Ok here is the rest 4 real. I notice some wilting but not really any burn. I have three airpumps hooked to 2 4" bubble disk and one 5" bubbler stick so I dont think its over watering. Any suggestions for improvement is greatly appreciated. I have to shout out to Roseman, Purpdaddy,and BlueyBing for teaching me without teaching me.

Ok here are the stats so far. I have three air pumps hooked to 2 4"air discs and 1 5" bubbler tube. 4 105 watt cfls in 30k, 40k, 50k, and 65k in what i thought would be a great multi spectruim. It sits in a SH bubbleponics system I have wrapped in white insulating duct tape and reflective film on top. I am growing three Whiteberry from paradise and one thai super skunk from G13 Labs which is the youngest as I started is 3 days ago and its doin well with the high nutemix as the others are 17 days in from sprout. I have a window a/c for temp control and it works great. small oscilating fan in closet and I was using SH nutes but now I have Botanicare pro blend with Liquid Karma and Cal-mag which I have alraedy implemented. Please someone tell me what they think of there condition and any tips 4 improvement?

Ok its day 18 and I have added two 23 watt 6500k lights to the back side producing 3200 more lumens on the sides. I did not mention it before but the three whiteberry are feminized and have female characterisitics already. The small skunk is the gamble and it is on day 7 now. I am speaking from sprout when I mention these dates. The roots are all in deep water except 4 skunk which is in the shallow water. Its still shows no sign of nute burn even though its using full strength like the big ones! No one loves me enough to answer yet but If I keep postin maybe they will. Heres the new pics, any input will be salivated over!!!

I put the bottom of the cube about 1/2 to 3/4 inch from the bottom of the net pots. I feel that you want to do this with bubbleponics as it will cause the roots to hit water faster and therefore grow faster. your plants will apear shorter only til the roots hit and then its on believe me. Also ake sure your dont bury the top of the cube til the sprout breaks. Hope that helps.

Ok I have either nute burn or I burned it with the light while lifting the lid to make checks. Any input is please welcomed. I rotate the res. to give the plants different light angles. I have wrapped it in another layer of duct tape this time dark green cause I noticed the side lights where penatrating gthe inside. The Skunk I belive will cathup and even surpass the Whiteberry because its mostly sativa. I have a 5 gal bucket to transplant to when it gets to big. The plants continue to grow leaf sets and are drinking half gal a day. I also rotated the net cups so the direction the plants lean are away from each other allowing for more bushiness. Very smooth so far except for the burn which I am not worried to much over. Opinions?????????

Oh yea I know the dates are screwed with the skunk. I planted it 8 days ago from today and it sprouted 5 days ago. So thats why the first date says 7 and then gos to five. I just messed up the wording and wanted to get that straight. Im a stoner so what do you expect! Please post your opinions. I love criticism. I see that the number of views keeps growin but no posts!! POst or give me rep points or somethin please.

Ok so I have a Problem and it is worrying me. this mornin I woke and found this bubbly film I think from the Ph adjustment stuff from Stealth Hydro. I think I went a little crazy with it. So Immediately followed the 8step recovery guide with hydrogen porixiode and cleaned the tank and added fresh water and nutes. Half now and the other half six hours later. This PH prob started cause I tried my tap water and its ph just tends to build up so this mornin I switche back to distilled and thats where I stay. I have switched to the same nutes as BlueyBong which are the pro gtrow, calmag+ and Liquid karma. They are droopy like they arent getting enough oxegyn but I have three pumps to three airstones. I was misting them with carbonated water and I think that might have done it too. Any advise fro this newbie?

OK so after consulting roseman he was able to determine that I had to much heat from all my lights. They were burning up all my humidity! So I have raised the lights and even put in a new hydrometer just to make sure its not a faulty reading. He says they are a little heat stressed. If this doesnt fix then I will remove one of the cfls till it gets a little older. There is a befroe and after shot of the change.

On day 20 ran into ph flux cause I tried tap water. BAD IDEA! I also was heat stressin my plants. Put 105 watt 30k light away and replaced it with 23 watt 65k. raised lights on top. Solved everything! See pics of improvement and changes. I will add the extra lights when they are more mature.

6:58 a.m.- morning checks
PH @ 5.9
PPM @ 659
Water Temp. @ 71 F.
Under Lights Temp. @ 78 F.

( The morning temps are the highest due to closet door being shut at night decreasing ventilation.)
Rotated Resivor for lighting
Plants consumed 1-2 quarts overnight. The heat stress and ph flux damage appears to have fully faded. ENVIRONMENT is ideal and stable.

(Skipped day 24 in journal)

Morning Checks
PH @ 6.1, adj. dwn to 5.9 stable
PPM @ 690 stable, adding 2-3 qrts day adding 1100 ppm fert. to slowly up PPM.
Under lights temp. @ 79
Res. temp. @ 71
Humidity @ 50%

Growin real good now. I have to adjust the lights daily now. Looking to flower after my smallest plant reaches hieght of 12"-18". It is @ 8 1/2" right now ( Indica, not the sativa)
See pics

Looking good, Keep it up im in week 5 of flower check it out

I really can not wait. I already said this in your thread but your plants look good to. Is Church a mostly Sativa? My little skunk plant in with my Indicas look morelike yours.

I have made some interesting changes.
One more week of veg. and I begin transition to flower stage. I transfered my early vegging sativa to a 5 gallon DWC. I think I pissed her off because shes drooping on me. I will wait for 24 hrs to see some inprovement before starting a peroxide flush. The Indica ladies are lovin life. See pics.
Ph 5.7 Sativa PH 5.8 Indica
Temp 78
Res temps. 70
Humidity 52%

All checks @ stable levels.Skunk transfered to DWC is thriving. 4 days to flower and cant wait. I have built a cloner and will be cloning the skunk. See pics and compare to see growth.

Ive been lazy about this journal so far but plan on changin this. I am almost done with week one of flower and they are all girls as promised and I believe I see the pistil sacs on the thai plant. My tallest is almost 2' and the others are @ 16-18". All have had dramatic growth scince the start of flower. The Sativa is wonderful. I really thought it was done for due to a lamp falling on it and burnin the heck out of it. NO PROBLEM appearently, it responded by growing three inches that night. I like the idea of starting them in the bubbleponics setup and switching them to dwc buckets before the roots get tangled. Thats what happened with the indicas. Next grow I will transfer all of them to dwc. I have put them back in my closet so I can transfer them to my 4x4x7 grow box tent easier which should arrive Wensday. I also have one of those ufo led lights. I am going to use it with my flourescent setup. I havent decide which one to put on top. probably the led scince the flourescents look easier to hang vertically. Does it matter? See time line pics.
