Sooooo

The thursday before the first weekly post that i missed I was watching a movie and decided to throw a black t shirt over my light and.....voila! The light tilted down and 1 hour later i had burned off basically all of the leaves from both plants! So ya that was embarrassing so i took 2 weeks growing them back (I'm surprised they both survived it was pretty bad.)

That and another week of procrastinating (and subsequently subjecting my plants to unnecessary nutrient and growing medium stress) means that they're pretty far behind for how long they've been around but i'm hoping that will all change.

Right now they're still a little sad looking but they've been in the DWC tub for 24 hours and nothing drastic yet. The deficiencies you see in the leaves were all there before i moved them into the tub.

The lights above them is a homemade 6 bulb (total 184 watts CFL) with a ghetto homemade reflector.

The space heater is because it still gets pretty cold during the nights so it's set to heat on low if the air gets below 67F.

I'm using GH 3-part I DO NOT have a ppm or pH meter i use a pH check solution and an adjustment kit but for the EC i have just been following the recipe on the back and hoping they don't get burned. I'm using the full growth recipe cause I'm sure they're starved (3 parts floragrow, 2 parts floramicro, 1 part florabloom)


ISSUES
Ventilation: I don't have any kind of it set up yet. The main reason why is because i'm doing this in an attic and theres a decent amount of dust in the crevices and i don't feel like stirring that up.

SO...i KNOW i'm gonna need some kind of fan sometime soon, but how do i do that without blowing shit everywhere? I was thinking about maybe putting up some walls from the ceiling using panda film (black and white plastic) But ya for now that light doesn't put out much heat, but i do wanna get a 400w hps in there sometime. Do you think theres enough clearance to properly ventilate that? I'm worried that there wont be enough even using CFLs that i can get really close to the plants...

Suggestions, as always, are welcome.

looks good man keep us posted

SOO they aren't taking to their new environment too well i suppose. I checked the pH which was at about 7 so i downed it to 6. Like i said I don't have a tds/ppm/ec meter so i'm just following the recipie on the back of the GH 3-part bottles. Does that look like nutrient burn to anyone? I'm hoping that it was just the ph i guess i gotta be on that shit more often.

I also do not have a fan blowing on them, because it is in an attic and i don't have pandafilm to partition it off yet. it got pretty hot yesterday but def nothing over 95 in the attic. I think i went up there and the thermometer said 85

Could be that you are over watering. Could be the ph. And could be nute burn. Nute burn starts at the tips of the leaves. Did you notice any small burn spots on the tips?

And how hot has it been getting in there? 91 and above will kill them.

pretty sure it hasn't been getting over 90. It's a DWC system so i dunno how overwatering would be it the air pump is for an aquarium 20-40 gallons. You can see the pictures from a little over 24 hours ago. I dunno on the burn it happened so fast...maybe i should just fix all of the problems? I wanna dilute but one of them already looks N deficient...

LOL, didn't even notice it was a DWC. I say over watering because they are all curled up.

okay now i adjusted the ph down from 7 to 6, i diluted with ph adjusted water (like 25% diluted), and i put a fan in there blowing over the plants (but not enough to blow dust everywhere) I think i should have hit all of my bases just gotta play the waiting game to see if i fixed it or not...

How unlucky! I can gather how much you loved those babies, that setup looks like a labor of love if ever I saw one!

I myself haven't seen my strawbabies in a few weeks, hopefully my dad's been looking after them ok! I'll update when I find out what the story is.

So i got discouraged for a week and didn't even go up there, but i went back and, after a haircut, they looked good! Well, at least the little one survived, but the big one is starting to look real nice! I've got a big fan in nice and personal on the big one so the cfls are pretty cool to the touch. Didn't take a picture but the roots are long and thick and white! I really gotta suck it up and get a tds meter...
