[hotchi]

ok, i have two plants,bag seed, they both started out hydro. now only the big one is hydro.
little one doing great except, its little.
the big one is showing signs of over nuteing. so i flushed and let it sit in just water for like 5 or 7 days.
basicly all its fan leaves, exept new ones are dead
so whats up???

well i dont grow hydro... but i dont think your supposed to let the roots sit in the water... they need to be on a fill/drain cycle. If you let your plants sit in water for 7 days then you basically drowned them.

ok. the soil is like 50/50 verm/perlite
i will let it dry out some and see what happens

WTF? One minute you say hydro, the next you say soil? Do you even know what your growing in?

In hydro you dont let the roots sit in the water all the time, because they'll rot, same with soil.

But what are you growing in?

Are you growing in a pot with soil or in a hydro set up?

[hotchi]

ok, what i am doing, is experimenting with non soil growing, not hydro.
and by soil i meant media

i am going to make a good hydro setup, or just grow soil from now on.


i think i will just use it for clones if it keeps goin down hill.
i think its to far into the grow to go into a soil pot.

[iwantFUEGO]

non soilgrowing eh? what are you using as a medium?

[hotchi]

vermiculite and pearlite mix.

not nutrients in it.
unless u get the "supercharged" perlite. it is like .5-.7-.7
or sumthin


ps.

i am having a great day!!! lol.
i dont know why. i just am, the plants are lookin like they are goin in the right direction. and i took a few clones today.

also, my test plant, that i used in my bubble cloner has root tips!!!!
and thats after sitting, dry, for like a week.
before i realised that my air pump i had was shit.
i went to wallmart and bought the best one i saw.
