I understand youve been using tap but i remember some of your babies didnt make it, probably due to ph problems.RO water is just a process used as well as distillation. The purest water is distilled. RO water usually has a tds or ppm of 6 or 7 depends but very low none the less. RO water is the water in the machines outside of grocery and convienent stores thats 10 cent a gallon but pain in the ass unless you got one or two of the 10 gallon dispenser jugs like in the waiting rooms of doctors or dentists offices. RO machines are small and can easily be hooked up under your sink. You dont have to use ro water, but im in soil and still use it! Hydroponics is no joke! Nutrient uptake is instant!Your PH has to consistently be 5.6 to 5.9 You mess up once throughout flowering your yeild is done and you just wasted all that time and money. My only advice in hydro is to spend the extra doe and have everything you need and have it dialed before you bring plants in.

my other 2 plants died because i gave them nutes to early.. ive been keeping them at around that ph just cant do it now but ill def have everything before i start flowering

Guys my pineapple chunks not looking good at all i know i fucked up but its my first grow it wasnt going to be perfect but i didnt expect it to be this shitty. Atleast now i have the knowledge to grow correctly for my next grow.. I was thinking should i just give up on her and throw my other 2 ladys into flowering ?

Got a pic?
I wouldn't give up completely,how bad is she?
If she has any undisturbed nodes you could still get something growing.

she doesnt bro she was kinda young all her leaves are discoloring and curling up.. my other ladys are ready to go into flowering so i think ima start them today

I decided to throw these ladys into flowering today.. as u can see i put them in there own bucket, im hoping that she will start growing idk y her growth got stunted. The other one is growing beautifully tho now i just gotta wait 2 weeks to see if there female!

Anyone know whats all that building up in the res ? idk if its the ph down or what but i mixed it in really good this time and it keeps happening. I think what ever this is killed my other plant

do you have someone you know that can donate female clones to you?

nah i wish

What are the temps of your water, is there any light penetrating your buckets? It almost looks like you have bacteria and the beginning of root rot issues. I had a huge problem with it when I first started, I couldn't keep my water temps below 78. optimally you'd like it high 60's. also with plants that big in a DWC system like that your roots should be the size of a melon already.

dont know the temps but its cool to the touch and i doubt its root rot its most likely the powder ph.. and ill take a pic of the net pots later theres not really any roots coming out but she keeps growing i dont get it

I took out the foam and it stopped doing that should i just leave it alone?

The shorter one doesnt seem to be growing shes been the same size for a week or 2 now and shes starting to get spots on her leaves, should i just grow the one thats doing well ? i was thinking about throwing her back into veg once i see if shes female or not is that possible? im trying to yield as much possible if ima be growing just 1 plant.. would it be worth keeping her on flowering from here on out or should i put her back in veg and let it get a little bigger ?

week 1 of flowering (sorry for the bad quality my phone broke) The taller one is doing well the shorter one is growing just really slow, i was just going to grow the tall 1 but the short one is growing roots so ima just let her grow out. the only problem im having now is temp issues but im getting an a/c asap. hopefully ill b able to tell by next week if there females!

i topped 3 nodes just to see what the outcome will be.. also for my next grow im thinking about growing some autoflowers, has anyone ever grown autoflowers and do you recommend it? i know that they yield less and are less potent but 2 months from seed to harvest sounds pretty good to me. i could grow atleast 5 in this tent if i put em each in there own bucket. im just having trouble on picking what strain to grow i was leaning towards ultra lemon haze and afghan kush ryder..

The grew a set of balls on me guess ill be off this for a while till i get some seeds
