Alright I'll do that next time. Am I gonna have to worry about algae even if I keep the light out and what not? I shoulda took pics of it. But it was kinda caked at the bottom. Also the algae was in the middle of the roots and it's at the top of the rock wool. Umm. Can u mix peroxide thru it...

So update. Cleaned the reservoir out ph'd the water to about 6 and put nuts in 12.5 tsp of cal mag and 12.5 tsp of grow from lotus nutrients. I felt like a rookie saying my feeding info aha but yeah so my ppm was at almost 300 so that's good but now they are getting burnt for some reason. Any...

Okay so new update. Cleaned the reservoir. Ph'd it to 5.5-6.0 I put them in some fresh ph'd water while I cleaned it out. I didn't use peroxide but I used 97% alcohol and let the reservoir sit for a sec including the lines and what not. I didn't really feel confident using peroxide but I feel...

I put my phone flash light up to it. It shined just a slither. I don't think they're getting thru.

So I should put enough nutes in to make the ppm around 350? I used tap it started at under 150 if i remember correctly. Dang man the more I read what u wrote this is gonna take alot of dedication and learning. I'm honestly shocked they look as okay as they do. I definitely need to go out and buy...

So when the ph gets low that's when u can tell it's time to feed again? How often should I clean the reservoir? And then is there a meter that tells me EXACTLY how much nitrogen and things of that matter they're getting? If that makes sense

Okay so I covered the holes. There's definitely algae in the reservoir tho. Any suggestions on how to get it out? Im Assuming I just have to clean the whole thing?

I hope it's light proof if not ima wrap the whole thing in foil lmao

Omg yep I definitely have algae in there. What should I do

What bad about light getting in? I feel like that'll create a dirty reservoir right?

Also today was supposed to he the day I sent them into vegetation. What's ur guys thoughts on that?

Update so I added some notes the day u guys told me and this is what I'm coming g out with. I used 20 tsp of cal/mag and I forgot the other one but 20tsp for that also lol. Umm my ppm is around 753 it was at 8 something but I kept adding fresh ph'd water to bring it down to that 753. I didn't...

Yep makes sense. Ima get done tonight. They look pretty okay for not using any tho ima do alot of trial and error to get good at this. I appreciate the feed bad

Oh wow a couple ppl told me not to use any during the seedling stage.

Hey I'm pretty new to growing in general and figured I'd start running b4 I walk with hydro. So I would say I'm in my 3rd week of the seedling stage and I'm starting to notice some deficiencies in a few of my plants. Specifically the ones where the roots are touching the water. Could you guys...
