My new grow :)

[Weezard]

funny thing is that I didn't precondition at all. I just flushed the hydroton lots with tap water. Then I let it dry out completely and then planted my seedlings in each station. Its funny that you mention that you used tap water to flush your plants. I do that every time with tap water. What I do is I will flush the hydroton of each water farm with a sprayer in my bath tub, then I mix fresh nutes for each station (2 gallons). Then I add ph down to each one. Here with our tap water, I usually use 2 and 1/2 dropper fulls for each station of ph down. Then I check the ph about an hour later to see the true reading. Usually I end up right around 6 which is perfect to me. Been doing it this way for the past 3 grows. Never had an issue. Thanx for your interest! :jointsmile:

Mahalo! That's what I wanted to know.
The almost victim is a rescue and sits in a pot of hydrotron in the yard.
I use rainwater with a little PH down and 2 tsp per gallon of bloom nutes, usually.
Only took one "senior moment", to water right from the hose.
Argh!
She did recover but she's stunted and frowning.

Thanks for your time.
I get enough pieces, I'll finish dis puzzle.

Weezard Reviewed by Weezard on 08-19-2008. My new grow :) Ok so I thought I would start a thread monitoring my new grow. They are still babies with just seedling feed right now but I decided to try out the gh flora series nutes... was using floranova series but I remember getting a better yield off the gh flora series nutes. Anyhow... as time goes on I will be wanting some helpful hints in ways to improve my yield. I am using a 400 watt hps light for this with a 3x3 hydrohut mini 170 cfm fan with an elf carbon filter.
