Hi, I bought a DWC about 12 days ago. Against better judgment, converting a healthy soil plant to DWC, by removing much of its root structure, initially produced amazing fast growth, which after about 6hr, slowed, as the plant leaves began to droop. Over the course of one week, a few more leaves continued to develop slowly, and the plant has held its healthy green colour (so far). Amazingly, a lot of new healthy roots have now emerged from the bottom of the net pot. I had always expected the new roots to improve things, but they havenâ??t. I had an idea that the water temp had increased, effecting dissolved o2, due to submerged pump, instead of external pump, but no luck when changing for fresh nutrients and colder water this time. I have the water level low, and had initially had some success with this approach. I'm still waiting for some massive growth, but I guess I must have something wrong? In a soil system, I'd say itâ??s lacking oxygen. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong here are more than welcome! cheers.
