Great. Made adjustment to the light by adding a few "Y's" to get 3 lights over each bigger plant. The girls still did not go to normal-- leaves sticking straight up. So I waited and waited. It looks like the bending of the leaves was to allow the sun shine in and the smaller nodes to excel. So I have a little burning but I think the girls grew out a little and are getting more little chutes. Having a hard time now getting the temp under 85F deg. I need a bigger fan. But I have no loot to get one. Maybe I can coax a friend to give me one.
PH rising all day. 6.7. I'm working to get it stable. Add 5ml if PH down before I left this morning and 5ml again just now.
I could not keep the heat down, they stopped growing and some real shitty looking stuff showed up in the tank. Temp got up to 85F in the tank for 2 days in a row. Its getting warmer outside. I've learned to keep the solution in the tank cooler and cover the top of the tank with mylar to deflect the heat away from the nutes. I will use freezer packs that get used to keep lunch boxes cool to keep the tank cooler when it gets too hot. Anyway, I soaked them with PH 5.7 water for 48hrs and sun light until leaves started looking a lil yellow. Then I gave them 1/2 strength nutes for 24 hrs and then continued with the week three schedule of GH. They are growing well again. Whew again. DWC maintenance is no fun. It has been 4 fridays since I got them. I put the girls in a closet for 36hrs. I will get them out tomorrow @10:30AM and start 10/14 light cycle. Wish me luck. This is my first time. PS they are looking okay considering the trip they've gone through. I've also learned to make up the solution the day before the change. That will allow time to stabilize the PH so that burns dont happen. CHECK EVERYTHING b4 putting the girls in harms way.
