New Grower. New member.. help is appreciated!

hows it going? i am a new grower just starting out with 4 5 gal DWC. I have 4 different strains, Bubba Kush, Holy Grail Kush, and Headband. I got these strains as clones from my local collectives. You have to start somewhere right? I have these under a t5 2'x4' about 6 inches from the tallest one. any constructive critism would be awesome and greatly appreciated. the headband is kind of sick but i am starting to see new growth.. the sky walker og also doesnt look as health as it could be. however both the kush's seem to look ok with the Bubba lookin the best. i will post picture below of each plant, i hope someone can steer me in the right direction. THANK YOU.

Seems like you have everything on track!
Picking up clones from Dispensaries has always been hit or miss for me, so just keep that in mind.

Thanks, I hope these clones are a hit. Both collectives have good quality finished meds so let's hope this reflects their clones.

How should I go about dealin with the nitrogen problem? And the top tips of the plants only vary 2 to 3 inches, will that take light away from the lower setting plants? Thank you for your quick replies! It's appreciated. Keep the feedback coming! What can I do to help the sick little headband out?

I dropped the Ph level to around 5.5 an the light green spots are already getting darker!

If i could interject; I wouldnt say you need to adjust nitrogen levels at all. Ive found that most clones exhibit that light green (almost yellow) coloring right around the new growth, as the new growth uncurls and grows from the plant and it always turns into a dark lush green for me. Food for thought.

Water temps remain in the mid 60's but, i am fighting to keep the garage above 73 degrees F. I have been dropping the Ph into the lower 5's and letting it rise over a 24hr period, then i check the levels again and adjust accordingly. i also spin the lids on my 5 gallon buckets 180 degrees everytime i change the solution so the lights hit different parts of the plants. take a look and let me know what you think.. everyone seems to be getting healthier, i genuinly feel bad cause of the stress put on these little ladies while dialing in my temps.

ok kron everything looks fine,is the roots touching the waner yet,how far is your water from bottom of the net?

The water is about 1/2 inch into my net pots. Right under the rockwool cubes we are half way thru day 6 and no roots have made their way out of the net pots

ok mate put your water level under the net pot 1/2",so the roots try to look for the water k bud

Changed the water today.. before changing the water i found the first root to make its way out of the net pot, the Holy Grail Kush!! After the time consuming task of changing the water then eating dinner and running some errand i came home and was showing my brother everything.. We now have roots coming out the bottom of the net pot of Bubba Kush!!! No roots yet on the Headband or Skywalker OG.

Added new nutrients today also, started using just a couple drops of superthrive and Dutch Master Gold Range One last week.

This week i added, DM add 27, DM Zone, DM Silica + the DM Gold Range One and 4 Drops of superthrive.

11 1/2 tsp - DM add 27
2 tsp - DM Silica
1 tsp - DM Zone
5 1/2 tsp - DM GR One
4 drop of Super Thrive
This is per each 5 gallon bucket

water is 1/2" away from the bottom of the net pots.

its now officially 4 weeks until the babies start their 12/12 cycle.

i am expermenting with the PPM, so far the bubba kush looks the best and most lucious!

Bubba Kush PPM - 420
Holy Grail Kush PPM - 450
HeadBand PPM - 405
Skywalker OG - 465

HELP!!!!! I just found several Root Aphids on the roots and several on the net pot.

I just added a couple extra tsp of dutch master zone and two cap fulls of 3% h202.

I am 3 weeks into veg. Should I just pull the one plant that has the aphids (holy grail Kush) and get rid of it????
