Wet Rock: a journey to the Darkside
update
slow moving, maybe, but, right now, it is what it is.
a few days ago i added a trace of grow nutes to help stabilize the ph. i think it helped.
today just nudged the ph down a lil and added about 1/2 gal water n some grow nutes, less than half strength, to both. Will prolly change the water in a couple days as a maintenance precaution., every week or 2, right?
i did notice a lil frosty kinda lookin residue on some of the rocks lower in the clone basket. didnt get pics, im thinkin might be some of the perlite dustin and movin with the moisture, or maybe some of those salt buildups i read about here n there.
either way, ill just keep an eye on it for now.
while checkin under the baskets....
look at the center of the clone basket, yep, thats a lil root, approx 3-4 inches growth would b needed to poke out the bottom, so, i guess its doin ok.
i did bump the watering schedule up last week to 2.5 hrs on, 1.5 hrs off, on constant rotation.
seeing todays growth, decided to bump the watering a lil more, now 3 on, 1 off, on constant rotation.
lighting is still 18-6
this far, i think i woulda been better prepared to deal with the monitoring/maintenance aspect of hydro better months ago when i had a more flexible schedule. i'm gonna try to make this work, but given my actual freetime, i think soil grows may be better suited to my current personal availability, but i'll try.
