This is actually day two but yesterday was crazy busy so I had to wait till today to start this journal. Bare with me, this is my first hydro grow and my first journal.
Set up:
2- 1000 watt batwing hoods.
2- 71 Lpm air pumps with 8 air outputs (2 lines per tub)
8- 18 gallon tubs holding three plants per tub for a total of 24 girls.
I have a 978 cfm 10" fan with 24" carbon filter. The fan has a speed controller and a temperature controller to kick it on when needed.
The room is 9 x 11 feet and has 8.5" worth of intake to create a negative pressure when the fan turns on. I got my timer set for a 18-6 schedule.
Okay, the clones I got weren't in very good shape but it was all I could find and I figured I could get them to bounce out of their funk. Honestly, I think they were about to flower or something. So I turns planted them from soil to hydro (pain in the ass) and got the nutes at half the strength of the manufacturers recommendation. Currently the PPM is at 225-270 between the eight tubs. The current air temps are 73 and water temps are at 66. The ph is a problem at the moment. I adjusted the pH to 5.5(ish) last night. Today, I checked it again (about twenty hours later) and it was back at 7.0-7.5
Does anyone have some wise, kind words for me on this issue? I've Googled it and it seems it could be several possibilities.
