Thanks Longhorn, I never got a chance to remove the mylar from the top of the res. This is day 24 of veg and things appear to be going ok. I had some MAJOR odour issues and built a DIY carbon filter from a 5 gallon bucket, some small plywood and a window screen. Has cured the problem....and I...
I used a box cutter style knife and just traced out my net pots and cut the hole a little smaller, just "score" it the first time around then the blade will just follow that mark. Seemed to work easy, hope it works for you.
So my power was off today for about 6 hours.....no lights no water pump and no air pump running.....How bad of a shock is this going to be to my plants??
I did a res change and added 1/2 strength nutes yesterday. I also have started to mist the plants every chance I get with some of the water from the res when I changed it. Not sure if that is what made the difference but they have perked right up and look a lot healthier. I have a plant in a...
Plants look great....I am following this closely as it appears your plants are about a week and change ahead of mine. What is the reason for moving them into there own buckets and what are you using for an air pump, how big of airstones?(in the buckets).......nicely done man.
Thanks for replies....Room Temp is holding steady at 80, res temp is 71, all the roots are now deep into the water. I am going to go and check out those humidifiers. I wonder if my light is to close? One of the plants has some yellow spots on the ends of the leaves....any ideas as to why? The...
OK day 6 and the sprouts look very good, a couple of them seem to have the leaves curled down a bit......not sure if I should be concerned with that. The 400 is 7 inches abouve them and the temps are hovering around 78 - 80 degress. My biggest concern is the low Humidity.....20-30 % any thoughts...
Well I guess they like the 400.....only 24 hours after they were put into the rockwool all 6 are sprouted and the other 3 have poked up above the rockwool. Wow they really are starting nicely. I germintated 9 seeds hoping that 6 would sprout to fill the res and all 9 took.
Ok so I have the seeds in the rockwool and the the 400 is on, Temps are around 78 and humidity hovers around 50%.......Is that light going to harm them when they are this young?
So I have lurked on here for months and slowly put together a Bubbleponics system in my crawl space. My question is can I use my 400 hps as soon as the seeds are put in the rockwool cubes or do I have to ease them in to the bigger light. Thanks.....Here are a couple pics of my set up.
Hey, I soaked 9 seeds in some ph'd water for 24 hours, then placed them in some damp papertowels. I put the damp papertowels in some sandwich bags under a dish. All the seeds spilt open and have about 1/4 roots coming out. They are going in to a DWC set up that is ready to go except for I have...
