My plants seemed to love the drop in ph so I dropped the to 5.2 to check if I can notice a difference there...after the day of having my ph at 5.4 was when I noticed the drop in ppm so I'm figuring that they were sucking up more nutes...I'm keeping a close eye checking the ph every couple hours and bringing my phone down for soft lighting to check the leaves...so far everything looks fine...I guess it could be several things causing the drop but since I start out I guess I'm only really at 1300 nutes and I figure a few more experiments on these starter girls won't be the end of the world

the formula is how I calculate what ph to make the new solution I'm adding to end up with the ph I want...1 gallons at 5ph and 1 gallon at 6 would result in a ph of 5.5 and you can weight them accordingly like if you have 2 gallons at 5 and 1 at 6 you would do 2x5 + 1x6 and then divide 16/3 which gives 5.33333 so the ph of the solution I'm gonna add is the variable and I solve for that...don't know if it works the same so I'm just gonna do safe trials for now...if I ever find out anything useful I'll be sure to let ya know hehe

The air stones were for a fish tank...I figured I'd just pump the O2 into the water and let the water pump that's always on spray the roots...Do ya know what's better putting air lines in through the hydroton to the root chamber or just pumping O2 into the res solution? I could do either...if I was gonna pump the air in to the root chamber I'd just take back the air stones just go with the tubing...I got the two 5" stones cause I figured I could put them real close to the pump intake and hopefully get a more even mix of O2 and water...Unfortunately yet again I'm clueless on the experience end

Ok well I got 3 close-ups....the first 2 are Zola's top main bud sites (the camera made that visible it's still pretty small to the eye) and the last one is the clone of Eve the middle is all new growth and even though the leaves drop a bit when it's not in the humidity dome I'm gonna plant it tomorrow...Lemme know what ya think:smokin:
