did you really duct tape your airlines inside the res? are those rocks from your yard? not sure what you got goin on here good luck, all the same
Update: DAY 11 02/09/2015 Malawi Gold One of the other Malawi gold. The leaves are growing kinda janky, the other two are also like this. Maybe it's just the strain? The other 2 strains appear to be growing normal. Kaya Gold, and Northern Lights: I started 4 of each back on 01/20/2015. Unfortunately, I let the rock wool dry out, and 7 didn't make it. This slowed growth way down until the roots recovered. 02/01/2015 Kaya Gold The Northern Lights was about the same size as the KG. I do not have a picture of it when it was small. 02/09/2015 Kaya Gold 02/09/2015 Northern Lights 02/10/2015 PH:5.8 PPM: 500 TEMP/HM: 66-75, 34-56
Sorry I have been super busy. Power went out for 14 hours the other week. Unfortunately my plants suffered heavily. I brewed some tea (Heisenberg), and holy cow that stuff works. They are growing great now, and the roots look awesome. I'll post some pics tomorrow of the pants, and my new setup. I also saw the update on naturesweetnothings .
Good Day Mister Anderson...your grow is looking good! I started mine about the same time as you (my first). I planted them Jan 22 and they are doing well...it has been a bit of a roller coaster with issues, but nothing major. Here they are at 2 weeks: View attachment 152752 And here they are this morning: View attachment 152744 I am setting them to flower today so we will see how it goes. Good luck with yours and hope all goes well!
