Re: My first growre grow
SS, boxpipe...thanks for the replies.
I took that pic just prior to watering. They were transplanted on Tuesday, from soil in 12oz plastic cups, to 10 litre Hempy buckets.
They were cloned about 2 weeks ago, and the roots weren't that extensive, but they were healthy.
I'm told that the plants look like $hit until the roots make it to the resevoir of water at the bottom of the bucket.
They were a little limp like this day before yesterday, and then perked right up with water....so I watered again after the picture.
No nutes this time, just PH'd RO to about 5.8 and added CalMag, which I'm going to add everytime I don't do nutes.
I'll be watering daily until the roots get to the bottom. I understand the growth is so dramatic once they get there it's unmistakable. Then, I'll water every 2 -3 days.
The plants are about 36 inches below a 1000watt hortilux MH....
My next project is getting the Co2 up and running. Hopefully this weekend or early next week.
+1. I love seeing other people's setups.
Agree with SS, that looks like over-watering or under-watering.
Also, how far is your lamp from the plants?
edit: also, how long ago were they cloned? You got a lot of leaf there. Might not have the root system to support them. (honestly I don't know much about clones)
