Hi...im hoping someone here can offer some advice...this is my first real grow...my girls arent looking so good in their first 24 hours of sprouting
What STRAIN are you growing? ak-48 fem
What was the establishing technique? (Were the seed or clone?) seed
What is the age of your plants? 5 days from seed...36 hours from sprouting
What PHASE are the plants in? (seedling, vegetative or flower) are the plants in? seedlings
What Technique are you using? aero/bubbleponics...two 45 gallon tubs will be filled with 25 gallons each...there are four 5 inch net pots in each one and both tub lids are lined with chicken fench for a reverse scrog/lst approach i plan on using
What substrate/medium are you using?(Hydroton, RockWool etc.) seed into 1 inch rockwook cubes that were presoaked in sub 6.0 pH tap water left out for a day before use...the cubes were sitting directly on the plastic tray and once i noticed the tap roots popping out of the under side of cube i added the hydroton to the tray...there is also a heating pad under the tray to keep it warm
What is the Nutrient temperature? no nutes yet...they are still in the mail
What Nutrient's are you using? i will be using the GH lucas formula...its cheap and its my first grow
What is the TDS/EC/PPM you are using? TDS and digital pH meters are also still in the mail...the tap water im using comes out at TDS 111 mg/L according to the local water authority
What is the pH of the "Tank"? my junk pH kit only measure between 6 and 8 pH...the tap water is 7.5...i used GH pH Down to get it down to below 6 for the first 3 days but i saw them coming up a little yellow on the 4th day i flushed the cubes with water that was around 6.8-7...i think i may have used too my pH down and was too far below the 6 mark that i cant read with the test i have
Are you sure your calibration is correct on your equiptment? no...its an aquarium test i bought for 6 bucks...the meters were purchased with all the calibration solutions
When was your last watering? 36 hours ago...some of the rockwool is still soaked
When was your last feeding change? (ie. grow-bloom-micro-additional) n/a
What size bulb are you using? sunlight....the 600 watt mh/hps is still in the mail with everything else....i ordered all this shit exactley 1 week ago from htgsupply and the order didnt leave there wharehouse until this morning...fuckers...they gave me an extra bulb for the wait...allegedly
What is the distance to the canopy? n/a
What is your RH Factor? 40%...ish
What is the canopy temperature? about 68 degrees
What is the Day/Night Temp? (Include flucutaion range) 65-70 seems to be the trend
What is the current Air Flow? (cfm etc.) nada
Is the fan blowing directly at plants? n/a
Is your water HARD or SOFT? 111 ppm is kinda soft, isnt it?
Has plant been recently pruned, cloned off of or pinched no but i think the tap roots sticking out of the bottom of the cube have taken a beating from all the moving around theyve been thru
Have any pest chemicals been used? If so, What and When? no
Are plant's infected with pest's no
please let me know what you guys think about the coloring of the newly sprouted...shouldnt they be green already? whats up with the yellowishness to them? im worried theyre not going to make it...
they are looking much better already...just geting them off the plastic and into the window light has made them open more and turn green...9 of 10 are showing green...and 1 is still mostly inside the rockwool...i still think they look a lil retarded tho and im wondering if im going to get the 8 plants im looking for....should i start the lucas formula now? should i add something else instead? when should i start the nutrients?
thanks!
