Hey guys, okay so this will be my first attempt at DWC.
Start off with essentials:
Strain: Wedding Cake - (seed came from dispensary nug)
Nutes: Lotus + hydrogaurd if needed
PH: averaging 6.1 so far
PPM: currently 340, lotus says the dose should be at 450 so not sure what is going on there
Ambient: 75
Humidity: 40-50%
Tank Temp: 68
Light: SF2000 dimmed all the way down at 24” of height.
Here is a picture, any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
Should add, seed was germinated 12/10/2020
Ppm variation to chart could be water ppms not to worry. Turn that brightness up and at 24" you should be good at this point.
What brightness would you suggest? It’s currently all the way down, maybe bump to 25%?
100% full grow ahead! 
I run a Mars Hydro 2000 similar I suppose - at 100% all the way through grows just adjusting height.
Your roots have dropped through the net right? Make sure you have an air gap between water level and bottom of net.
Water is kept about 1-2” below the pot, probably 5-10 roots have made it into that water now
Awesome good good.
Question, the first true leaves seem to be canoeing… temps have been stable around 75, humidity around 40%. Ph drifted up to 6.6, I try to maintain 6.3, light still at same height and full power. Ppm was 310 this morning. Not sure what’s going on, only using lotus grow currently at about 75% strength…
In hydro you should shoot much lower like 5.8 if it drifts upwards pH it down and repeat testing solution pH often
@neofirebird big thanks man, she really started growing this past week here’s an update pic, she’s gonna be a fatty
Looking great
@mcjlgrow Very nice looking plant. Quick question if I may.
I just received a sample pack of Lotus to try on a Cookies Gelato seedling I started with Advanced Nutrients ph perfect. Hope you don’t mind my asking, but is the solution (Grow) clear. I mixed at 1/2tsp/1gal. No color at all.
Is your grow solution clear as well and are you using anything else?
Also tap/distilled/RO water?
Thx for any assistance.
Happy flowering
Sorry for late reply, it will have clear appearance throughout, ended up yielding 12 oz. mostly due to space and light constraints. Follow the schedule from lotus, I had great results. Just keep an eye on the ph, I had to balance twice a day, no crazy deficiencies or anything.
I used distilled water, start to finish was about 100 gallons, so call it $100 in water
@mcjlgrow Thanks for you response brother. I’m 4 weeks in veg now using it. I’ve used hydroguard 4ml/4gal and give her a shot of recharge 24hrs before water change. Now that I’ve stopped using tap water my deficiency went away. Our tap water has something they do not like. I’m 0-4 in dwc so far for one reason or other. I am liking the Lotus pretty well. Extremely easy. Thanks for sharing your experience with me. Take care Sir
Couple photos of Cookies Gelato in veg and a soil grown Dutch Passion Blackberry Kush Auto.
1st Auto but color is going to be amazing. Amy way thanks again . Peace
