Lighting 1st DWC grow, BAM by Pal

And worth being Proud of! Keep it going mate:gthumb: Looking lovely and bushy.

Good luck with refinding her favored EC

Thanks VapedAs, can't wait for my future grows with DWC :D: I did love soil the first time round, very relaxing method of growing but after seeing the size they can get to in DWC i'm just a sucker for those bushes man :peace:

Reminds me of SBs TD.

Anything close to seymour's plants is a great compliment so thank you :smokebuds:
 
Looks awesome!.. have a question..did the ph peak allot for the first week or so to stabilize?

Thanks bro, little but confused by the question. I had the PH slightly under where it should have been for the first couple weeks of growth which led to a few problems. But whenever I did set it at a PH for example 5.6 I don't get a lot of swaying, .2 max. The only times it takes a while to stabilise is when I add water that hasn't been bubbled for 24 hours prior but still it's not uncontrollable, hope some of that helps! :peace:

Sure does meng... mine was swaying 5.6 one day... next day 7.8.. that was just phed water..(di/ro).. I.didn't soak the clay balls over night in phed water.. reg tap water, so I was thinking it was leeching from them.. (tap water i phed, after the fact, came in at 8.1)
 
:Cushty:awesome job so far Pal :smokebuds:
PK boost week is a tough one ....I would wait a while yet ,up the boost to half next week ...then full the week after & maybe hit her with the PK then ?.

You could drop rhizo altogether or to 7.5ml per res to now mate :Holy Moly:shes a beaut
 
Day 50

Wow okay it doesn't feel like 50 days that I've been growing this plant/updating this journal, time flies wen you're having fun :D: Had a few issues today which took a couple hours to sort out so I've got a few pics in and out of the tent today. First problem was that the actual bucket was leaking from the connection to the water level indicator, close to the whole of the tent floor was a puddle so I had to do a quick swap into another bucket and top up the level again - very unexpected. Then after topping up I over did it with the PH down and had to readjust which was just my mistake trying to go too quick! Eventually I got it all resolved and she is in a non leaking bucket :thumbs: Oh and also with the help of some brown tape I managed to angle my lights as Tang and V advised, caveman diy but it works.

I think if you are using RO water then you should add a decent amount of calmag like 350-400ppm before anything else, it will help to keep the PH more stable

Sounds good as I haven't got the PK yet :D: will order it late this week I imagine. And yep Rhizo will be dropped to 7.5ml next res, thanks for the compliments - she's officially touching all 4 sides of the tent now had to remove a few more leaves and a small branch earlier :smokebuds:

Ahhh..(yes using ro) gotcha.. would Epsom salt do the same as cal/mag?.. the res tub is 7 gals (holds that much when up and running) I dont have a ppm meter as of yet.. next week it will be in hand, hopfully... don't want to Kerri.going to the local hydro store if I.don't have to... ;)
