Long time dreamer, first time grower and poster here! I've been reading a ton of threads on here for a while but haven't had a chance to talk yet, so HI!
I just built this system up two weeks ago, and got three clones in last week. I have been learning tons everyday and already made a small handful of mistakes. I ended up dropping a lot more money on this than I expected as usual, so now funds are low and I am in kindof an awkward grow moment.
Anyway here goes, I got a DWC bubble bucket system going, a 400w MH light, intake/outake fans set, and have reflectix in the majority of grow area.
Brought in 3 clones last week, but left door open and left the room right after transplanting, and my cat immediately pulled out one plant and started chewing on it
, needless to say even though I tried, that little girl didn't make it.
I actually transplanted one clone one night, the other two the next day. May have been a mistake not doing them all at once, as the two later ones were right away the weaklings. So now I have two plants, one doing great and one half-alive.
In the first couple days my heat was waaaaaaaay to high, reaching almost 100 degress a couple times. I immediately got another fan in, which brought my temps to 90-85 average during the day, 80-70 at night. I know I need better control over my temps but at the moment there isn't much I can do.
I have been changing my water every 7 days, and adding 1/2 strength nutes, Ionic Bloom.
Now let me introduce my plants:
This is Bertha, she is Blue Cheese and doing pretty damned well! About 6 inches tall, good lookin leaves and roots. The last couple days these brown spots started showing up along the tips of the sides of leaves, only on a couple though. All in all plant is my one hope for this shit to work out, gonna put up a SCROG screen in the next couple days.
This is my other girl, she isn't and hasn't been doing good. Also Blue Cheese, her sister that was sick got cat mauled, but she has still survived with very little new growth. Had to clip a couple leaves, and she has been getting super yellowed tips. I figured getting the heat down was my most major issue, but compared to her sister she should be doing better. Any info or tips would be appreciated! I am waiting for pH tester to ship, so I haven't had any chance to test it yet or worry about pH, which I know is important but unfortunately overlooked till now.
If the second plant dies off I dunno what I will do, I can't afford more clones for another week and by then it'll be way too late to try and get all my plants on one light cycle for this harvest. It may end up being a one-shot-deal till then, which sucks cause i'm allowed 6 plants with my medical requirements so right now i'm wasting space big time.
I'm gonna see what happens to these plants and keep posting, i'd appreciate any tips, info, love, hate, or tomatoes so I know what to change. I know i'm a noob but I love this site and the community here and I plan on being a longtime member so lets do this together!
