Aloha!
Welcome to my first ever journal and first attempt to growing! After many weeks of reading completed journals and gathering data I decided I wanted to go with a DWC setup. I also had a budget in mind to keep this project as low cost as possible.
The most expensive items so far have been the tent I grow in (Milliard, 2x4x5.5) and the nutrients (Fox Farm). I also picked up some TaoTronics LED E27 bulbs to start out with. I plan on moving up to a Mars II later once I get some experience under my belt.
I'm excited to have any input from the community! I'll waste your time later with telling you more about me, which I'm sure you'll get a taste of that throughout this journal.

Sorry for the massive resolution on the pictures! I'll make sure to re-size my future images. As you can see, the plant went through some nutrient shock after the transplant to the DWC. It took a few days to pick back up but it got back up an running quickly.
The plant has been fed by directly adding nutes to the water and topping off with fresh water as per the instructions with Fox Farm. The bucket medium has been changed out twice now and according to Fox Farm it's getting close to flush the plant, switch to flowering (12/12) and up the nutes.
My first question...
I feel like based off other grows I've seen, my plant is smaller than it should be at this date. What are your thoughts? Light too far? Looks right, looks puny - whatdayathink?
Again, thank you for visiting and sharing your opinion or knowledge! Hope all is well with you and yours!
