OK COOL...so that's good you are bumping the RH, as that should slow down the uptake a bit. Next is that if you are going in at 5.8 and coming out at 6.4 ...you are likely around 7 at the root zone (an average). You will see spikes in EC after drybacks yes. However, we need to maintain the root...

Shit...that was a long post sorry....

I'll throw my 2 cents in....I'm new to the forum, and am trying to get involved when the time permits, and this group as has been helpful to me in the last few weeks that I have joined...so thanks everyone for growing and sharing! I think you should start with the fundamentals. PH, temp, RH...

I'm glad you brought that up as I am planning a coco run like I said and have no drip setup in my veg room, so hand feed, but can fit 40 plant/10 per table. I was thinking of 2 or 3 gallon air bags, 40% perlite, and 9 per light using automated drip. Have never run coco... Do you think 2-3 gallon...

Im harvesting my first RW his weekend and it was not good. I have a good canopy but small buds. I fought the whole way through with every issue there is LOL... So I feel your pain. What week are you in? Flower I assume.

FYI...the towels have been a game changer...Thanks! That makes sense burying the cube thanks. Are you still running RW or Coco...been thinking of trying a coco run at some point. It would seem that depending on the normal factors, that you can achieve basically the same result in either medium?

Thanks again...starting to get the feel. That balance on pushing the initial dryback and EC spikes like you said. Will use the 6" when I use up what I have.

You are first and only person that I have received some "specific" real world RW experience from...so yes VERY Helpful ! I will make some changes based on your recommendations and report back...hopefully someone else will benefit from this post as well.

Thank you my friend... Sorry to make you repeat yourself on the plants being able to handle the muliti feed. My first RW run was with 4" delta on top of 8" bagged uniblocks, and had about every challenge you could have the whole way through, I did not like that combo, on top of the learning...

Much appreciate the help! Getting dialed in, and your input has been very helpful, so thanks again (few picks from this AM). I have found a sweet spot the plants are happy with for now at 1.0 EC. Obviously the block volume is too big for the plant size right now, which is why I am being careful...

Yes and thanks for being verbose LOL. I prefer more words than not enough!!...I have been reading as much as I can and I have the Growlink system with sensors. Grow link also has a Crop steering guide that I tried to attach here if it works. I have run the crop steering automated program yet in...

Thanks Tripplefast!... I was thinking the same regarding lockout/def...and I am going to flush as you recommend. I had just put my well rooted 4x4 into the 4x8x8, so thats the reason for the size of the plant and the dry back. So I think I get it, and contrary to Jack's tech line... If ya dont...

Hey all...thanks so much for the great info and input...yes it would seem the first few weeks with RW are the most challenging and sets the stage for the rest of the grow. So I just transplanted 2 days ago from rooted 2.5x4x4 into 4x8x8 that I made from 8x8's. You can see the deficiencies, tip...

not generally...weeks 4-6 I try to steer more vegetative for flower production...So I will raise the temp and RH a bit and lower the EC if needed a bit as the plant takes up more nutes with the higher RH

Hey...just seeing your post and wondering if you figured it out yet? I know its late...but I'm running RW and Jacks as well. I have some issues will EC, PH, lock out...etc. I am pretty sure that Jacks being a salt will build up at the bottom of your block as they wont really get flushed through...

Thanks for the help....The 5-6 days is the very first dry back after transplant...I have noticed the same with EC spikes after dry backs....so I went in a little light on the EC when prepping block for the 4x4 insert...and then plan to flush when I'm not so paranoid of drowning the roots like I...

Oh...I baled on the coco run because my teens are in 4"rw and figured that would be bad transplanting cubes into coco. My thought process was that the cube would stay wet and potentially rot the stalk while the coco dries back quicker than the block. So thats why I am using up my 8x8's cut in...

thanks for the tip with the draining and I will use it... I stood my 4x8x8's on end and let them drain some after soak and nute prep... Do you think I am on the right track with a first really good dryback after transplanting? Test plant (2.5x4x4 flush inserted into 4x8x8) took 5-6 days to...

I am using Grow link with 4 sensors...first run growlink and first run with RW. Had some challenges but mostly because of learning the RW fundamentals, not Growlink. I do like Growlink so far and has been reliable...make sure you have good wifi strength. All can be controlled, monitored...

Hey thanks Rocket...didnt know below 5.5 could do that, so I will adjust. I will use the 6x6's next for sure, as they seem to be just the right substrate volume for 9 per ight with auto drip. I made some fundamental mistakes early on in my first run which I chased the whole time. Short version...
