Dontcough's First Hydro Grow (2 Plant Closet DWC) White Widow & Critical + Automatic

It's great that you have these two seeds as well we both ordered from worldwide last month I see. Lol I am actually a couple days ahead as I only started counting after they were standing on their own. I maybe even closer than that but I can compare my two unknowns to yours later when they get a bit bigger. I am pretty sure that the two unknowns are actually these two strains. Once we both have buds I'll be curious to see what they look like although if it is the white widow I will be force flowering after week 5. I will only know after the rest start flowering as all the rest are true autoflowers.

Subbed. How is that homemade CO2 thing working out for you? How did you make it? How long does it last you?

Yup, you called it, I ordered from Worldwide. We'll definitely be able to learn from each other. If your a little ahead that works even better so you can try things first and if it's wrong I won't make the same mistake bwahahaha

Seems like it's doing good, I don't have a CO2 meter or anything so I can't say the ppm, but it seems adequate. I read they last about 2 weeks and then have diminishing returns so I'll be swapping out the ingredients every 2.5 weeks or so. It definitely is enough to the point where I don't want to spend too much time in the closet as I'm probably killing brains cells. I've read other grow journals that had yellowish leaves, they added a CO2 gen and the leaves turned into a healthy green. Here's the link, it's two separate videos. I used a drill to make the holes in the caps which made it a nice airtight snug fit.

Visited the local hydroponic shop today, got some great advice and decided to start nutes again. I'm using about 1/8 strength this time around and will be closely monitoring for any signs of stress. So far so good, they were looking a bit rough last night. The guy at the shop was nice enough to give me some free General Hydroponics Rapid Start Root enhancer so I added that to the mix, checked pH. He looked up my Powergrower and informed me that it's just a drip based system doesn't really add the bubble element to the mix so I went ahead and bought a two channel air pump with two air stones ($15), modified the Powergrowers a little bit, and added it to the system. Apparently the water where I'm at is rough so I'll be looking at some distilled water very soon.

you really should bury them a little deeper. that soil showing will grow nasty algea and kill your plant. cover it.

Will do immediately. Thanks for the heads up!

Bought a digital pH meter, this thing sure makes things quite a bit easier. ($70)
