I dont know much, but it looks from they are suffering from a bit of overwatering, although i dont know how you can fix this in a hydro setup, for I am a noob when it comes to that.

I think I have solved that over watering. My biggest has grown 2 inches since yesterday. still watering with no nutes twice a day. lights about 18" from top of tallest and staying around 75F. Gotta get some bloom nutes soon and a ppm meter. Here they are day 2 into flower.

When I tranplanted these into the 6x6 cubes, I had 1 left that came with the cab. and 8 new ones. I only watered them once yesterday and woke up to these. I got rid of the only one suffering from overwatering (I think) and it was the one in the old cube. I guess this is a lesson that all rockwool is not the same so use similar cubes. I wanted to get rid of one anyway because the uptake on my ebb n flow was being blocked off causing me to hand water for a while. eight is perfect for my system. No preflower signs yet.

I don't understand the watering issue? I thought it was a hydro set up?

 

[JonnyBlunt88]

Everything was good down stairs, watering 3 times a day with the auro setup. Brought them up and vegged for week still at 3x a day with the ebb n flow. Thats about when some leaves started drooping and getting wrinked. There all very green so its not the nutes or the light. I changed it to 2 and there looking good with some permanent damage. Nothing major. Better pics coming once they wake up.

So why watering with ebb n flow? You've lost me dude.

 

[JonnyBlunt88]

once I bring them up to the top flowering chamber,(when they outgrew the bottom veg. chamber) the set up is ebb n flow, not auroponic. Its what the system came with. I continued to water 3x a day once I brought them up and put them in 6 inch cubes. It Should have been 2 x a day, because the bigger cubes retain more moisture. I didnt provide pics of the basic ebb n flow setup so you probably figured I had a drip system like yours. Let me give you some better pics once they get up and maybe you can tell me what exactly happened to some of the leaves.

 

[JonnyBlunt88]

Here is what I am talking about. They are all thriving now, but these are what some of the leaves look like. I figured this twisting of the leaves was due to overwatering because it stopped now that Im watering only once a day. I had also noticed that this happened on the fourth node fan leaves on all 8 plants, so its obvious when I made the mistake. This is the worst leaf which isnt bad, Im just wandering if excess water did cause the leaves to fold. I took all the rocks off of the tops and sides of the rockwool. Hopefully it will help water drain a better. I gotta get a new cam.

I have started using a two part flower nute at a week into flower now. They are getting real bushy. I could tell the difference a day after using the nutes. they all grew half an inch the first night. Still no signs of sex, so maybe I got lucky. The center front one is 6" and working on its 9th node.

I have been debating back and forth over buying this model. To those posting... it does come with a filter and the advertisement does say that the exhaust fan sounds like a small A/C running when on. I will be curious to learn about what kind of yield you obtain. By the way, a 400 watt bulb will cost about $30 at lowes.

Shop around some more. All the cabs on supercloset just went up. My model went up $200. It did not look like it came with any thing new either. Anyway, ill let you know how it turns out. If you are thinking about getting it, I can answer any questions you have.

Check out sunlightsheds.com they have some pretty cool cabinets.

lookin good bro..nice misting aeroponic cloning system u got there..

HOW MANY GPH IS THAT misting PUMP?????!?!?..not the ebb and flow pump

im thinking about making a cloning system right now out of c-pvc, a FUN noodle, Rez, and 360*misters ..check it out ...heres what i drew up.

 

[JonnyBlunt88]

Wassup Kush. The setup is like auroponic, but it does not mist. The red Nozzles you see act like sprinklers and shoot out water in streams. I think it is better than misting and all the parts can be bought cheap at hydroshops online. Dont know how many gph, but it does not require a big one. It is actually one of the smallest ive seen, works perfectly.

Well I woke up this morning to see pistils on four of these babies. I am hopeful now for the rest because I have not seen any signs of males. All 4 girls have more purple on the stems then the rest. two of them are my best looking plants and the other two are my worst plants. O well, I got girls. 4 out of 8 so far is not bad.

I also want to take the two bottom internodes from each as clones, but they are less than two inches. I know this was due to early-flowering, but Ill just wait another couple days. I am hesitant to take the cuttings and just let them flower. I can afford to do this because of my seed collection. I want to take a poll on which I should go with. Here are the seeds, all from BC Bud Depot: White Widow, which seems to be the most popular on this site. Sweet Dreams(femenized), which no one has ever heard of, but its femanized. The last one is Northern Lights, the only one besides BB that ive grown. Those are the candidates so what do you guys think?

 

[flametop]

Great to hear you got girls to play with!
Absoulutely smashing cabinet that should set you up for some glorious buddage

 

[JonnyBlunt88]

Thanks flametop, if you come back let me know which seed you want to see next.

 

[JonnyBlunt88]

Ive gathered some good information on cloning, and decided its time. I have started soaking some rockwool, and its only a few hours until they wake up. It will be day 9 of flower, so the internode branches I plan on taking dont have pistils on them. I figure they might take a few days to revert to a veg. state, but I must take them now before its too late.

I plan on only taking 2 each from my 3 best females. I will cut the bottom internodes from each almost at the base. they are all around 2 inches long with 2 healthy sets of leaves, working on their third. I will use the cloning gel, humidity dome, and heat mat that came with my closet. I hope this works out well

 

[flametop]

gud luck with the cloning dude. I did a bit myself tonite. With the broken arm on my lowryder#2.
I just used what i had at hand, some perlite, vermiculite and rooting compound.
I reckon the branch was on the way out,
so it is a last throw of the dice really!

 

[JonnyBlunt88]

Thanks Flametop, My girls just woke up. I got one more so that makes 5 out of 8 so far. Very nice. Like I said, I would be taking clones. The operation was a complete success, so far. Who knows if they will hold on. Hopefully this does slow the budding process of the mothers. well see. Here they are. I covered them with a dome so they should be ok.
