Hello,
So I'm going insane trying to problem solve my issues on this run. Specs are as follows:
-17 LSD topped and transplanted into 3.5 gallon smart pots 50/50 coco coco perlite mix 4 days ago.
- 4x LEC 630
- Ebb and Flow flooding once a day at lights on and hand watering 1 litre per plant...
Thanks for the info. The plants are on that wall because the ceiling slopes so that side has the most height. I will deff consider taking the middle 5 out. Good idea about wrapping the res also.
I can adjust the flood level. I feel like I was getting a bit of overwatering on a few that I had planted deeper in the hydroton because they had stretched. I lowered the water level a bit. We will see if that improves the ones that are droopy. Th roots are 4 inches long in most so the water is...
Using the grow, micro, velokelp and magnifical. I started the seeds in rockwool cubes and moved them to the buckets when the roots started coming out the bottom of the cubes. The system takes 20 mins to fill and drain completely.
I could turn half the lights off as the LEC 630 has two 315s in...
Cut the nutes down to 350. I have a 1/4 HP chiller so dialed that down to 68 and knocked the co2 down to 800. Gonna have to grab some ph up as my ph is still at 5.5.
This is my first hydro grow. Plants are 14 days from germinating. Plants are droopy and discolored.
3x630 watt LEC sitting 40 inches from plants
Remo Nutrients @ 560 ppm, ph 5.5
Ebb and flow in Hydroton 3 times during 18 hours light cycle
Res temp 71
Room temp 79
Co2 1300 ppm
Temp sitting at 80, humidity only 39. Should I get a humidifier? Also this is my first hydro grow. How often is everyone flooding in hydroton. Right now I have it flooding every 4 hours.
