Zurple's DWC Bag Seed Grow Journal, 2019

7/31 update...

Tent environment is 74 degrees & 55% humidity. The room connected to the area where the tent is has a AC unit set at 72 degrees. I am considering getting a mobile AC unit for the tent room, but not in the tent. This should help me keep the water temps managed, but I am also going to use Hydroguard.

1 of the 3 plants is started to show up through the rapid rooter.

I still have the light dimmed and about 60" away from them at the moment. I will lower it to 30" this evening.

I have 3 5 gallon buckets sitting with tap water from yesterday to let the chlorine evaporate. I am hoping to get the RR plugs into them and running this evening.
 
Nice setup. I'm in.

So, I am preparing by DWC buckets for their first voyage. I am a little confused about adding anything other than ph adjusted water in the 5.8 range. My seedlings are just now popping up through their rapid rooters and I want to transfer them into the buckets.

I will be using Fox Farms hydro nutrients, Hydroguard & Gringo Rasta cal/mag. This is all that I have purchased so far, and I have my ph up & down solutions.

I understand that everyone says to use the FF trio at 1/4 - 1/2 of what their schedule says to use.

So, should I start with 1/4 nutes, some cal/mag and the Hydroguard right off the bat for new seedlings?

Hopefully, someone here is doing hydroponics and can assist me. My grow room details are in my signature. Thanks
 
@Pennywise @InTheShed @88WW lets see, who else I can get in here to say hi and offer any help. I’m busy at the moment and will be back later. Hopefully some of these members can assist you in any way. :thumb:
 
I'm not a hydro person...

:goodluck: though!
 
I have my lights dimmed down and showing 900 lux at the top of the buckets. I don't have a par meter, so I am not certain if this is adequate?

I also had bottom roots, so I adjusted the ph to 5.8 and placed the seedlings into their buckets. 1 of the 3 has their starter leaves so far, so no nutes in yet, but I am thinking about doing that this Sunday. Too soon?
