Looking good dude, and by the way
Some people change the amount of posts per page (including myself) so saying something is on page 2 might confuse some. I have 40 posts per page so I am still on page one of your journal

A'ight Sir Nasty, here's the pics... These NL's are all on day 3 from Clone. The back Left, Far Right and Front Left all each have 2 main that'll each produce it's own independent cola. The other three are normal. I'll FIM all of them today, hopefully getting an average of 4-5 cola producing shoots per plant. Also adding 2 more T5's today which I'll later clip to the hood in addition to the T5 supplemental lighting that you see in there. I'm not running the HID as of yet, I'll probably start to run 12/12 in about 10 days after the FIM. With a dry run of 48 hrs, my temps didn't dip below 65 at night, and stay between 70-75 during the day with the RH staying between 38 & 45%. I dig this setup a lot... Now I'm antsy to see it produce!!!

Nice Pics dude! They look nice n' healthy...do you have updated pics?

Okay guys - I just took pictures of my girls. They're now at 16 days under light (18-6). They look great except for the Himalayan Gold (small), and the White Widow is starting to droop a bit. My temps are steady around 78-82, PPM at 250ish, and PH between 5.7-6.1 depending on the day. My Lemon Haze & Lemon Skunk are going PERFECT so I dont want to make any huge chages!

Pics below!

hey guys

Based on the pics above do you think I have anything to worry about? Im not sure if a few droopy leaves towards the bottom of the plant are a big deal. Things seem to be going great in terms of overall growth, and most plants are showing any signs of droopy leaves.

Thanks for any help

Naw they look fine to me.

Remember all of these plants use the same nutrients. If at any point you have one go sideways but the rest are fine, then dont treat it by changing the res. Use a foliar spray.

rainforest good for cuttings dunno bout going full grow with one tgh. multiple strains is also making things hard on yourself as diff starins like diff nute strengths. do you know what temp your nutes are? just a few things to consider if you have any other specific questions shoot

have you noticed a difference in growth speed going from dirt or soiless to water culture?
is it a noticable difference?
so i bought a 5 gallon dwc bucket for big plants. my problem is i get how it works, but i have no idea how or in what you germinate a seed to go into a hydro setup. can you shake the dirt off the roots of a plant in promix? could ya wash the roots get rid of the crap then toss it into a dwc?
any ideas on how i start my plant for the bucket is greatly appreciated

Hey man thanks for stopping by :peace:

I've noticed a HUGE difference in grow speed. I came online just now to post an update. I've noticed huge growth over the past 48 hours. The thickness of my stems has gone from the thickness of standard Nail to standard pencil in 48 hours. A third and fourth set of leaves has formed, and the roots have made it from hanging a inch or two above the water in the RES, to 2-3 inches IN the water.

The constant flow of air on the stems from inside the tent has DEF helped make my stems strong. I know this because the plants closer to the fan first developed thicker stems, followed by the others once I rotated my unit.

I'm not sure if I should be ajusting my Nute solution anytime soon. Based on my NUTE Calendar, I think they are at their next stange of growth. Since growth has been steady lately, I dont really want to make ajustments when nothing is wrong.

For help with a unit similar to the General Hydroponics Rainforesr (what I use) you can drop me a PM and Ill do what I can to help you out. To be honest there are tons of people in the hydro section that know more about than I.

I germinated my seeds in paper towel, then grew them from this unit directly. Its great for seedlings & cutlings, and a great system to take the plant all the way to completion. The one knock I would have is spacing between sites. Things will get cramped inside my tent, so I may just grow them to medium size before harvest.

Good luck dude and feel free to subscribe n' come along for the ride!

Ill post pictures of my TREE TRUNK stems later tonight yo

Oh yeah, one more thing... THEY"RE STARTING TO SMELL! Why so soon?!?! You woulnt know by standing up above them, but once you put your head close to the tops of the leaves they STINK!

My airfilter should do the job for now, but I may invest in something else for added security. Suggestions?

I just checked on the girls - that droopy plant seems to be getting worse, while the others seem to be going great.

The first two pictures show the droopy plant, and the other shows the other healthy plants.

- Heat (75-82) on 16/8

:shock:

Any thoughts? Thanks guys

I took your advice and double checked my PH. My test strips said I was in the 5.5-6 range...but since I've had wilting on two of six plants, I thought a better PH meter is worth the investment.

After testing on 2 meters, my PH is perfect.:?

My temps are great, I have a light "wind" over the tops of my leaves, my PPM readings are perfect considering my nute level (mild growth - stage two of my schedule)

SO WHY ARE MY PLANTS WILTING?? I honestly cant figure it out guys. 4 of my plants are growing BEAUTIFULY ... yet two are wilting badly.

I also thought it could be genetics...but the 2 strains that are wilting are NOT related (White Widow, Super Lemon Haze)

Any other thoughts?

hey guys -

So a did a humidity test - it was at 15%.... Could this have been causing my plants to wilt and curl down?

I went out and boughta humidifier, it is now at 45%...hopefully this helps...
