I don't think it's mites.

Went ahead and ordered the calmag..You've got a lot more experience with type of a grow than me and know what to look for.. No since asking for advice if Im not gonna listen..lol.. Once again thanks.

Yeah and remember until the issue is resolved keep your ph on or below 5.8 for optimum calcium absorption.

Hey VO,

Looks as though you were right. Got my ppm meter today and after a test it barely showed on the meter.

Just thought I would show VO the result of his advice..Thanks man, she really perked up.

i started my first dwc also,it seems were running neck&neck.mine are starting on their 4th set of leaves.i changed my rez water&replaced nutes.my ppm200 ph6.2 .im using flora mass&some dry nutes.but things have slowed some,they"re still growing but alittle less,so im like you any good advice would help

Hi Proffesor,
So far things have went better than I expected with this grow..Right now I am around week 6 of what is supposed to be a 8 to 10 week grow. I had had a couple set backs but after getting some really good advice things are appear to running the way they should. My plants perked back up and has eally taken off the last few days.

Btw, what strain are you growing?

Well I got one problem fixed and another developes..lol.. I've got about 2 weeks or less left before harvest and now my baby has got a white froth around her roots. Since this is my first hydro grow I guess I could chalk this one up to lack of experience. I saw signs of it 2 days ago but didnt think it would spread so damn fast. After a flush and cleaning I added aquashield in hopes of keeping this thing in check..

Poor girl doesnt look unhealthy but I know its gotta be taken its toll on her. Will post some updated pics later.

Here are some updated pic. She is actiually doing better than I expected, especially for my first hydro grow.

how far along is she dalamar?

She's about 8 weeks now. Only suppose to be an 8 to 10 week grow but I think it will be more like 11 or 12 weeks.

Here is a pic right after harvest and one of what has cured out so far. .

Wow you are lucky to get this far without a ppm meter, both ppm and ph meters are a **MUST** in DWC.

I used a ph meter from the start but didnt pick up my ppm meter until almost half way through my grow. I agree that both meters are a must.

Once I got my ppm meter and was better able to tell more about her nute/water intake it made a big difference in her.

Well after a proper curing I ended up with 22.4 gr of dried product off of a 16.5" plant. The smoke is smooth and it puts off a fruity smell. Buds are a little fluffy but I think that is due to poorr lighting and a nute problem later in the final stage.

As far as the buzz goes, it is a really mellow high (great for my anxiety and back pain) and kinda just lays you back nice and easy like.

Some sativas have a natural fluff to them.
