So if you have read my previous threads, I have managed to kill 2 babies in my DWC. I thought I could iron it all out but apparently I didn't because I moved my clone to my DWC and it started to do what my second baby did which is get droopy and this time had some yellowing in the top center of my clone..
DWC setup:
5 gallon bucket
Temp: 65-73
Water: Distilled(ppm-0)
PH: 5.5-6
Nutrients: CalMag(ppm-100), Maxigro(ppm-150) 1 scoop
Other Adds: Hydroguard as instructed, Sensizym as instructed
1 Airstone
Rapid Rooter
Hydroton
3' net pot
So I think I may be drowning my plants but I am moving my seedling when I the roots are sticking out of the rapid rooter. My clone right now had strong roots and it was sticking out so I decided to move it to my DWC. With a lot of reading I decided to lower my water level and allow the airstone to splash water up but then read a little bit more and everyone said the water needs to be an inch from the bottom of the net pot. So which is it? I went ahead and filled the water back up again because my first baby did really well with the water right at the bottom of the net pot. I feel like it is still too much water for my set up. I just ordered a 6' pot thinking maybe it will help the water hit just the hydroton and lessen the possible over watering of the rapid rooter from the splashing. Please let me know if there is any error'ed points in my process. I'm getting ready to give up on DWC. Also my roots are not looking as healthy as when I first moved it. It's saddening and stressful. I'm in the process of popping 2 new seeds and will be using one in soil so that I can see some reward/return and the other I will attempt this roller coaster of emotions again. Thanks in advance.
