Mohican's 2012 Indoor Malawi Grow

She is looking much better today! I raised the LED a little higher to see if it is the light that is causing the wilt. I took a second tote lid with a hole and put on top of the first tote lid to prevent light from getting in the res.

The roots are getting longer and showing good fishbone. They look a little brown so I asked Lordjin if they were OK and he said I was fine - whew:

And here is a top shot with the second tote lid on top:




Adjusted the pH back down to 5.6. Keeping the ppm around 600.

I am not a Bud drinker. However, this recipe is delicious!

Did not get any plant pics these days, but I did get this:

She keeps growing! I turned off the LED because I did not think it was helping. Turned it back on and raised it to see if that works better.

No big changes but she is getting bigger. I took the extra tote lid back off because I was woried I would not be able to remove it soon since the plant was getting bigger. I think I will cut it in half so I can slide each half on from the sides.

Did my res change today. I use my little pump from the 5 gallon setup and throw it in my res and pump the water out to my 5 gallon bucket. It is slow and easy and I can get most of the water out of the res.

Hi All,

Here is what I was doing before I changed to the Scottyballs method.

Here is what I put in my res:
- 7 gallons RO water
- 12 ml Pro-TeKt
- 30 ml Sensi A
- 30 ml Sensi B
- 30 ml H2O2 3%
- 3 ml JungleJuice Micro (for zinc)
- 2 ml JungleJuice Grow (like Cal-Mag)
- 3 ml SuperThrive
- 2 ml Mad Farmer Get Down pH

Results: 900 ppm and 5.4 pH - Darn! I was shooting for 600ppm and 5.8.

Cheers,
Mo

She seems to be a little ruffled from the res change. I was worried about the low pH but one of the gurus here said to just leave it and let it ride back up to 6 on its own. I am trusting him!

Edit: The leaves look funny because I was blowing a fan at the plant and it was bending the leaves.

April 3rd - She seems to like the low pH and is really starting to grow fast. Took several pictures today.

Roots - they look brown but it is just the way the flash gets absorbed by all of the root hairs. They actually look white to the naked eye:

She is starting to get big. I need to cleen out my cabinet so I can set up the screen and block all of the light for when I go 12/12. Right now I am using 18/6. I cut the second tote lid in half and added metal tape to the bottom tote lid to block light where the two halves do not meet completely.

I should have flipped her at this point and just grown a single cola.

Still adding to the cabinet. I couldn't figure out how to mount the CFLs and be able to adjust them as needed. Then I got the bright idea to use adjustable shower curtain rods.

New light setup - 4 100 W 6500K CFLs and Kessil LED:
