Thanks m8, not a stupid question at all, its Celsius m8, most of the guys from accross the pond use Fahrenheit, all the weather girls from the uk use Celsius so it must have rubbed of on me somewhere down the line

Locked in Strain Hunter,
I dont use the same package as you nute wise so i cant understand why your ph keeps rising and lowering, i use Canna nutes and have had very little if not none problems with this at all.
I see you use the C02 tablets, i've been thinking of using them myself but have been unsure of when and how's best to use them, just wondered how u were using them?
Loving your set up
Peace

Good stuff, glad to have ya on board m8, ive got the Ph sorted now, it was when i was refilling the tank for the first few days of new water it was going up slightly, but not to worry
.Yea the C02 tabs where £15 for 100, i just pop 1 in the res once a week with the rest of my nutes, ive only ever used them once before but with good results.
Im headin to take some pics for a bit of an update ive took 7 more cuttings and the strawberry haze just popped her head out slightly and the H/snow has cracked yeha!

Well whats the crack guys, so whats been happenin recently.... ive been having trouble with some cuttings turning yellow and they where just not healthy at all, so ive chucked 6 in total, 3 as they where males and 3 because they where dieing.
Ive took 7 new cuttings of the healthiest Chronic girl, 6 where cut, diped in Clonex gell and put straight into small rockwool cubes that where soked overnight in a Ph of 5.6 jug of water and the 7th diped in Clonex an put into a clone collar and droped into the system.
I also started to germ 1x Strawberry Haze and 1x Hiawian snow around 48 hours ago, both beens have cracked but the Strawberry haze popped her head out first, ive never growin a sativa dominent girl so im looking foward to the challange.
The chance of having a Christmas Harvest with all my tents full is looking less and less likeley as time marches on.
Heres a few picks of the Strawberry haze, mothers and cuttings "please work this time"
Strawberry Haze uummmmmm.........
My sorry ass cuttings..........
And my mothers.............

Just a quick 1,
The first cuttings i took off the Chronic mothers have been moved out of the propagtor and put in root riot cubes, then into large rockwool.
They where in that dam propagtor for over 3 weeks and no new growth, so ive changed their enviroment.
The 6 cuttings have been put into the veg tent with 1x 400w hps lamp on easy rollers for easy adjustment
.
The temp of the veg tent is around the 26/27 degree mark.
So ill just be hand watering these 6 untill a good root base is established.
Also my spray bottle broke (cheep shite) so im of to grab another few now so i can mist my cuttings and mothers

I like to bend them down and put chicken wire and wood grade over them, then keep binding them over as they come up through the wire........Thats what I do tall plants better then choping on them......less stress.........

Not sure if it's too late, but Bushmaster vertical grow inhibitor might be worth checking out. I used for first 3/4 of my grow. Bag seed. Both the hydro and Phototron plants didn't mind it. Topped Phototron (my version) and the rest of branches stayed manageable.
Hope this helps
I also used NoShock from Advanced Nutrients with AMAZING results add to your soak solution when cloning. Clones spring back quick.
Happy growing bro...
