Lighting 1st DWC grow, BAM by Pal

Mate there's no way to know for sure due to my clumsiness, there is every chance it was closer to 10ml extra :no:
Just seen this comment bro, I'm still trying to figure all this stuff out as you can probably tell from the convo currently taking place between me and vira
: Everyone that owns one recommends the bluelab bro, i'm just trying to figure out if mine is broken or if it just needed a good clean. hopefully the latter. I do recommend it though it's a solid design, a lot of PH/EC meters on the market are cheaply built but this is more like the Iphone in the EC meter world

ok add your zym & check EC .... just always take your 0.4 BG in consideration .... 1.6 is really 1.2 . plus after 24hrs your EC will go up 0.1 once everything has dissolved ... so you wont need more vegga i doubt.
Before you only had 10ml in there & today theres 25ml so you have deffo added a lot more vegga than just the 10ml before calibration was done , looks like that worked & your a lot closer to my readings .My meter may need calibrating with the proper bluelab stuff & be reading slightly low even ?.
If she picks up & the roots expand & she doubles in size the next week then she could turn out fine ... I cant be sure that res is perfect or thats going to happen but if not you learned how a res gets made anyway lol.
:smokebuds:
in hindsight i think the rhizo was kept to high for to long & the vegga to low due to the meter .... you only run rhizo full for a 1st week when all is healthy .Half in week 2 &quarter in week 3 ect ...making more room for the main feed as she grows .Germinating straight into the bucket may not have helped either mate ... I keep the net pot in a propagating zone till the root shows when I TRY that !.Water levels at that stage can make or break ... All these things make second guessing from here really hard Pal .
also counting the day that root hits the res as day 1 is best .you may change up the res to early otherwise .
Running a full res before the seedling sprouts is something ive not done either ?.
Its a real fine line & I can only give so much advice .:hug::smokebuds:

Okay man I'll obviously keep updating as she changes, no idea how big they're meant to be at this stage but I just want her to live lol! Can't thank you enough for everything you've done today, been a real team player
: I'll go add the last bit of zym to get me at 1.6 total EC and keep you informed here :smokebuds::High 5:

no worries bro ... i'll take this chance to tell you & anyone else im not a pro ok .
Everything ive just told you i either read here or Seymour,Kush,Ko,Insert ect tought me here ... there info is golden & Seymour especially has a real professional way of putting this info out there .How that translates to this thread after scrambling around in my fkd up head for a while may not be quite as educational & in some circumstances maybe not 100% accurate :stylez rasta smoke:
I do my best mate but please go read up on Seymours & other threads coz I don't want to be leading anyone down the garden path .Those EC level may be a bit low for all i know & after everything thats gone on ! ,feel free to bump it up to 1.8 or drop to 1.4 anytime ok ?. Its hard to be sure from here... keep a close eye & see what you think & make the call brotha :High 5:
I never joined this place to tell other how to grow & what works in my tent may not in yours .
