How long can you keep plants in DWC without hurting the grow? We ran into family problems and I haven't been able to do the 24 hour flush. How long can I keep them in water without effecting them? And God forbid, how long could they go in an empty bucket? Just need answers. Haven't ran out yet. But I'm extending the nutes, that for sure. Thanks for the help ahead of it.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you still have them in the nute solution and have not done the once weekly plain water mini flush between change outs. Is that correct? They'll be just fine. Not sure what the problem is but you certainly cannot let them run out of water. They'll be dead quicker than you can say Oh Shit!! If you cannot access them to feed or water.... IDK. Sounds bad. Hope everything works out. Retiree
I had 6 3 foot plants in a tub, went out of town for a few days that turned in to almost 2 weeks. They sucked up every bit of the15 gallons of solution. I lost 90% of all leaves and it seriously affected the harvest, they were at 4 weeks into flower when I left.
Well I'm back and some things are back to normal. Lost most of my Lemonberry clones, 2 PPP (still have a survivor), 2 Jock Horror (same), 3 LA Confidental (waiting to see if 2 more pull thru) and a Grape God (dead as a door knob. Really wanted to try this. Damn.). Some of my flowering plants suffered a little. The Blue Widow and the Pineapple Express suffered the most but they still look pretty decent. I bet they could've been better. I get to chop them in about a week to 10 days.
