pic taken on 9-30-11 humidity was very hi in box.also bubbler was only bubbling under the northen and lemon had to get bigger air stone.



fix the humidity problem by raising the lights up higher until i get 2 more fans

The strength of your nutrient solution. Often measured in America in terms of PPM (parts per million). Do you have any way to measure that??

What do your roots look like? Advanced Nutrients is a rip off in my opinion. Why spend so much money on nutrients but not the equipment you need to grow properly??

If you give the plant good temperatures, lighting, ventilation, enough (not more than enough) nutrients, pH...and it has good genetics, it will reward you.

pH and PPM is the keystone of hydroponics. that should be your first priority.. never fertilize your seedlings until cotelydon falls off. you need more lighting. preferably HID than CFL
