can you grow carrots in DWC system? crazy

Bella, where ya at?

Sorry.. lol Stresssss in my life right now, I've been reading the posts, just haven't found the time to post yet.

I have NO idea if you could grow a carrot in a dwc. Worth a shot eh?

Before I let my cat eat my cucumber plant.. it was a few days. I just went back in and the leaves at the top are growing like crazy!!!

I dunno what I'm gonna do with this thing. Let it keep growing, or chop er' down and try a carrot? lol

Opinions?

Can we see some pics ??

dont kill it if its hanging on! is there any cukes there?

Day 70

Here are the pics!!

I think I'm going to keep it going. I found at least 4 female flowers on my plant. 2 of them I just pollinated. The other 2-3 have yet to open.

I'm planning on flushing out the reservoir today. Fresh new water for my baby may help. I'm also going to add just a super small amount of the basic fertilizer I have, and I'll try some molasses.

The plant is so tall now, I cannot lift my overhead light any higher I'll have really train her now. Ohhh I never knew how much fun a simple cucumber could be ... lol
(Get your minds outta the gutter people.. )

That things doing awesome!

Those cukes look they are comin along, hopefully the weight of the cukes can be supported

I agree the cukes are looking awesome I would def keep it alive

Day 74

Well things seem to be going good . I flushed my reservoir the other day, and like I said put a bit of fertilizer and molasses in it. I made sure to mix the molasses in boiling hot water so it wouldn't clog up my air tubes... so far, so good. You'll see in the root shot that the water is now discoloured (obviously due to the molasses).

The roots are feeling a bit slimy. I believe it's due to the molasses. (You know when you leave molasses mixed with water sitting too long it gets kinda funky? Think that's exactly what is happening in my reservoir. )

I will now have to clean out my reservoir much more often. I'm hoping for every 2 weeks.. but it may end up needing every week. We'll just have to wait and see.

I may also pick up some Peroxide just to help protect my roots.



The green colour in my leaves is coming back
