So this is day 20 and things appear to be going well.

Feminzed Black Domina and Feminized Big Bud
PPM: 782
PH: 6.0
Air Temp: 82
Water Temp: 70
Two Air flow fans
400w CFL (about to start using a 400w mh)

So things are going along and I am just hoping to get some wisdom from the community. I have 5 pllants in total and they seem to be growing at very different rates. I have one that is growing very quick and looking great. Thee are groing so-so and look like they will produce. Then one sad little girl that doesnt seem to be growing very well. So now I am feeding them with veg nutes. Now for my questions and concerns.

(So feel free to answer some, none, or all the questions.) or just leave me a note. peace)

1. All of my plants are growing a very different rates is there anything I can do about this and is it that big of a deal?

2. Im about to install my new light (400w MH) how far away from the pllants should this light be?

3. How much wind can these little girls take and is running a fan on them a good idea?

4. When should I start flowering? What size, how thick.

5. Still having trouble with algae growth. I have cleaned the nuet tank completely and even started adding a 3% H2O2 as suggested in order to help. But still I see some algae growth.

6. Does anything from my pictures look out of place or wrong?

7. Is it ok to pump my CO2 in throught the water. (I would continue pumping y Oxygen in also)

8.My plants are in rockwool. The larger cubes. they seem to be holding alot of water and I want to be sure that this is not a big problem.

9. My roots are starting to grow in to the nuet solution. Is that ok and do i need to be cautious of anything while they grow into the solution.

They'll grow at whatever rate they're going to, not much you can do.

Circulating air with a fan is a good idea. I have an 80mm fan loosely hanging and I circulates on its own.

I think co2 is best to the leaves but not much knowledge on that.

Your container looks lightproof so not sure how to help there

I am also not sure how often and how much water my girls need

Thanks for stopping in and commenting. Yea i just want to get as much advice as im working through the kinks.

1: genetics
2: far enough where you wont burn them the closer the better....without burning the plants of course
3: i suggest direct wind only during early seedling stages after that point it at the wall, it will circulate and still move the plants lightly but you dont want them concentrating thier growt on the stalk. ligth brezzes are fine
4: that depends on your space, the bigger the plant the more bud. remember they will almost double or completly double in size after you flip (so i hear) bigger the plant the less likely it will completly double in size on flip
5: algae can only grow with light, you have a leak somewhere
6: Pics look great
7: yes, the Co2 is a gas it will float to top and release under the plant.
8: dont know ><
9: im not a hydro guy but i believe the roots are supposed to grow into the resivoir, again no hydro guy maybe a second opinion would be nice.

hope i could help

8.) It could be a potential problem for root rot. Usually you just want to keep those cubes damp and not drenched.
9.) I'm not sure if you were trying a hydro grow or a subculture, but since your roots are in the water you must pay attention to the water very closely because now it is in direct contact with a major part of your plant. Ph for nutes will benefit you 5.5-6.2. temp of course not too hot or cold 70 to 75 degrees farenheit should be ideal.

Suggestions...(if possible)
1.Trade that foil in for mylar
2.put the 400 about 19inches from tops of plants
3.Unless you plan on separating your plants for more room flower early because of limited space. within the next week or two at the latest.
4.)You have a light leak for algae to grow someone stated, you can buy some bacteria for your water thas beneficial to the roots keeps awayroot rot and algae and water temp really is no longer a factor.
(note) if you buy bacteria yucan no longer use peroxide in the water!

Really appreciate all the suggestions and comments. Hoping to hae a good grow here

co2 may float up if released in water but its a heavy gas and will sit under ur plant...if u use it release at the height of ur plant or by a fan so it blows it around...but dont take my word for it...check it out in the forums

Mat, thanks for that tip on #3, I should fix my fan next grow to be able to adjust it.

how the girls doing? u find that light leak yet?

Hey things are doing well. I think im going to get rid of the small one cause I do not want to have to operate down to its level as every other plant is a lot further along. I am still curious to see if im on par or if my grow or if my plants are small.
