First Grow (AG PRO 200)

I got a cheap EC meter on Ebay for 20 euros. Seems to work fine. I wasn't going to bother with one either, but from what I've read about Hydro its a needed piece of kit.

i just planted my sprouting seeds today this is my first time trying to grow so bomb ass pot sum white widow. I put the seeds in cups of moist soil and put them out in the sun light. How many days before i notice them growing? and what kind of care do they need ? like i said im new at this and just wanted to give growing sum good a try its a lot better and easier in all ways to go out ur back yard and pick ur own then u know what it actually is and how much ur actually getting so if anyone could help me out with thwe questions that would be awsome

It depends on your setup and how big your res is.

with a 1 gallon res, you are measuring your concentration @ the exact value.

Just ordered some pH UP and DOWN, got a pH pen as well, did you get your order?

My res is about 11 gallons so i thought I'd get one. I'm due to go on holidays in a couple of weeks so I made my res big enough so it will last the week I'm away unattended.

I just hope I don't come back and my plants are dead. Can't really trust anyone to come over and keep an eye on them. The less people that know about my grow the better. To many dodgy robbers around here.

Sweet jesus thats a massive res, lol

Probably a good idea to get an EC meter for something of that scale.

Nah, still waiting on it.

I think I just got fucked on the shipping costs.

They sent it UPS ground.

I have tracking for it, but I doubt ill see it before friday, no estimated ship date or anything

Day 20 Update:
Plants looking good, the ugly duckling is growing regular leaves now.

All they needed was some lower pH water I guess.

Day 20 Update
Yea so the plants are looking great now, the ugly duckling is growing regular leaves now.. =]

Looks like all they needed was a pH adjustment and a haircut.

Lopez Nice pix dude.. I know im a few day late but your setup it fucking great.... keep those pix comin..

Lurkmaster,
I think im having the same issues you are having. I'm only on day 6 from seedlings... She seems to be making very good progress but this morning when i took a look at it.. Im starting to get discoloration on the tips of the 1st set of actual leaves... when I got home from work the discoloration has spread further down the leaf... any suggestions?? The Ph is problably in the mid 6's and I never added any nutes because I misplaced the fucking starter nutes... so anywayz I just freaked out and andded half of a small nute tab to see if that does anything. Oh and that PH down stuff sux... it says 2 drops per gallon... bullshit. Morelike 60 - 100 drops per gallon... Any feedback from ANYONE would be great...

also... is it possible I have the AG hood too close to the plant... about 3-4 inches

the hood is at the right distance.. 3 inches is safe

These shots are blurry but you can see the discoloration im talkin about......

Yea idk man its pretty hard to tell with those pics, if you pH is above 6.0 that could be your problem.

pH down works, just not as advertised. It takes 2 drops to lower each gallon .1 So its about 10 drops to get a full jug to 6.0

jus looks a lil burned, flush the rez, and let it chill with some pH'd water for a couple days

This post got lost in all these other replies so I'm just going to reopst the pictures.

haha yea, for some reason all the new guys always post there questions in your thread, but we got alot goin in the AG Guide. But the ladies are lookin better, i saw a shot in the AGG haha and they looked pretty bad, its hard to wair for them, as you kno im goin thru some shit and at times i just wanna start over, but they have been thru too much

Yea I'm a really impatient person and I start over on shit all the time, its just the nature of my job and the design progress, but I've been trying to be patient with these plants. I feel like I'm always messing with them though, lol.

So far the Dr. is not coming through it looks like, no charges on my card, no billing confirmation email :/

dr chronic? that guys is a scam man, they have a seed bank review section, you should checc it out, i heard attitude is good, i might order from them
