How much was your tent btw? I went for the 24x48x62 for $70 with the intention of running two waterfarms in it, but I ended up only running the one with the PE in it. Looking back on it I should have got a taller one, as I like to keep my waterfarm elevated a little for ease of draining, and the...

Yeah I was about at that point when I posted that earlier, but then again I have a few other things stressing me out unrelated to this grow, so you were on and off. Hah. And I plan on it. And it's just hard to look at her and say "everything is okay" in my head, when she looks half dead from the...

I'm not really stressing the PPM, I'm stressing the problem that my plant is having, and from what you told me it was a nutrient deficiency of some kind so that's why I'm stuck on it. I just want her to look as healthy as she could, and to grow to her full potential. Will try the sponge/bucket...

Thanks again Serapis for taking the time to reply, I know that my grow will not benefit you as if it were your own, so thanks. As for the PH meter, I plan on ordering a new one as soon as possible. I have 4.0 and 7.0 calibration solution, and it will read the 4.0 fine but I believe I...

Hey man, thanks for the reply. This is one of the problems I'm having...is that everything I'm experiencing has received 2-3 different solutions. One being to up the ppm, and another being to drop the ppm. She was doing fine at 100, then the problems started. Bumped to 150 and nothing. Bumped...

Scotty, would you mind taking a look at the grow in my signature and perhaps telling me what I'm doing wrong with the PE? She was doing just fine up until about 5-6 days ago. I have lots of pics and tried to post as much info as possible. I was just a little behind your growth up until day 18...

I removed one of the very first 3 bladed leaves to form, which is the original leaf to begin to show problems, in order to better show the problem I'm dealing with. I didn't remove all 3 blades, as the stem leading from them is very healthy looking. Even the veins for the leaf itself look...

Yeah you're talking about ScottyBalls, that's the journal I was trying to replicate more or less. He gets 10-15 a plant. And Serapis did something very similar and is on par with 11 oz per plant or so at the moment if I'm not mistaken. So it's obviously a good system/setup, I'm just struggling...

No worries, I don't care if you were hating. I've grown soil once before, and after seeing what hydroponics is capable of, I decided to give it a shot. I figured this first grow would be a learning experience, and so far it has been. I didn't expect to just grow a plant and have no...

Any ideas now Serapis?

Wake up, check the ppm, and it's at 373 now....This is so frustrating. What is going on with her?! And the problem isn't really getting any better, so I'm not sure if the ppms were my problem. I've done everything I can pretty much to try and correct it, and nothing seems to be working.

Day 22 - The PPM was at 370 around 4pm today. I checked it at around 1am and it was down to 350. Just checked it a few minutes ago (at 5:40) and its down to 320. So between last night and now it has gone up slightly, and now started to drop. I guess I'll just check her in the morning and if it's...

Okay, so last night I adjusted the PPM to 350 before going to bed. When I woke up and finally got around to checking it this morning (10 hours later), the ppm has raised to 370 and the water level has dropped very slightly. This would indicate that shes taking in more water than nutrients...

And yes I'm using RO Distilled water.

I raised the PPM last night before going to bed, she looks about the same. Will check PPM count in a bit to see if its dropped and she needs more. She's only on week 3 today, so is 500ppm do-able for her size? She seemed to be growing just fine at 100 and it didn't drop too much from day to day...

And as for the res changes/water temps...I've only been changing the res daily to try and dial in what the culprit was. And I store my DI water in the grow tent so it is the same temperature as my growing environment. I didn't want to risk shocking the plants/root with colder water than they are...

Thanks Serapis, that's why I bothered to come ask you for advice, because you take the time to give a full explanation of what could be going on. As far as the humidity goes, I was 99% sure that was a small part of the problem, so I went and go ta humidifier. The humidity hovers around 45%...

Not to try and hi-jack or take away from your journal Serapis, but do you think you could hop over to my journal and take a look at my last update? I'm having some issues with the PE now and she only seems to worsen as I attempt to adjust things that could be causing the issue. You seem pretty...

41 views and 3 replies? One being a guy who knows whats wrong (or what he suspects it to be), but didn't feel like telling me?

Thanks for at least taking a shot at it. Everything I've read thus far has stated that 50% humidity for veg is completely normal, and something to aim for. I figured it couldn't hurt by buying a humidifier earlier tonight. As for the nutrients, I've been changing the reservoir daily with 2...
