okay so its my first grow, and this is my DWC Setup.
Grow Tent (22 x 36 x 63)
This DWC system: The Original DWC Hydroponic System
600w MH for Veg
600w HPS for Flower
2 air pumps distributed to 6 air stones evenly placed in the reservoir
Conditions:
Temp under lights 75-78 F
Relative humidity 40-45%
Reservoir Temp 68 F
Res. ph fluctuates from 5.7- 6.2
ppm meter broke...
I'm using the Advanced Nutrients SENSI 2 Part Formula, and have been going very light on the nute's for now. I will increase the amount in the reservoir as the plants gain in size but for now I fear adding nutrients will kill the plants.
We germinated 8 seeds in rockwool cubes, they all sprouted and as soon as roots were visible on the bottom of the cubes the cubes were transplanted into hydroton in 3.75" net cups. The water level in the reservoir is maybe 2 mm above the bottom of the net cups. In each net cup i put a layer of hydroton pebbles placed the RW cube on top and filled in hydroton around the cube.
I had the 600w MH lamb about 30" away from the seedlings at first, but one of my babies (who looks small, 3/4" tall, but healthy and has a 1.5 cm root) fell over and although the the color of the leave's seemed right it could not support its own weight. I supported it with a twisty tie but have had little luck bringing it back to life. I suspect that the plant was stretching because the light was too far and have since moved the light to around 18" away from the seedlings. Since moving the light closer the seedling that fell over has not stood up on it's own however, and I am wondering if there are still problems with my set up.
Also, what does it mean if the leave's on your seedlings are turning yellow or light green? I have noticed a yellowish tint on a few of my seedlings leave's and am worried this is some sort of deficiency.
All help is appreciated!!
