And isn't pouring nuted water over the hydroton a no-no? Lol. I've always been confused about this; I read that when you top off with ph adjusted water only, you can pour it over the hydroton. But when you are adding 2 gallons of nuted water you are supposed to pour it right into the reservoir...

Very encouraging wookieslinger :P Thanks. I'll try just watching.

Sorry, don't know what happened with the pictures. Here they are again: And I read thru your grow journal, your PE looks way better at day 12 than mine does at day 9. I have the same issues more or less with the leaf tips though. When I topped off my reservoir this morning I used ph adjusted tap...

Day 8 The Skunk #1 is looking awesome compared to the PE, I don't know whats going on with it. I called my hydro shop and the guy I spoke with told me to NOT use PH Up/Down after using my nutrients as it will cause nutrient lock-out. He said that the buffers in the FloraDuo should lower it...

Odlaw: I'll lower nutrient solution, but is PH Down not going to affect the nutrients? And as for pot size, I copied a fellow growers journal more or less, and he has amazing results every grow w/ the same procedure, so I figured going straight to the hydroton would work. The Skunk #1 has been...

First time hydroponics grower. Started a Pineapple Express fem and a Skunk #1 fem 8 days ago. Both were under a 400w HPS from day 2. Temperature in grow tent is 78-85 depending upon time of day/which fans I have running/temperature in room. Humidity is between 40-60. Both plants were on regular...

Day 7 Heres the closet I moved the Skunk #1 to as an experiment. It's vegging under a Mercury Vapor light until my HPS is free'd up or I can afford to buy another ballast. Temperature in the closet is 84, right now I have no way of pulling air out/in other than the hole I cut in the sheetrock...

Very informative, thanks man.

Day 7 Okay, so today I got home from work to check the PE and I noticed a tiny bit of yellowing in the edges of the first set of true leaves, and a the cotyledons look a little odd. I drained the reservoir and the PH was 7.2 w/ a ppm of 240 so I'm hoping that was the issue. Filled with 2 gallons...

The screen isn't in yet, but I'll get some pictures of it, the tent, and the Skunk #1s new environment when I get off work later tonight, as well as updates on the PE.

I did the bucket/towel trick, it helps a lot, just not w/ a TON of airflow going around the tent. I'll try not running the oscillating fan and see what the temps/humidity reach. I'm gonna scrog the PE to fill the tent. Already have it made, just waiting on the plant to get a little bigger before...

Actually I'm having small issues again. I can keep the humidity at 50% when the oscillating fan is going, but the temps get up to around 90. So then I turn the 250cfm fan blowing air into the bottom and it drops the temps down to around 84 but the humidity drops back down to 30%. Guess I'm going...

And thanks for the link, very useful information. I noticed that article suggests that a 24 hour veg cycle is less beneficial, however I've read a few articles by established botanists/horticulturists and they claimed that it was better to do a 24 hour veg as most of the growth during the dark...

I can keep the humidity at 40% with the temperature at 89 and the light is at 100% power. This is with nothing more than an oscillating fan blowing around the tent. I have a 4" duct running into the bottom that is fed by a 250cfm fan that pulls cooler air from the crawl space below my stairs...

Alright man, thanks, sounds very encouraging. And it's fine to start in on the nutes @ 10 days? And when I do so my water should be @ 300ppm? If I plan on using ONLY Flora Nova bloom, how often should I change the water? As of right now I'm changing it once every 2 days. The PH usually starts...

Thanks for the info, glad to see someone interested and trying to help. I think the humidity and the PH were the problem, as I adjusted the PH and raised the humidity by 20% and she's look a bit better. Just posted some pics of day 6 at...

Day 6 from seed. PH - 6.0 Temp - 82 Light - 50% power Humidity - 49% PE is looking better after raising humidity. Skunk #1 looks good as well. So I'm assuming by now that the cotyledon droop in the PE is natural and she should be fine for now? 1st and 3rd picture are the Skunk #1, 2nd and 4th...

I've gotten the humidity up to 50% with the temperature at 80. I'm running my HPS at 50% power at a distance of 2 and 1/2 feet from the plants, is this close enough/enough light? I don't want too much stretch in them as I plan to scrog and I'm limited in height. I've also adjusted the PH down to...

57 views and no replies? Odd. No love for the n00b?

I'm hoping that's the case. Anyone else got any input? And will do man. Thanks for trying.
