Gotcha. Makes sense. How about one of those cheap ass humidifiers that you hook a 16oz Poland springs bottle up to?

I'll live inside the tent pumping CO2 and misting the girls every two hours is I have to. Haha. I do agree with the humidity change point you being up. Because in the little tent they live in for a couple days during germ was always extra warm and humid. What's up with that? Germ vs veg vs...

I really do appreciate all your guys help.

The only reason I moved them into the system so soon is because it's been really crappy weather here for a couple days, no sun. They started turning sideways like they were hurting. And there's still no sun likely this whole week around here. So I threw them under the lights. Good to...

Ok starting a log today of PH, PPM, and now adding Rez temp. (Forgot Rez temp)

Temps look decent! 70 deg. 64% humidity. 5.9 ph 300 ppm! Setting up timer for water now!

Lol yea. I gotta be honest. I'm to newb to even follow what he was getting at. I'm ignorant, but working on it

Yes sir. But this time I'm going to let the babies grow a bit. I literally put the first cycle of nutes in on day 1 transfer. Not sure if that hurt or not, but defiantly waiting a solid week of decent root growth before any nutes this time.

Thanks for the tips guys. I'm back in action today. Cleaned everything. Water was gross! Looked like my pool 2 summers ago, deadly. Seeds ready, exhaust pumping, timers for water and lights set. I'm going back to the rooter plugs because this is how I WANT to do it. It's just easiest...

Thanks for the reply. Great info. Yup, I basically flooded 24x7. My grow-rocks don't really retain any water, but the rooter plugs were soaked 24x7. Oops. I'm going to change my watering cycles to 3 per day to start. My temps suck!!!! It's a basement, so it's cool sometimes, really...

I'm back! Been busy as hell, and waiting on seeds. I altered my tent a bit. Did a 90 degree spin on the light so hopefully the vent can pull direct hot air from it, rather than setting up complex duct work.

As you can see in this photo. Im currently full of 45s or 90s, to get th exhaust out of tent. Should I make adjustment? Any expert advice before I get to adjusting? Thanks!!

Your advice/first hand knowledge is TOPS! Grow weed easy has been my bible basically, but a click and read shows my exact mix up of mixing mediums. Which basically destroyed my entire first grow. I'm pretty sure I could run my water 24/7, since recycled rocks don't obtain hardly any water...

It's official, I killed everything. Going to clean up, set up exhaust fan, and be completely ready to go this time. Got a huge supply of ph down. A ph pen, and a ppm pen, and a 400 cfm exhaust. (Should I buy a control panel to adjust the exhaust fan? The thing is crazy powerful.) Also...

Aww man, that's to bad. Sounds like you've at least figured out what to do moving forward. How'd you go about that anyways? Just dropped them right on top of your rocks? Any lights or water running while you did that? I'm pretty sure I'm ready for round 2. Unless these guys resurrect...

Thanks a lot for that info! It makes perfect sense with the rocks vs soil. I removed the drip rings and grabbed the soil pod which basically exploded everywhere. Cleaned it up and placed back. Also, thanks for the PH references, I'm learning a ton. I feel so much more confident just from...

Yes, I have been waiting. I assumed it needs to circulate a bit first. I also double check the ph readings. One from the drip and one from the drain of res. It seems the PH is finally dropping. It was roughly 25 gallons filled. (One thing I need to do is, mark my res somehow so I can...

Thanks gypsy. I already fed them once . They immediately got shocked and were turning brown, so I just flushed. I really want to stick with this setup, as it's not even complete yet, before trying anything else. Im not afraid to fail completely and start over. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply mike. I feel like I'm overwatering. My drip rings run 24/7 currently. I used regular tap . Im currently exploring R/O setup options. I fed once a week ago with 1/4 strength "general hydroponics 3 pack". Once they started looking unhealthy I changed the water. My PH...

This can be a great "what not to do" guide for first time hydro growers. I started my first aero grow. I've done one minor soil grow before with decent results. I'm defiantly in over my head, but not giving up at all. I started my screw ups not getting enough seeds. Only bought a 5...
