Greetings, brother.
I am just learning and asking here. Is it the pic or strain that it looks like the plant is growing great but the light green from the pic I want to ask about increasing some nitrogen into the nutrients.
Maybe it’s the pic or me not understanding hydroponics grows, I just want to learn from your grow so I know what to look out for.
Take care

Greetings, brother.
I have had some in dirt but was learning from yours to watch and see. Having not done in hydroponics I just want to keep yours in mind, when I start.
Thanks have a blessed day.

@Retiredoldguy so dumb question… how would i do a flush in a dwc?? Is it as sinple as just run plain water for a day?

Just dump and fill with new nutrients for the stage of growth cycle your in at the moment and check ph… :wink:
Its vary rare to have to rinse anything or roots unless something catastrophic happens…
No such thing as a dumb question… :crazy_face: :ok_hand:
:v: :sunglasses:

Thats more of a soil or coco thing…
Usually if you can keep water temps below 70 degrees, preferably 66 to 68 degrees would be better, you shouldn’t have too many issues…
Just keep your ph somewhat in range and don’t go crazy with your ppm’s and you should be good…
Just remember, in water , it only takes a couple of hours to kill them if your not paying a little bit of attention… :wink:

morning @Mmanson1981 as peachfuzz said flushing is normally a soil thing but in hydro some growers believe that the last few days before harvest they exchange the nutes with just water to flush out any remaining nutrient buildup for a better smoke…and I guess if you had over feed you could put plain water for a few days …

So with these being autos does it speed up when the will start flower and harvest? Or is it just gonna get bigger than what she did in dirt and flower at the 5th like she did in dirt? Like wasnt sure if they flower at a certian size or is it a time frame?

Autos are hard to tell temperamental lil B**ches. But it’s timing not hight.

Could the fact I use coco be why my roots are all browning. Got ppm at 650 got pH at 6.4 tent temp/rH 77/55.

The plant itself above the basket looks good and happy,




Using advanced nutrients only micro grow bloom right now but have bud candy big bud bud ignitor overdrive
