This is my first attempt at Hyro, I switched from soil because people said it was faster and easier. This is what I went with
2 4x4 ebb and flow tables with 2 40gl res.
AN 2 part A,B, carbo load, big bud, bud blood, sensi szym, and bud factor X
Now, ill start with the nutes prices, I spent around $800 for an 8 week flower nutes. So each res change will cost me around $90. I am fucking pissed about the bud blood. If anyone used this product will tell you its like adding cool aid dye to your nice white res. It stained everything. And when I added the carbo load the first time it clumped together like semen in hot water! This does not make for an easy res change. As you will see from the pics im not working with a lot of space.
I followed AN nute chart found on the AN web site, moderate to heavy feeding chart. There is a lot of speculation on how to add and ideal water temperature, im still confused of what is ideal.
1st mistake was not PH balancing the Rockwool. I had 40 clones from 4 different strains which im transplanting from root riot cubs into the Rockwool. The clones have been under 24hrs of light for 60 days. Im not sure if they sat too long which may have weakened them please comment on this issue. But due to the clone height I was told I would only need to veg then for a week then put them right into flower. "I veg under a 400w MH light"
SO thats what I did. The first week called for 1000 ppm of nutes. I added the amounts indicated on the AN chart but my ppms were only 650, so I added more A and B to get the 1000ppm< Is this the correct way to bring up the ppms.
Week one the plants blew up all is well! Im a pot rock star and then some start to show signs of stress in week 2 and im getting crazy ph imbalance everyday. From 5.5 to 6.8 in like 20 hrs. I then pulled water from a Rockwool cube and test it ph was like 7.2 and ppms were like 1300. So I ended up nute burning them in week 2.
Then I come home to find out my lights never turned on all day due to a faulty power strip!!!!!! Not sure how bad this could have fucked them up so please comment. So now im in week for and you can see from the pics that they all look like hell so out of 40 5 are the most unbelievable plants I have ever seen. But they have stopped their vertical growth.
I was trying to revive the dying plants by using AN revive, and nothing helps I want to trash them but until the next batch is germinated im going to try to learn as much as possible so please comment so we all can learn from my stupid ass!
Now the pics i have posted also show the 5 plants that recieved all the same nutes and they are beautiful! This is were my confusion sets in. This loss had to be due to the clone process and how long they sat under 24hrs light, and not vegging them long enough prior to shocking them with the high level flower nutes. What do you guys think?
