plants are looking good, the discoloration from the previous post is still there. a bit concerning. i installed a 8x8" light proof vent today hope to get temps down a bit.

Hey roll it up, it has been raining every day so the house is getting a bit damp. I put my ballast in a waterproof tray to keep it totally dry.
Changed and ph'ed my reservoir to 5.8 last night, when i checked it this morning it was at 7.1 but was readjusted to 5.8. I ph'ed at 10pm and it had risen to 7.1 but i readjusted it.
the dirt plant is going outdoors hopefully i will get a picture when its a bit bigger.
added a 80w cfl, though it could not hurt.
Thanks Mr.Smileyface i just read your two links they were bien.

my reservoir is checked and reset to 5.8 two or three times per day, each time it seems to be adjusted from about 7.1, I use Spring water (ph about seven)
the burn is making me nervous, but to some extent i feel they are too young to be developing deficiencies. What do you think?

I put a elbow in my out line today and it seems much stronger. i also am flooding seven times during the day, the plants are looking more healthy

plants are looking good, i will post a picture soon. I added five gallons to my reservoir (now 15 gallons). the ph seems to be fluctuating less.

When you added all that hydroton did you wash it and ph the water down to 5.8 and let them soak?. Otherwise looks great. if you find the money buy yourself a cooltube a small 250 cfm fan will be like you have no heat source.
Yes too young for deficiencies. Does look like some burn maybe from the light or heat.
Consider some silica nutrient additive to cement your ph levels down (such as pro tekt or silica blast)

I soaked my hydroton in 5.8 water for about 20hrs; although there are some obvious red stains on the trey where i can see that they were not entirely clean. Do you think it is important that i give them another rinse? Thank you for the advise, i usually wait for my plants to develop four nodes before i add any nutrients, when do you first introduce silica blast?

Personally i haven't had much in the way of cloning/seedling experience.(have some seeds going atm). but that sounds like a good time frame. Im not quite sure how early you should start adding it but according to http://botanicare.net/sites/default/files/BotanicareFeedSheet.pdf "after seedling/clone" so id assume as soon as you start feeding
PS whats the tds of your water? is it r/o?

Made some changes to the set up, individual pots seems a little more clean. changed the water, used tap water this time instead of bottled.plants are 21 days old.

I sent my ph pen back to hanna instruments about 10 days ago. Although it was calibrated the electrode was bad, i have been using a drip kit. plants are 32 days old and seem to be affected by the ph instability.
