I have been looking at a lot of DWC journals and its brought up a few questions for me. Im running a 5 gallon DWC with General Hydroponic Flora Trio nutrients. I noticed what I believe was a magnesium deficiency start around day 5 and now on day 13 think I have a calcium deficiency. Ifvtaken mesures to try and correct them. Most recently I folial fed with so 1/4 strength cal mend. On my last water change I added 1 tsp each of Grow, Micro and Bloom. I also added 18 ml Advanced nutrients B-52, 2 tsp per gallon of dutch nutrients cal mend and 1/2 tsp per gallon NPK RAW microbes. A lot of journals iv seen that use GH nutes have there strenght at 7 tsp per gallon by week 3. The plants look pretty healthy to. Idk if its a typo or if im severly underfeeding my plant. Im akso wondering if my plants stunded because a lot of the plants iv seen are larger by week 3 then mine. My reservoir is also at 23 C which also conserns me as I know optimal is 19 C. Coukd this be effecting my growth rate. Im also having a humidity issue so I added a humidifier by my exhaust fan seems to just suck most of the humidity out leaving me at about 42% RH when I ideally want 60% RH. Temps are about 27 C day and 23 C night. Lights about 28 inch from the plant and its a 600w mars ts. I keep my ph between 5.8 and 6.4. I did however make the mistake of having my reservoir level half way up the net pot till about day 4 then lowered to just above the bottom. Not its about an inch from the bottom of the net pot. Any and all advice is appreciated. Im having a blast with my first grow but Im a bit of a perfectionists lol.
