My Next Hydro Grow with Orange Creamsicle Free World Genetics

[Teslajuana]

Hey all, I am back after a little break from growing as I had more than enough from my last grow. This time I am starting off with one seedling.
4x2 tent.
The seedling is approx 1 week old.
PPM: 350
Temp: 72F
RH: 20%
PH: 6.2
Light:SF1000

For now I am using General Hydrophonics Nutes.
I will try to log as much as I can through out the grow.

She is a little bigger and is already looking like the trichomes are visible on this little tiny. Tap root is protruding a little from the bottom of rockwool cube but not showing at bottom of basket yet, she’s got a few more inches to reach the bubbly spa.

Looks nice, glad to see someone else here to “get along” with GH nutes. I’m running my second grow with it in a RDWC hydro with GH products sprinkled with other goodies.

I’m curious about your RH #s as they seem a little dry from what I’ve been told?
I wish in my 4x4 tent with 4 buckets to keep my RH @ 60 and a big dehumidifier

Looking good so far Teslajuana!

What type of bucket system are you using?

Thank you. I have a Recirculating Deep Water Culture system incorporating an 8 gallon reservoir with one air stone and a recirculating pump inside that is feeding water to the bottom of the 5 gallon bucket with a 1 inch rubber tube and a ball valve. In the 5 gallon bucket I have 2 air stones pumping air to the roots and I have 1 main water return just a few inches below the bottom of the basket and I have 2 backup returns if for some reason the main return gets clogged. I have it designed in case the circulating pump goes out that there will be water in the bucket to supply water and nutrients to the plant in case something goes wrong and should give me enough time to fix without and damage.

Oh man, great little setup with that back up plan in place too!!
Well Done!!
