Added a comment to 1St time DWC 

So my PH with the pen is 6.3 to 6.5, I have door dash delivering the PH up/down in a hour.

I also noticed that I believe my water levels were way to high. I have them in a rock wool 6" cube, but I had the whole thing summered in water. It wasn't getting any o2 from stone at all, till the roots dropped down far enough out of cube. You can see how high the water is and no bubbles at all. The others are the hardest hit MK plant, roots look good was going to get rid of but I will put back and see if it helps for a day or so.

I have dropped down water levels, will rehanged water on all today and drop my PH down .7, to 5.9 or 5.8, got them in the dark now, will start changing water today when PH stuff is here and I know how much to use.

    • Yeah, your water is WAY too high. Especially with RRs, which are known for holding too much water.

       When I run DWC, I keep the water level just at the bottom of the net pot, so the bottom layer of media gets wet. The moisture will wick up from there. Once the roots hang below the net pot, keep the water level lower, leaving an air gap.

        • an easy fix! i like a little air gap between the bottom of my net pot and nutrient level (1/2" - 1")
