I’ll be purchasing a RO system for my faucet and HPS light. Hopefully they’ll come back from all the shock I put them through.
My DWC is growing slow

Yeah man I just read the entire thread. I’m no use when it comes to lights. Not even going to pretend to label any knowledge. LolYup! Package said GG4 autoflower

great work man. They look healthy and green to me! But of course slow growth rings concerns!.
Kind of why I’m reluctant to try Hydro just yet, with the random moves oncE a yearand with my long traveling out of town for work. Nowhere for me to set up anything automated, and unfortunately I’m the one with the green thumb. I don’t trust myself mixing nutrients etc. LOL even with my current grow I just throw the solution in water say heck with it that looks right and water LOL soil of coursw

I dont know all these products
I would drain all the water out refill and add the silica blast at 1 ml per gal, then the floranova grow and micro. at 1/4 strength and the cal mag at 2 ml per gal and then get a reading on what the ppms are at that point.
then maybe the rapid start for some root action but in my experience that is for really small no root plants. suggest a kelp product for the roots, I like bio bizz algamic I think its called .
Then the rest of the stuff are supplements. I assume the bud candy and big bud are for when you actually have buds so dont use those. You dont want to run a fish product in hydro as it will slme up everything and I dont know if that squid product is the same so I suggest not to use that in hydro try it once if it slimes up dont use it.
The bat shit idk I say dont use it not in flower anyways. Jacks nute dont know what that is. I wouldnt use it and if I did it would be very very little and that would be as a supplement just to use it up and only on healthy plants to be safe.then you have the other cal mag no need to double up on the same shit..
That goes for all the other stuff they can only make nutrients out of a limited supply of ingredients so a lot of these products are the same shit with a different label on it.
Hydroguard is a product that you could get to make the roots pop and keep root rot away and if you use that with the bio bizz kelp or any decent kelp your roots will really pop like crazy.

Lmfao, damn you sound like me.
I also travel out of town often but I make sure I check my ph before I leave. I also just whip up a mix and dump it in.
Wish I had more time for my plants. I’ll get better though. These guys are master growers, I have faith in them walking me through. I chose hydro because it’s less mess and It doesn’t take up too much space in my closet. Hopefully I get some type of yields

I’ll for sure go by what you recommended. I’ll drain it all and go by your mix. I had no ideas autoflower was this much trouble, from what I’ve read.
For sure I’ll be investing in hydroguard. Hope I don’t kill my ladies

use the hydro guard at 1/4 strength to start and if you have to go up then use at half strength max ....once a week dont need to waste it at the max recomendations on the label.I’ll for sure go by what you recommended. I’ll drain it all and go by your mix. I had no ideas autoflower was this much trouble, from what I’ve read.

If you want a super easy life, next time you get nutrients, check out megacrop. It's 1 part powder you can use your whole grow. That and a little hydroguard or southern ag fungicide will make things nice and easy. At most you may need a little calmag, but the new formula is supposed to improve that so probably not even that if you keep using your tap water.
I use megacrop and southern ag because they work well and are cheap for the volume I need.
MC offers a free 500g sample bag, I'd grab it. You only need a few grams per gallon, so it should be enough to last you a while with your small setup.
Overall your plant does look fairly good still and has a fairly good chance of recovering imo.

How big is your air pump?

You’re right about the freeclimb, but
i have
I have 2 50 gal pumps. Doubt that’s the issue.
Or do I need certain type of pumps?

I was just curious really.
You are a little on the low side for air though. If you have root problems down the line, I'd bump that up first.

Oh my, I’ll add an extra pump today. What brand do you recommend?

Brand doesnt matter as much as size as long as its not some cheap bs thatll burn out in a month. You want to aim for a minimum of 10 liters per minute per site, i prefer at least 15lpm. I use a 570gph pump with 4 air stones in my 27gal mother box.
I would use something like one of these with 2 or 4 stones, and keep the ones you have as backups. Youll be fine for a few days while it gets to you.
