Hey Gang, Growing outdoor for the first time and had to move my plant indoors about 4 weeks into an 8 week flower due to weather. Plant was in a felt pot, but some Roots pushed through the bottom into the ground and were Severed when I moved her. She seems to be doing fine, but needs to be...

Hey there! Thanks for the info. I just meant showing signs of transition from veg to flower (she is fem as well). Not a hair in sight. From your post is sounds like she’s likely close. Also beautiful girls you got there! Thanks again!

Thanks for the info! Super helpful. I’m not seeing any sign of flower quite yet. Do you grow Indica or sativa dominant strains? Typically all native plants are a little behind on the lakeshore, but that is due mainly to how Lake Michigan regulates the climate (cooler springs/warmer falls). Not...

Hey Gang, Tried cloning for the first time and am now growing outside for the first time. Already holding a solid harvest from her mother, so just kind of seeing how it goes and letting her do her thing. So far it’s going really well, some minor issues with wind (she’s super exposed but has an...

Hey Gang, Wondering how long to run a UVB. I’ve been running a California light systems UVB for 2 hours a day 24” above the canopy for the last 9 days. Hard to tell if it’s doing anything. I can’t find much direction online. I am 1 or 2 weeks away from harvest and considering adding another...

Wanted to give a quick update: Finally feeling like we are 100% out of the woods. Thank you all again for your help! Based on the trichome color I think think I will be harvesting in a week or two.

Hey Gang! Quick question about nutrient uptake in DWC: Does anyone know if plants consume the nutrient solution as a whole, or are some nutrients consumed faster than others. For example, if a plant consumes a gallon of water, would it also consume 100% of the total dissolved solids in that...

That’s really interesting.

Ahh got it. My system has a float valve connected to a separate RO water tank that keeps it constantly topped off. As such increased water consumption shouldn’t increase the ec as the additional water consumption driven by the evaporation would be immediately replaced with RO water.

are you saying the plant would expel salts back into the nutrient solution?

Thanks everyone, roots smell great and look healthy so I’m going to assume the weird rise In ppm was due to a heavy solution. Attached is a photo of the dying leaves in various stages. This morning i flushed added cal mag and ph’d the solution (about 200 ppm) Planning to leave it here for a day...

ph remained stable between 5.8 and 6. No additional salts were added but ppm still rose.

Just figured out how to reply to comments. I don’t want to distract from my most recent question below, but I just realized something about this. I have a float valve in the res that automatically opens and releases plain RO water into the solution so the water level remains constant. So I’m...

Planning to do a full flush tomorrow of ph’d RO water and then taking it easy on the nutes for a bit. After quickly reading about phosphorous. Do you think this might actually be an excess of phosphorous? She was showing signs of what looked like a mag deficiency in the middle and upper canopy...

That makes sense. I assumed plants consumed the the solution as a whole (both water and nutes equally) I was not aware one could be absorbed faster than the other. Good to know! I will look into the phosphorus. I am using botanicare’s “kind” nutrient system and will add a little more of the...

Hi everyone, First time posting, so thank you in advance. I am on my second DWC grow and can’t figure out why the ppm of my nutrient solution is rising. Below is a summary of conditions: - 2nd week of flower (after estimated 2 weeks of pre flower, 4 weeks after lights were flipped to 12/12)...
