In the last 4 days she has tripled in size. And like I said I think my ppm pen is broken, gonna get a new one and see what’s happening.
@Lostgirl I can confirm my ppm pen is broken. I just fed my other girls and I did only 5ML m,g,b and 5ml of everything else and still came out 1000 ppm. So it’s definitely a broken ppm pen.
@SeaOhAreWhy I think I’ve seen in other posts you dabble in DWC or RDWC. Just wondering what style and system you use. And what nutrients.
Hi @DanB
I run DWC in 5 gal buckets using Kosher nutients. I sometimes use Jacks and GH trio. Current grow I’m using Jacks. Stay lifted ![]()
That was the water from top feeding threw the Promix, I changed and cleaned the entire system.
Here is today
I did run into a little bit of a problem while cleaning the coil I used a smaller hose for a few hours and it was not keeping the bucket cool enough, now I have other coil in and bucket is staying cool.
Ok everyone that is following and has experience in DWC,RDWC or and pump style water feeding I have a question, if I was to put both my res outside the tent and the res in the tent at the same height, and connected a hose to the bottom of both buckets, I could then use this pump set every hour cycle to put water from the outside res in and let it drain the bottom.
Picture what I am saying, still rotating the water just not using a coil anymore. So y’all think it will work?
Decided to adjust air flow and see what happens and possibly do RDWC next grow.
I did just start 2 more beans in the 2x2 so with both tents I’m up to 7 planted, 5 growing.
Did you give up on the cooling coils?
Not yet, I think the coil will work I just need a pump that will circulate the cooling water more then every hour.
Let me clarify, I am putting bottles of saltwater frozen in the res, and my temps are drifting back an forth between 68-73°F but my pump at its lowest rating can only operate every hour, so I cycle 64°F water into my res that the water reaches a max of 73°F, and I had my 1200LPM air pump full into the rez, too much air. Now that I lowered the air and reset my correct coil things are smoothing out back to where it should be.
But next round I am going to try this same system but as RDWC, I found the hose that I want to use as a return. With how cold I can keep the outside res and the water having a gravity return I could help keep the water colder inside the tent.
