my first bubbler

I brought home these clones from the store last friday and they've been in these homemade bubblers since...since i got them as clones I'm guessing they are about 2+ weeks old?

some of the bottom leaves have turned yellow and wilted up but since theres been some new growth I havent been to worried.

Those are two 32w flourecent lamps. I have a fan to keep circulation and a humidifior to keep the moisture between 40 and 60%. The temp stays around 77 to 82 degrees.

I have a 4'x4' grow tent with a 600w hps lamp, 6" inline fan with a carbon filter for my flowering room when they are ready.

This is my first grow and any thoughts, comments (good or bad) are greatly appreciated. thanks

Umm...were you gonna post pics or should we just use our imagination?

I dont have much experience with bubble but they look a little over watered. They just look a little droopy. My plants only ever get like that after watering, they always perk right up though.


Clear reservoir is bad news. water + light = algae...and nutes just make it grow faster. 2 weeks old? have you replaces your res water yet? You should be replacing your res water every week to be safe, and a light proof res will help.

its ok, the imagination probably would've taken him a while.

thanks for the input...i thought they might be getting too much water...as you can see the net basket is sitting about 1/2 in in the water...should i leave it as is or move them up little?

..........Can't argue on that one.

Sniper..sounds like you're on the right track. What nutes will you be using?

Dude they look good. they are going to be droopy w/ no root strucure yet. Keep your water level where it is or higher and you will be fine. Did you use a rooting hormone? Is the stem wait or have root develpoment yet?

Then when the roots hit exit the netpot i would slowly drop the water level to 1-3 inches below bottom of netpot.

Also wrap your bucket and lid in aluminum tape or algea is in your near future. It looks like shit but it gets the job done.

No im not using a root hormone...should I?...and how often should i need to water the rockwool?...

and im also not sure how far down i should plant the cube in the clay pellets?

...i'm also using general hydroponics nutes!
