Just used 14 gal of RO water from the store.
3ml/gal of Cal-Mag Plus (recommended says 5)
8ml/gal Pure Blend Pro Grow (recommended is 10)
7.5ml/gal Liquid Karma (recommended is 10)

PH 5.5

So im doing it a little low, trying to see where it takes the PH what the plants take more of, water or food. plan on letting the PH drift up to 6.0.
better have too little than to burn them right?
one of the plants (the bogglegum that has been with me longer) has 2 little roots comming down into the water! YAY! im sure the other isnt far behind. im using same water level (1inch into the pot) until more there is more roots down.

picture update comming later on. gotta go to a great elctro show tnight!

here are some pictures of the little bugs i found hiding in my hydroton. other than that. PH has balanced. everything is looking smooth so far. here is some pictures also of the LST progress right before lights went out. im going to re-tie them when the lights come back on later today.





I've got roooots. theres more coming out the side too. the other plant hasnt got em yet, but i know i will SOON


until later. thanks questions and/or comments are welcomed.

Looking good, ads420. Keep it up, bro!

Thanks Diggity!
anyone else watching? I need some company!

and now for the update:
I haven't had much of a chance to update for the last 2 days. But the good thing is, LOTS OF GROWTH! The plants seem to be coming VERY well. They are loving the nute levels as far as I can tell. Drank a gallon between thursday and today, so I refilled the the res level today back to the mark, When I change out the water in the res. later this week I think I will be lowering the level now completely out of the pots. I've been monitoring the growth and re-tying the LST as needed. Side growth is getting crazy. Especially since so many roots have came out of the pot now. The bogglegum has more roots as it has been around a few days longer than the Hindu Skunk, BUT the Hindu Skunk finally has roots out of the pot and i expect ALOT to be out in the next day or 2. Once one hits that water they start coming out like crazy! literally within a day they double maybe even more. PH level has been stable at 6.0. only had to adjust today to 5.5 because I topped off the res. and this way it can float up as the plants eat food. Plan on switching to flower oct 11th or 18th. stay tuned.

Well now for some pics so you can see whats up.

Questions or Comments? I love talking to people dont leave me hangin!
check my babies out as i enjoy some fine herbs.

anyone following? bummmmp

there has been more excessive growth and now 3 long roots comming out of the hindu. so things are looking gooood! i will post pics tomorrow as the lights have only been on for 3 hours today. so in the morning tomorrow before lights go off im sure i will have lots more growth! things are starting to move really fast.

i have a feeling my res isnt completely light proof. so im going to fix that this week when i change out the water. some of the longer roots are getting some dirty stuff on them thats in the res. not alot but i dont what to get root rot.

am I all alone here?

I just checked all my stuff before lights just went out. PH was a little high, meaning the plants are eating lots of food. I think the older plant with more roots is hogging all the nutes right now. the hindu skunk is slowly catching up though! It is showing a slight N Deficiency, which is why I figure the one with more roots and nice solid dark green is taking all the food right now, SO the nute level was low so i refilled the res with a gallon of 100% nute solution, ive been cutting it low, but i think they can handle more. especially since the hindu skunk needs a little extra since the bogglegum is being a hog right now. PH is set back at 5.8 now. everything is looking good.

Do you guys thing I did the right thing in order to help out the hindu?

hey ads...had to stop on by and see what you've got cookin'

ladies look nice...filling out nicely and the shoots are going vertical which is nice...

I have feeder tubes in my DWC (aka bubbleponic system) and the roots that shot outta my big plant was amazing...literally overnight...i think the feeder tubes makes a HUGE difference...
