Looks good Hulk...looks like you and I are around the same stage in our first grow. different hodgepodge of gear though. It will be interesting to compare notes as we go. I am growing some bagseed that turnes out to be indica. What are you growin?

thanks, same boat as you got them from my sak one huge nug 9 grams 5 seeds in it nice smell nice smoke i had to grow them i am just not sure what they are?? ill check out your grow

 

[Hulk Nugs]

alright not sure what to do i posted a thread about ph levels in another room and got nothing, im not sure how long it been going on or even how its happening but i know its hurrting my girls, i check my ph levels in the morning before the first feeding of water and the ph level was agian 6.6 ph grrr same as yesterday morning when lights came on,i am using ph up and down to correct the problem once i see it 5.8 i set it to, they are three weeks old so i dont know if this has been happing since day one i didnt have a good digital reader before so it lookd like the ph was fine guess not, well the big question is how is this happening whats causing it and what can i do so i dont have to ad ph up and down every morning. thanks guys and gals looking forward to read what you say.

Just a guess cause I dont do it the hydroponic way but are your Nutes causing your ph to go up. When I add my nutes to water I always check the ph before putting it into the medium. I also got nutes that were ph nutral. I an using General Hydroponics Floranova Grow.

 

[Hulk Nugs]

Hmm they might be not to sure, i only put nutes in twice first day 11/18/08 and last monday when i switched them to Aqua Flake switched all old water with fresh and added new nutes.

Hey have had my plants on a drip system from day one and i noticed that all my tubes are getting realy nasty, and my pump is messing up my feedings. so for now im going to switch to manual watering untell i can take apart my system and switch it out. My plants are around 4 inches tall 3 inches wide they are around 3.5 weeks old, how much water should i feed them and how often ?>? i just gave them a 1/4 of a cup of water 5.8 ph with nutes two days before that they did not get any water. I saw the leaves were drooping so i thought they might have been waterd to much so i gave them two days off and started like i said with only a 1/4 of water this morning.

hmm just was thinking, when my sprouts poped i had the lights way to far away so they streched realy bad pic below, so i put them in pots, i put like a 1/2 inch of pellets then my rockwool cube then filled the pot with pellets to the top of the pot, so my rockwool cube is on the bottom and my plants are getting bigger well hahaha sort of 4 inches right now, my questions is should i transplant them to a bigger pot or a waterfarm/bubbler ??? i read somewhere that if the roots are on the bottom its not good for the plant. and since my cube is on the bottom i think that might be one reason my plants look the way they do at this time. im all ears let me have it!

Wish I could help dude I went with soil or (soilless mix) because it seemed a lot less equipment to buy and alot less complicated. Im not an expert but what I have read if the plant droops and slows growth if it is over watered or underwated. I dont know how could tell which with hydroponics setup. With soil I know its time to water when the soil is dry a few inches down and the pot feels light. Right now I water once every 4 or 5 days also I water till it comes out of the drain holes in the pot. No measuring required. I have read that plants like the medium to dry up periodically.
