Help_Needed's Fast and Simple - aka the Oh-My-God-I'm-out-of-weed grow
Well, the two sick clones popped back up yesterday, so that's a relief. And the ones still in the cloner that I thought I cooked are doing just fine too. Hopefully I'll have the last two moved into the tank by this weekend and then I can think about switching to 12/12 on Monday or Tuesday.
Res temps dropped to 77 during lights out, but then climbed back up to 84 when the lights came on. That's a bit too high for a DWC, but then again I've got a boatload of air flowing through the reservoir and the plants are all directly above the two air disks I have in there. So I'm not too worried yet. I added some mylar over the top of the reservoir to block out most of the light and help with the temps.
The pH is refusing to move much either, for some reason. It was down to 6.2 this morning, so I added yet another dose of pH Down. The bottle I have is a year old now, so I'm starting to wonder, does pH Down go bad?
Last, but not least, there was some discussion yesterday about how low I've got the two trouble clones in the pots and whether they were getting enough air flow. I had originally planned to add a desktop type of fan into the tent, blowing down onto the plants, but after stopping at three different stores, I couldn't find one. Found a shitload of space heaters though. Guess it's just the wrong season to be shopping for fans
. In any event, I had a stray thought that I was able to confirm when I got home....Think about it. Those aren't regular pots, they're NET pots. Which means they're open to air on the sides. The way I've got them planted right now, the hydrotron doesn't fill the pot all the way, and they're situated right over the air stones. So there's plenty of air movement in there, it's just that the air's not coming from where we expect it to.
Today's Key Numbers:
TDS - 570ppm @ 0.7
pH - 6.2
Res Temps - 84F
Ambient Temps - 85F @ lights on, 76F @ lights off
