Little Carmalicious and Random Plants

I just checked the roots on C, who had the worst roots of all when i repotted them in fresh coco. It now had roots reaching to the bottom, and they looked healthy But when changing the res the water had brown color and the pump felt a bit slimy :wtf:

I wouldn't be too concerned about that, just be sure to change your solution every week or two.

Thanks alot, thats some really usefull info The lady in the store that sold this to us said that it needs to be constantly wet since the coco itself has no nuts in them and as soon as the pot dries out the plants start wilting/dying. So putting the plants on a timer and feed them once a day with the hydro will give better results? (still in veg right now but every 3 days just sounds so drastic since coco gets try pretty quickly)
Btw i'll post some pics soon, they are starting to look really handsome

You don't want it to be constantly saturated - the roots need oxygen, that is why DWC systems, where the roots are always submerged in the solution, have constant aeration - to keep plenty of oxygen in the solution - but if that air pump dies, those poor plants are gonna be real unhappy real fast. Ebb & Flow systems flood the medium and then drain all of the water out again causing fresh air to be sucked down as the water level falls.

Hydroponics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia <-- here's a good read.

2 new pictures of B taken on 29okt and today, though on the today picture it looks sad since we we're moving them to the new grow room

we put a timer on so they get watered 3 times a day, they seem to like that better thanks for the tip Kowalski!

we're using a 3 part GHE nutrient Flora Series. We took some clones earlier this week, starting flowering tomorrow. Gonna turn of the light at 06:00 and turn it back on sunday at 12:00 (read something about having a very long dark time up to 36 hours the first day is good for flowering) and then we'll be having from 12 to 12 light cycle. Here are some pics of the clones and a little teaser :P

dude looking exactly like my caramelicious! I started flowering them about that time too and mine is a fucking monster now, like literally taking up way more than the one square foot I tried to designate it for! I am at week 5 of flowering and I am at about 34 inches tall and HUGE fan leaves, like 7inch long fingers...you are in for a fun grow :rastabanna:

oh my... i got 8 of them in a hydro that is meant for 4.... i hope the males show themselves quickly or it's gonna get really cramped in there :P

for sure m8, unfortunately I hate to inform you but these caramelicious like to be dudes...I dont know why. The mixed seeds did average but I got two females and a hermie out of 6 caramelicious seeds, and a lot of the other people I have seen grow these are having pretty shitty female rates...I dont mean to scare you at all, just giving telling you what I have seen. On the positive side my caramelicious plant is very very strong and deisease resistant compared to my other babes. And even if you do only get a couple females you can grow them into beasties! :greenthumb:
