Thanks again for all your help! I was like most newbies, and you think that little changes are really a no brainer, and then you blow $200 in seeds learning the hard way. I will put in an order for the root treatment stuff, and I am getting 2 airstones to add to my res. And a drainage system to ease the changing of my res water. And I know I made a huge mistake when I closed the door in my closet at night with a total of 4 65 watt cfls. When I opened the door in the morning it was around 90 degrees in there and I guess that is root rot heaven! I have changed my lights back to 18/6 to keep nighttime temps down. I am getting a Homebox delivered on Tuesday (3.5ftx3.5ft.5.3ft) and a clonong setup. I will probably set up tent as a veg growth area with a carbon filter/fan, attached to a thermometer that turns on when the tent hits a certain temp. And I will keep a mother plant for clones and clones in veg stage in there. I will use the 8 plant res(18 gal) for flowering and have another carbon fan/filter in my closet. For lights, I will be getting 3 100 watt veg cfls, 3 100 bloom cfls, with reflectors delivered tomorrow as well as 2 105 watt multispectrum lights that emit 7,000 lumens and reflectors for those too! Heat is an issue as I live in an apartment building(luckily I am around most of the time), that is why I have decided on cfls for now. In another closet I have 8 Lowlife AK 47s x Hindu Kush and they are doing well, seedlings are about 9 days old. I read that they only needed bloom lights, but I used those the first 6 days and had little root growth, changed to 2 65 watts of veg grow cfls and 1 65 watt bloom and and now the roots are growing rapidly. I know that it is important to keep both spectrums of light on my babies, and I will crank up the wattage with my new lights arriving (especially on my bloom phase!). I have read many threads by you guys and I will keep you informed how things get going! Thanks again Hudson, Weedhound and Opie!!
EyelykPot1 Reviewed by EyelykPot1 on . I need your wisdom! Good morning everybody...I have a serious problem that has killed several of my female seedlings. My hydro setup causing issues was an 18 gallon res DWC bubbler system. No nutes, ph at 5.8. My seedlings developed a mucousy substance on the bottom of the net pots and roots. All growth stopped. I wiped it off on two consecutive mornings, and decided to transplant the 8 seedlings into new net pots. The water in the res had no smell or anything strange, so I left it alone.
