Grow Mediums Second grow: Two bucket DWC grow.

Added a Half gallon of water to Ivy, She is starting preflower!
Harley is well into full flower, She be a stinking, good thing for the carbon filter.
PH is stable, worried about oxygen levels in the buckets because the roots are so big.
@lykaboss @DWCocha @Son of Hobbes @Renaissance Redneck is it possible for a DWC plant to become Root bound?
other then that they are plugging along nicely, maybe tomorow i will pick up two more airstones and hose,
Two airstones per 5 gal rez, lots of AIR!!!!!!!

Great news, Qman!
I'm not a hydro guy, but more air sounds like a good thing to me.

Hey bud , dont worry about the roots getting bound ,they can almost fill the whole bucket with no adverse effects .The only thing that will starve them of 02 is too high temps ,above 24oC & the res wont hold enough .Sounds like everything is going well to me.

Extra air stones or pumps is rarely a bad thing though ,just dont go overkill & you should be good to grow

Thanks @DWCocha
I don't actually know what the water temp is, but is got to be around 23°c. Keep my house about that temp, plus they are well shaded now :smoking:

Even know I don't do hydro been following along and learning from you ,you're doing well and one day I see you as a hydro expert no doubt

 

[Qman1515]

Thanks man. That's a big complement,

Critcal auto "poison ivy"

Milk cap for scale

Blue diesel "Harley Quinn"

Both doing well!
Good ph 5.6 and 5.7. Big roots!
