Hello Brothers and Sistas,
SO i am currently on my first hydro grow using 5 gal buckets, lots of air, flora 3 part, and a healthy amount of h2o2 after an early run in with pythium that i have managed to keep down (even though after my pump once sopped for 4 hours it was quickly back so I know it's just waiting). Anyway, that's just to describe the general setup. THe pythium situation did cause me to have to cut quite some roots, of which some have grown back but dont have a massive ball under there the way I wish I would have that never occurred. My question is does she look ready to flower or should I keep vegging here the way I would if it was in dirt. I guess what I'm asking is whether there is major differences in the stretch , amount of growth once into flowering in dwc than what I had in soil. Currently, under a "600 watt" (equivalent) 175-watt actual draw full spectrum LED but have a "1000 watt" (243 at the wall) line for flowering I will switch to. I just want to maximize potency on the outcome so I think in the past I may have grown my plants too big and then not had the light to support it so I'm just checking in to see if anyone has any advice. Just to summarize... Should I flower now, or wait another 1-2 weeks so that more roots can regrow and plant fills entire 2 by 2 "tent".
Side note/ Other idea: I'm also thinking of switching from using the h2o2 sterilize res to using hydro guard + cannazym and giving the roots a dose of voodoo juice and made that wy ai can get another boost to the root before sending into flowering but I am so afraid the pythium will come back that I'm hesitant.
