Here is the latest picture. As soon as the weekend hits I am going to try and get a 5 gallon (or bigger if I can find one) bucket from Home Depot to change this into. But since I asked about this little gal last time, I emptied all the water (which had been 100% old aquarium water, high in...

Got it, thanks so much again MrGreenFingers!!!

Wow Airwalker16, please do post those charts, that would be a huge help no doubt!!!

I've been using the pH solution from my API aquarium pH test kit, but its a pain having to draw water, use drips, etc. every time, and it doesn't seem to measure below 7, and I know cannabis in a water solution prefers closer to 5.5. Can anyone recommend a good, or at least descent, pH tester...

I very recently began my first grow. I had planned to try and just use old aquarium water, which has a good amount of nitrates, but that does not seem to be working. So I want to get some hydroponics chemicals stat. In another thread MrGreenFingers recommened Mega Grow and Jacks. For Mega...

Thanks so much MrGreenFingers! OK, I am going to order some root simulator and general hydroponic solutions. For the root stimulator, any brand/type you recommend in particular? When you are germinating, in addition to the tap water with a little vitaimin C, do you add anything other than the...

Dang, just looked at the plant again, looking much worse since I changed out the water for distilled water. :( You can see the leaves below are now yellow. So maybe it was NOT nutrient lockout, but it was missing some needed things. Just added just a little bit of that tomato fert to the...

Thanks MrGreenFingers! Yea, I've got a ton of research to do, but learning is half the fun. :) So your way is kind of the way I was doing it, just less professional. When you use tap water, do you use dechlorinator, or don't bother? I'll have to get a root stim (and preferred?), and loot at...

Thanks MrGreenFingers and rkymtnman! My only rationale for keeping it in that smaller container was to make it less noticeable to my girl - I keep it next to the aquarium and she is less likely to focus on it and start asking questions than if I had it in a big 5 gallon bucket. But I will buy...

So, I put some hydtroton on the top of the net cup as Greenfingers suggested, and also put black tape around its base to make sure no light is getting in that way. And fyi rkymtnman, I will get it moved to a 5 gallon, or bigger if I can find it, bucket soon, but want my girl not to notice it...

Thanks rkymtnman! I do have pH strips, and what is an EC meter? I have to find it, but I have some measuring device to measure total dissolved solids in the water. Is that what an EC meter does? pH I should be looking for like 5.5 to 6 correct, and total dissolved solids what number (if that...

By the way, to make sure it is not nutrient lockout, I take it I should also empty all the water out and filled it with distilled water, and leave it that way at least for a few days? Thanks!

Thank you MRGreenFingers 99 and rkymtnman! Here is my thoughts on what I should do. Got it MrGreenFingers, I can do that. My thinking was that I would just transfer the net pot to a similar type set-up in a 5 gallon bucket when the plant grew big enough. Its in a 3" net pot, would I need to...

There is not really much to show in that regarding MrGreenFingers99, under that net cup there is only water and more water. I have both clay pebbles and expanded shale, should I fill up the container with those, then add water? Should I used distilled water to to and ward off any nutrient lock...

Below is a pic of my relatively young plant. It is growing in a rockwool (where I sprouted it) in a hydroponic type set up, in a net cup in a enclosed container with a bubbler. Originally I used spring water, but not too long ago I switched to using old fish tank water, I figured since it had...
