Hi all,
If this isn't the right forum let me know and I'll move it.
My kids were a bit mistreated in the beginning as family issues developed and I was gone for over three weeks. They were almost ready to remove from the cloning station ( http://boards.cannabis.com/basic-growing/168393-100-germination-every-time-easy.html ) when I was forced to help family in an emergency. I was only able to return to them just once a week during that time. Ah well, sometimes life sucks.
Anyway, Saturday (yesterday) I flushed the system with straight water as I think the kids went into lockout.
I am feeding lightly so I don't kill this batch like the last one.
The kids went under the big light nearly 3 weeks ago.
Please let me know if I am on the right track or if my train has taken a dirt road.
Thanks in advance and let me know if you need more info. I'll get it if I can.
