Starting my first journal so starting from scrath. Hoping to learn something from fellow growers 
I'have been growing in soil for 4 harvest, using organic products. Then i felt i wanted to try something different, something new. I lost my hydro virginity to this wilma drip system, and im pretty lost with it but plants are still alive
. It got one big tank 85L and one water pump connected to the drippers. I also have one 70cm airpipe with air inputs in both ends in my tank. Im using 400W HPS for veg and 600W for flowering if we get that far. Here is my setup.
I had few problems at start. I germinated seeds and let them grow for about week and transferred them in wilma in rockwool cubes.
In instructions it says to time the pump 2 times a day (15min feed) And when time went past it stunned most of them very bad. with only small rockwool cubes and clays it doesnt hold water very long specilly with 400W hps. When i notised this some of damage had been done but i increased the feed to 15min every 4 hours when lights are on. And they took off, but you see it in some plants but they are recovering. 3 seedling dried in that period ( from 8 in total) so thats why some plants are bit older than others. It it is also making problems cause i have only one water tank for all of the plants of course.
I topped 2 of the biggest plants already hoping it so slow them a bit so others could catch them a bit.
Here is Liberty haze & biggest of bluedreams
I also raised lights a bit from light burning for the smallest ones..
Heres smaller ones
I have been thinking would it be better to let bigger ones to go and fill the tent with them only couse i would need to add my nutes in tank and it burns the smallest ones? Maybe i just see if they survive from that. Cause i could the cutting from the biggest ones cause i have rooting hormones also? from india with love
Im using FloraDuo nutes by GHE. all nutes are ml/10L
Been given it by chart. 5ml bloom 5ml grow. But i thing soon i need to start full veg nutes for the biggest ones? 15ml grow and 5ml bloom
EC meter is on its way so i dont have it already. My PHs have been 5.7-6.2. When i washed my clays i used tap water which is approx 7.4 in here so in the start it raised it pretty fast but now it is been more stable. 5.7-6.0
Would love to have all advises you growers have. Im very unconftable with this system specially now because bad start it most awful thing!
