My quest to make the lazy cheap idiot-proof DWC bucket: Grow #2

,

Week 6

Branches have started bending over from the weight of the buds, need to find a way how to straighten them up.

One concern I do have is that my humidity has averaged 70% thoughout this entire grow. Trying to control it would be expensive so I’m hoping the two fans will be enough. Fingers crossed.

For the first time in a while I decided to check the EC of the drained water (1.5L~) which measured 10, the highest reading yet. It makes me wonder how the plants are handling that high of an EC. I’m going to keep to the same feeding regimen of EC@1.8 to see how far I can go until the plant starts showing signs of sickness.

Update: It occurred to me that the salts might be accumulating despite me draining the buckets before each refill so I measured the current EC (from a bucket I just refilled an hour ago) sampling the water from the bottom. It measured EC@3~ which confirmed my suspicions. I’ll let it ride till next week and attempt to flush more of the nutrients out before I refill.
