Healthy roots i see:drool:
Better pics later, but man are those roots HUGE and healthy. Completely baffles me, I am ignoring her (not on purpose), almost letting her dry out, I never ever changed rez, only top-ups. This last time I didnt even measure EC and pH kind of hoping for some action... nothing.
the only thing I can report is most fan leaves fell off. I didnt defoliate. I went working during the weekend and forgot to top-up and she nearly dried up. She majestically sacrificed her fans, went all 80% yellow when I returned, I topped up but was too late. So we're left with the budsite and newer sugar/fan leaves. The burning shown is from shock, not nutrients.
EC should be around 2.4 and pH 6.2 have no clue water temp but surely up there in the 24c zone...

Day 90.
She's going down.
What can I say, I never expected this... 2L bucket. no rez change, no pH temps EC checks ... just adding correct pH'ed and EC top ups., maxed at EC 2.4.
I still have some coco nutes left, may try a third run for fun! May spice thing up a little... ideas welcome.

I love it! You've inspired me. I want to stick a clone or seedling in plain old dirt, water it with res change water and stick it in a corner and water it when it looks in dire need lol! Got to find me a pot to plant in..hmm... Wait! I'll use a 2 liter bottle! :Sharing One:
Pop, sure do man ! I watered my salad garden with run off from my coco days. Lovely huge tomatoes! While obviously not ideal, there is much much more to be said about nutrition than just nutrient changes. Quite the learning ground. Pretty soon I will be doing a 4 plant RDWC with ZERO water changes and no airstones.
HA !
