First Ever Grow(DWC) Lemon Skunk

Might i add ive thrown myself in at the deepend here, so i may need some expert advice throughout

Firstly, let me start by saying this forum has inspired me to grow and helped me trumendously, thank you.


Beans: 5 Lemon Skunk Feminised.(1 in soil 4 in hydro)
Grow Area: 3" x 6".
Germ Type: Paper towel method
Grow Medium: Hydroton
Light: 600Watt MH & HPS for flower
Nutes: Holland Secret 3 Part


The first thing to do was to germ the seeds using the old paper towel method



100% Success Rate on these beans

The next thing to do is to place the beans in Root Riot cubes (might i add these things are fantastic) and wait for some roots to develop.



At that point in time they were under a 150watt CFL with just water.

They were left around a week to get some root power and then transfered into the Hydro system.



the PPM for these are currently at 400...and the ph is at 6, do these figures seem to be ok so far? Hope someone can confirm!

And ive got to add that the photo above was taken after a week in the system.

more photos will follow as problems arrise (hopefuly not) and as the ladies mature.

In the meantime, i have this to keep me busy.

Could anybody explain to me what the drop in PPM and PH means and what they mean the other way round etc?

Thanks!

One of the plants is doing significantly better, wonder why ?

Also some of the others seem to be deformed (see below) anybody know why this is?


Will keep this updated!
