I wonder if I should move to the next week I’m currently using the seedling feed schedule where everything’s even. Obviously not those exact measurements in regards to amount but the difference in the Ratios on the seedling vs early growth stage. I’m no longer on the seedling stage anymore I don’t believe. @Or_Gro thoughts?

What i’m saying is to take it to 300ppm, at 140 currently, you’re at less than half of that.

Your chart says seedling is 350-400ppm, so a little more than my recco. Take it where you want, but take it up.

Hey @Or_Gro, how necessary is the southern ag for DWC?

I noticed the top of my airline inside the bucket, the part just above the water, is getting slimy

Like...should i get it tomorrow?

I use ppm drop to calculate feed bumps. How do you decide when to bump in your grow?

Shew god. Can’t be less appealing to my nose than cheese strains, but chemdogg was some rotten smelling shit.

Iceman I’m leaving out for Florida tomorrow when I get off work. 9 hour drive. (I’m a crazy son of a gun)

Have Memorial Day off. So I guess we will head back on Monday if you have time to catch me then. I have your cherry Garcia, purple sunset, and angry hulk. Few iceman strain seeds if you wanna pop them in the tent for a week or two then find some woods or a fence line somewhere and put them outside. Hang onto them for hard times. It doesn’t matter.

I’ll bring you a half o sample of a mixed bag of all my nugs to try aswell. Hope to see you soon man.

Super lucky my bucket sits 5.7-6.1 and never higher. Can’t wait to see the changes in three or four days. Gonna feed all my stuff and everything before I go. Have my timer set etc

Question about feeds. I really can’t make up 4 gallons of water at once for a “new” bucket or to feed or whatever.

You know how the label says per gallon. My bucket has 2 gallons of water now. It needs one gallon. But I need to feed all the water.

Do I make a concentrated one gallon? Like 3x strength, to compensate?

Or do I have fresh water and no PPM and just dump a cocktail in until I reach desired ppm?

Mix your gallon up to desired ppm, ph it, add it to your bucket, check ppm. You should be close to what your ppm was/is that you are running.

Saw your BH. Made a comeback, yea? You were worried lol. I had faith in you, even if you didn't.

Does my plant look ok?

You know what I just noticed something. Look towards the base of the roots. The top. Appears the tap root the fat one is just now beginning to grow down.... see? That really white larger one that’s only an inch or so long? Hmmmm.

So keep my nutrient ratios on with the seedlings category on my schedule?

Currently micro, grow, and bloom are all equal parts. You see what I’m saying?

The early growth drops the bloom ratio but bumps the micro and grow ratios.

I think you’re saying keep my ratios the same but add in another 50ppm-100ppm. Including the cal mag....

If that’s the case I mix the same solution but higher in ML per gallon to raise my ppm... or I guess adding in the calmag will probably
Do that. And then top off my reservoir?

So say my reservoirs at 140 id need a solution at 200-250ppm to average it out right?


To answer your questions. I have changed my water did that last weekend. Also, I am using hydroguard.

I’ve got about an inch between bottom of basket to my water.... they don’t smell and they don’t look very slimey I’ll see in a few minutes I’ll wash my hands and check but doesn’t really look that way.

I have no issues dumping my bucket and starting a fresh reservoir if that'd be the best plan of action.
I’d wait on the water swapout.

Take nutes plus calmag to 300ish ppm. (You could contact your nute company and ask what cal-mag dose you should make.)

Just use the seedling ratios for now.

In separate bucket, mix up 5-10 times the amounts you used per gallon when you recently swapped out water. Add some to your res, keeping track of how much liquid you added to bucket and the change in ppm. Use this to guage how much more you need to add to your bucket.

Shrink your water gap to 1/2”.

Im about to find out. See above post and you tell me.... honestly idk. The little stringer of long roots isn’t doing much.

The color is from a trio of microbes I’m using at a very low dose. I hope. It made the water the color of the roots. They don’t smell. But not pearly white I can’t make bullshit up...

Yea, the roots look funky. I've seen microbes put a brown slime on roots, but what's that black shit?

You better get that light leak fixed or you're going to have problems. 3-4 days in hydro is a long time, especially if you aren't there.

Contray to popular belief, I’m actually not as incompetent or stupid as it seems..... I just often second guess myself. Whatever.

Show you guys a hell of a lighting rig in the next 30 days. Had a good chat with tbone.


This light is fine for now for veg. Will prove it.

All the “large” seedlings were started same day as the BH. The front middle pot is blueberry seedling. The little rooter things are my auto strains.

The orange straw is Dutch passion auto ultimate x Moab’s Mephisto deez nugs.

The other one is Moab’s deez nugs x expert seeds gorilla glue auto.

If you’re not using hydtoguard, gff is pretty friggin necessary., or your roots will look like pic above...
