So, When I woke up this morning a few of the plants were showing signs of over-watering. I cut the watering cycle to twice a day (10am & 6pm). Calmag was added this morning also. Hopefully this will devoid myself of issues surrounding the lack of magnesium and calcium in distilled water.

Any help with strain questions would be greatly appreciated.

I have not tried citral. Interested to see what you think ?

For strains with high THC medical. I would go with papaya or Hawiian x skunk from nirvana. Those are white strains. Northern lights is good. I just tried some purple power , purple kush and white widow. They had a good crop of widow the first time but was not impressed this time. The purples were good.

I for sure will give you the 411 when I am through with the grow...From what I have heard this is a fun plant to grow...Although, it is proving to be a very difficult and tempermental seedling.

I am considering GDP, Grand daddy Purple...It looks interesting...can only get from clone...

So I have taken some recommendations to heart. First, I lowered the lights to almost directly above the plants, about 4 inches above. Also, I dropped the watering cycle to once per day until the plants get bigger and obtain more root growth. :thumbsup:

I am already seeing results from this. The plants are doing well for their first week of life. I have yet to lose a seedling, and that is promising. All of the plants are showing top leaves now and I am excited to hopefully be able to sex and keep all of the plants. Only the next 2 weeks will tell for sure.

I wanted to give a big thank you to all the contributors to this log. You are not only making a differene in my log, but this potentially helps out people wanting to gain knowledge before they wander into the world of hydroponics.

Thanks again everyone...And let me know what strains I should grow next. I am interested in some suggestions. Anything with high THC levels is game for me! height is not an issue! :jointsmile:

So today, I checked the ph level, and I was at a perfect 5.8....couldn't ask for better from my distilled water and calmag mixture.

I had to raise the lights a bit, some of the plants were almost near the lights. The girls are showing very strong secondary leaves and i am noticing the massive root growth I am getting from the plants since I cut the watering schedule back to once a day in the morning.

I am still a but concerned about the plants as the leaves are getting much bigger. What do you guys do to keep the plants from falling over when this happens? I am trying to jery rig some things to keep them up....I am sure you can see this in my pictures...it seems to be working, but, I am still concerned about their long term growth in the initial veg state. Is there anything else I can do besides propping them up and lowering the lights?

Thanks!

Just keep doing what your doing. They will start to hold up by themselves, the stem will thicken up. The leaves are like muscles, the more you have the stronger the plant.

and I will give you an A+ for how your rig looks!!! very nice and neat, organized and CLEAN!!! outstanding from what I see so far :jointsmile:

[martyrprojekt]

Thanks for the compliment. I try to keep my room, and workspace, super neat. I am anal about that kind of stuff. I can wait to expand to the rest of the room. That will be even more fun! :thumbsup:

Plants are looking super healthy today. I will post some pictures later. They seem to be getting stronger by the day. Lets hope that all 16 are strong...and female !

So I am having some issues with a couple plants. I am seeing discoloration spots on some of the plants...Some lighter and some darker. I posted pictures for you to see.

Also, one of the plants is showing signs of nute burn? The funny thing is that I am not using nutes right now. Maybe it is light burn from my T5 light?

I am using cal mag...should I be using more? Are these signs of lack or calcium and magnesium?

picture #1 and #2 are showing a plant that is discoloring...I have one other plants that is showing lighter coloring. I did not post a picture of this.

picture #3 is showing a plant that has leaf tips that are dead...and it is also showing discoloration.

Let me know what you all think!
