Lol..yeah man, don't over-think things - keep it simple and things will come together. Stick to the basics and once she's rooted in it gets easier from there. Yeah don't sweat it - it gets past that stage in just over a week or so. I think it's partly the seedling adjusting to the amount of...

I'm not sure who decided that was a good idea - it doesn't make sense to me to introduce ANY nutrients to your system at the start if you plan to grow from seed... possibly if you're xplanting a clone into it, you may benefit, but even then it would be risky in my opinion. Seasoning your...

They're looking nice and healthy mr.green! Keep it up! :leaf:

OH!...lol..gotcha! Wrong type of 'clippings'. Okay, now I'm on the same page as you. :smile: I've started keeping my leaf cuttings as soon as the trichs start to develop on them. I just keep them in a paper bag close by the tent, in a dark corner. They dry up real fast that way and then go...

Hey there Robbie - finally dropping in to have a look! Are you keeping track of your reservoir temperatures? If your rez gets too warm, you can have that kind of repsponse from the roots, causing that kind of curling - and it also increases your chances of algae and root rot in the rez... If I...

You can take cuttings from your plant as soon as it's big enough to 'spare' losing a few shoots. When the right time is to do this would depend on the reason for doing it though I suppose... if you're taking them to root and force-flower in order to determine sex, then you obviously want to do...

Right on Dawg... it's true, new hydroton is a PITA causing high ppms and such early on during it's first use. Don't sweat it! Your seedling will pull through, and be STRONGER because of it...at least that's what I've seen happen. Try not to worry too much about it, and push through to that...

Heya Amber - no worries with the nutes at THAT low a level (> 50 ppms) - your roots are still not developed enough to be effected by that amount, so no need to worry! =) The pics look great - she's obviously getting LOTS of love! Once you start hitting 100 ppms and above, you want to make...

Completed most of the lower trimming on the VK plant this evening and took some quick snaps with my older camera - nothing fancy, just wanted to log some pics of the leaf piles and her bare legs... enjoy! :leaf: ...also a few pics of the AoS canopy and some closeups of the developing tops...

Hey SUb - thanks for checking out my grow! I'm a fan of your 'Dank' photo novels, so a photography compliment like that...well I really don't know what to say about that! I appreciate the compliments - yeah the Ace is super healthy, and responding very well to the waterfarm medium and the...

Careful there Dr.A - you probably want to give her a few weeks before starting any nutes... give her a chance to settle in a bit more first. :weed:

It's an honor getting props from you! Thanks hellz! Cheers for the rep as well - back at ya!

No prob man - I'm glad to be able to help! Yo - I actually did all of the super-cropping after those pics were taken. I don't abuse them so much that the tops bend over, just enough to break the cellulose in the stems in a few places... and I didn't 'twist' these ones, just pinched this...

Yeah - this is the best time to do the super-cropping (pinch and twisting), as it begins it's 2 week stretch. I'm bound and determined to keep the VK canopy as even as possible, but it's difficult to keep up with it's vigor! The AoS is just an all-around strong plant - massive tops are...

- Just finished a rather extensive 'pinching' session on the VK. All of the tops I could reach have been pinched in 1 or 2 places near the top, between the nodes. This will both help slow the stretch and encourage the tops to start bunching up sooner as they repair themselves. My last 3-4...

Hmm...thanks man. They were as high as 80 degrees there for awhile, but I think it's come down now to the 69-73 range which I'm happier with - although that's just a guess... I had one of those stick-on aquarium thermometers and it's gone now as I peeled it off..lol... I'll be getting some...

A few notes here.... - I had an interesting conversation with my hydro guy a few days ago - seems I need to lower my rez temperatures, as they are a bit warmer than they should be... I've been trying to lower my rez temps by keeping my add-back bucket on the cold basement floor so it keeps...

Hey there all - got some pics this evening before lights-on time. Some are fairly blurry, but overall not terrible. Enjoy these pictures - updates in the next few weeks should be quite interesting as the stretch really begins. So here....we......GO!!!! :leaf: :leaf: :leaf: :leaf: :leaf...

Hey man - surely you're seeing some changes by now... :smile: Got any new picsies?

As mentioned, the extra dark 'theoretically' initiates flowering faster and can help with stretch and such. I actually didn't end up doing this though. I just shortened my lights-on time by 6 hours on Friday, so they ended up going directly to 12/12. I did the extra dark time between cycles...
