all my clones did the same thing but they are alive and healthyI wouldnt worry about it.1700 That could cause you issues ,with clones its probably unheard of."Thats a mighty strong cocktail (10 K)"
I use lucas with no meter but I beleive you should be like 1300 maxI may be wrong though .They look healthy enough ,you might want to think about another air pump looks kinda small.
What line of nutes are you using.Alot of us newbies like the GH its simple.Do a search on Lucas if your not already commited.I Recommend reading MynameStitch"Guide to sick plants as well.You will need it and it saves time on asking ?'s
Good luck

Hey 3d
First of I would like to say anyone can join in here I dont think two grows qualifys me as an expert .
Back to 3D
GH=General Hydroponics Flora series GROW- MICRO-BLOOM in that order
LUCAS 0-8-16ml per us gallon
Lower the PPM's? I woud change out my res.DO NOT try to add or subtract anything I would try to get a stable base line,I dont own a meter but at your stage I would guees 900 (anyone?)
I would dump the nutes if I had no idea what it is or how long its been around(anyone?)
BTW Have you thought of SCROG ?
 
make sure your meters are calibrated properly, in my experience EC that high would have burned just about any plants that size... i mean i don't even see any evidence of crispy leaf tips or anything....

Looking at where your roots are I say things are about to explode as root mass starts to increase.

1700ppm? Damn! Whats the EC at?

What works for me is if EC goes up they are using more water than nutes so I give less nutes or more water depending. If ec goes down that tells me that the plants are using more nutes and diluting the water so I add more nutes.

Thats a scary looking root system for such a young plant. You can really do alot with that ONE. Looks like a 1pounder+ if you let her.

I really commend you on keeping such a clean res.

1 pounder? really?..how much longer should i let her veg?..i've had her for about 3 weeks and shes about 5 or 6 weeks old..well thats when the clones got roots(about 5 or 6 weeks ago)


im a very clean person..lol..and in the end i want to grow the best!..
