Hi,
I just planted my germinated seeds into the rock wool and they are sitting in a ziploc bag until I transfer them to the dwc bucket.
I have a 5 gal bucket system, general hydroponics trio, ph kit and all that, and my light set and ready to go.
Any tips or things I should be aware of for the first few weeks of my seedling? I’ve only ever grown one soil grow before this. Any insight is appreciated
thanks!
Great tips thank you!! how long do the roots have to be sticking out of the rock wool cube before I know I can put them into the bucket?
Wait till there are 2 or 3 then go for it
I don’t have anything like Great White yet. Is that a good one to buy?Yeah don’t worry lol I know what your taking about ive done DWC but you didn’t answer the question are you doing sterile or live organisms? Trust me the last thing you want is root rot @Aqua Man can speak for that as well lol
Like unsaid it depends on how your gonna do the grow of your gonna do sterile than beneficial fungi isnt needed because your running sterile but, if doing live than you 100% want “”benes aka beneficial bacteria personally I would suggest hydroguard if going that route. And this is very important because factors of a sterile to live grow change environment because well clean explaining sterile your cleaning stuff all the time on rez changes and live well it’s more chill lolI don’t have anything like Great White yet.

I honestly hadn’t realized that I need to choose live or sterile...I was planning on just using my nutes and seeing how that goes. So a live grow wouldn’t require a res change?Like unsaid it depends on how your gonna do the grow of your gonna do sterile than beneficial fungi isnt needed because your running sterile but, if doing live than you 100% want “”benes aka beneficial bacteria personally I would suggest hydroguard if going that route.

Oh no they both require changes just if your not going sterile, than make sure you have beneficial bacteria “”benes in your nutes and top off water to help fight pathogens. It will save a lot of later question on “why do my roots look black?” Trust meI honestly hadn’t realized that I need to choose live or sterile...I was planning on just using my nutes and seeing how that goes.

+1 on the hydrogaurd especially if your starting out and don't have a chiller. Imo keep it simple for first go around with dwc as it can get crazy in terms of equipment, nutes, and setup ( so many ways to do it).Like unsaid it depends on how your gonna do the grow of your gonna do sterile than beneficial fungi isnt needed because your running sterile but, if doing live than you 100% want “”benes aka beneficial bacteria personally I would suggest hydroguard if going that route.

Yeah I don’t have a chiller so I will definitely check out hydro guard. Thank you all for the help!+1 on the hydrogaurd especially if your starting out and don't have a chiller.

Just chopped her down yesterday. Had an extremely experimental grow. I never changed her water once in the 14 weeks I had her in the bucket. I used hydroguard every week. She is a hardy plant for sure. She seemed fine with it all until the last week but that’s because I stopped giving her any food two weeks ago and always underfed her when I did feed her because I figured it would build up inside the bucket. Excited to see what her dry weight is.Always make sure your water level is appropriate and make sure you have plenty of oxygen in the water. Keep temp at 70-75. Ph 5.8- 6.4 is my sweet spot range. Is you see your leaves drooping somethings up. Must change what caused the drooping as hydro can go south very quickly
