Looks sweet.. I'm no expert, but if I were you, I'd be on my toes for more like 2 weeks.. Those pups look pretty developed, and are sucking the stores out of the leaves really nicely.

not quite ready but give it two weeks of flushing and it will be done, I hope... No microscope, some i am basing my facts on a picture taken with a digi camera and blown up on my laptop, and the color of the hairs.

I'd get that pocket scope like others suggested .. The wrong tool, like your camera, can get fooled by odd light reflection, etc. Hair color means nothing.

Get a 30 or 60X back-lit scope --- $5-10 many places -- you don't wanna screw this part up.

I looked at that bubbleponics rubbermaid by stealthydro and that's what gave me the idea to raise the water. Cause really as long as you're putting the air into the water the roots will take it all. I thought there had to be a gap where there could be roots at the top of the bucket to receive air while the bottom ones would take in the nutes. They were growing fine that way but i'm always open to try new things so i raised the water... we'll see what happens. Really by doing this I'm able to add more nutes to the rez but still keeping the ppm the same = more for the plants. The last change I was at only about 10gal and now I brought it to about 13gal.

That's a really good idea about the paint and then being able to put white tape on there. I will look into doing that because I always have one extra rez for my next weeks change out. I could paint it this week and then tape it up white. I've looked for the black colored ones as well I know what ya mean.

naw naw ur plant wont eat that much..u gotta change the water out every 10-14days anyways.. i grow hydro and in my opinion ur overwatering ur plants and i can tell just by lookin at ur pics..and u gotta make ur roots work for the water u dont need the soil balls to get wet, the roots can sense where the water is and they'll reach and grow till they reach it and while they reach for the water ur plant reach's (grows)..i made that same mistake, this must b ur first time so take my advice playa and lower ur water level if ur roots r showin

Organic soil grower here. I was eharmony 420 but the whole hydro thing, while easy, only got me an ounce a plant in 5in rw.

So I went organic soil and wow is it easy and healthy. Also I just upgraded my ebay economy ballast 400 to a lumatek digital 400 right outa the box. It is awesome, much brighter, and quiet and no heat. No interference.

I will post pics of my girls. Still little a few weeks in veg.

I have 4 lr2 fems in 3 gallon soil, 2 white widow skunk fems in ultamte 5 gallons, 1 widow cindy, 1 mazar afghan. All doing good.
