Dr4g0n3's First Hydroponics grow.
- Thread starter dr4g0n3
- Start date
I took your advice (and what I was honestly thinking today at work) and lowered my light 3 inches so its super close. I put my big fan on top of my bulb unit, and it does not get warm at all.
Checked pump today for "goo" wasnt aware of this gunk until a post today, only noticed salt like substance on top of the pump, fins clear of any substance. also turned up pump speed.
2nd sprout has roots coming out bottom now
first sprout had a root about a foot long now, no longer taking it out of its spot.
two flowering plants, both are leaning, I untied so they can bush more later
I may just dump the double branch plant and keep the single stem for later.

It looks like it is doing well. I usually have a few extra clones and weed out the runts and throw them away. That would be my only suggestion. If you have more to choose from you can take clones off of the dominant ones and let those ones live on and not worry about runts in the future.
Thank you for the post, I plan on making a another aero system after seeing how to make them here, and use one CFL per clone, I also plan on having them far enough apart I can pull them and put it in my bigger system once those plants are done.
I will for sure take from the stronger plant, good advice.
Day 7: Flushed whole system, salt like substance on bottom of system, removed this during removal of all water.
Day 8:
City planned a scheduled power outage for work in the area, moved plants from box to sun lit area until power returned
Day 9:

Lowered PH,
Upping dosage of nutes tomorrow.
Bigger plant going strong,
smaller one still going, just not as strong.

Day10
The stem is so much thicker then the plants I grew previously, note to self, never half ass the lighting, just pick up a unit for 150 and be good.
upped my nutes today. my bigger plant is getting huge, every time I look at it I see a huge change. growing atleast 25% a day currently.

Thanks man!
Another update. my White Widow Seeds showed up today, Put two into peat plugs and if they sprout ill throw them into the net cups where the two flowering plants are,. and say "screw it, time for anew"
They will grow under HPS lighting. Why not??
cause they are in net cups in my system, I dont have room for them, only a 4 slot system.
The only advice I'll give is not to over manage your plants.
You're doing fine, just thought I'd give a friendly reminder. One newbie to another
Came home today and my babies drank 3/4 a gallon of water. also added two more bubblers and flipped my WW babies into the other slots.
Root system is huge on my two plants. tons of super fine fingers coming off the roots.
No discoloration to my leafs.
also think two big plants are fems, have the pistol things on the sides, dont see nuts on them.
