Looks good, What kind of water cycle, and how much water are you giving them?

right now i don't have them on a watering cycle I'm checking them every few hours to see how much water is being used at the end of the week when they mature a bit more im thinking watering every 2-3 hours

Just be carefull, it's real easy to overwater rockwool cubes. alot of guys say it's impossible, but I'v definitly learned otherwise. I see you listed nutes. Don't know if your using them yet, but if so I would hold off for a few weeks until you have some established plants.

yeah, im not leaving the pump on too long its a 400~gph pump so a few mins on will do the trick, as for the nuets i am using some but only 1/4 the dosage.

Packet. · Feb 22, 2009

just switched the timer on now so that the light isnt on 24/7 im doing 18/6 for 3 weeks. what i want out of these are female clones esp from the nebula

here are some more pics

Your getting some serious stretch there.
You should drop the light down.

Packet. · Feb 24, 2009

Yeah it looks stretched in the pics but i assure you they aren't that tall.
Here are some more pics i just took, added 2 fans in there just now.
i see that i have a burnt plant, definitely from the nuets its the only one, i guess its the weakest.
im watering them about 1 every 2-3 days or when the slab goes dry which ever comes first.

Good with the fans. You can keep one gently blowing across the plants 24/7.
Really helps strengthen those stems. They just a little lanky to me. If you can get your light a little closer, I think it would help out alot.

update: they are veging hard i didnt look at them all weekend and now there are leafs everywhere except for the small nebula in the back thats going slowly, they all have yellow tips on the leafs, guess its time to add 3/4 dosage of some nuets. i will post more pics once i get my digi cam back from a friend.

i was think of adding a 2nd pump to the res to keep the water flowing around instead of sitting still. good idea?

Packet. · Mar 5, 2009

here are some pics gonna let them go for another week veg state then 12/12

Packet. · Mar 8, 2009

they're looking nice, im only watering them once a day, i had to raise the light a bit because they started bending.

Packet. · Mar 8, 2009

i just trimmed some fan leafs off, i will post another pic one week from now to see the difference.

when is a good time to start "super cropping"?

Plants are looking good. What size tray are you using, and what is the size of your grow space? To keep the nute water mixed you could add another pump, but you could just add a small air pump with a stone. The plants will love the oxiginated water.
The plants are established well enough to super crop now, but unless you have height issues, personally I would wait a couple weeks.
