    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Interesting, so maybe it is mites! As for the deficiency, my other ladies are doing great at a higher strength. The reason why I kept this one weaker is because she seemed to be struggling with the original concentration when in the same tub as my other plants. That said, maybe I’ll try...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Hydro, 5 gal bubble bucket. This is one of my weaker plants who wasn’t keeping up in the tent so I moved her outside. She’s got a relatively weak dose of flora trio @ ~357 PPMs. Been keeping a decent watch on PH (5.6-5.9 range). As for scoping, just looked at leaves with bare eyes. Haven’t seen...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Trying to figure out what these marks on one of my plants are related to. Seems to be most noticeable on lower leaves and I think is traveling upwards. Originally thought it could be a pest of some kind, but I’m starting to think it may be a nute deficiency?

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    bottom looks pretty clean, maybe it’s a CaMg deficiency?

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Hey btw, been noticing some whitish specks on my outdoor plant. Been trying to do some research and the closest thing I’ve found to this might be spider mites? What do you think?

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Nice, yeah I imagine airflow gets much more complicated as the grow space increases.. Latest update on my space, plants growing through trellis, about 2 feet from ground including reservoir height.. only have 5’ of height in the tent. When accounting for 18” gap between light source and canopy...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    interesting.. might be the way the room is partitioned then. Something is is causing the air to get stuck.. I know that doesn't help much, but sounds like a layout issue.

    sounds like you need an exhaust fan. That should force the cool air that you’re pumping in to move through the space.

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    All good man, I wasn't annoyed by the observation, but just curious if I was missing something. The one outside is supposedly the same strain as the one on the right in the tent photo (Dutch Treat). The ones in the tent seem healthy, they're just super bushy and dense. Been trying to keep them...

    PPMs dropped to 616 yesterday, pumped back up to 760 with nutes and slipped back down @ 746 as of today. Next res change I’ll be increasing concentration to around 850. Outdoor bubble bucket is doing alright. She's def happier outside; not able to handle the nutes that the tent plants need.

    hmm you think they looks saggy in both the top and bottom photos? Pretty sure both were taken in the middle of their light-on cycle. Any ideas why that could be? They seem to be eating and drinking pretty well! About a gal and a half every couple days.

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Congrats! I'm still waiting to determine sex, should be soon though. Yeah it's def tricky with the 5 gal. LMK how it ends up working out. Mine are doing well! They were getting super puffy after the latest res change with a higher nute concentration. Decided to add in the trellis, but just have...

    ah I see, yeah 3.5' is a bit wide.. i'd consider using a free standing frame made from PVC and just lift that off the ground when you need to remove the bucket lid.

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Nice! Definitely helpful to see how you made use of a trellis in the past. Will need to think about it. A PVC frame does seem like a good method.. As for a 5 gal, found this image of someone who had mounted metal wire directly into the lid of the bucket to create a trellis support

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    haha nice, ended up going with tin foil that I attached to the bucket with foil tape. random question, what are your thoughts on using a scrog / trellis like the one I have hanging in my tent shot? Could be a good way to encourage lateral growth, but I just worry that it will make it hard for...

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    not a bad idea! I guess I could also wrap it with reflective tape like I did with the top of my tent reservoir..? Or maybe tape some tin foil down

    First DWC grow with top feed lines!

    Dutch is a 80/20 Sativa/Indica hybrid. Northern Lights is a 80/20 Indica/Sativa hybrid. I'll keep that timeline in mind as I work with these girls. W'l;l see how low I can keep them.. yeah concerned about that as well.. yes, definitely using SAG gff. Hopefully that will stave off any major...

    < - - 2 days into the 4th week - - > I topped the two Northern Lights at the 4th node (pictured on front and rear left of photo below) and since the Dutch Treat plant was a bit smaller, I'm just using LST on her to allow her to catch up a bit (on right side in photo). I wanted to do more LST...

    nice, yeah I feel like most of the lower priced pens are all within the same range of quality. I'd be curious to know how much better blue labs actually is. For what they charge those PH pens should last forever..
