  1. I had the same seeds I put them in rapid rooters in a germination dome and all ten I planted made it, also when I transferred them to the buckets I used top feed till the roots got to the water in the bucket

  2. Right on. I'm planning on top feeding until the roots hit the water as well. 20180412_080355.jpg 20180412_080406.jpg

  4. Do you ever have issues with roots plugging up the RDWC return lines?
     
  5. 5 days since they popped. One is a little misshapen. 1523628296624.jpg 1523628322373.jpg

  6. Even with the light at the top of the tent, it's too much. The one that was doing well is starting to curl, and the other is still not growing right. I'm still going to try to save them, but I'm definitely going to modify the light fixture. Next go, I'll put an online switch on 2 of the panels. 2 panels on for seedlings, 4 for veg, 8 for flower. They were hit by the low humidity too.

    I think I saved one of them. Still holding 450ppm at 5.8 in the tank. 1523894747548.jpg 1523894854726.jpg

  8. Hey buddy thats some set uo youve got there! Well done lad, obviously done your homework. Nutes are too hot for seedlings though. Id half it fir the timj need next to nothing. Less is more for the weed grower. Defecits can be fixed instantly and cause little to no damage. Toxicity issues can ruin your plants for weeks always err on the side of caution and theres much less chance of any issues

  9. Thank you.

    I'm de-chlorinating 15 gallons right now. TDC of my tap is 180ppm. I'm half dosing the calmag, and making up the rest with GH3 to get to 350ish. I'll go from there.

    I had too much light on her. I modified the tent setup a little to get 8" higher, and it's helped. She's lining out well now. I'll start lowering based on stretch.
     
  10. Oft 180ppm tap water, what the fuck are they feeding you guys lol. Its 58-61 where i am.
    350ish sounds a lot better now haha.
    Been on the forums for 2 years now and its never occured to me that when im talking about nute strength i never take in what their tap water might be and wether or not they factored it in. Cheers buddy you just inadvertantly taught me a very valuble lesson

  11. LOL. I'm in California about 45 minutes from San Francisco. Naturally, the government knows what I need better than I do. If I could drill a well without fines, I would. I've reviewed the water quality reports and luckily the TDS comes from (primarily) calcium.
     
  12. maaate!!! Guys round here,(scotland) are quite happily paying £120 per 3.5g to get cali orange imported from cali!!
    And thats not a typo!
    Average for hit or miss if its decent bush here is £200-£240 per oz
    Give you one guess what i just popped

  15. Roots are still coming in nicely. The spots on the leaves happened the day before yesterday. They haven't changed, but I'm watching them.

    I know I had to much light, so I ended up blocking some with sheets of paper. She stretched out a little bit after I did. I've been fighting humidity (20-30%), but managed to raise it to 45-48% with a cinder block. I was pretty happy about that, because I really didn't want to buy a big ass humidifier. 20180417_180523.jpg 20180417_180514.jpg
     
  16. Is she looking alright? 1524272206795.jpg 1524272237566.jpg 1524272283847.jpg

  17. First full leaf came in followed closely by 5th node. Topped her per LBH's tutorial. She's looking pretty healthy. I'm on 18/6. 5.8 pH. 450ppm TDS.

  18. Did a res change yesterday. pH 5.8, 525ppm, RH 40%, temp 75f, lights at 36" (4 panels only) 18/6.

    Spots on the top leaf aren't an issue. I spilled a beer on her. Beer stays away from the tent now. 20180423_173544.jpg 20180424_105837.jpg
     
  19. Should I keep the light at 36"?
