thanks whisky,
yeah, been a manic schedule.
this is a hydro growlog (if i can swing it) and those are soil and will definately get their own log. but, with the adjustments made, i figured id throw a few pics out there.
one of the writeups i found online about the ASH had a few interesting notations.
The Strawberry Haze's buds have the aroma of an almost candy-like strawberry, and her smoke is sweet-tasting with an upbeat high.
Strawberry Haze performs best and delivers the utmost in strawberry flavor when grown in soil. Hydro systems can be used to increase the yield, but the taste is less sweet.
this last note is the main reason im going soil on this one without any hesitation.
tried 2 beans, got 2 fem sprouts, :woohoo:
and now, ive got the verticle room these may need, available.:pimp:
log coming soon.:cool:
sweet!....good to see your still goin at the hydro thing....better man than me, lol...i will be a very hard switch from being dirty, then again i said i would never waste seeds trying LED..hmmm..I'll be hanging around to see how ya do on dro...and DEFINITELY waiting for that ASH log...chop chop!!!....j/k

What's going on over there Rock?
update
slow moving, maybe, but, right now, it is what it is.
a few days ago i added a trace of grow nutes to help stabilize the ph. i think it helped.
today just nudged the ph down a lil and added about 1/2 gal water n some grow nutes, less than half strength, to both. Will prolly change the water in a couple days as a maintenance precaution., every week or 2, right?
i did notice a lil frosty kinda lookin residue on some of the rocks lower in the clone basket. didnt get pics, im thinkin might be some of the perlite dustin and movin with the moisture, or maybe some of those salt buildups i read about here n there.
either way, ill just keep an eye on it for now.
while checkin under the baskets....
look at the center of the clone basket, yep, thats a lil root, approx 3-4 inches growth would b needed to poke out the bottom, so, i guess its doin ok.:D
i did bump the watering schedule up last week to 2.5 hrs on, 1.5 hrs off, on constant rotation.
seeing todays growth, decided to bump the watering a lil more, now 3 on, 1 off, on constant rotation.
lighting is still 18-6
this far, i think i woulda been better prepared to deal with the monitoring/maintenance aspect of hydro better months ago when i had a more flexible schedule. i'm gonna try to make this work, but given my actual freetime, i think soil grows may be better suited to my current personal availability, but i'll try.;)
I have to agree that circumstances were quite different when you started until now. That all from ph struggle? I hate that hydroton I swear.
Well let me know what you decide.......I'm good with whatever way you end up going with it. ;)
ok, made lil improvement on splash shields.
tested ph today after adding about 1/3 dose of nutes yesterday.
ph is tween 5 and 6
figured id check out this new toy the TDS pen.
my PPM was 320 in the SNL sprout and 325 in the BR clone.
so, what do these numbers mean to me?
drip is on 3hr, off 1 hr on rotation.
looks like they may be perkin up a lil, no?
WH, suggestions?
Quite honestly I think they both look good.....that clone is going crazy and your seedling has caught up to my two size-wise it seems. :thumbsup: I highly recommend a full on water change to new nutes.
Part of your ppm is whatever is in your tap water. What I'd like you to do.....when you have time is take some tap water and add 100 ppm of Flora Grow to your tap water and then change your resevoirs out to this. Keep ph the same as always. (It won't take much so add slowly....) You'll see them start to grow faster as you increase nutes......they can go to 24hr drip too.....they're plenty big enough. ;)
