RQS Cookies Gelato: Deep Water Culture Hydroponic Indoor Tent Grow

[BirdieNumNum]

So far, after a couple of days, 2 of 5 seeds have sprouted into their Rootit sponges.

Intention is to end up with 2 plants taken to harvest after they have been Mainlined to 8 growing tips/colas.

Photos and more detail to follow but these will be grown in same similar set up to my other current grow, which is 4 to 6 weeks ahead of this one.

4 out of 5 popped.
Now sitting under a 95w Quantum Board on a 6 on 2 off light cycle.

Temporarily in with another grow of mine that are in full veg. This lot will be relocated within a week.

All 4 are growing well.

So I have done the first mainline on each, we have a wide variety of sizes but all doing OK.

I have another grow just entering flowering in my main tent so there is no room for these plants in that tent for 7 to 8 weeks so I am in hurry with these but obviously want to keep them compact and healthy with an option to veg them a couple of weeks once in the main tent.

My Ph and EC meter is playing up and I CBA to remove a meter from my main grow, but fairly sure I am in the right ball park for another week.

The environment is less than ideal because of space issues (open tent, intermittent use of fans, humidity and temp varying a bit etc)

Still largely treading water with this lot as my flowering tent is not going to be free for at least 4 more weeks.

Trying a bit more training but as you can see we are almost at 8 stems per plant although the size difference between them is considerable for plants grown from the same seed strain bought at the same time from a single supplier.

Looks like a bit of calcium deficiency on one plant and I still haven't got round to checking the Ph and EC of the rez water with a reliable meter (as they are both in another tent and I CBA to move them whilst this lot are growing OK)

I am possibly going to try supplement with CO2 using a controller and bottled gas in a few weeks.
