Fuck it I transplanted them. Didn't even have to cut a single net pot. Didn't hurt the roots coming out but may have bent or maybe broken one or two putting them in the big block. Omg was I nervous. Still am. I have the water right beneath the net pots. Hoping to make the roots go search down for water. I'm soooooo nervous. We'll here are pics... I added all my nutes before putting them in the res. I also ph'd the whole system to 5.5-5.8. It was kinda hard to get them all at the same PH. Kinda worried later on this will be a problem. I also put my 1000w raptor hood up... On my nanolux ballast... I'm running a eye hortilux 1000w MH bulb. I will be watching the PH like a hawk for the next couple days. In my clones the PH stayed pretty steady. But in the clones I only had 200 PPM's in it. In my system and res now I have about 350-400 PPMs. Going to stay there for a little while.

Now my PH is rising like crazy. I think it's either chlorine or my rockwool. It's driving me nuts. Ire been 3 days now since tranplant. It only rises. It's not the temp. I know that. Help. Please
Ok got it stabilized. I think it was the rockwool... But as soon as all the roots popped out the big block the fluctuation stop too. Maybe connected or just the roots. Anyway, new growth has really taken off and the roots are becoming more frequent. All the plants now have roots popping out the big block rockwool. As for the new growth really amazing. Even though it's a little at a time. A little is better than nothing if you see how and where this clones have been.... My PPMs are at 400-450 and my ph stays pretty steady rising only a little throughout the day. But I keep it at 5.5-5.7. Then let it drift to maybe 6.1. They say the plant takes up different nutrients throughout the 5.5-6.2 range. Any though? Sent from my iPad using Grasscity Forum
Yea brotha really starting to take off. Super excited about the days and weeks to come. Sprayed them tonight with some House and Garden Magic green. Hopefully in the morning I'll have some deep green leaves. PPM's at 400-450 and my PH afte 9 hours only raised .3 points from 5.5 to 5.8. PhD it to 5.5 and going to let it raise to 6.1-6.2 range before I PH it again. Want these babies to suck up all the additives I have in there Sent from my iPad using Grasscity Forum
This is a great look of the new growth from 2 days ago. I will take more pics later. Kinda in a rush. But my PPM's are at 430 and my PH stays around 5.5-6.0 in 12 hours. Pretty good considering. New growth is really starting to take off especially in my more hurt clones. I mean wow I thought what is going to happen with these. But t my surprise one is going crazy with growth. Like I said will upload pics later in a rush. May not be exciting to you by the new growth but it is to me Sent from my iPad using Grasscity Forum
Ok having a problem maybe. Look dunno what this is. Now my roots have a little brown on them but I think that's from my nutes color. It's not a lot. But it's there. Now my leaves only a few per plant are turning like a brown,yellow and showing through the back of the leaves a little. Here is a pic Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Does your res or roots smell bad? The leaves look like you have root damage. Is your air pump up to the job?
The ppm's aren't rising at all also the pH won't go back down from 5.8 for some reason. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
I have the big industrial air pump. Side note. My ol lady left the lid off the main res one day for a good 5 hours or more. She now looking at the roots thinks it's algae Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Pump looks good, roots look good, having the res open for 5 hours will not cause any problems. What nutes are you using? This one's a noggin scratcher. Can you say what your ppm is today, then say what it is tomorrow too so we can get an exact difference on here
The ppm's have stayed neutral around 450. I talked to my old head. Said it was root rot. Grabbed some UC Roots now I haven't changed my water yet. It's been over a week and I'm pretty sure this is what has caused it. I'm hoping this works. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
You're still being vague about the nutrient strength with the "about 450" I was hoping for 2 concise figures. If your res doesn't smell bad it won't be root rot
They go from 432-454 no higher or lower. I used some UC roots for a 24 hour periodic flush. Going to put fresh nutes tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
