*400watt dwc grow*

Hey all
well after much research and perpetration Ive come to the stage where i can plant my little babies in there new home

system setup

*grow room is 1380mm x 1710mm x 500mm (length ' hight ' width)

*400watt hps light

*110 lph air pump with 8inch air stones

*five 20L buckets four inside the room and one outside witch acts as the res

*220gph pump feeding all the buckets

*150 mm intake and a 250 mm centrifugal exhaust fan (yet too buy a phat filter for it)

I had 6 seeds in a cup of water over 24 hours and then placed them into rockwool inside netpots in the dwc system that was on the 5/6/11 the light is 90cm above the netpots and is doing a 16 on 8 off cycle.

Ive been keeping the ph at round 6.0 too 6.5 and the temp of the water is staying around 51.5f (10.5c)

nutes i will be using are
CANNA veg A n B

ill upload some pics of it all when i get a seed head pop up and say hello

wish me luck

Ryan.

update time
only one sprouted witch is depressing some what but oh well you win some you loose some i guess anywho
She's 6 days old now and seems too be growing quite well.

PH is at 5.8 and staying there the temp problem was due too my faulty temp monitor !

now the temp is anywhere from 71f too 77f ( 20c - 25.5c ) and Ive lowered to light some more too about 60cm from the head of the wee girl and she seemed to respond positively too that

will keep you all posted
cheers
Ryan.

ps. the light timings are 18 on 6 off what i posted first off was a typo

hmm the pic didn't work here goes again



and some of my setup

some new pics of the little one 9 days old
started putting canna vega A and B in the res on friday will slowly add more as she gets bigger
PH is stable at 5.8 temp has jumped up too 80F (27C) my solution to that was a ice cream container ice block seems to be working

everything is going well atm *cross fingers*

cheers
Ryan.

well she's 2 weeks old now

only prob is the leaves are drooping I've searched around on what it could be but cant put my finger on it sense theres so many possibilities :-

(

dose it look bad or am i worrying about nothing ?

cheers
Ryan.

Hey... got an update? I was having similar problem... here's what I did. Better ventilation, let my tap water sit for 3 days before feeding and switched to the lucas formula.

Is that aluminum foil? If so get rid of it.
