Just done that! Dome is off! Thanks for looking out for me, nben. I will keep this thread updated as often as I can. Infact if anyone gets bored with too much updating do tell me and I shall slow down.
 
Man, you can never update too much! Updates provide data that helps resolve problems when they arise. Update, bro!
 
Agreed! It's your thread man! Do what you want with it :)
 
Go nuts, man....

Nobody HERE will hold it against you! :) Like Nben said...it's your journal! Update it 5 times a day if you want.
 
The people have spoken. Update your ass off!
 
Update

So here is the current status.
Ppm 167
PH 5.1
Things are looking good. Not doing anything like adding Nutes or anything else.

The water I have in the system is a little over a week old. How often do I need to change it?

Looks good! Like I said the water from my first nute solution I usually keep for two weeks. I see you aren't using nutes yet so you should be fine using it another week for sure.

I would try to tweak that PH up to at least 5.5. Again there aren't any nutes in your water so this might not matter as much. You want to keep it between 5.5 to 6.5. 5.8 is ideal but don't chase the dragon here. You will drive yourself crazy trying to keep it there. Just keep it between the extremes and you will do fine. Since yours is a little on the low side you should be able to get away with just adding a little tap water if yours is naturally high in PH. Mine comes out at around 7.9 - 8.0 so it's just like natural PH up for free ;)

After she gets going and you incorporate nutes you will want to change the water weekly.

Sorry if it's a while until I can get to the site. I work alot and the weekends are my busiest times. You are doing really well!!

Keep watching those leaves. If there is any sign of yellowing you will want to get nutes in there ASAP.

Edit: Remember to start 1/4 strength and slowly build up. Since you will be starting nutes after the seedling is more advanced I would use a 1/4 strength veg solution. What nutes are you using?
 
Oh I already started Nutes! Infact there is a post previously about it.

0.5ml gro + 1ml micro + 0.5ml bloom saw from a General Hydroponics Nutes calculator." End QUOTE
 
Ok so I did some research and General Hydroponics says that 400-600ppm is good for the second week so the plant was duly fed
1.3ml gro
1.0ml micro
0.5ml bloom

10 minutes later, check ph now.....

PH 5.0
PPM 290
