Thanks for the bucket link. I fixed a solution of well water calmaged out to 200 then I put 1/4 teaspoon of the trio for a total of 268 ppm. I just put a 300 in there but minus the grow. I'll put this 267 in a bucket for the night. No I don't have a filter everything's natural spring fed.
It likes 5.8. I've tried 5.5 to 6.5 and 5.8 seems to be the best.nice grow, Im not a member of a tub growbut @Lilolme got you covered. The only thing i can ad is to bring your ph to 5.5
Stability is key for hydro. here is a chart i follow to ensure stability of rez

Here is a chart to showcase at what ph the plants takes what type of nutrients

Haha you may find your water to be the envy of many people I too have gravity fed spring water and its fantastic
Last week I threw frozen meats in the bucket to cool the water down. I bought a swamp cooler water cooler but I thought it hilarious I was throwing hotdogs in my bucket. Told myself if it doesn't flower maybe it'll sprout hotdogs, either way win, win.
What do you think? Luane cut to tub size, water proofed and maybe weather stripping or foam/rubber as a light seal.
Well ya see, the shit and piss is actually filtered into the tub, and there are fish in the sink. . one big loop AQUAPOONICS
Hahaha
Part of why I like the tub is I can set everything up and tear it back down when I’m done and after the smell goes away you would never know I was growin in there, keeps the wifey happy knowin I’m not destroyin a room in the house. Zero mechanical fastners, no holes in anything, nothing to indicate a grow. Worked my ass off to create a grow I can set up and take down in 10 minutes. I kept a fire ready to start in the woodstove at all times should I need to eliminate any herbal evidence in a hurry. Then they make growin legal here kinda took some of the fun out of it
The speed at which they grow usin DWC is phenomenal you can almost see em growin
I watched it this morning. It's not going to veg 3 more weeks. I'll be lucky to get middle of next week, V's are opening some are almost down.
Your only 35 days into a journey thats gonna last about 125 days. I would be very surprised to see white pistils starting to emerge till at least halfway from what I have seen from other autos, completely ignore the seed sellers estimates of growin time thats based on an experienced grower under ideal conditions. Only time will tell, every plant is a little different, every grow/grower is different. Provide a happy home and watch dont worry bout the age or stage its gonna do its thing on its schedule. This is one of the reasons I prefer photoperiods over autos, they are more forgiving to mistakes and stress, they have time to recover, I can control how big I want them, and the well known larger, more potent yields. Ideally with autos you should germinate the seed, as soon as theres an inch of taproot put it straight into the pebble pot with a topfeed washing over the taproot till the roots reach the reservoir then the topfeed can be removed. Top the plant at the 5th node then don’t touch it again except to low stress train the branches to keep the top of the plant open and even, then just maintain the environment, and wait. Your next grow is gonna be vastly different from this one you may even want to try a soil grow to compare to the dwc, one of each side by side maybe. Then your gonna be eyeballin the size of the photos I have in mind for my next grow and be thinkin bout tryin that cause you can take cuttings and learn how to root them and get em goin. Next thing you know your gonna have plants growin in anything that will hold dirt. I stretched my first grow out for 3 years and only used 4 seeds in the beginning the rest were all clones. Just sayin
I should mention theres an order to mixin the nute solution, hydroguard first, then the cal/mag, then the veg nutes, then the flower nutes. Then adjust the ph. Dial the cal/mag back to 100 ppm and see what happens, less is more sometimes
Yeah that's how I mix them.
I hated those three jugs from general hydroponics as well as the advanced nutrients stuff I tried, I tried the General Hydroponics flora grow/bloom powdered nutes this time and I really like the results and a lot less mess
you should try mega crop two part. it's really small little powdery nuts with extra pk boost for flower time. you can play with ratios to have better veg stage and then change the ratio for flower and really bring that (P)(K) up.
