dude wtf...quick q&a ++rep

from seed yoiu wnat no less then 8 nodes before flowering and HID light.If this is a hydro setup(even soiless) you have to know the ph and ppm or your done growing as those are the main points of these grows. Soil helps to no but hydro drip aero flood have to know ph and ppm in order to grow the plants..85 with no co2 your stressing the plants especially at such young immature ages. No co2 gotta keep it aroundf 75-78 ish with co2 80-85.Stress from transpiration stops the plants at 80 F if not supplimented which means the plants do not eat or drink right its like a heart attack for plants

https://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=faq&cmd=article&id=81 explains what a ppm read is. I got mine online for cheap.

your ppm is whatever your nutes makers feeding chart says they vare each week of growth and chnage according to your time of growth. Parts Per Million is the measurments of the nutrient particles per million in the solution. It chnages each time you mix your nutes and in hydro you check them daily to see what levels they are and top off with water if they rasi higher as the plant is thirsty and drinking mnore. If they drop low then your plant is hungry and can be boosted next round. You ideally want the planst to drink and eat in unison and then you know your on point. Check ph daily 5.5 in aero hydro flood drip 5.8 and in sopil usually in the 6.5-7 range depending on the soil mix.PPm levels are all different depending on week and nutrient makers charts

from seed
fromseedling to about 1 foot under flros
then to a 400w mh...
germing with paper towl
they get feed 2 times a day lights on and lights off
day temp78to85
night 70
no clue what the ph is..

I see that Fletch is on the case. Coolbeans for you. And by the way you answered my ?s. Ph is the thing you have to check. Its the little things and ph is HUGE! It can be ok for some nutes, but off for others. Leading to lockouts for others. Listen to Flecth, I have followed his posts. He knows what he is talking about.

Mind explaining what you made your drip system with? What size pump etc.... I've been wanting to make something similar.

Males happen man, it's just part of growing from seed. It's a bad day when you can't get males from seed really. True males mean the seed was pollinated by an actual male not a hermie. Once you finally get a good female, clone her so you don't have to fight it anymore!

my homemade drip system:storeage bin 4$,cheapest pump i found at lowes 20$,some pipeing and {Ts} about 10$
drip heads one gallen an hour like 5$
i didnt like those heads so i got fully adjustable ones they were like 5$ as well.and some river rock....i started in those peet pellets you can get 72 of them for like 6$ i use a bucket for a res..i think that is it if you have any more questens let me know....if i haved helped you dont forget to +rep..........thankx

What kind of pump is it though? I have a few lying around but they probably pump too much water too fast. I've been debating on making it a drip system for my small cabinet or just making a small flood table.

Just was reading some more here didnt know you use peat pellets that could be an issue maker too as those are not very good and tend to hold way to much moisture and can root rot and drown young plants especiailly in ahydro type setup.. Avoid peat anything for the most part in most grows but especially in dro as its not worth the troubles. Use rockwool or rapid rooters premade

its for a little fountian....you can get adjustable drip heads....or you can run the house from your pump and put the line across your plants and put your own little holes in it.......what do you know about green flies?
