Good morning Merc!
She's looking totally different from last week, showing colors in some places,,,losing it in others.
As far as the DWC, it seems I have mixed emotions about it...a learning experience for sure! It truly pushes the limit on what I thought was accelerated growth. But at the same time, i now realize that it requires MORE attention.
I guess there is the option of just letting it do what it would do, but I feel that would have probably turned into a three foot block of mold.
I had trouble keeping up with trimming! !!! Also, humidity is more difficult to control. So, it took a little to get dialed in on VPD with my current set up.
It is very nice to be able to see immediate results when you change something. So, as far as the overall , it was simpler. No guess work about what was going into the plant, checking ph was very easy. Which is an eye opener to solving issues in my soil grows. More study on that to come...
I would recommend everyone do a DWC trial. I learned more with this one plant than I have in a very long time! I will try it again at some point, Maybe on some autos... not sure.
I am planning a living soil grow next, I have been prepping it in the background, and is almost ready for launch. I am going to be using 15 gallon fabric pots and a Blumat watering system. I was able to obtain some seed from Eighth Brother, so I must hold up my end of the deal and fully document the grow, so I will probably start a diary thread.
Looks like your off to a good start Merc! I've always wanted to try some of the banana genetics!
