Grow Mediums ROUND 2 (TAP WATER GROW)

[Gunner]

just starting a second attempt and 5 gallon DWC grow. The first grow I used bottle water. This time gonna see what I get by using tap water. Learned a lot from my first grow, excited to apply all of what I've learned. Trying 3 plant this round. Growing BIG BUD XXL, VIKING TROPICAL, HEAD STASH, currently they are about 2 weeks give or take a day or two. Roots are out on all 3. Using general hydroponic flora 3 part and rapid root. Tap water starts at 140 ppm. Started my feeding at 1/4 nutes that put me at 216 ppm. Ph is at 5.6

It looks like they might be a little bit overwatered, is your rockwool touching the water? If so you should drop it down to about an inch below the bottom of the net pot. At 2 weeks old in DWC they should be a little bigger than that, but they could just be slow starters. Also if you are going to use tapwater, make SURE you let it sit out in an open container for at least 24 hours before using it so the chlorine will evaporate. Keep up the good work and I am sending super grow Karma your way

And just to be sure, the 3 that you are growing in these pics are autoflowers right?

Yes they are. Atleast 2 of them are the third should be but I'm not 100 percent sure. It's big bud xxl but they also have a non auto big bud not sure if I mistakly ordered the non auto seed. I just figured I'll plant it and if it doesn't flower then I will kno it's not a Ito flower. At that point I will just trash it and replac with another autoflower seed.

Right on that is why I asked because the seed pack didn't look like it denoted that it was an auto. Carry on lol

This is it here. I'm correct it is not a autoflower

Ok so here's my update. Made a few changes the big bud xxl was not a autoflower so it had to go . I replaced it with AUTO POUNDER . She is less than a week old. No nutes at this time just ph sitting at 5.6 with some rapid root

Next up is 2 week old (NORDEN)AUTO VIKING TROPICAL starting to LST her early. Just attaches a screw to the end of the top and tied my string. Ph is steady at 5.6 ppm175

with rapid root
