First Dwc grow

Here is my first Dwc grow 2 5gal dwc buckets. Strain glueberry muffin. Light- 1000w De hps/ mh. Nutes AN PH perfect 3 part micro, grow, bloom. Seedlings just broke thru the cubes and are on their way. Roots showing below net pots dropped the water level 1 inch below net pots pH 5.6 ppm 287 EC .5 I will be doing a Rez change soon. Feel free to chime in! Will update soon.

Good luck mate I’ve heard some great things about the blueberry muffin u should get some fire.

Thanks man! I'm looking forward to learning the craft of hydroponics. I will be updating as I go.

Awesome mate, best of luck, I love hrydro grows.

Thanks.

Sounds good, you are probably wasting electricity running 1000 watts on that little baby.

You could buy a $20 high wat CFL and that would be more than enough for her for the first couple weeks atleast

Update.... Roots are well established and she is taking off quick.. my rez temps have gotten some what higher than I prefer so I used the old water bottle trick and worked just fine. Also I dropped the water level about an inch under the net pots previously she's taking 500ppms like a champ. Temps holding 62-65F. Also I am still top feeding atm daily. Feel free to chime in.

using a 1000w for a seedling is a waste of leccy and money, even dimmed down...the plant is going to stretch

good luck

update.

Looks great!!

Genetic mutation???...

Update, done some topping since last post the light brown coloring on the roots is from the roots excelurator.

They grow so quick in dwc, I always get root rot.

Yeah, hopefully not I just try to watch my temps ECT, I do regular rez changes lately I've just been topping up the rez and adding nutes. Nothing to special just keeping my ppms up and using my base nutes. I noticed that root color after I added the roots Excel so I went ahead and changed the rez, added back the base nutes plants seems to be doing fine..

No hydroguard? Uc root? Chlorine? Bleach? H202? Lol
They do grow so fast in dwc.
Looks really healthy!

None... Lmao I do have peroxide but I'm using the AN Ph perfect line.. base nutes as my buffer it's working good. waiting for a new pH pen I'm currently only using AN pH perfect nutes no additives or H202, watching my Ppm/ EC and water levels closely..

Bleach and UC Roots and Chlorine are all chlorine supplements.

You have Bleach(sodium hypochlorite) and Pool Shock (calcium hypochlorite) or UC Roots (hypochlorous acid). UC Roots is the only one I consider snake oil. Cheers!
