Hey lordsoth...cool that you are joinin'...wonder where Torog's been...anyway, I usually run my temps about 72-75 F (22-24 C I think :rolleyes: )in my bucket too so I think you were good on lowering em a bit...I try to make sure they never get below 70. It's a wonder what some research can do!! I love these boards!! Anyway, get some pics up soon if you can, in the meantime I am gonna do the same!!

Are you running one dual outlet pump in the 10 gal, or do you have two?? Just curious...what kind of stones are you using?? Round?? I am using 5 gallon Home Depot buckets and they are wrapped in water heater insulation (which is silver and reflective) and I manage to keep them (on the cold floor) in the low 70's by doing this...that insulation rocks!!! Anyway, good luck and hope to hear from ya soon!!

PEACE!

Howdy !

Here I be ! ...lol

I'm looking forward to both you and LS666,posting pics,I'm very interested in your 5 gallon set-up and LS666's 10 gallon set-up. I would be happy to just grow a few,good yielding plants,my space and budget is limited..I'm not sure if I can do the 50 gallon set-up that Student has in mind,unless I do it at a friend's house.

Anyhow....Have a good one...Torog :D

I use one dual outlet pump per 10 gal container, 2 air stones per container.
As you can see I was baked when I germinated the seeds 'cause I planted two seeds in the same rockwool cube (pic 4) :( what should I do about that? :confused: and in pic 5 I seem to be having some trouble with the leaves, any suggestions are appreciated. and way all plants are 11 days old.

also I have a clone rooting now to fill the empty pot.

Howdy LS666,

Well..thanx for the pics-it helps to better understand how the set-up functions. I don't know much about hydro,so I'm not sure what's causing your plant problems..I just know that you need to figure it out-before it starts happening to the rest of your plants,hopefully,someone with better knowledge than I,will let us both know what's going on.

I ain't never used any rockwool cubes..so I don't know if it's possible to seperate the two plants that you got growing in the same cube.

Wish that I could of helped ya more.

Have a good one...Torog

Hey there LS....What are your PPM levels?? I am by no means a pro but it looks kinda like an overfert prob on pic 5. Also, about planting the two plants in the one rockwool cube...I would try (somehow) to seperate them...rockwool is nice cause you can split it apart easily. I have pulled it apart to see if my clones were rooting....anyway, can you try to pull them apart and hope to save one of the two??? obviously both if you can help it...You are sure to encounter some problems (massive roots and the like) if you don't axe at least one try and pull the roots apart and replant the other guy...I have planted straight into grow rocks (took a rooted clone and pulled the rockwool away, and then put in a net pot with rocks around the roots ( have to have a stealth hand, but it will work!!). Anyway, thanks for posting pics...I am going to get mine up this week for sure....

Let me know your PPM....

Here is a pic of my setup...to high of resolution on the others I took, so this will have to do for now....A little higher up in the pic there is a shelf with a humidity dome and a flouro tube where I have 6 clones from the big plant (NL 5x Blueberry). In the 5 gal I have one dual outlet pump with a three prong valve connecting to an airstone, and in the 10 gal rubbermaid with the three Willy Jack seedlings I have another dual outlet with two airstones. Does that make sense?? Anyway, 5 gal is going into flower on Friday. She has alternating nodes and is mostly indica. Very bushy...we are also LST-ing her as I have found this a better method than topping, FIMming etc...So, there it is...I will try and get some more pics up soon too!

I do not own a tool for measuring the PPM, but I am getting one SOON. I do think it is an overfert problem, I need to dilute it to 1/4 strenght

it was a case of nutrient burn :( but I cut the solution in half 2 days ago (full was 700 ppm) so I figure I have about 300-350ppm, the girls look much better already. I also added some epsom salts, 3/4 tsp per gallon, thanks for the advice. :D


btw... there is no way to safely separate those two plants :( could I grow them together, or cut one off???

willybblue, is that a Compact Floro hydrofarm light?

Hey again LS....about your two plants growing in one pot...I would try and just cut one off and hope the roots don't kill the other roots...I don't know what else you should do...I would try my hardest not to have both growing in the same pot...I can see that being a big problem later on when the roots are growing vigorously....

About the light...it is a Hydrofarm, but not a compact flouro...it's a 250 MH and in my flower room there is a 250 HF HPS... The 250 works the best for the size grow we have going...

Anyway, glad to hear things are going a bit better for you...Hey, I have a question now...How long should I let her recover before putting into flower after taking two clones today?? A couple of my clones didn't do so hot, so I wanted to take a few more...What do you think???

WBB....
