Hey guys currently on week two going on three with my oldest and due to a weird I believe genetic issue (bag seed) my other plant is a week behind but using the same reservoir. Currently using
2mlflora micro
3 grow
2 bloom
4 vegan blend
2ml floracius plus
All measurements are ml/gl

Plant A is the oldest and completely loving life. Growing almost a complete node every two days she's running on schedule however plant B had a issue with the rock wool drying out while I was at work and she seems to be stunted. I would just toss because it's just a bagseed but due to my reservoir already on week two going on three of nutrients I'm afraid a seedling wouldn't survive.
Instead of having roots growing down into the Rez plant B just wants to grow multiple small roots directly under the Rockwool. Moved the dripper farther yesterday so I have high hopes.

Will continue to update and questions or answers and concerns s are welcome.

Alright so I have a question or two..

My scheduled Rez change into week 3 is in two days but I'm worried it will kill the little one who's roots are barely under the Rockwool and still in the net pot. Should I just change it ?

Second is I read something about running straight non nuted water in the Rez for a day after a nutrient change? Would that be a good time to run FloraClean? Pics are of both plants and the roots for plant A1440396910623635522996.jpg 14403970064981876079117.jpg 1440397050270481463974.jpg

Week 3 : changed reservoir to
3ml micro
4 grow
2 bloom
3 florablend

Topped plant A and 4 new leaf's are already forming after just 9 hours!
Plant B surprisingly seems to be enjoying the new nutrients because she perked up and started growing a little faster!

Found a year old nebulizer I had used like three times and decided why not use it as a air pump? This thing throws tons of air but I fear it may overheat due to it not being made for constant use. Today I'll be running it non stop for 24 hours since it's my day off.

Started two plants in this potting soil called garden magic.

Yes they are yellow but growing rapidly. I have been told the floralicous plus enhancer I'm using can color them yellow, gave them a good clean rinsing this Rez change and didn't add any of it. Roots are allot whiter but still a little tinted, Strangely she started growing 6 new nodes in total after just a topping, top growth seems to have slowed a bit after the nutrient change, I believe due to her working on roots.

Plant B has 3 nodes now but still only a inch tall lol?

So tomorrow makes week 3 but want to update so oh well. Been lsting very hard because all the nodes were in the middle scrunched up together. Only topped once and 4 new branches formed making a total of 6 nodes, plants coming along really nice as I can tell? Worrying because for a 3 week old she seems small. Temps usually rest at 79-84 but the falls hitting hard making temps drop. Got two small squirrel fans blowing on both plants. Plant B is decently growing now that she has roots in the Rez. Thinking about flipping her after her 4 week mark. She's a bagseed so I don't want she to be a he lol 14410851848072777782.jpg

So internet company installing new lines so been out of internet for a little. Plants are on week two of flip. Plant b has what looks like balls but the main bud seems to have pistils. Plant A is looking amazing but her node spacing is looking stretchy. Still running the mh. Buds are decently forming.

I strongly advice you to use some h202 and clean your bucket at least 1 time by week you roots don't look good, in dwc to have a big grow and harvest you roots must be health

I scrub my bucket every rez change with dawn then hot water. The root coloring was from the enhancer my roots after stopping the enhancer have whitened to a nice shiny white with no gooey residue or anything
