Grow Mediums 1st DWC grow and Think different from DP journal

I am currently dealing with the same problem with a berry Ryder I lowered the water so bubble pops are getting the rockwool wet hopefully making the roots search.had the same problem a couple of other times different genetics.they stayed mini's one or two grams.not trying to discourage you.your guys are still young.mine looked a week old at40 days.
 
okay now here is todays pictures.. day 13 from sprout.. all 3 plants roots have reached the bottom of the net pots now! And look healthy pure White!

and I just start spraying the foliage with Rhizotonic and ph balanced water.
using 1/4 teaspoon of Rhizo per gallon. just gave them a light spray today.

but still the new growth looks healthy in my opinion.

still have # 2 and 3 at about 200ppm and #1 at 300ppm at about 5.6 ph

Here is #1 looking good

#3 alright

View attachment 291989View attachment 291991

Tomorrow will be the start of week 3. 14days from sprout. suggestion????
#1 looks the best with the higher ppm & the others look hungry

has anyone else had the problem of no roots popping out of the mesh pots? never had that with non autos but never grow an auto? how would you fix it drop the rw cube to the bottom of the mesh pot and let the bubbles hit? or is having a bit of hydro at the bottom of the mesh pot then putting the rw cube on top of that? WITCH IS THE RIGHT WAY FOR autoflowers?
Sometimes takes a while bro ... be patient !,they will show up :smokebuds:
 
im doing a res change 2night and upping the ppm..
 
they're about 2 blow up don't worry

:stylez rasta smoke:
 
looking good! will have a update here in a day or 2..
 
What's up AFN! I'm super excited to be getting this going. anticipation is killing me. I been spending a lot of time around these girls and reading forum after forum. its been almost 3 years or longer since I been around a plant.

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks now from seed! time is moving fast and its only getting better! on Monday I will be getting some new toys I have to get material for this Carbon filter I am making out of a 5gal bucket. A box to put my 6in Inline fan in to muffle the sound. Since it is basically a closet grow. So I ordered a 1000w MH bulb that will be coming in the mail!
Also I need to get 1 L both of Canna Rhizotonic and Cannazym..

planning on having the MH light cool tube carbon and fan going in a week or so. and then use the T5's to start some new beansters in like 3 - 4 weeks!

but that's the set up here are the baby's

Below here is plant number Uno. ha. looking lush. ha
her swimming pool is PH at 5.6 and PPM 435
she's growing fast! her stalk is thick its crazy. and is starting to drink the water since the change on the 5th I had to top some water in the bucket to bring the water height back up. and looks like will have to do the same tomorrow. the PPM have dropped but nothing significant. shes bushy already love it! :D:​

her is #2 and she is stinking up the place right in the center of her new growth smells like fresh gang plant also I rubbed her stem and the stench wore off on to my finger tip. kind of crazy was not excepting. when I upped her nutes she took a beating but not enough for me to dilute the water. shes sitting in at about 400 ppm and the PH at 5.6..

#3 had a fight and I had to dilute her water a bit from 400ppm to about 350. burn marks were getting to close to new growth so I had too. but shes looking great at the moment but her roots are growing fast and excepting this one to be getting real healthy real quick..

whats up... AFN I need your help more then ever. I did a res change yesterday I stretched it 10 days instead of a week been busy. sooo
the pictures are from yesterday. and this is day week 4 from seed.. quick run down of nute levels this is all mixed into a 5gal jug.

35 ML grow
17 ML base
15 ML silica
25 ML Rhizo
12 ML cal-mag
========== 500 ppm............ I am running plant #1 at 500ppm #2 450ppm #3 at 400ppm I had to cut her down ......



soooooooooo I woke up this morning and notice the roots changing color so I went and put some h2o2 in the buckets..
I also been having problems with marks on the leafs I thought things were getting better but #3 took a hard beating and really still have not recovered yet and is almost getting worse. leafs are almost moldy. I had suspicions but then when the roots poped out and were white I thought all was good.. it seems like #2 has been in a funk as well and showing leaf marks..

I switched over to 600watt HPS Because the MH bulb I purchased did not work. are they just taking a beating from the HPS or what it has been about 4 days now running the HPS. I think my bucket temp was to high before changing the res yesterday..

mean while #3 was looking so bad I started this cotton candy seed delouse seeds that I have received for free from attitude seeds.com
yester day will post some picks once in RW cube.. and going to also get formulex or some kind of baby feed to be more gentle. but here they are

okay here is #1 like I said before 500ppm that's .7 ec the only one that seems to like the HPS even tho #2 is coming around now.

Here is #2 around 450ppm she has like speckled spots all over I stopped spraying them down with the Rhizo when I put the lights up.

Hey bud:smokebuds:looks like upping the feed helped the 1st one but 10 days later shes ready for another 100ppm id guess .Make her res upto 600 / 650 ish

#2 im guessing is showing signs of hunger & wants more food as well now ... try 600 with her as well but top off with water if you see any tip burn

#3 looks so hungry shes almost eaten herself unless theres some other strange deficiency goin on ? (im not very good at diagnosing them !)...Id up her nutes to 500ppm like number 1 had 10 days ago & see if she picks up like #1 did .:check:

1 & 2 look the size & age to be at around 5.7 PH now ...but #3 is stunted & prob best kept at 5.6 until (if) she recovers.

Also 15ml of silica seems a lot & is very strong stuff bud ... depends what brand & concentration but its better to go real light with these supps & keep the res a basic as you can & these early stages .

Its easy to see that each plant gets worse the lower you have the PPM & should be telling you there asking for more feed dude ... from now on you will have to look at each plant seperatly & make up the res accordingly as there obviously all a different size & have different feeding needs & habits now .

remember to let the water stand for 24hrs out of the tap ...bubbling if poss & always add the hot stuff like cal/mg 1st :stir:,then silica:stir: ect:Coolio:

Hope they pick up for ya dude :peace:
 
also my res temps are about 24-26 c is that to high? also my humidity is around 25% should I get a humidifier
 
YES & YES ...Your in root rot danger zone @ 26oC "no"& over 50%RH is best for veg :smokebuds:
