1st timer needs HELP! - ***PICS***

[itsalways420]

Hi all, this is my first time trying this and I need some advice, some help and some feedback please.

I started 2 days ago, and had placed 12 Diablo OG clones in Rockwool in an ebb/flo tray, and 5 plants in a DWC tub right next to the tray. I am using a 600w suntube, with a dig ballast. The temp is always between 76 and 79 degrees. the water in the DWC is always around 66-74 degrees.

I fill and drain once a day and the PPM is at 700 to start.

Here is all the babies right after I placed them in the tray and tub 2 1/2 days ago.

Here they are now, after 2 floods.

Here are more pics of the some of the plants close up.

the right leaf is turning purple, the actual leaf is... WTF!

The middle of this leaf is turning yellow or brownish.

The new growth looks tiny and stunted. Why?

So here they are, is there a transitional wilting stage from being transplanted? Someone told me to raise the light, so i did, about a foot. From 20" to 3 feet high. They said because I cloned with floro's and they are being shocked by the 600w, don't know...

Also, a few other people told me to flood only once every 2 days, not every day...

So, if anyone can give me any advice, help, whatever, I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Also, 10 mins after I placed the bare rooted clones into the DWC tub, the roots were so white, they turned tanish real fast, and It cant be root rot that fast, I wonder since they are getting nutes now, they are sucking it in (liquid karma is so black and thick, or maybe the budswel). I know root rot is slimy, and I have no slime, just discolored roots. wadda you think?

[itsalways420]

anyone..... please???

 

[guitarzan420]

there's no pics bro

700 ppm for new clones is too much. you might want to flush with water and start with 1/4 strength nutes

 

[itsalways420]

damn, 700 was at 1/2 strength

 

[itsalways420]

what should it be at, the ppm?

 

[guitarzan420]

i start new clone transplants at about 200-250 ppm when i first pot them

 

[itsalways420]

i start new clone transplants at about 200-250 ppm when i first pot them

not pots, im using 6x6x6 rw cubes in a ebb traym also, my water is 220 ppm when it comes out of the faucet

 

[guitarzan420]

liquid karma will stain the roots. it freaked me out the first time

 

[itsalways420]

also, my diablo og strain can usually handle 700 ppm transplanted.

 

[guitarzan420]

gotcha on the cubes. i would use ph'd tap water then for the first few waterings and slowly introduce the nutes. i'd go to a hydroton in an ebb tray. rockwool starter cubes then right into clay pellets. you'll water more often(4 times a day 15 min) but 6x rockwool in an ebb and flow will be a biatch imo

 

[itsalways420]

but 6x rockwool in an ebb and flow will be a biatch imo

why? what am i missing?

[itsalways420]

can you see them now?

 

[guitarzan420]

cool got the pics now! imo e&f with that big of rockwool will be hard to water properly. it will require differing times of watering during diff phases. i think it would be hard to do is all because the rockwool can retain so much moisture the roots can rot easily. i'd drip or go with clay pelletts imo.
