added nutrients as soon as I placed them into the DWC system (after roots appeared through the other end of the cube). started off super weak @174 PPM Looking good!!

    Nice! And the journey begins..

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Appreciate the encouragement. On the plus side it was nice to see that I can actually grow a decently healthy plant with hydro my first time around, even though I had to intentionally kill half of them..lol Unfortunately the remaining one was never topped unlike the other two that were removed...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    yeah def sucks man.. well I chopped the males out, which was an annoying process since they were all sharing the same reservoir. Had to separate the root systems and take 2 scrog off. Figured it was a good opportunity to clean and refill the res too. Anyway the remaining plant (along with...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    I have some unfortunate news.. both of my northern lights plants appear to be male. I guess buying feminized seeds is prob worth the extra $$.. so annoying.. I have one other plant in the tent which is feminized so hopefully that actually turns out to be female. Prob will need to cut the others...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Definitely seeing the beginnings of bud sites, but no pom poms yet. I’m 2 full weeks into flower and starting to get concerned about tent height. I don’t think these ladies will make it all the way to full maturity without getting super close to the top of the tent, so need to figure out what to...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Thanks. I used a Wyze cam, it’s got a built in time lapse feature. You can set how often u want it to take photos and at the end of the time frame it will put them all together into a video. we just passed a bill for recreational use and possession where I am. Will prob take another year or so...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    hmm interesting. Just finished putting together a time lapse of the first half of my grow. Looks like I started out uncovered and then switched to covered shortly after:

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Rounding the end of week 6, 9 days into flower. Just trimmed the bottom 25% and have had several light rounds of defoliation.

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    what's weird is she's supposedly the same strain as one of the other plants in my tent (Dutch Treat) and the one in the tent is doing fine. Maybe she's just a runt..
