Awesome info herk! Much appreciated, itl take some time to get comfortable with the ppm meter.

I used cal mag once for this plant. I only have the earth juice organic line of cal mag at the moment. Was gonna pick up some GH brand cal mad to work with the same line.

Also recently noticing the longer roots that are in the water ate getting a brownish color to them, not sure if its early root rot or normal (the nutrient water is brown after mixing)

I added some Big time enzyme . And big time roots which is for that application. Il post those root pics when I'm home.

Didn't know about that order for the flora trio. Interesting. Great to know

I'm loving it though, the fact I grew a plant without soil is pretty badass!
I wouldn't Tripp too hard unless it gets slimy I've not ran into root problems & ive had some pretty high temps I'm just trying to steer you clear of my booboo's & you're gonna pick up things as you go there is nothing wrong with the earth juice cal- mag just give her some every res. Change this should evolve into something you really dig I do hydro because I'm not sharp enough to get the most out of soil

I've been ordering through Seedsupreme. Il have to check out attitudes HSO. It gets pricey depending on the quantity. My 5 seeds from seedsupreme was $60

The first 4 BD's are curing nicely, super frosty :)

the strains from them have different prices but a $23.00 3-pack would do for me & I would try a couple strains next grow will be clones from rcp in sac but some of the hso strains are hard to find in clone form

looks like you're off to a good start ppm. about 700'ish?
Yep! You got it bro. Its sayn 700 on the meter. I'm digging the meter stick, its pretty weird comes ready to use, no calibration necessary lol


Just ordered a second 200w GoGreen LED today!

No more HID next week :)

PG&E's been like $270 a month :(

yeah I hate to say it but it really is all about efficiency the dwc combined with the led I think once dialed in is the answer I think you're on the right path you can run 700-750 ppm. for now without any problems I think once you get her centered under a good light growth is gonna accelerate then high 800-low9's you're gonna like this once dialed in

I just opened my pg&e bill $83.43 electricity & $15.56 gas. I heat with wood even though we have cen. heat & air I'm running 340 w.led 104 w.of t-5s for the clones & the small growroom elec. heater which is on a timer to run opposite of the light summertime running ac.my bill is close to double I have 3 small fans I run too this leaves me room to fire up a tent & another light like the one I'm using now that's why I'm pushing the dwc & the high yield it's simple economics which any way you look at it equals dollar spent per ounce created I guesstimate I'm spending just under $40..00 a month in power

got the 2 plant setup in & the scrog trial fitted growing blue dream -x- star dream it's called double dream your dwc should starting to show bud nubbins?View attachment 3859940
Looks great are they both double dream? Ya she's starting to. Its a more Indica dominant and takes FOREVER to grow (all stages) that dwc is my healthiest plant compared to all the soil. More buckets and lights in the near future

I'm still learning the buckets but my main issue is veg time,& canopy control but I'm gonna keep playing around till I get the result I want those are both double dream but now the main thing is to wish you & yours a merry Christmas
