cleaned out the entire res with soap water, tied down a few branches, added two more fans and increased nutes to full strength, according to my :leaf: recipe. Also put in a frozen bottled water, heres the specs:

TEMPERATUREs

AiR - 74 F
WaTeR - 59 F
HuMiditY - 50%
ppm - 1430
pH - 6.0

i also covered the lid and reservoir in reflective duct tape, hoping it may keep the temps down a bit, but i dont think its doing much...

this is the first day of the 3rd week flowering and pistils are all over my baby girl :):):)

OH YEAH, i also combed out ALOT of roots in an attempt to get rid of most of the darker brown roots (root rot). however it was a huge mass ball and im sorry to say a lot of good roots came out as well.... hopefully it doesnt harm my hot girl too much

i think the flower stretching phase has ended, doesnt this happen around day 20, normally?

heres a few pics, i tied down a few branches and moved one of the 65watt CFL's to the other corner of the box, and moved the fans to blow on the reservoir, hopefully will keep it colder. the reservoir temp had climbed to 77 overnight, how is this possible with no lights on and still 3 fans blowing? hopefully by moving the fans this wont happen again next morning:cuss:

UPDATE,

due to constant heat problems with the res, i decided to remove the CFL's.

ALSO, i added 1 ml of Planticillin(1-0-0) stirred in a tall glass of pH'd water. Then i poured in two more cups of water. Im gonna cleanout and change the reservoir Friday or Saturday. Hopefully the planticillin will give my hot lil virgin a bit of a boost....updates to come later...with PICTURES

Hey man, it's all good. One thing though... Post the DATES of the pics, that's always good so that experts can gauge your progress and newbies like me can learn a thing or two.

THANKS AGAIN... rep.

i think only one of the sprouts is gonna survive, the leaves on the clone and the other sprouts are drying up :(

res water is about 55-60F and air is about 72F, is this way too cold for sprouts/clones??

hey green earth, thanks for the video bro! im gonna put a dome over it now, hopefully thatll help...if it isnt too late

if there is still green on it but the leaves arent soft, they are kinda crispy but not necessarily brown, does that mean its still alive? or is it already dead and just sitting there? ill take pics later tonight...

in the meantime, heres more pics of my hot girl's colas :joint::bigjoint:

how many days were your plants in the flowering stage before you could determine there sex? how about how many days untill you could see some bud developing?
