well this is the first time im trying hydro and got 4 blueberry cuts just put them in this morning there under 400mh with 6" cooltube and extraction and a 4" intake I have set the res at 5.5 ph 23C and 450ppm the temps while lights on is 25c and 20c while lights out..... any advice, thoughts good or bad please leave I will be uploading every couple days so feel free to subscribe and help me out
 
Well personally I would have started off with less nutes. Blueberry is known to be a light feeder and very touchy. I feel 450 is pretty high for a freshly planted clone. I wouldn't even feed really until you see new growth.

That's just me though.
 
ok m8 cheers il see how she goes in a few hours I have the feed on 24/7 with the blue drippers in I forgot to mention that
 
I am with Evo. Cut the nutes in half at the very least. They plants are shocked enough with the new home! Get some new growth happening and then judge from there! As already stated, if it is a true Blueberry, then it will definitely be a light feeder! Your PH is also low. You should aim for 5.8 and not 5.5.
 
Ok thanks for advice al be going back to check after footy cos a think the ph will raise it used to making me feed for soil when it had sat a while
 
ok so ive just been back along and added another 15 ltrs water and a bit ph down to get it up from 5.5 and try get the ppm down but this it what iv got...

also notice the pebbles are dry i have pulled the dripper out and placed in other side of pots i think im gona buy a 8 way piece so i can put 2 in each pot but i have placed them right near the rock wool cube so that stays moist and also left the feed running 24/7 at the minute

Cisses missing plenty but managing to put one in now n then, its like someones just told him to have a go anyway.

3Away points. I'm happy.
 
You may want to drench your medium by hand watering from the reservoir. I'm not sure if they are seeing enough water yet with them being so small and that not being top feed.

The clay will retain some water but most of it will go right through to the bottom but at least this way you no the roots are wet.
 
i have just done that this morning m8 and have the drippers along side the rockwool and they were moist but il be going back around tea time to check them again
