Thor's 400w DWC Closet grow

So after talking to a knowledgeable grower I was advised that I must water my plants more often. They have developed slower last few days as a result. I thought since it was hydro I wouldn't have to water after the roots reach the res water. I will keep them properly watered from now on and hopefully they will bounce back. Stay tuned.
 
hope things perk up for your plants man, yeah I try and top my 5gal buckets off each day with water and I make sure some of the filling hits that rockwool, If you paint that res let me know if you see a difference/ how many coats and what not, i have white buckets and I know they need to be black, I could pick up some buckets from the hyrdo store but they are like 8$ a piece. makes more sense to use what I have and make it work I suppose... either way, good luck
 
So i started watering them regularly yesterday and today there is TONs of root activity. Even on the smaller one that had like 1 root it now has like 4 or 5, that are nice and white. The leaves are much greener and full of life. Now I know how to water them so it can only get better from here on out. :)
 
Wow. They are really taking off underneath. The roots coming out of this thing at such a rapid rate. I love it.
 
Everything looks good to me!

I wonder how many people start out this way?

I started my grow with a 400W switchable ballast, an econo wing hood, a small rubbermaid box, some nutrients and 6 clones. We cut a hole in the ceiling to cool the closet down and battled heat the entire time.

Today 4 1/2 months later we have moved out of the closet and I now have a 12X10 flower room and a 5X7 closet dedicated to clone and veg.

My flower room is home to 4 1000W HPS lights 2 8" fans, several other fans, a dedicated ac and so on.

Be careful it's very addictive and will consume your life if you let it.

Those babies are looking much better, those bottom leafs prolly will stay looking like that but those new sets are looking very healthy. Keep it up and keep those nutes stable.
 
ahhh cool, mines sitting around 42% trying to keep it as low as possible, might have to get a dehumidifier to keep the powdery mildew off... someone pointed out that I may have some... :/
