Reservoir Checks

Grow Day 1 - Veg Day 1 (10 Sept 2020)

  • Air Temp: 21 C
  • Res Temp: 19 C
  • Humidity: 60%
  • PH: 5.85
  • PPM: 850
  • EC: 1.7 (850*2/1000)
  • Profile: EC N/A Water N/A , PH N/A

Grow Day 2 - Veg Day 2 (11 Sept 2020)

  • I've lowered the water level about 3 inches to increase the air gap as both the plants are drooping. After a few hours I can notice a slight improvement so hopefully this helps the drooping.
  • Air Temp: 22.4 C
  • Res Temp: 18.4 C
  • Humidity: 58.9%
  • PH: 6
  • PPM: 878
  • EC: 1.756 (878*2/1000)
  • Profile: EC Rising, Water Static , PH Rising

Grow Day 4 - Veg Day 4 (13 Sept 2020)

  • PH: 5.5
  • PPM: 600
  • Air Temp: 23.4 C
  • Res Temp: 18 C
  • RH: 65%
  • So many issues this early.
    1- Overwatered. My air pump was only at 50% and caused a serious lack of O2.
    2- Air gap should have been longer
    3- PPM was to high.
    4- PH pen was off about 0.5 causing my adjustments to be incorrect. Now set to exactly 5.5 and ready for a proper drift.
  • All water profiles will use this as the base moving forward.
  • I also turned my inline fan off it was causing temps to drop too low

Grow Day 5- Veg Day 5 (14 Sept 2020)

  • PH: 5.5 (Added 0.5 ml of PH up, now at 5.8)
  • PPM: 621
  • Air Temp: 23.5 C
  • Res Temp: 19.2 C
  • RH: 65%
  • Water Level: Static
  • Notes: Still fairly droopy but i'm seeing some nice root growth on both plants so it just needs a little more time.

  • PH: 5.94, no adjustment made
  • PPM: 634

Welcome to blurt 😁

This looks like quite the set-up. The whole PH thing is one them reason I stayed away from DWC

That really sucks about day 4 having so many issue hope they come back no problem. They look healthy now.

Welcome to blurt! Awesome post! Tbh there has never been really any DWC grows on the chain. Possibly a few, but never in detail.
