What up everybody this is 28 days in veg and my plants have almost made a full comeback. It was a rocky road there for a few days but all plants are looking good and healthy once again.
The first 2 pics are the second option for a filter on my passive intakes. I just wanted to see how it would work out and so far I like it. It's just some Scotch Brite pads attached to the door with Velcro.
Here are my babies and they're starting to grow like weeds.
I had to trim the four bottom fan leaves off each plant because they were dead and crispy.
I just increased nutes to almost 800 ppm Yesterday afternoon and they're just loving it. I'm gonna raise it to around 1000 ppm later today just before lights out. pH has been holding steady @ 6.0. I usually get the pH around 5.5 to 5.8 but it always rises to 6.0 and holds so I'm not worrying about it just as long as it holds @ 6.0 I'm happy.
The temps have been doing well. It seems that it varies from day to day, why I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with the conditions outside, heat, humidity or maybe even barometric pressure. On most days it doesn't go past 82* and the humidity is @ 40% by the end of the day. Today it's 13 hrs into the light cycle and it's already 83.7. and 24% humidity.
Okay so there you go. Thanks for looking.

Thanks man I put a lot of thought into this setup, now I just hope it all pays off.
Thanks dude I'm glad to have you aboard.
Yeah I should have put up a pic when they first got sick the difference is night and day. At first I didn't think they were gonna make it.

Biggest one is 9" and the smallest is 7". I thought they would bigger than this at this stage. The bigger fan leaves are blocking out some light to the interior. I have lots of new growth in there trying to pop out past those leaves.
What up dmoose? I haven't seen you around to much lately. I'm glad you decided to stop by.

I increased the nutes again and finally got the pH to hold a steady 5.8 I decided to post a few more pics
Enjoy.
This one is the runt of the four and looks a lot different than the others. Not as much interior growth and if you look at the very top you'll see some leaves curled under. I'm not positive but it may be from the shock it was in last week. If this is not the case, could this be a sign that plant is trying to tell me something?
On this one, here is a pic of new growth from the interior you can see the branch is bent from trying to get out from behind the fan leaf. I pushed the fan out of the way today to help it out. Hopefully I get some more height out of these babies in the next week. Also pic # 5 from above is the same plant with the fan in the way.
Just a random pic of new growth.
I may bump the nutes up again. The plants seem to be responding nicely. I've been increasing the nutes 5ml of each at a time. Plus they they seem to be using it as fast as I give it to them. Yesterday the ppm was 980 and today it's 890.
I probably wont post anymore pics till Wednesday. I like to compare them from week to week. Thanks for looking and as usual all comments are welcome Whether they're good or bad.
Now it's that time of the day again for a
Peace.

I'm still Lurking...... I just havent had anything to add, you got things under control and seem to be taking off now!You know you have it Dialed In, when the ppm's stay the same as they drink up the water. Looks like you are getting close to what they are asking for. Except for the Runt, the curling leaves on top is usually a sign that the mix is high in N, may just be taking a little more time to recuperate, the others seem very Happy.
Good Luck.. Keep up the GREAT Work!

What's up everybody? My plants are still doing well and growing daily. I decided yet again to purchase a new toy for my grow op. As you are well aware my well water sucks and is unusable due to 920 ppm and pH at 7.3. I had been using Culligan water but I finally realized that was gonna get expensive as well, considering it's $5.00 bucks a bottle and I'm using around 7 to 8 gallons a week. I wanted to buy a RO filter but my water pressure is to low to successfully operate one. So I broke down once again and bought this water distiller. The distiller is only about half the price of an RO filter and it makes 1 gallon of distilled water every 4 hours and can make 5 gallons of water a day. I just wanted to show you all the junk that's in my well water. So after distilling 5 gallons of water I tested it and to my surprise the pH went from 7.3 to 5.7 and the ppm went from 920 to 10 ppm. I'm really satisfied with my purchase so far.
Here are some pics of the sludge it removes from one gallon of my water.
Here is the distiller in action.
Here is the lid of the distiller after distilling one gallon of water.
Here is the stainless steel boiling chamber after distilling just one gallon of water. Check out all that sludge that's left over. It's some nasty stuff, just imagine drinking this water for a while.
See all that white stuff on the bottom and the sides. It must be highly alkaline for my pH to drop from 7.3 to 5.7. All I should have to do now is add the nutes, no more messing around with trying to adjust my pH. I haven't used it in my res yet but when I do I'll report back.
Peace.

Hey josh what's up. Are you getting ready to start another grow or what?

I just mixed up a new batch of nutes and the pH went from 5.7 to 5.0. So I guess I might still have to adjust my pH a little but I will just have to wait and see when I do a full res change. Usually when I make up a new mix my pH always rises a bit when I add it to the res.
I'll report back when I have more info.
