Yeah i just treated the sick ones w/ cal/mag. What does Strawberry haze taste like?? Where did you get them ?

I just also got some salt-build up remover. I will flush the plants with it every 2-3 weeks to remove build up of salt. Never heard about it until I went into the Hydro store today :)

What do you think is up with the super purply colored one I have??? It's crazy all my plants look different.

sweet grow. Good start. Couple things I noticed you might look into. PH fluctuation make plants go whacky till a full 2 weeks of steady PH. The term back to basics helped the most. Have you calibrated the PH meter lately? From factory set mine was almost a full point off until I used the calibration fluid to dial in the meter.

I like soil so it could be different. Being new we almost always want to help the babies along with over nutes. Helping out with all the so called missing def. with nutes. We overdo it to correct. Until I stopped making regular changes and let the weed do it's own stuff as young plants did I see success. Spots could easily be the nute burn splash. I also had to stop spraying water on the plants in light because it almost always burned them. Someone mentioned outdoor plants have clouds to cover the sun in rain so they don't burn. Sounds logical to me.....subscribed and caught up!

My problem right now is the PH/PPM meter is confused by the light/blower being on the same switch. I need to calibrate it again with all the shit turned on. I'm NOT too worried though becuase I have been testing the PH out of the plants with my ph test kit..seems to be between 5 & 6 still. I have not upped any nutes or anything, but do need to get the PPM meter working bc I think they are at about 1200ppm. I also only added the Cal/Mag to the sick ones...see if that makes a difference and if it makes them worse I know not to put it on the others.

I only spray with lights off, right before lights go off. They seem to thrive from that.

I used to think the spots on my tallest plant (growing about 1 inch/day now!!!!!!) were from nute burn, which I think the lowest leaves had it....but NOW i dont think so because it is happening on all the leaves where I didn't even get water. I am SO careful.

Thanks for the reminder to keep it simple--that is a life motto i'm forgetting :)

K I've heard WONDERS about Superthrive, so everyone should try it! My babes are really green and looking good. Here's some good pics. The ones that I uploaded just prior are pretty good too...they are soaked and gorgeous :) not trying to brag!!!!!!!!!;-)

The sick few are jealous of the greenies but still lookin fine!

I want to see your babes. Mine are officially about 3 weeks (the smallest ones) and 4-5 weeks the largest. They are really just starting to get bigger now that they have been transplanted and in a bigger space w/ better nutes. Lets compare Tile:eyesmoke:

Hey bluberry, made it through the journal, glad it's not too long. Anyways, earlier I told you it would be ok to have the meter on the same strip with the other stuff. I didn't realize the other stuff was getting turned on and off... that could mess things up. It did with mine, it would turn my meter on and off and make it act weird. I would have to unplug the meter for a little bit then try again... and I have a HANNA meter too, not the same model, but yeah...

other than that I still don't now if I understand your hydro set up... however with the construction and hydro setup, when you get things dialed in you are going to be in serious business... that is a killer set-up.

:bigjoint::bigjoint::bigjoint: yay, 420 :bigjoint::bigjoint::bigjoint:

I'll get it dialed in soon.

The 6 inch rockwool sit on a table that the water just flows down w/ gravity. The rockwool sit ontop of 1-2 inches of hydroton inside the pots. The rockwool helps to keep nutes inside the roots. There is a drain at the one end of the table that lets the water go into the 10 gallon resivoir. The water pump pumps the water back up into the drip, or continuous flow spouts. The spouts go into each rockwool block, about 2 inches down, and water the cubes from the inside out. I water like 1x/day so far. I think the droopiness is from overwatering maybe.

Thinking about placing the pots ontop of rockwool slabs.

Does it all make sense now? The room is 10x10, and I have intake/outake fans.

I do think I get it now... but that doesn't seem like ebb&flow to me... it doesn't matter what it's called, I get it ok.

I don't think you want to put down more rockwool if they are getting droopy. I have seen people who fill their tables with hydroton, that doesn't stay as wet as rockwool, but still moist, and it will cover the roots from the light, when they get really long. Is this the same set up as your friend has? Like I guess I mean is it 'exactly' like your friends, or have you made some alterations?

How long a time do you run the water, when you do water them? And do you have any idea how much water (volume) is being sent to the girls when you do water them?
