Hey, Loco! Thanks for checking my journal out. Yea, I figured the autos would be a good first step into hydro because of how simple they were to grow. I don't have a pH meter yet, just using the cheapie test kit. Most of my money went into the light, so I can't get the other good stuff yet.

Thanks for comment, MacDonald. I will definitely be keeping closer tabs on my pH. I was only checking it with every reservoir change, but now I will do it every day. I won't put them on 12/12 because they're autos, but I did switch the lights to 18/6 today to give them a little rest.

Haven't had a pH problem today. I still have no idea what could've caused yesterdays spike. They have been watered twice since yesterday, once at 4am and once at 12pm. I checked the pH after each watering and it was still at 6.0. Any ideas?

My oldest plant is now 13 days old, the others are 9 days and 8 days. Do I set my schedule around the younger ones or the older one? While, I want the smaller two to catch up to the biggest, I also want the biggest to start budding as soon as possible. I'm assuming I'm supposed to go by the...

Hey, Cheddar. Good looking plants, and nice journal so far. I just started a journal last night of my auto AK after being inspired by yours and a few others I have seen on here. My oldest is 13 days now, so I'm a little behind you. I'll keep watching your posts and hope everything goes...

Thanks for the welcome, Loco. I actually did start a grow journal last night after reading through yours and cheddar's posts. Here is a link to it, any advice you or anyone else has would be much appreciated :weed:. https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/181727-automatic-ak47-grow.html

Good looking plants, man! I'm growing some auto AK right now, too. I'm a bit behind you, though (my oldest is only 12 days). I'll be watching your grow and hope mine goes as smoothly. Good luck!

Here are some more pics of seedlings 2 and 3 after I misted with fresh pH'ed water. There's also one of the stem of seedling 1, it has a reddish tint to it at the base. Is this resin?

Well, it seems like I'm having a pH issue. I checked it earlier today, and it was high(between 7.0 and 8.0). I pH'ed the water to 6.0 and went to work. Six hours and one 8 minute watering later, I check the pH again and its back where it was! What could be causing this? I was misting with...

What could be causing the leaves to grow like this? Only the first set of leaves appear to be angled, but I don't want that to be a sign of things to come for the rest of the plant.

Here are the most recent pics of my plants(today). The first one is 12 days old and about 3.3cm, the second is 8 days old and almost 2cm, and the third is just 5 days old but just as tall as #2.

Any help you could throw my way would be much appreciated :mrgreen:.

Here are some more pics of the babies. These are seedlings 1 and 2 at age 7 days and 3 days respectively. After a week of just water, i added nutes to the reservoir at half strength.

Thanks for the well wishing! It's a simple drip system I built out of a Rubbermaid tub. It has a 130gph water pump, airstone, and 2gph drippers. Oh, and there's some pet grass growing also.. it keeps my cat away from the important plants..

So, I planted my first seed on 3/26/09, the second on 3/31/09, the third on 4/2/09, and the fourth on 4/4/09. Here are a few pics of the first seedling age 4 days.

Okay, so I decided to start a journal of my latest grow. This is only my third go round, but my first grow with a REAL light source, so I'm excited to see the difference it hopefully makes. Anyway, I'm growing Automatic AK47 in rockwool with General Hydroponics nutes(3 part not advanced...
