Well i am back after a long vacation. I have started an Aerogarden pro 200 grow with only 2 lights because the 3rd light broke. I am about 21 days in not including a 5 day germination period.
I germinated the 4 seeds in seperate paper towels. I took 2 paper towels for each seed connected the long way which i would put the seed in the middle of 1 of the paper towels and fold the other over on top of the seed. Then i wrapped aluminum foil around the paper towel so the water would stay and not leak out. I cut the aluminum foil 1 inch longer than the paper towel on each side so i could fold a lip over on the sides. Then every night i would open the aluminum foil and spray each seed until completely saturated with water. I did not lose 1 seed and all of them had a tap root within a day or 2. After 4-5 days when the tap roots were about 3 inches long i transplanted them into the Aerogarden sponges.
I have used store bought spring water since day 1 of germination. I have been having some problems and wanted to post some pics but my camera stinks at close ups. I started by putting 2 tomato nutrient pills into my rez about a week ago and started seeing red rust colored dots on my white widow and violator kush leaves. I ended up doing a rez flush about 2-3 days ago. Then for some reason i pulled a newb move and forgot to check the pH for 2 days. SO i checked it yesterday and of course its at 7+. SO i put some pH downer and rechecked the pH. Its now at 6 and i still havent put any nutes in the rez yet. The red dots are still there on the bottom leaves and the leaves are turning yellow. What i dont understand is that the other 2 plants i have in there dont show any signs like the others.
If any1 knows anything else i should do it would be completely appreciated. I keep learning more and more from each grow i do. Ill be posting pics soon.
