zen-ken Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Don't disturb the pebbles at all....don't even peek ! Any disruption to the 'crown' at this point is going to set them back...I trim roots when they are coming out the pebbles and one or two streak away from the rest. I'll be honest....I hate auto's and putting them in DWC is gonna be tricky IMHO.....but you have obviously made it work before. Get them in the system now....Get the water to tickle the bottoms......still top feed till they get out the nets ....basically everything @stu914 said Is the bottom of that tent warm? whats the temps like ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google 'wreath rings' and you'll find the one's I'm using, pretty sure there are different sizes... Ok @stu914 cheers when you have them in that plant pot do have your drip feed system on them or do you hand water until you put into your system mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu914 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 @Baron von greenback I have them straight on the automatic system as soon as the first tap root appears from the cube. Once a day when they're really tiny then work up from there, ending up at 15min on 45min off, 24/7, far too lazy to hand water bud... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoner Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 So to update, 1 plant now has a root of 5mm out the bottom and the other has 2 at about the same Still not sure if the damage is already done so I've got another 2 seeds waiting to germinate If the original 2 are OK I'll just soil grow or some shit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate how much water do you think each plant gets at 15 mins watering @stu914 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Size and stage of growth determines their needs, the res gets changed every week to ten days anyway as some elements in the nutes will be depleted by then.

bexwell Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 How's the PH on your water, I had this problem last year and never even thought about it until I checked, corrected it into the right range and it cured itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
