Alright guys whats up. This is my first grow I may or may not need help from the pros depending how everything goes.
Strains are Grape Ape clones from my mother Grape Ape plant.
Seeds are from an OG kush batch.
Bucket currently has six plants 2 clones 4 seeds.
Another bucket will be added as I have more clones rooting in the dome.
Im currently running in the bucket 1 Large disk stone from Petsmart and a cylinder stone from the shop.
They're currently running on my tap water(7.2-.4) ph'd down to 5.8-6.1 and a small supplement of Great White Roots.
Water will be changed once every 2 weeks.
Temperature stays steady at 68-75 degrees Farenheit
Humidity stays set at 55-75%(added humidifier to stabilize)
Lighting/Schedule (On 5pm Eastern - 11am Eastern) (Off 11am-5pm) I currently have 3 CFL's 4 inches above the top of clones. When they reach the heigh as the mother plant who is being LST they will be converted to the 3 6500K T8's I have on her.
I want to build a solid root system before adding my FloraSeries nutrients so these babies can goooo. Pictures will be provided with dates and anything i did to the growing process so we can keep track of all pros and cons so the next wont make them.
Nutrients Floraseries, Roots Excellurator, Great White, Clear Rez,

Day 1:
Planted seeds in rockwool after germ. Clones are still rooting. Filled bucket with 4.8 gallons of water maybe and added 1 dose of Great White for 5 gallon Hydroponic systems. Added a pinch of Moon Dust All in One Grow to 5 gallons of water. Stirred heavily then added PH down to 5.8
Day 2:
placed all seeds and clones that were rooting and cracking in bucket.
Day 3:
added wet rockwool to tops of baskets to prevent light from entering bucket(prevents algae?)
Seeds and clones are rooting or stretching

Day 7: Still running on orig. 5.9-6.0 water with Great white and all in one from first mixing
Seeds first leaves are growing. Stems are stretching and falling over though Ive been adding more rockwool around the base to hold it. Maybe a toothpick would be better?
Clones
Root growth is speeding up and tops are growing too

Vegitative Day 17: on day 12 added a new 20 watt pump(hydrofarm)? has a chrome manifold and you can adjust airflow will post a pic soon. Clones are growing added the nutes to first bucket as stated in previous post.
Take a look at the seedlings for me and tell me what ya think feedback is requested they are kinda tall and growing should i throw them directly under cfls to stop the stretch? Mama plant not hydro but just did a little bending and tieing down to her she was getting to tall.

Well I pretty much wrote a book containing everything i did for vegging, I've been to busy with life and the plants to keep you guys updated frequently and for that i apologize ill upload as many pics as i can today. I may top today and start flower February 1st. Hoping the Blue Dream(in its own 5 gallon now) will catch up(seeded last) to the rest of the girls. All are showing preflowers. Changed nutes over to Heavy 16 line Veg A and Veg B. Plants look and smell beautiful <3. I gave these girls nothing but time all have made it I havent had one bad seed or weak clone I think building the roots before adding nutes was a smart thing.
