Hi 2nd time grower dwc scrog

Day 25 since flip

Woo! How many babies am I looking at? What sort of nutrients are you running?

 

[RamCal369]

So this is just 1 baby. She really stretched during flower I had to Lst train her a lot to keep her in the tent. I am using the gh trio with cal mag and just added liquid kool bloom. She is a African landrace strain sativa.

Keep slamming your pics here, I'd love to see how she turns out. This is why I love DWC. I rocked Endless Sky on auto pilot using Plagron A&B and she pushed up against all four walls of my 4x4. Beast.

Been running coco for the last three runs, and it's a learning curve. Harder for me than hydro, but improving each time.

 

[RamCal369]

I will keep posting updates for sure. I am also very interested in coco been listening to Dr.Coco on growcast podcast and his website coco for cannabis is awesome.

Day 34

That's lookin' wet! What light(s) are you running?

 

[RamCal369]

Thanks man. I'm running a 1000watt bestva blurple light. I'd like to upgrade to a Mars hydro for next grow.

 

[MarsHydroLED]

right, it's time to go full-spectrum white LED

 

[RamCal369]

It’s been a few weeks since I posted last. This is my week 8 from flip plant. Trichomes looking nice milky with some Amber . Brought ec down last few days tomorrow will be the full final flush and total darkness the day after. I don’t think she is what I thought I was buying but looks kinda like a Indica dominant hybrid. But I’m no expert.

 

[RamCal369]

I’m happy with these results it’s 1 plant in a dwc 2x2. Will be upgrading next grow from lights to seed bank and recirculating dwc.

Rad. What sort of light are you going to jump into next? What didn't you like about DWC that you might find in an RDWC system?

 

[RamCal369]

Yes so I was thinking full spectrum mars hydro 1000w led for my 2x2 to give me a more even canopy I noticed the center colas are way nicer than the outer colas and the dwc is nice but once she starts to drink a lot I can’t plan to go anywhere or do anything because she drinks a lot of water and I’m constantly adjusting ec and ph so a RDWC 5gal reservoir +the tank the plant sits in which is a 5gal but only 2 gallons fit in it before root issues occur,should help resolve some of the constant maintenance that I have to do on a daily basis + added oxygen to the water

I hear you 100% on that DWC drinking a ton! That's why I switched over to coco, I've been getting pretty solid yield using about 40% of the water I was using when running DWC.

One thing I do notice though, and maybe it depends no how large of a reservoir you rock vs TDS of the nutrients to keep pH in check, but I find when I mix <5 gallons of RO/Silica/CalMag/Base nutrients to pH 5.8, I usually have to adjust the pH at least once more, if not twice more after the initial mixture is complete. For example: I mix up a batch on Monday afternoon to feed Monday night, pH to 5.8 and everything is peachy. Next morning I'll check the reservoir, and notice the pH may ride up to 6.0 or 6.1 pH, at which point I'll knock it back. Sometimes I have to knock it back a third time, but that's usually if my TDS is <1.5 EC. I'm usually mixing in a 20 gallon tote during full flower and find that these pH swings are greatly reduced.

What I'm trying to say is even a "set-it-and-forget-it" approach could still use some hands on monitoring from time to time. The longest I've gone without monitoring the pH in my top feed system is 2 days and there were no issues. However I love being in the garden, so daily check ups are typically the best part(s) of my day.
