What medium are you using? Im using hydroton. My plants seem to be growing healthy. Should I water less then?

So currently my watering schedule on my ebb and flow system is every six hours, four times a day. 6Am 12pm 6pm 12am. But now that my light schedule is going to change should my watering? I've heard not to water in the dark but 12 hours seems long without water.

my firsts seedlings did the same thing. I made the mistake of giving them nutes way too early and putting them under too powerful of a light. I switched to a CFL for lighting and flushed them and all but one came out ok.

Wow! Exactly what I looking for. I'll do that next time as it seems like much less of a pain in the ass than transplanting. I transplanted and they've all recovered btw. Nicely I might I add. I also topped each one.

Thanks! The only problem with bringing the light down is that the plants on the ends are left with very little light

Hm. Maybe I'll just get my HPS light sooner. I was looking up how to LST my plants, but I don't know how I'd anchor the hooks in the hydoton. More light just seems like the better solution in general.

Could it be a combination of both ya think? I upped the nutes since it's now week 3 and I've been using the "seedling" amount since I began. I have some cfl's that I was looking to put up, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference (had it installed on wall pointed towards lower growth)...

K. Here are the pics. Any info would be appreciated. And they're not usually droopy. I just transplanted them about 30 minutes ago from a 5x5x5 pot to these 8 x 9 x 9 pots. I plan on trimming the pots down a bit more so that it doesn't have the lip like it does now.

Thanks guys. I'll get a pic in a couple hours when I get home. Like I said though, its not yellow, just a lighter green and its not spreading from one part of the leaf, the entire leaf is changing at the same time. Also, the leaf is just a little limp like if it was overwatered or something. Its...

Thanks! So on my next grow what medium should I use in the smaller pots to keep them from going into shock? In my bigger pots my ebb and flow tray isn't tall enough to get water to the rapid rooter pellets in the beginning (unless i bury them deep in hydroton). Also, i moved up to 8h x 9 x 9...

Yeah sorry for the lack of picture. Not at home at the moment. Under feeding sounds plausible. They had a bit of nute burn a week and a half ago so I scaled back the nutes. They're in a 4 sq ft area with a 400 w MH a foot above them so I think they have enough light. PH is steady at 6.0

So my plants are now about 12-14 inches tall. I notice the lowest set of fan leaves are now a lighter green and are becoming slightly less perky. I was thinking this might be from light getting blocked from upper leaves. Is this normal? The rest of the plant is growing great. And they're...

Correct. Into the tray from the pots. Thanks!

So from what I've read everyone has said the roots growing out of the tray is a no no. However, after doing some searching I found a few sites that advocate that it's okay for the roots to grow together. For example, this site...

Yeah sorry. No ppm meter yet. Measured by ml's to gallons and did the math conversion. The recommended dosage on the fert bottle is 15ml per gallon and I cut it to 7.5. I do have a ph meter though. Its in check at 6.0

Ppm is about 700-800 including my tap. Without my tap ppm its about 445 according to my water report. They're watered every 6 hours 4 times a day. Changing it to 3 times every 9 hours pissed them off bad. They were drooping so bad some were nearly touching the stem. And excuse my ignorance...

Okay so the last few days have been a rollercoaster. 13/14 day old random seeds Under a 400w MH light about 21" from the top Temp is about 85 degrees Ebb and flow system Light is on 20/4 Watering is 4 times a day every 6 hours (6am, 12pm, 6pm, 12am) I began by watering them too much...

one more quick question... my leaves will droop for about an hour after watering. I heard this is because of over watering. I'm watering every 6 hours already though. Should I take out a watering session? That would make 3 in a 20 hour lighting period. Would that be enough? The medium is...

Thanks! I have a total of 4 growing right now. The one pictued and two others are doing pretty well and they look like the one here. but there is one that seems to be genetically messed up. He's slumping over and his leaves are growing all in the same direction. He's doing better so I'm...

I would appreciate any feedback. I've been lurking on here for quite a while gathering info. I'm growing this plant. I don't know the strain because the seed was given to me by a friend who got it off some marijuana he purchased (I didn't want to waste money on expensive seeds while I was giving...
