Yo I have been on it like that for my first 4 months of "thumbing around" ever. This thread is the way I'm going.
I kick this mentality over to my DWC s buckets being I feed them some compost tea. And in return I see the best roots any sterile environment ever could. No lithium slime or smell but the miniscus of where my roots sit have pieces of buffalo shit on them. Since I add compost tea that is... But the top are all white as teeth, new shoots forming fast, and it just smells like my compost tea brew for a week until i clean it.
I keep the water no closer the 2 inches (or two index nuckles)
And these (two dwc) plants are going Fcking crazy!
I've tied h202, didnt work cuz I Prolly fckd up the no amounts per gal.
I was recommend SM-90 by someone in the hydro store and shit smelled great but it gave the bucket root rot like he'll within a week. Leading me to bielve he just uses it as a foliar spray cuz we were talking about gnasts mostly. But I was kinda baked. Lol
So after getting amped up after my first 2 week growing I decided to transplant all but 1 (the biggest plant ) to hyro buckets going hydro within my first 2 weeks my story kicks off! Haha
