My first journal.
I have experience in nft, soil and coco but this is my first DWC grow.
I have 4 white russians in 20 litre(4 gal) black buckets with a 30 litres(6 gal) a minute/1800 litres(360 gal) an hour air pump pumping into a 150mm(6") air stone in each bucket.
The buckets are in a 1.2x1.2x2.0 (4'x4'x6'6") growtent.
The light is an LED giving 675 watts of light but consuming 380 watts. It uses 225 x 3 watt diodes with a 90 degree lens. The light is currently 80cm(31") above the plants.
The nutes are Vitalink Max supplemented by silicon, cal-mag, Rhizotonic, Cannazym and Superthrive. My current EC is @ 1.1 with pH @ 5.8.
The relative humidity is normally below 40% but is currently between 40-50%. Air temperature in the tent is between 25-32oC(77-89oF). My 125mm(5") extractor fan has arrived this morning and this should change the figures. The figures are quite high as we are getting loads of sun at the moment in England.
Water temperature in the buckets is 22oC(71oF).
I soaked 5 seeds and they all sprouted successfully. 4 came through together which are the 4 in the tent and the fifth came through a couple of days later and is in coco in the garden.
This is day 16 from seed.
This was the roots @ day 24 on plant no. 2.
Another root pic showing plant no. 3 @ day 24 alongside plant no. 4s roots.
This is the bath for the roots.
Roots @ day 29.
Day 37.
Day 41.
And this one will have you saying WTF!
It's seed number 5 which is a couple of days behind the 4 above and in coco in the garden.
