AK-47 in E&F - rockwool/clay medium (First Grow Log)
So, I went and bought some white/black stuff like you said and 9 hours (yes 9) later I've finished re-doing the tent. I will say one thing though that the closet where I was doing my seedlings in had water damage on the plywood shelf up top that I had my smaller light attached to for seedlings so I replaced that and got that all set up again, and tore down the other tent entirely (it was ment to be a clone mother tent but thats going to be farther down the road for me I'm afraid and when I get my hands on some good seeds I'll re-builed it again). I also had built the tent wrong because as I said earlier the directions had no words just some illegable pictures on them so I went about fixing the tent so my lights are now in line with my E&F instead of perpendicular and I put those low hanging poles up top and made a ghetto sling for my exhaust fan with some duct tape. Speaking of, duct tape, its not going to create some kind of offgas situation or something is it? Also one big thing I also noticed...after getting those tents out of the house, the lack of smell in that room is almost overwhelming (plastic/sourish smell). I was actually astonished because I guess I've become used to the smell, so I really thing all this hard work really paid off even if it might not be the tents causing my issues. Well, I'm freaking beat so I'm going to hit the sack (started working in there at 5pm when lights kicked on and now its 2:30am my time). Lastly, after hand watering the plants they immediatly started moving with leaves turning and such and then later this evening they had perked up noticably so I'm starting to think its underwatering and I'll tell you why I think it is, including the results after handwater of course...Previously, on X-Men, I was watering them 4 times a day for 30 minute at a time and it NEVER showed signs of over-watering...it always looked like nute burn that started on the bottom leaves and worked its way up. Now, since these plants have been in my E&F for what 3 weeks now I've been watering them 4 times a day for 10 minutes at a time but really they are maybe getting <5 minutes of water because it take about 5 minutes to fully flood my flood table. This is my hypothesis after seeing the plants reaction to being watered today. Lastly, doods at the grow store said I should be using more Ionic than I am right now as well and I think you may have already mentioned that yourself but I have kicked it up to 1/4 strength with the hand watering and the grow store guys were telling me thats still too little. Well guys, tell me what you think about all this wall of text, and here are the pics...
