Ya overcorrecting my pH was kinda tough I bought a digital greenhouse cmh cause kinda poor got a sun system now old one has been good to me I worry about flooding so much but when I back off they get yellow I think I'm up to full suggested time for uv how far along are you I have never lollipopped so I figured just let the reds make them stretch
First hydro what am I doing wrong
- Thread starter fessie99
- Start date
wow that's cool it looks lollipopped March 10th I put mine in hydroton and flipped April 9th but counting from the 13th because of screw up 22 hr light did you finish in week 3 or those are the pics right
That's why I didn't never have and I don't want to mess them up are autos something you don't lollipop that plant looks sweet I don't think I will be that far along at week 3 I think they are taking there time I noticed the nodes are starting to not be straight across from each other

I think I have them dimmed to about 80%. Had a spell of root rot in the beginning. Ever since that cleared up she's been one happy girl. Have you grown before? Or is this your first? I've done a few in soil that I could never get to veg properly and gave up on them. I can't grow in soil. Hydro all the way haha
The ph is really easy to dial in. Ive got basic water... so I need to use about 10-30ml of ph down a week. Every day my buddy is checking the ph. When I'm home I checking every day. Ive been really pushing her with nutes too. Like full strength and she's blooming fantastically. My buddy says she has a fruity skunk smell to her

To answer your question from your other thread.
Flood and drain, ebb and flow, you cant really water too often, its maybe wasteful but the main thing is they are getting nutrients and they are get fresh o2 when they drain.
As for yellowing tops, looks like its in fast growing mode and its the less mobile nutrients not keeping up with the transition. Its normal. At least thats what it looks like from your pics.
Oh and 2EC is way overkill, especially in a situation where plants are getting watered so often.
Again, doesn't seem to be doing you any harm, just a bit ott
