Hi, Please help someone. I did my research but we all know book smart dose not compare to know how.

Here is my setup 6 x 2 ( closet )

I made a aeropoinc system with 6 pots. Its a 30 Gallon case but only am using 5 gallons to pump. The system is set to 1 min on and 4 min off.

Lights - 400 watt about 24 inches from the clones - has been running for 24 hours straight. The clones are still small but I'm not sure if its too much light thus far? or the cycle I should do.

Nutrients - I have added a TSP for each gallon of Vita Grow Part A,B, and C. Also I made a spray of Fox Farm grow big and Superthrive ( mixed half cap (Grow big) and about 6 drops (superthrive) into a 750 ML spray bottle. ( spray them like 3 times a day )

Air - I have a 60 air pump with two 12 in. air filters attached. It runs 24/24. I have 2 fans running 30 min. every 1 hour. One by an open window and the other in the closet.

I have had the clones for about 4 days now and they don't seen to be growing or looking any better then when I first got them. Like they are drying and burning ?




PLEASE HELP !

Just noticed a little bit of browning (not much) on the roots...
Disconnected the AG pump immediately...

Will things be ok since I caught it so soon?

BTW...
I have 2 airstones running...

The brown has started to fade away since I turned off the AG pump...

I've also noticed that the "Short Ryder" strain from Nirvana (-_-) is growing slow as shit...
Maybe it was getting overwatered?
Since I turned the pump off though, I've noticed a little new leaf growth and the roots have gone nuts...
Just a slow ass strain I guess...

well those strains generally stay really short, are you using the right light cycle?

i kno the auto flowers need light at like 20 hours a day or something

oh ok, well the auto's are weird to begin with, so you usually get random results, hope it works out

Thanks for the words of encouragement...

I'm so frustrated with the little fuckers, that with knowing what I've read about the shit Short Rider strain, I went ahead and put them into 12/12 to start the flowering process and get this shit over with...

Going to spend a bit more and get some Lowlife Auto-Blueberry and Auto-Diesel next time...

not too sure you, you need airstones in your AG's anyways, so if you haven't, i would get them hooked up in that you will need to turn off the pump anyways, maybe just ut the other plant in the white on for now until you fix the problem

this is from the first post....
Suggested Supplemental Materials
Air pump/tubing - Any aquarium air pump will do. Any kind of tubing that fits your pump and airstone is fine.

Airstone - I would go for the longest airstone you think you can fit in your res, I have fit a 10" airstone in my Pro 200. (see useful info section)
