hey, I got the opposite problem, my dwc grows have been mostly successess, whereas every single one of my soil grows have been utter failures, cant figure it out, anyways, good luck with the dwc, I find it rather easy, at the moment I'm only using mother earth bloom tea and superthrive with regular tap water, and its going great. I use a simple color chart ph tester, which helps, especially when the ph is high. Take it easy and good luck man. looks good
