1st Grow Looking for advice.

[Doug52]

 

This is my first grow. Grow Box, Co2 enhancer, moon dust nutes, lights 20/4, Seeds are Auto Creamy Caramel, 11days in. Put a bigger air stone only because little one that it came with box broke and it is the smallest our hydro store had. They are in 1 gallon water container. Leaves look a little light green and droopy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Doug

Look healthy to me. What lighting do you have ?

I would buy a ec and PH pen and keep the indicator drops for back up. 

[Doug52]

Ok I will get a ec and PH pen today. I have 3 CFL 6500k lamps. The middle one in back has some darkness around edges also.

 

Thanks for quick reply

How are they looking now mate?

Did you drop that water level yet? Best to keep that level at the bottom of the pots once roots hit the water till harvest.

DWc has its quirks but also one kick ass way to grow so get yourself well read and learn your plants nutrient needs from credited growers, like mentioned above with meters.. These will help you imo to learn a thing or three.

I like to throw a pond pump diectly in my dwc container (if rdwc is not an option at the time) and feed it back through the expanded clay in the pots (keep water stream well away from plant stem) or just have the pipe work targeted at the side of a pot or directly on the water surface.

This is all for the increase of dissolved oxygen which is because of the water trickling through the clay balls like a waterfall which highly oxygenates the water.

The pond pump been in the container will produce heat so that has to be a consideration though not alot with smaller pumps but an air pump will also add heat to the water.

I have used high together and both on their own.

A 15 liter container with a 500 l/per hour pond pump and had incredible growth.

Best to ya
