Subbing in. So far so good.

 

[EastCoastGhost]

I’m subbed also, looking good so far. I use flora trio, does great in dwc. I like the stability of the ph with flora, my ph is always rock solid with flora. I have some northern light autos going right now but their in coco but I do have a blackberry auto in dwc.

I have Northern Lights in a DWC so will follow along with yours. Mine are two weeks in flower and have been really easy going. You say your nutes are coming soon, what are you feeding right now? Just asking because the girl in the pic. looks hungry.

 

[EastCoastGhost]

I agree, she’s hungry. Hopefully your nutes get here soon

Count me in aswell troops!

Hope it goes well for you canvas.. whats your preferred title btw, can i call you canvas? Not sure why but i need something or ill keep calling you mate or bro. I know youll be used to it but it still bothers me lol.
Not done northern lights yet. Almost positive ive got an auto one there though thatll be getting popped soon-ish.
Im not a DWC grower tbh, tried it once and didnt like it. I grow NFT which is basically the opposite.
You use water with loads of air. I use air with a little bit of water.
Same rules to follow but lucky if 1 in 10'000 grow my way. ive only bumped into at most 15-20 in the 3+ years ive been foruming so DWC is my chosen method to follow.
Bit stoned so your getting the intro lol.

How long you think the nutes will be though?
That damage is still reversable but youve not got long before they start frying. 2 or 3 days and theyre gonna look like shit. Need to get something in there before the tips start burning back or its gonna cost you a couple weeks recovery.

I was feeding them some off the shelf bottle nutes 10-15-10 said for hydro but was bad pretty sure that was what screwed with the ph...I flushed lastnight....ordered nutes last night but are coming from Vancouver and are four days out....anything I can use while waiting...the leave tips are turning brown this morning

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Go light on nutes of what u have

Do u have a pH pen, if not order one

Get that pH low

They will be ok till yer nutes arrive

 

[thecanvasgirl]

Yes, I added ph down this morning....how long should I wait before I test? I was doing 3 drops nutes instead of 7 it called for is that acceptable? Thanks in advance for your help!

I test right after all nutes are added. I shake the container (or stir it) and then I stir the pH pen in the water vigorously--this gives the most accurate reading. Then I pH up or pH down depending.

If you go 1/4 the dosage recommended on the bottle you won't go wrong. Go light though when you first start introducing the new nutes.
