hydroton

:stoned: Haha. Yes I rinsed it. It soaked in ph.6 water around 12hrs and then I ran like 40 liters of new adjusted water through it.

[basementbotany]

hmmm. dunno why your ph is going all crazy then

[JohnnyRico]

Yes, its a bit of a mystery. Im checking it now like 4 times a day that the ph-level wont raise too high and also I can keep an eye on if its starting to settle.

Thanks man! I spent pretty much time planning the system before the grow.

Plants are now 9 days old and lookin ok. Ph rises about 0.3 in 24hrs so its not a problem anymore. I went first 4days with plain adjusted water. Next three days I gave them 1ml/l of GHE total gro and now last 2 days I have given them 2ml/l of GHE total gro. The recommendation in the total gro bottle is 2.5ml/l for young plants. And then 5ml/l for veg after roots have grown.

Those suckers are growing like weed! I spiced up the nutrient solution a bit and also added some mg.

[JohnnyRico]

...and going strong. Im changing the light cycle now from 24 to 18/6. I got some curling on some leaves, maybe mg shortage. Nothing too alarming though. I had a question but I forgot it. :stoned: I'll be back when I remember what it was.

Should I try to remove the rockwool cubes? They are continuously wet, will they rotten the stem??? The seed leaves are about 2-3cm above the rockwool cube.

It's really fun to follow the growth process by taking pics and comparing them. It's amazing to see how much they grow only in few days.
