1st time Hydro grower DIY RDWC system

Yea. .2 is exactly what the shift is. I wasn’t too concerned about it as long as it didn’t keep climbing. Just curious to the reasoning. I also noticed that the aroma has changed in parallel with the shift. Since I had Covid I can’t really smell a whole lot but my nose acts like I’m sniffing pepper when I go in the room.

So you think it wouldn’t hurt to set my Blue Lab PH controller to 6.2 and allow it to drift upwards? It’s set to 6.0 now.

I dunno. I try to keep my hydro between 5.6 and 6.0. 5.8 is the true sweet spot. I’m thinking 6.2 is perhaps too high - it may start to affect the plant’s ability to absorb the distinct micronutrients (manganese, copper, iron, etc). Although you could try it and see how it goes.

I believe I’ll keep her locked @ 6.0 and not take the chance. I took @Myfriendis410 advice on that setting and have been running it the whole grow.

That’s my target for pretty much every medium.

This makes me feel way better about accidentally feeding my soil plants the 6.0 water I mix up for the coco plants. It happens more often than I’d like to admit.

The final countdown has begun!
Flush officially starts today!

Drained and cleaned system. . Bumped up the PH and reset the environmental controls to have a larger temperature drop at lights off to try and bring out the colors.

After this harvest, I’m tearing down the system and revising it. I’m reducing the size of the totes to 8 gallons and adding 8 more. Installing several more lights and revamping the draining system for ease is flushing and cleaning.

Harvested the girls last night. Got them drying now. I’ll post some pics after they’re bagged and give the final weigh in. In the next few weeks I’ll dismantle the system and do my revisions and start all over. Everybody that would like to follow the next grow give me a shout and I’ll tag you when i start. Thanks to everybody that gave their suggestions and tips throughout this grow. Much appreciated.
