well i was needing you guys help like crazy with this "bubbleponic setup"..so i ended up shutting down the bubbleponic and went and spent like another grand and brought a 3 x6 ebb n flow system that will be my flowering room and i now have my PLANTS in DWC buckets and will keep them as mothers and i will be doing SOG from hear on out...i dont know what i was doing wrong with the bubbleponic setup,but it just wasnt working for me..i was doing everything right and would do it again 2 or 4 days later to make sure they stayed at the levels they were suppose to (going through so much solution,it was ridiculous)..i honestly think that the "blue 6 gallon tank was to light in color and covering it with something to block light is important.that was the only thing i didnt do,so i said let me just see something and decided to put all my plants in my DWC buckets(2 out of 4 are female so far,tossed 1 and 1 is looking like female,but gonna give it a lil more time to be sure..i see hairs but they are really short in length).now 1 out of the 2 i "I.D'ed" as female has been stripped naked..i mean she is bald..the reason she is naked cuz right b4 the transplant to DWC she was dying..like all lower leves were completely dead..im thinking to let her go and start new mother for that strain (ppp),but the min. i put them in DWC they took off,the ones that are cut at the bottom were the ones that were going through all my RIU problems (gnats and so forth),the 1 in RIGHT back has started to comeback nicely..i also figured out something that works well for me..as we know dealing wit hydro your PH can go up after a day or so (well at least it was for me,because i under nute so i wont go over,cuz like they say its better to under than to over..so when my ph raises,i would bring it down with my grow nutrients (in this case "foxfarm grow big") every other day or so and ph it normally in btwn (so if i topped on monday and by wed. the ph went up..i would bring it down with grow big and by fri. i would just ph the water)..mannn,by me doing this my YOUNGEST plant took off (back left at 4 weeks).im really loving DWC as a newb because i can actually do my own thing with one plant (as far as seeing what they can and cant take) without interrupting anybody else SWEET!!..so without further a do...the new setup
P.S. FORGIVE IF PICS ARENT THAT GREAT,IM STILL SHIFTING SHIT AROUND IN BASEMENT SO I DIDNT HAVE GOOD ANGLES TO SNAP FROM
