    Default Dwc help

    Hey every one first time indoor grower many outdoors, OK so I started off in 15l buckets and had a good start, a few ups and downs but learning lots, when it can to the flower cycle things started to get a little hard to control drinking way to much water in a day and my ec and pH were all over the place. So I upgraded my buckets to rubbish bins 50l just over 40l to the bottom of the basket, I'm running GH at half dose and 15mls of pk plus a little clamag and hydro guard I'm in the 5th week of flower plants are looking really good but I would have thought that the buds would have been more chunky lol anyway I had my ppm set at about 900 or 1.3ec very low I think for this stage, but the thing is my pH is still dropping slowly and the EC rises slowly I have now dropped them to 830ppm 1.1-1.2 ec and will update at the end of the day on what happens with the numbers, I was feeding organic boosters but they seem to play havoc with my pH so have cut it back to the basics.

    So my numbers have been good but they have only drunk maybe a L of water all day I have had them feeding nicely at 1.4ec before but I was using to many products and couldn't control the EC and pH for more than 3days.

    So I have 2 plants in a 50l rubbish bin each under a 315w cmh there were under a 3000 watt led that was using 600w of power and don't think it was earning its watts so have changed to the cmh

    Any help would be appreciated I would post some photos but need to post a little more to me it's like they aren't feeding and maybe I need to take them to straight water for a little, would I have stressed them out changing the light type, I think the new light is giving better lums but I guess it's a different spectrum

    I also just had a thought taking them out of a 15l bucket and into a 50l may have stressed them out there roots now being suspended in water away from the base?

    What size air pump are you using? I'm thinking in the bigger buckets you're not getting enough oxygen now.
