slow growing autos?

[havik_racing]

Hi havik,

That soil looks a bit barren, how come the tomato gets the dwc, and their in that?

 

slipper good question, I tried DWC last year but failed, i want to learn more about dwc and fiddle around with it so i chucked a grosse lisse in there

 

yeah that soil is crap should of done abit more research on autos before i started but anyway... cheers

Jumped the gun and transplanted one, This will be interesting haha, Cheers for the advice all that soil was really restrictive, The roots made it down about 5 cm and had bugger all going out sideways, gave the roots a little wash in some ph'd water and a dash of h202 ..cleaned up well i think. Not sure what to do with the other auto yet... will see how this one chugs along, added abit of h202 to the dwc fresh water ph'd to 5.8....wish me luck...think what's going to happen but is the tom's roots are starting to poke through allready....might have to make a new diary i think

the grosse lisse hasnt been looking to good, wondering why i dropped my $10 temp probe i got from aldi in the dwc bucket and the temp was 30.5, way to high i think , checked the ph also dropped to 4.5...brang back up to 5.5...dropped a few ice cubes in before i ph'd dropped the temp to 28.4 still dropping as i post this (wireless monitor) ....on the other hand the auto northern lights looks fine ...no signs of drooping......thinking of starting a new diary as i think this is the wrong place to discuss my continuing grow, cheers all appreciate it....again.... thanks....

some more pics for you all ...the grosse lisse with my auto drooped really bad today (the auto stayed fine and still nice and healthy looking) checked the temp with my aldi prong and the temp was 30.5 and ph 4.5!!!....shit so brang the ph back to 5.6 and chucked a few ice cubes in the mix before i ph'd to drop the temp...done bugger all maybe dropped the temp by .4......I need to do some more research on DWC temps to get a better idea...cheers all and enjoy the rest of your weekend........btw any ideas on what to do with my other auto? still sittting in the pot with the cheap potting soil....no idea what to do with it thanks....Loving the fun and experimenting with dwc...Learning so much thanks again to all who put in there valuable knowledge

Good to see you having a bit of an experiment. You really don't want the rootzone temps over 23 degrees imo.

it pissed down the other night so i thought of that^, disconencted one of the down pipes and collected with my watering container, Didn't get much and it was pretty sooty looking reckon that auto will come back smashed or should i stop worrying?

id be getting it out of that an throwing it in some soil,, sounds like too muchg truble , to practise with the tommies mate ,

 

sounds like you should or coco , i had i sick auto , sat there doing shit for 5 weeks in coco got the same as the others ,, pulld it out had a thick taproot thats about it but , so i threw it in a container (last year soil ) an 2 weeks later it started growing going well now , but its fucking old ,

 

you'll pro just kill it in there , dont waist it ,
