[/IMG]I have been reading for about a year finally got my first grow going! Put it all together with the help of a friend.
Setup
- New Wave T5 Sun System (8 Bulb)(Currently 6 blue 2 reds)
- (2) 2 speed oscillating fans
- (2) 12 inch air stones
- Dual Output Air Pump
- 140 GPH Water Pump
- 2'7 by 2'7 by 5'3 Homebox Grow Tent (white interior)
- Hydroton Rocks
- 8 Dripper (2 on each of the 4 plants)
- Aquarium Heater (75 degree max)
Nutrients​
- CNS-17 Grow ( Using Now)
- Humex ( Using Now)
- Seaplex (Using Now)
- CNS-17 Bloom ( Using Later)
Ph- 6.5, PPM-320, Temp in Res- 71
A day after buying and transplanting these clones, i notices some shriveled up plants or it seemed like they were a little, i figured that may have been from wind burn, moved the fans as a result. I know that my PPM is also a bit high for clones but i'm hoping they will adjust just fine. ALL FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED![/B]

My PPm is just to high, can i dilute it with water as it goes down, or is there no time to wait for that? Do i need to change my res water completely?

very nice setup, mine is similar; T5 (4 bulb), 140 gph water pump, dual output air pump, three 15 in airstones.(seperate pump for 1)
how old are they? looks real good man congrats
 
The strains are Blueberry Kush, (2)Green Crack, Black Domina
Goodluck friend, scribed.

Keep the nutes to bare minimum until you've got some real foliage and size outta them. Maybe wait for the plant to have like, 6-10 nodes. IM NO PRO tho, im CURRENTLY in my first grow.

Thanks man! Congrats to you as well! They are about 4 days old sence i bought them as clones, i would bet in total maybe a few weeks. I notice new growth every days, the drippers realy speed up the process... not to mention the 24.7 lights!

I'm no pro but I do not think ~300 PPM is too much to really worry about...

The PH might be a little high for a hydro setup, I believe you want it 5.5-6.0 but check with someone who isn't a noob like me!

I am just on my 1st DWC grow, so I am only going on what I have read. Best of luck to you!

Looks good. If your res temps come up you may want to consider silver tape or even just throwing some white towels down on the top of the lids. I've only had that problem under the 1k's but I've seen those t5ho setups and they seem like they's pack a pretty good punch for what they are. Once the foliage cover it its not an issue, just the first little bit. Another little trick. When I've trasplanted new wclones I'll back the light off so that I can cut the fans. I like to let them get some legs before i drop the light and start hitting them with wind. It seems to help a bit. I've been running the Green Crack for years. You're gonna lover her. Peace.

Had a little nute burn problem, solved it. And also killed the drippers now that the roots are submerged. I'm flsuhing for a week, then goin back to nuted, bein a little more careful not to let my PPM get to high. Will this really hurt my yield? From what i read it shouldn't be much of a problem, what do you guys think?
