First grow RDWC (2 blue gelato & 1 phantom og)

Post by darrenking241 »

So I finally decided to put a diary up, I’m growing 2 blue gelato and 1 phantom OG (would of had 4 plants in my system but 1 died) they’ve been in my system for 4 weeks gone Friday and seem to be doing ok. I started my plants off in 1 inch rockwool cubes and then moved them into 3 inch cubes using only water at this stage to feed and then placed them in my heated propagator under my t5 light, everything was going good until I lost one... oops. a week passed and the other 3 plants were doing fine another 2 weeks later I had roots emerging from the bottom of my rockwool on the 2 blue gelatos so I fired up the rdwc system and put the plants into their new home in my 1.2m tent under 400 watt hps . The roots took about a week to hit the solution underneath them and started to take off from then on I topped the plants at the fifth node to encourage them to bush out so I could try some lst and supercropping it started off bad I snapped nearly every branch I tried to manipulate.

I left the plants for a week to recover from my assault and they seemed to be doing well until I noticed holes in my leaves, so i took to the forum to ask for help and decided on using a bit neem oil on my plants( boy does it stink ) anyway I found out I had a little nitrogen toxicity after my leaves were dark green so backed down the ec to 0.7 from 1.1 (a bit high I now know) as the days went on I was implementing more lst to open the plant up in my quest for an even canopy and I’m still practicing lst today so this is where I am today plants are 7 weeks old I’m using Sensi Grow a+b and Hydroguard and have dropped the voodoo juice and b52 for the time being

I’ve started to insulate my system too all I need to do now is make some reflective jackets for the buckets to keep the res temps down( currently saving for a chiller).

Sounds good. But progress looks kinda slow tbh with you mate. What about RH?

Rh is pretty dry at around 30% I haven’t got around to buying a humidifier yet but will for the next run, I thought they weren’t growing very fast it could be res temps there sitting at around 20 degrees

20c is good temp for root development, it's also good for root rot. That's the only concern.

Is it possible to reduce your extraction to increase RH?

I’m using Hydroguard to limit the chance of root rot it’s supposed to be good stuff.

Shit, sorry. I wasnt warning you, it was more just a passing comment lol

Hydroguard is meant to be good stuff, I'm sure you'll be right as rain soon
