Hello,
Iâ??m starting this grow log so I can benefit from the experience of others. I purchased 6 rooted clones at my local cannabis dispensary: 3 clones of Grand Daddy Purple (GDP) and 3 clones on the hybrid Blue Dream. I chose to grow the three GDPâ??s in 5 gallon buckets, one clone per bucket. I chose to grow 1 blue dream in a 5 gallon bucket, and the remaining two I placed in one bucket. I want to see if there are any differences in growth so I thought Iâ??d experiment a bit.
I goofed the first day and did not record any of the PPMâ??s or pHâ??s,but hereâ??s what I did: I filled each 5 gallon bucket with reverse osmosis water. I added half the recommended cal/mag and a little over ¼ the recommended FoxFarm hydro nutes. I wanted to start my babies off easy. I adjusted the pH and let a day pass.
Today, day 2, my water pH ranged from 6.0 to 7.0, so I added GH pHDown and now they are all hovering at anywhere from 5.8 â?? 6.2. The PPMâ??s are all at around 410 â?? 450 average. FoxFarm recommends they be at 700 â?? 1200, but Iâ??ll add stronger nutes next Saturday during my water exchange. As mentioned, I didnâ??t want to over feed them.
I did notice some buildup around my netpots this morning. Here are some pics:

What is that stuff? Is it normal?

Here are some pics of my babies, 2nd day in my grow (The clones themselves are rooted, so they look about 4 weeks old):

This was them, yesterday: http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMG_3801.jpg

A few questions:
1. Should I be spraying the foilage or leaves with anything?
2. The Hydroton on top is dry now, but I know the water is rising enough to soak the bottom hydrotons and the bottom of the rockwool/roots. Is this a good water level, or should I raise it so that the top hydrtons are wet as well?

II have enough space to fit two, 5 gallon buckets side by side, and I have a room length of about 9 feet. Iâ??m only using 5 feet at the moment, if that. I have a 175 power intake, and a cool tube light (400 watt HPS). Iâ??m getting a carbon scrubber in a week. So thatâ??s basically it. â??ll update this thread daily, and again, Iâ??d appreciate any experienced growers opinions and advice. This is a closet medical grow so budgetary concerns are an issue.
