First DWC Closet Grow LST/SOG

[Porsche928s]

Welcome to my first grow!

I've wanted to grow for years and finally have a chance to do so. Just to get you up to speed I'm growing in a closet under a sunsystem switchable 250/400w system.
Currently I'm using a 250w MH bulb for veg and feeding my plants fox farm big bloom and grow big following their feeding schedule as best as I can. I plan to use my current DWC system to grow mothers to LST then clone and run the clones in Coco/Hydroton in a 60/40 mix and SOG under 400w HPS in a Grow Lab tent.

Hows this sound so far? Any suggestions ideas?

I may be getting ahead of myself because Im having trouble with my plants already. I left my plants for a few days and came back to a super high PH which Im assuming burnt em. They've still been growing pretty fast but it def stunted one of em. I started some new seedlings in rockwool jic I botch this run.

Check it out!

The leaves are burnt on the tips and have been twisting awkwardly too.

Day 12 Veg


Day 13 Veg





Had to put my hydro system inside another system to keep the light out and control temps (this is temporary while I try and find a way to completely light proof). After doing that growth exploded especially with the roots. My leaves are still twisting, does anyone know what causes this? I thought it may have been temp but after adding a fan it didn't change so I raised my light about 6 inches today.

The plants are about 4 inches tall and the nodes are very tightly spaced. There's about 3 true sets of leaves and once the fourth gets going I'm going to start LST.

The 2nd batch of seedlings I started are growing well in the rockwool being fed just tap water once a day. Most have roots poking through and I'm going to get them into pots of 60/40 coco hydroton ASAP.

PH issue possible.

I know that's the case with my plants. Except burnt tips, which indicate too much feed, and since you're following the nutrient guide, you're most likely over feeding also.

Thanx for the help. I'm due for a reservoir change so I think Ill cut back and see if that helps the ph seems to be steady but I'm using a test kit and not a an actual ph reader. I think I'm gonna invest.
