This is my first grow so I am very grateful for any advice you can give me. I just got these clones (approx. two weeks old) and transplanted them from soil to hydroton last night. They didn't look that great when I got them but now they are way worse.
How long has this problem been going on?
I just got them yesterday.
Are you growing in a PVC grow tent? (example: Hydrohut or any other non brand tents)
Custom cabinet. Covered in reflectix and sterilized with 95% alcohol before any plants went in.
What system are you running? (DWC? Ebb flow? Aero? Water Farm? Flood Tables? and so on...)
Custom flooded tube design (almost exactly like Heath Robinson's flooded tubes)
What STRAIN are you growing?
Sweet Tooth and Blue Dream
What was the establishing technique? (Were the seed or clone?)
They are clones
What is the age of your plants?
About two weeks old
How long have they been in there mixture they are in now?(coco,soiless etc..)
I transplanted them very gently from soil to hydroton using distilled water
How tall are the plants?
They range from 1 feet to 1 and 1/2 feet
What PHASE are the plants in? (seedling, vegetative or flower) are the plants in?
He said they just started the flower stage
What Technique are you using?
Flooded tube hydroponics
What substrate/medium are you using?(Hydroton, RockWool etc.)
Hydrotron
What is the Water temperature?
Room temp
What color are your roots? White? Brown? Are your roots slimy?
They are kind of white but mostly brown (I think from the soil)
What Nutrient's are you using?(If growing soiless)
None at the moment (only distilled water). But I have general hydroponics bloom and micro and was planning on doing the lucas formula
How much of each nutrient are you using with how much water? *Knowing the brand is very helpful*
N/A yet
How often are you feeding? (If using soiless)
N/A yet
How often are you giving nutrients? (If using soiless)
N/A yet
If flowering, when did you switch over to using Bloom nutrients?
N/A yet
What order are you mixing your nutrients? (example: veg nutes 1st, bloom 2nd ect)
N/A yet
What is the TDS/EC/PPM you are using
N/A yet
What is the pH of the "Tank"?
pH meter is in the mail and should be here by Friday or so. But it is currently just distilled water.
How often are you testing your pH/PPM/EC/TDS?
N/A yet
Are you sure your calibration is correct on your equipment?
N/A yet
When was your last watering?
Flooded tube waters all the time.
What is your water temps?
Room temp
When was your last feeding change? (ie. grow-bloom-micro-additional)
N/A yet
How often do you clean your system: example: Flush out water replace with clean water and nutrients?
N/A yet. But, I was planning on doing it every week.
What size bulb are you using?
One 400w CMH
How old is the bulbs you are using?
One month. Just started using it though.
What is the distance to the canopy?
The plants are in a vertical grow setup. The closest leaves are about 4-6 inches away from the bulb.
What is your RH Factor(Relative Humidity)?
Don't know yet.
What is the canopy temperature?
Slightly hotter than room temp when the light is on (thermometer is in the mail)
What is the Day/Night Temp? (Include flucutaion range)
About 65 in the room during the day and slightly colder at night (depending on how open the window is)
What is the current Air Flow? (cfm etc.)
There is one 400 CFM blower for the cabinet (probably 300cfm with the ducting and silencer) and one fan in the grow room.
Tell us about your ventilation, intake exhaust and when its running and not running ?
Ventilation and fans are running all the time.
Is the fan blowing directly at plants?
Yes, it is a very gentle breeze though.
Is your water HARD or SOFT?
Distilled water
What water are you using? Reverse Osmosis (RO)? Tap? Bottled? Well water? Distilled? Mineral Water?
Distilled water
If using tap water, what is the ppm/EC/TDS of the water right out of the tap?
N/A
If using RO,Distilled,mineral water, what is the ppm/EC/TDS without any additives?
Don't have the meter yet.
Are you using water from a water softener?
No
Has plant been recently pruned, cloned off of or pinched
Not that I know of
Have any pest chemicals been used? If so, What and When?
Not that I know of
Are plant's infected with pest's
Not that I know of
Here are the seven plants:
