Hey guys that would be my first post ever in a forum, though that is my second grow.
Last time I got 3\3 females bag seeds when originally planned on just having 1. got 250w sunmaster dual in coco, almost killed them, tried almsot every technique possible, including horrible defoliation, pinching, scrog, a bad scrog and still ended with 140g dry bud. learnt a lot and after a couple of years now I felt the urge to go again and this time hydro.
So that's my current DWC setup:
(Will move into a grow tent w/ 400w soon!)
Grow space: Closet, 55*60*130
Light: Started with a used Sunmaster 250w Dual, now a 250MH.
Reservoirs: 2 x 4 gallons, 1 x 1 gallon
Number of plants: 6
Feminized: No
Air Pumps: 2 x 3.7w double outpoot (2 big air stones in each res.)
Air Circulation: Started with a 6" fan now changed to a big one.
Humidity: 50-60%
Room Temp: 25-27c
Water Source: Tap water (300-400μS)
Water Temp: 22c
PH: 5.8-6.2 (now stable)
EC: Started with ~1600 microsiemens (1000 PPM) now on 1200 micros \ 770 PPM
Nutes: ATATMI Root Stimulator (stopped), ATAMI Coco A+B, Sensi Cal Mag Xtra, ATAMI Universal Coco Booster (yet to be used), ATAMI Atazyme (just gave 1 dose), will add some more ATAMI flowering nutes when time comes.
Now I've dealt with a series of problems as ph fluctuation which caused leaves to look like they suffer from Calcium defficiency, or really it was that along with the ph, weak pumps, dying plant which resurected after moving to coco, maybe a root rot, EC level of over 1800μS and still my plants look OK
** I'm defoliationg any sick leaves and ive had many of these so far, as well i'm defoliating for better light access all the way from week 2-3 **
So here are the pics, enjoy and I'd be glad to get some more tips from virtually anybody as this is my first hydro grow, and it already feels more exciting and WAY HARDER
If you got here you can just skeep to the latest post as this is already old news, but i've tried putting in a little bit of how i treated the problems anyhow..
Week 2:
Had some major PH flactuations along with what seemed as a cal\mag deffiency as far as I've observed, one plant is thriving, the others not so much.
roots became brownish maybe as of nutes, used atami root stimulator at that point.
used h202 to eliminate root rot.
Week 3:
2 plants are looking good now, can tell those are indicas, h202 seemed to work well as new roots seemed better and more crisp, still cal\mag sort of looking leaves, little baby is dying..
I'm at week 5 moree pics next comment
