2 questions dwc 5 gal buckets blueberry auto fem

Question one- this plant is on day 16. About three days ago I was forced to remove the roots from this rockwool cube I’d sprouted it in, because I was getting classic signs of over watering or wicking, water logging from the rock wool. After transplanting, I buried the roots In clay pebbles washed and ph balanced filled up to the cotyledons and covered the top of the pebbles with something the stabilize the plant and keep light out of the roots. Do you have any advice to help me get it to pick up the vegetative growth because it’s suppose to flower after 7-8 weeks without being induced not leaving a ton of time to get it growing strong to do something low stress training or topping to maximize yield.


Question-

Is this cheap Chinese 600w philosun light (actual wattage output around 100
And two 45 w panels out actually around 20watts each. Are these too much for one blueberry autoflower femininized. The 45w on left is 22” away and the other two are 18”& 16” respectively. To much light????

You can forget that flowering timeline. If you read much on RIU autos start flowering anywhere from when they’re 2 weeks old all the way to 4 months. Top feed for now. Pour through a few times a day until sufficient roots hit the soup.

Thanks. solution barely bubbling into bottom of basket. so I should top feed my nutrients (may 1/4) suggested dosage in ph balanced water until I can see roots all the way through basket and establishEd in the bucket solution. I’m using fox farm trio but I also put a little calcium and mag to help with root and overall vitality. My ppm are at 427 and ph I’ve been keeping between 5.6 and 6.10. No more than a .5 ph flucitation. Water temp has been steady between 67-75. I’ve had to use cold water or ac a couple times because water temp was wanting to approach 80. Any other advice would really help

Around 70 water and air ( with plenty of vent to allow Co2 to be sufficient) is ok? And the op range of humidity should be around What percentage?

Current ppm with a Tds is 423
a ph is 5.94

Your net basket should not be in the solution. It should sit just above it with the roots being the only thing actually in it.

The roots aren’t quite thru the bottom, it’s one of the deeper net pots and I have the rockwool In there which tried to snuff out my root system altogether. the water line is just able touch the very bottom of the net pot. The roots will be extending down as the nutrients and bubbles of fresh oxygen are sending what the roots need to Grow and what they need to extend to where they can drop directly into the solution
