OK...You all know that I built the 1st phase of my irrigation system.
...MY BBjack/Misty Blue grow is in transition phase between veg and flower, no nutes this week...
...do you think that I can:

A. change the nutrient supply method of this plant that is thriving in dwc; to aero? or...

B. Should I go with continual open drip method...ala Zandor? or...

C. Leave it in dwc. Avoid shock or whatever?

I ponder these question's, wondering if it would shock the plant by changing nutrient supply/delivery method...here's a couple of pix

...The bottom line is, that I am happy with the dwc, but I want to run my new system...I just don't know if I want to take a chance on shocking or otherwise interfering with the progress or beauty of this Misty Blue(Original Misty and Sagamartha's Blueberry Male)...

Thanks to all who respond. Keep in mind, that i will probably make a mpve tonight or tomorrow night...impatient mofo

As long as the net pot is not changed then water is water. The roots and plant don't know how they are feed just that they are. Changing your system will not automatically shock or cause problems. It may change how they drink up their nutrients but I don't think there will be a change. It may even do some good and make the roots grow out or down a little more.

You are not changing your net pot are you or your grow medium? Just how you deliver the water?

I don't see any problems.

JUst for future reference...I won't do this again, all hermied...I don't know for sure it was the delivery method change, but I don't have this problem as much in dwc, except when pollen contamination occurs...I do have tons of
BBjackxMisty Blue seeds.

I bet the shock was from something else dude. Not how the nutrients are delivered. Just an opinion

I agree, bro, but everything had been good...I really think I had some BBjack Male contamination...but, you know I like the root growth in dwc better than aero...I tried it, now I leave it alone...except for cloning and maybe some veggies.
I have my drip system about ready...have to gut the room first, thanks Z
p.s. I wasn't saying you were wrong either, just that something went wrong.
