Lighting 1st DWC grow, BAM by Pal

Thanks for helping out guys, I've just been in and made up a fresh res:
60ml rhizotonic
24ml aqua vega
6ml CalMag
Also I'll try to keep the water temp closer to 20 deg to rule out the cold having an adverse effect.
Any other ideas and suggestions feel free to pitch in, do you guys think it's worth keeping her? I have two more seeds if need be? :peace:
 
Yeah bro don't ditch her, once you get it right changes will take place in a matter of hours. Things change fast in hydro, for the better or the worse.
 
Okey dokey I don't like to give up anyways, the thought of it actually made me a little sad! Hopefully I'll have some good news to report in the morning :group: Oh yeah and forgot to mention above, EC 1.0 PH 5.6 :peace:
 
Day 14

Okay guys, it's not a pretty update this morning but it's important that I record the good the bad and the ugly for future reference. PH drifted from 5.6 to 5.7 overnight but thats still in range I think. She continues to grow upward little by little I'm just waiting for the new growth to pop open now and see if they're getting enough CalMag from the new res. Suggestions, opinions, criticism all welcomed as per. Here's a few pics to see where she's at.

On the plus side she isn't dead. And her roommate is doing nicely, soil is so laid back in comparison :D:

try adding a bit more vegga mate ...upto 1.2 & see ? .My guess is she is a hungry bitch & got deff from underfeeding ?... if she does improve from there ,make a note to start with a higher EC next time .

What EC meter do you have Pal ? cheap ones can go out of cal quickly :shrug::smokebuds:

Okay bro I'll go top her up now, got a Bluelab so not much chance of that being wrong :peace:
 
Day 15

Afternoon all, not much to update but growth is still occurring, I took a few snaps outside the tent and she doesn't look as bad as when under the LED but I'm wondering whether or not I should do a res change with more calmag? And also when using CalMag, I know the standard rule for autos and nutes is start at 1/4 strength but what about dosage of CalMag? 1/2 strength? I've also raised the light an extra few inches because I always seem to get bleaching with my unit when I have it too close - she shot up a bit since yesterday because of that.
EC 1.2 (she's getting her green back slowly but surely, hungry little bugger)
PH 5.6
Res temps at 19-21 deg cel
This first picture highlights some leaf curl, thoughts? It can't be wind burn and the temp is never above 24 deg so can't be heat stress..cold stress?

Tips, advice, comments, anything always appreciated - it's nice to have people I can share this with because for obvious reasons it's a stealth mission :group: :peace:
