Nutrient Help

[BlazedMind]

How do you think things are looking so far? Day 14 as of today from seed.

Im only a little concerned that the stems streched a lil bit when I first started them under a 45w t5 bulb(bad advice on height from hydro store).

They seem pretty healthy as far as I can tell. I can already tell im going to be hooked on this type thing for a while. Cant wait to contribute knowledge to others in the future.

Also if you can see from the pictures the roots are starting to come out the bottom of the net pots. The roots under the pots seem fine but I think the ones growing outward into the tray are getting fried by the light. Is this normal and if not how can I prevent that?

BlazedMind Reviewed by BlazedMind on 04-15-2007. Nutrient Help Hello, I need a little assistance in setting up my nutrients in my new flood and drain. Im using Botanicare Pure Blend Pro Grow and the Bloom(soil formula cause its better im told). I have a 20 gallon reservoir. How many gallons of water should I add to the reservoir to feed 6 to 8 plants? The seeds are in day 4 in jiffy pellets at the moment but will be going to 5.5in net pots with hydroton rocks as the medium. My flood tray is 2 x 2 x 5in deep. I will be adding nutrients based Rating: 5

Your plants look pretty good thus far. Follow my thread for some ideas to think about. Our last grow was almost identical to yours and we learned a lot of things from this forum about what we were doing wrong. http://boards.cannabis.com/hydroponi...ink-setup.html

One thing I can tell you right now is that you need to figure out how to cover the light from getting to the roots that are coming out of the baskets! Sounds like you are right at the point of when you want to start thinking about that anyways.

Yeah your right about blocking the light. I have been debating on what I should use. Check my other thread for updated pictures. They seem to be growing pretty good from what I can tell.
