Nice to finally have it under control. Thanks to everyone who helped get our feet wet. Ill update with...

    Well I cleaned out the system last night and bought new tubing so the plants are more spread out. Currently running the waterfarm at 950 ppm and 5.7 pH. The plants are now under 1,400 watts of HPS and the flowering cycle began this morning and i'll be running the light cycle at night. I cut down...

    I usually keep the door to the grow room cracked open to keep temps down..Im assuming it would be better for the plants if I kept the door shut and got the temps to stay down but its still pretty cold outside where I live and we still run the heat. Once it warms up Ill have the A/C on in the...

    I also wanted to add the the new growth is 100% green which is good to see. I think we started too strong with the nutes and it burned them a little bit. Thanks for stopping in :)

    So its been a week since the last update and the plants are definitely looking better. They have been in the waterfarm for exactly 2 weeks now. We still feel that the growth is slow but we hope for it to pick up once they get more roots. The roots stile haven't came through the buckets..is that...

    Thanks for the reply. our roots aren't through the buckets yet, how high should we keep the water then? 6-8" off the bottom seems low, should we keep it a bit higher until the roots come through the buckets? When we test the pH should we do so while its running through the buckets or should we...

    We put the plants into the waterfarm a few nights ago and have seen pretty good results. we have the ppm set at around 350 and they seem to take it well. Most of the plants look very healthy, a few though look like they need some help. We have had the plants going with the water level at right...

    So we gave them a flushing solution and flushed out the plants, after 24 hours the leaves have begun to develop new growth which is green. :) maybe they can be saved after all. We bought a ppm meter but it doesn't turn on so we have to exchange it for a new one. when we get that we will add...

    Its called Liquid Seaweed by maxicrop...it says the total nitrogen is 0.1% and that it is derived from Ascophyllum whatever that means..I stopped using it so I hope that was part of the problem.. I also bought some stuff to flush the plants so ill see how they look later tonight (ill post pics...

    Beginner Hydro grower, help needed

    Haven't tested the run-off Ph but the only thing we've given them is the liquid seaweed stuff that the lady at the hydro store said was safe to give them at any step because it didn't have nutes and was just a growth hormone. We only used that once for watering and havent used it after that. do...
