Okay well my water level is about a 1/2 inch above the white line, but for now that will work fine I think. I'll keep it lower from here on. Mr2shim thanks for stopping by and subbing. Your strawberry diesel grow looked great. Here is brief, but exciting update: Everything is looking good...

Checked the reservoir tonight and PPM dropped from 188 - 181 not very significant. I'm going to leave it for now. Do you keep your water level at the base of the upper chamber or at the marked white line on the tube?

Sounds good. Does it look safe enough to start adding nutes in at say 1/4 strength or should I wait a little bit longer?

Looks good so far. Keep it up

I also forgot to mention that there are small brown spots appearing on the tips of the cotyledon leaves. You might notice them in the first picture if you look closely. What do you think? Cheers

Okay time for an update. I have turned the MH up to 400w's now. Still keeping it up high for now because I want to ease into it. I've noticed lots of salts building up on my hydroton and also it keeps getting very dry up to 1" deep or more. So I went ahead and covered it with some aluminum foil...

Looking good Bluez, the leaves have definitely perked up in those 6 hours. I'll be staying tuned.

Nice grow, everything looks really good so far. Does your hydroton always remain about as wet as it is in the picture? I have a small clip fan blowing on my small seedling and my hydroton only remains wet were the drip holes are. Other than that the entire surface of my hydroton is dry. Let me...

I had some issues with both my timers and my lighting setup yesterday. There were random periods of light and dark at all the wrong times and my airpump even went off for at least an hour.... I don't know if it's a problem because it's so young or what. It still looks good and I now have it...

That makes perfect sense I totally agree. I'm glad the ph is only fluctuating 1.0 or so. I can't wait to start introducing nutes to this girl. I'm curious if this new ring will work better for you. I noticed the other day that the waterfarm drip ring doesn't have very many holes. I don't know...

Sounds good I'm a total newb too so I'm learning a little bit every day haha. Sounds good, my plant has started its first day of the 13/11 light cycle and so far the leaves have been very perky. I will continue to adjust the PH as I see it rise and I will change out the water every week or...

Mine is still fluctuating up to 7.0 from around 5.8-6.0 ish. When I see that it is up I adjust it back down is this a bad idea? Changed the reservoir out 2 days ago and set the Ph'd water to around 6.0. I checked it last night and it was back to 7.0 again so I adjusted it back down. Is this...

Awesome thanks! Thank you for the info I'll remember this as I start to introduce the nutrients in a week or so. Glad to see you here for the ride. Okay so the only update I have for right now is that I'm going to mix things up a bit and use the Gas Lamp Routine for my lighting routine. It...

Time for an update. So today I changed out the reservoir with fresh PH'd tap water to 5.9-6.0 PH. The PPM's were sitting at 106 after adjusting the PH. My temperature in the tent is sitting around 71-73 F, but my guess is it's a bit warmer under the light where the seedling is, probably 74-75...

Okay Sounds like I'm getting to antsy. I'll hold off on the nutes for a bit and just change out the rez with PH'd water next week. Thanks forgetiwashere for the tip with the 3 part. I'm going to use the Lucas formula with only the micro and bloom. I don't if that makes a diff or not in the...

Good to hear it looks like things are going well. I added a little bit of nutrients last night. About a 1/2ml micro and a 1/2 ml bloom. Not much, it seems to have bumped up a little in size. I'm going to change the rez completely sometime next week and I will prob start it out on 1/4 strength...

Okay so there's not much to update on, but I'll do it anyway... Everything seems to be running smoothly. Just waiting for those roots to reach the lower reservoir. Any input is much appreciated. Enjoy the pics:

Great grow so far! Subbed for this one.

Sounds like things have been going great for you. I wish I was at your stage and able to smell the buds as they swell up over the next few weeks. When I tried my first grow with bagseed, I used like 50 seeds and not a single one turned out female. So I'm really looking forward to finally seeing...

Your plants are looking really healthy I can't believe you're already at day 70 I'm terribly impatient so I know only being at like day 3 I have a long ways to go haha. subbing for this.
