It is none of that man,trust me they just need sumthin to hold em up!Plenty of light for now,You just trippin.The color is in the genetics of the strain.They OkReading around it is looking like this:
The pointy leaves, the droopy stem, the redness of the stem, all of them point to these.
-Too much heat
-Not enough light
-Too much water
How is it possible that I could not have enough light? There are 4 6500k and 2 2700k bulbs under that sheild all very close to the plants. Each plant has 2 6500s directly above it and then 2700s are kinda in the middle.
There is no way u have ANYTHING massive with 3-18w 2700k cfls.You enthusiasm at the start was infectious, as soon as i had finshed reading you grow i went upstairs and checked on my babies.
Anway dont worry about the heat that much and get you self a bottle sprayer and spray the cube every two days.
I wouldn't personnally keep the rock wool saturated, keep it damp and dont worry about giving it a squeeze to check, you know when something is damp and when something is soaked.
You have easy enough light, i bought up my first lot on 3 18watt 2700k and they are massive now.
Have a look at getting in to LST (low stress trainning) i know your just starting but it is a good thing to get into with cfl's you will get a lot more yeild, but that is for later down the line.
I am in for the long haul with ya.
went on to a 400 watt hps afterwards i am just trying to explain that he is ok for know.There is no way u have ANYTHING massive with 3-18w 2700k cfls.
Good thing to start with cfls?What OTHER kind of lighting were you using..and its necessary to keep the RW WET so you know the entire RW plug is wet down to the bottom giving the sprout plenty of food to eat,It also needs to be oxygenated(feedertubes delivers highly oxygenated nutes from the res to the plant with air pump and bubble disk/bar)),,even water around it on the hydroton..you really need the hub and feedertubes,,you can get the hub at homedepot to lowes and everything else at petsmart for really cheap
Yea or do that until they roob but u still gotta water em,why not let the feedertubes do that for u.Delivers highly oxygenated nutes to the rootswent on to a 400 watt hps afterwards i am just trying to explain that he is ok for know.
Probably should have kept the rockwool out of the hydroton for now and just sprayed the rockwool
Hell yea bro all you need is a trickle!Well, this surely won't break the bank.
What do you guys think about this one?

Ok now go to petsmart or somewhere where they sell tubing for fish tanks and get that blue or clear tubing..dont need much.Thats it..you gotta AUTO-FEEDER now!Purp, I linked one in an above post. You had me scared that I needed another thing. i ordered the hub and the pump, they should be here by Tuesday!
Day 7
I just checked on my ladies and things look 1/2 good. The left sprout is thriving. It is large, tall, healthy, green as hell, and is starting to produce its second set of leaves. The other, not so much. The other is short, weak, bent, vertical leaves, and some slight yellowing on the tips of the 2 leaves.
Pics are uploading as usual, will post them in a few minutes.
Hopefully when you see the pics you may be able to help me fix the runt =/
Thanks!
I know how you fell mate, the start up cost is ridiculous.Things are tight right now because of the $700 I already have into this.
