Thanks if I have any questions or input I'll sure ask. Looking good so far Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Grasscity Forum mobile app
When do you plan on taking them out of those bags? "Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now." 1000 watt Scrog Journal
It looks like you're using zip locks as humidity domes or something? "Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now." 1000 watt Scrog Journal
Yeah I don't know if you see a glare or something but they are just in the hydroton in my tent. We are Day 9 from putting seed in Hydroton and for the the first one to pop up Day 6 I believe and the most recent one day 3. Since Wednesday my levels have maintained a 6.0 ph with no noticeable change to the eye on a dropper test. Ppm meter gets here today sometime I believe and will check the levels of that. I'm still on week 2 but I went from 1/4 strength to 1/2 strength. The ziplock bags that are in the middle now I just out there with water in them to help raise the humidity level a little for the ladies.
Checked on the girls this morning. Still looking really good. Does the new growth start lighter green and get darker as it gets light and processes the nutrients? Or is there something I need to change with the plants? Ph is still 6.0 flat hasn't changed. My meter came in but made the rookie mistake of not knowing I needed special solution to calibrate and store it. So the meter is still on hold! All 6 of the beauties after 5.5 hours of sleep. http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-growing/1326685-bubbleponics-dwc-first-time-grow.html/page-3#entry20602506
Bah was typing shit up and the app crashes. You've got something funny going on in there.. Curled up leaves is too much heat. Wrinkly leaves in my experience is from a pH that is out of range. That yellowing is odd... What if anything have you fed them? Those drops are a pain in the ass to use. Did you get a Milwaukee meter? It should have come with some calibration liquid. I just pour some into the cap and store the meter upright. "Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now." 1000 watt Scrog Journal
Yeah I was waiting for my fan to come in and my temps would get a little high occasionally I'm literally just now getting them maintained. My ph has maintained 6 for 3 days now. I lifted the light a little because even though it's not to hot by them I read they can get burned still. I've used week two just under 1/2 strength of what it says. Are these the wrinkles your referring to? That is the meter I received. http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-growing/1326685-bubbleponics-dwc-first-time-grow.html/page-3#entry20602506
I'm going to add some phed water with no nutrients at all and drop the overall ph a little bit. I'm thinking maybe ph slightly to high and nutrients slightly over so I'll decrease both and see how it goes. http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-growing/1326685-bubbleponics-dwc-first-time-grow.html/page-3#entry20602506
honestly as young as they are I would feed maybe 1/4 strength. I'm a believer of less is more on this aspect. I would rather my plants tell me they need more than burn them.
Yeah I am going to dilute it by adding a gallon of phed water. And I already dropped the ph to 5.5 so I'm hoping! http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-growing/1326685-bubbleponics-dwc-first-time-grow.html/page-3#entry20602506
Seeds have enough stored energy to grow several weeks without feeding. Its essentially the purpose of the Cotyledons. Once those first 2 odd leaves yellow up I start a light feed. Also I'm not sure what water you are using but most of those charts are based off using a reverse osmosis water with 0 ppm. I also use GH nutes but I'm on the maxi powder line. If I followed their feed schedule my plant would be dead. "Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now." 1000 watt Scrog Journal
if your going all the way, why don't you add undercurrent. its a lot easer trying to keep ppm, temp, and ph. when they connected.
Well this morning I added water with no nutes to dilute it last night before work I lowered the ph and when I got home they had taken off and yellowing had gone away almost completely. http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-growing/1326685-bubbleponics-dwc-first-time-grow.html/page-3#entry20602506
That was all before work this is just now when I got home! http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-growing/1326685-bubbleponics-dwc-first-time-grow.html/page-3#entry20602506

So today is officially week 3 or day 21 since the seeds have out in the hydroton and 18 days since seed 1 sprouted. I did a Rez change yesterday and let them sleep on some fresh water. Curling on the one plant seems to have gone down and color is balancing out a little I feel like. They went 19 hours so far in only water should I add nutes at 1/4 strength now or give it another day? http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-growing/1326685-bubbleponics-dwc-first-time-grow.html/page-3#entry20602506
Well I figured it's been 24 hrs on water so I added just under 1/4 strength nutes since I haven't been able to calibrate my meter yet. My ph level is under 6. http://forum.grasscity.com/hydroponic-growing/1326685-bubbleponics-dwc-first-time-grow.html/page-3#entry20602506
