Thanks pigeon. The temtation is unreal to pop one of each...but I told myself one strain at a time untill I find a couple that help me the way I want. When I did the three it was too much. Waay too many different things happening to a beginner like me lol. Especially starting hydro like I did.

The girls are looking very nice today. The fan leaves seem to be staying down as a result of me bending them that way to allow more light between. They are so short they totally shade that growth. Temps were 31 topside and 25 res. RH 40% been raining all day here so a nice little boost for them. I added some black/wbite paper to the tops od the res to try and drop that to around 20. Where its at now a lil too high for my liking.
Piper seems to be pushing out another node...hopefully 3 leaves on this one. Ill post pics tomorrow as ill have a little more time for upload. My internet isnt the greatest but it gets me by.
(now I anxiously await my light meter)

You're really not making a bad choice by waiting and doing one strain at a time. I started growing multiple strains way to early and it cost me a couple beautiful plants. But lesson learned I suppose.

You're on the right track! Keep it up!

 

[FROSTYNUGZZ]

well...my addition of the black/white paper was a terrible idea. But we will start on a positive today to keep the energy!
Piper is looking nice and healthy!

And her roots have made it to the bottom! Sweet!

Now...on to my rather lifeless...suffocated girls. I can only assume that this was the case as adding the black white paper would have cut off fresh airflow to my rootzone..giving them the look of overwateringl imo. Heres what i fashioned to increse light at base of plant.

Purely a case of overcare...as they were doing so well and just trying to give that extra boost. Now look..

I quickly removed the film and checked ph...6.1 and 6.0. 3 and 2 drops respectively ph down...grab truncheon meter and check ec....0.9 ok (450ppm) all is nominal must have been the film. I topped up the resivoirs with ph'd water and left the tent open a crack to get an i take of fresh air in. I adjusted the fan to blow more directly onto the plants to force current on to hydroton and push some oxygen down there. I may switch to my ceramic airstones as there seemed to be a hell of a lot more bubbles from those aswel as current in the pail. *fingers crossed*

 

[FROSTYNUGZZ]

So...as my anxiety was waay up this am. I had a quick peek at the girls. My previous suspicions seem to be on point. They were looking a lot more happy and lush.

Not quite 100% but a good nap today will cure what ailes them im sure. I forgot in my half state of nostalgia last night to post rootzone pictures. Have they ever blown up.
Jacinda then Molly...are you ready??

Its gonna get a whole lotta more crazy in there believe it.
I willso a quick update later today just for the state they are in and ill come back at you in a couple of days to show development.
Namaste

Wow now that's a shot of beauty!

There perking back up slowly but all and all they look a healthy green still.
I really know shit all about this style of growing I'm a soil guy If it was soil I'd say a bit over watered meaning not enough oxygen to the roots but with this style of growing don't trust what I'm suggesting but I think maybe a 1ml/l dose of H2O2 might help them perk up. That's what I've done and it worked in soil.

I'm hear to learn

Subbed. looking good FROSTYNUGZZ. Are you using a chiller to keep res temps down? That made my decision to switch from DWC to hempy buckets. Things were going great until I turned my back for a couple days came back to an ugly res. I won't go back to DWC until I purchase that one piece of equipment that eliminates the UGLY res. I'll be watching

 

[Pigeons420]

Hydro, that quote in your signature is captivating. It really resonates with me.

 

[hydro1000]

I like use it on the people that continue to argue these untrue facts, then I just get up and go for a haha

 

[StillANoob]

Looking great so far FN, nice clean grow mate

No chiller res temps vary 19-26. I add 20ml H202 every 2-3 days. Worked the first time.

So...now...things have changed...50/50 good/bad. Well ya...heres whats up.
Piper is looking nice. Ill be transplanting her soon into her final home.

Im hoping she does well. Ill be putting her in straight promix soiless mix from our local shop.
I plan on using my remaining gen hydro nutes on her and play around. If she does well...maybe...nah ill wait.

Molly is an absolute heart throb at the moment for me...just beautiful.

Now...this is where it getz tough....Jacinda is not looking too good. I replaced tbe resevoirs tonight and im hoping that the increse in nutes for at 15ml cal/mag. 10ml grow. 7.5ml micro. 5ml bloom. 2.5 ml b-52. 20ml H202 per 13L of water each res. 600ppm.

Kinda looks like a macro nutrient with a cal/mag issue? Idk so hard. First step with this tho is res change. Ph 5.8. In the morning im going to drop the ph to 5.5and see where it is when they wake up. Im hoping they will be around 5.9. Ill try and give a quick update in am as to the condition.

Forgot this one too...just starting on top fan leaves.

 

[FROSTYNUGZZ]

Ok...seems that she liked the new res...ph was 6.0 this am...added 7 drops ph down...retested at 5.6. Fine by me. She has perked right up and hasnt looked this happy in a cpl days. I think i may have to go full strength on nutes. What do you guys think? Ive read that white cookies is a light feeder...but it seems that they want more...at least Jacinda does. Heres how she looked this am.

Im hoping the interveinal Chlorosis/necrosis will temper away in the coming days. Where would you guys have your ec/ppm at this point? Im thinking since i havnt topped before and i technically have a top and a fim that they are needing more as they would be 2 and 4 plants in one respectively? Could explain why molly has faired well? Thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hello again all..i have a little interactive challange for you...pretend this is your "mancave" and you have 100 bucks to spend on it. What would you buy as an addition to it? If i dont get any responses by tomorrow am. March 19th. Keep in mind the lux meter is coming. Im talking anything from nutes to fans and everything in between. I will be grabbing a couple more airstones so dont suggest that. You all have the floor. Look forward to hearing your suggestions.

 

[Pigeons420]

Well my man, I'm all about preparation for the future.

If you're asking this question I'll assume you have the basics. So stick with what you know. What I would suggest is stocking up on materials you'll be using more often or that are reoccurring. For example, pots, pellets, nutrients. It's always nice to have an extra bottle of nutes, ph's, maybe an extra timer or power bar.
Maybe you'll need a new area to grow in for seedlings or for flowering. Maybe invest in making that environment more sustainable or habitable.
100$ can go a long way if it's thought out and used appropriately. But you got this Bro!

Nice pigeons...not a bad idea. My thought train was one of a more substatial purchase, but you raise a solid point there. I like it. I have placed another order aswell...ill wait and let all of your anxieties rise untill the day it arrives...i assure you, it shouldnt be dissapointing. That will be all the major purchases for a while..except for necessities which i may just stock up on. I will wait and see what others shoot out

Looking on the up and up today! Temps 29 canopy and 25 res. RH 39% browning seems to have stopped. Fan leaves have perked up and nodes have come up a tad on jacinda. Molly is tanking foreward....so much so...well.....roots are browning but also in nutrient solution and look ok to me...havnt braved touching them yet. Piper is chillin in a light bath and opening up nicely.

Is that wait! Yup confirmed.....4 nodes incoming! Whoop.!!!

Now this structure here!! Wow im liking it.

This is how the roots are coming along.

As i get in for a closer look on molly...

Suddenly im struck with some inspiration...molly is gonna overtake jacinda at this rate...but what can i do.....luckily...i have a couple tricks up my sleve. I take a long deep breath in...........release............



BAAAAAAAAM!!!

Yup...bifiminized

For what I've read, above 21 C starts the risk of root rot. Are you confident 24+ C water will not generate nasty surprises? Also, how old are the girls now?
