First Grow Journal (indica)

looks good, hows the feeding schedule working out for ya? I did'nt know you had them in big rockwool cubes, rockwool holds more water so it don't need to be feed 3 times a day. They look like they are on the right path, but I would'nt take them out of the hydroton anymore. Don't wanna damage roots! ya know!?

thank you again for the advices.
the bad news of the day is that my ph pen dosnt work anymore.
i only use it for a month ...
i caint calibrate it anymore when i put it in the 7 ph solution it shows 8.5
and i caint go lower then 8.5 when i try to calibrate to 7..

problems after another story of my life

Hello All once again a little update of my babys
with some questions

some of the leaves are curling up
i gave them water and the day after they were better
but once again they curling i only water once a day and today i didnt water at all cuz the rockwool is still humid in the bottom and completly dry at the top

im using a 430w Hg lamp
also blowing a fan in the room
Temp : 82F
RH: 45%
light : 18/6

i also have a 1000W Hps
Should i use the 1000W Hps instead off 430W Hg ?
cuz for the Hps one i have a cool Tube and maybe less heat

the Hydroponic shop didnt receive my growbox yet told me another 2 weeks so im just doing my best here.

All suggestions are welcome.

that light looks awful red, your plants will grow slow, use florescent t5 High Output tubes, daylight

that red is bad for growth

thank you like i say all advices are welcome
the thing is i only have 2x24w Florescent
i dont think its enoff...

and im not ready to put money well not right now

 

[bbighead]

u know of any cheap sites for the HPS lights.

 

[caddyluck]

I agree with bobby. too much light too soon. just a couple CFL's would be waaay better, plus save $ on electricity bill and you'd get better growth.

totally understand, slow is the way to go anyways, something to put on the christmas list indeed, hehe

 

[Mr. Skunk]

I agree with all the stoners, stick with flourescent lights until you begin flowering, the plants don't need that intense of a light until then.

 

[sllik]

ok thanks evryone ill try to setup something tonight with my two 24 watts.
so tomorow my babys gonna be on florescent light.
i have no experience in hydroponic or soil grow ill follow what you guys say.

once again some update
2 of them are just doing great
2 others are taking theirs time (the too much light too early maybe)

Never Give In !!

 

[bbighead]

Dam bro i love your set up i want to it just like that next time seems some what easy. Is it a drip system u have that u just put on a couple times a day or what?

 

[bbighead]

Did i ask you already what type of seeds you growing?

 

[Mr. Skunk]

I am enjoying your setup as well, what kind of nutrients are you using and when are you planning on flowering?

 

[sllik]

its an ebb and flow system and im using rockwool.im only watering once a day
for 2 min they dont seem to need more than that.
im growing some 100% INDICA
im using botanicare nutes
and im planing to flower in exactly 20 days cuz they are 40 days old.


and they are still under the 430 what i didnt switch for florescent cuz the first thing i leaned in RIU forum is : If its ok let it be.


here some pics of my new reflector im gonna install it tonight
