Just started this grow about 3 weeks ago, seedling into hydro on 7/25. Classic GH drip system. Since this is my first experience with hydroponics (and my second all around grow) I was quickly sold by the "all-in-one" sort of package deal... nevertheless, the waterfarm has been doing great.

So far my experience has been dealing with washing the hydroton and getting a stable ph... I think I finally got it to settle down at around 6-6.1. Still checking at least twice a day. On top of that nobody warned me about algae build-up but maybe that's just common sense haha. I had to cover the hydroton with panda film and then add 1 and 1/2 tsp hydrogen peroxide to my res. Hopefully clears up all that. I'll update in a week...

GH Flora trio + CalMag/Mammoth. Been feeding with regular RO water/calmag/mammoth during seedling. I use a bedroom humidifier from Home Depot to control humidity, and a small walmart fan cools my 400W metal halide. Also, I modified my waterfarm by drilling extra holes for more roots to reach the medium faster. I also added a small airstone to the res and upgraded to a nicer pump... Eager to see how this plant grows and yields, hope you guys enjoy the show. Let me know along the way anything I can do better

Hit her with the nutrients man! Since you're in a soil-less medium, there are no nutrients available to your plant at all. She's living off the couple PPM that get by your RO filter and whatever's in the CalMag/Mammoth. Start with a very light feeding and work up as she gets bigger. Best of luck man!

Good advice thanks! I've continued this journal on the grasscity forum if you'd like to follow along "White Widow GH waterfarm"
