Droopy Plant: 911 with pic hi-def

[j.p.s.w]

First was a seed from 2 years.

First planted outside in ground dirt.

First grew 1 inch in one month.

First put in indoor hydro dec 15 2010

2 days later...(click on image link)

Dec 17 2010 I turned off the light for 12 hours.

Heres the low down: its a 1 inch grow plant from the outdoors, put in an indoor system with a seedling growing right beside it.

Specs for week 1

24 hr light

50 w hid

1/8 tsp bushmaster

1 tbsp moondust

bottled water

2 tbspns spray n grow with bottled water applied every 5 mins for 6 hours every other day.

Side Note: So yesterday, dec 17 2010, I checked the ph levels they were at 7.0. To change it I put 1/8 tsp of ph down. ph level turned to 6.5.

Side Note: After the applied ph down, my plant looks like this now...(click on image link)

the plant looks broken-down and shabby. it feels soft still and flexible, and I have rubbed off all the fragile crusty parts of the leaves. stem looks brown and tanning while the roots look brownish golden.

um... don't give it any nutrients and maybe give it 20 hours of light and 4 hours of darkness. don't water it too much. keep it as close to the light as possible without it getting too hot or burned. and pray that it isn't dead already... it kind of looks like a zombie...

 

[j.p.s.w]

changed water

ppm is at 352 right now and ph is at 7.0

re testing ph level

 

[tafbang]

give it like 4-6 hours of darkness after however many hours of light you think is fair to give it. the darkness promotes growth. Keep an eye on it, hopefully in a couple days it will be on track and looking good

 

[j.p.s.w]

alright i will ok okie dokie

 

[j.p.s.w]

Should I keep the fan and the hydro bubbles on while the lights are off?

 

[t0rn]

You'll want to PH hydro down to 5.8.

You'll want to PH hydro down to 5.8.

why? huh? why?

 

[t0rn]

Just a quick copy/paste, but you'll want to do some reading.

When growing hydroponic marijuana the pH of the nutrient solution should be between 5.5 and 6.5. In most cases optimal pH is about 5.8 to 6.2 but this may vary slightly depending on the particular marijuana strain and the growing conditions you provide.
Some growers report good results with pH as low as 5.0 but you should try to maintain 5.8 to 6.2 pH readings for your first few crops. When you gain experience with a particular marijuana strain, you can experiment with pH and see what works best but always make sure to keep the pH between 5.0 and 7.0.
Measure the pH right after you add the nutrient solution to the reservoir, mix well first because the nutrients will change the pH level of the water. When you first start growing, check the pH everyday (or several times a day) and make sure it is within the proper range.

its ok. ph is at 6.5 plant master kush 0002 is in darkness with seedling master kush 0001. going to keep light off for 6 hours, and then more darkness until 5 am with 1 hour of switching from light to dark every 15 minutes until 6 am have lights on until 6pm and switch from light to darkness every 15 minutes until 8 pm and have darkness until 5 am ... repeat. But should i keep the air pump going and the fans?

 

[t0rn]

Pumps and fans should always be running. Why the 15 minute light cycles?

 

[brownbearclan]

Yeah always leave the pumps and bubbles running. 5.8 is where ya wanna be on your ph. It looks like your water level is too high too, might be drowning a bit heh.

ok thanks for the 411. my friends idea to simulate the fluctuations of light as it rises and as it sets.

yeaqh drowning is bad. but bnrown, should I have the roots in the water or keep them away from water but near or in something moist?

 

[tafbang]

keep your fan on low. and if it's one that can turn and shit. do that so you can blow on the plants from different angles and strengthen them better. if not. just maybe rotate the pot every now and then so they just don't get blown at in 1 direction their whole life

changing the fan is like changing wind cycles?

the reason this happened is because u yanked it out soil, shocked the crap out of it and it has never recovered.start again but this time in rw cube.

That thing looks like shit, seriously throw it away.

 

[j.p.s.w]

@ ants lol

@ buds, yeah your right man..

to everyone, imnot giving up on her. its 12/12 light fornow until I see recovery.
