I have to disagree. After they break ground they stall for about a week while they develop a strong root structure. After that, new fans will start developing. That's around the time I consider "week 1"

Well, if you wanted to keep things simple, I'd say you are already climbing uphill. You might want to do a couple soil grows, so you can get the hang of how these plants grow. It's a lot of work in the beginning, especially if also trying to learn/maintain a hydro system. Things move slower...

Have you looked under the leaves for spider mites? Small spots is one of the signs. They're hard to see without a Jeweler's loupe.

I like to bring it up to what the plants can take, up to a tiny bit of burn on the tips of the fans. Then I just add water for around a week. The TDS stays constant for quite a while, with a large water supply. When it has dropped down a couple hundred PPMs, I'll pour a 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup...

Just like CPUs. If you don't have thermal grease filling in all the microscopic ridges and valleys, the surface area doesn't transfer heat as well.

I've been running two hoods for about a month, a total of 1600w. Even with the extra hood and light (being used for supplemental lighting), the water is staying rock solid at 67 degrees. The room hovers around 80.

Even 450 at this time is too high. You should be around 250-300 ppm. You shouldn't be expecting anything to drop off until the later stages of flowering. However, damaged leaves won't repair themselves, so at some point, well after you've gotten on track, and you are trimming in veg, you can...

I'm heavy in flower, with my RDWC, and my TDS is around 530. I usually stay below 600ppm.

It's better to start them in small nursery pots, like 1" x 1", then move up a couple times. No biggie. What you have to do is water right at the stall so the roots can reach the water. In larger containers the center can dry up from the plant taking in water, and not be able to reach...

Yep, much more involved than just watering and letting them grow. I closely observe the fans daily, to make sure there are no mites, or the start of a nutrient/pH issue. I smell the air in the room each day, for sour smelling water, which tells me there's a problem starting with the roots, and...

I don't know. I think the shell is an important part of the seed. I could be wrong. Get yourself some potting soil (not Miracle Grow), make a 3/4" hole with a toothpick, drop it in there and leave it.

Missed that

What is your seed doing in mud! I'd say that your growing medium is most likely having an impact. Seeds are so delicate that handling them isn't a good idea after popping. You can take a toothpick and clear out a little above the seed, so it can have some sense of light. Still, it can take a...

As a noob, you should really be all hands on for your first couple of grows. It's a lot to learn and keep up with when you're first learning how to grow. Not to mention that it also takes a few grows to work out all the bugs, and optimize the system. Even the best grow room plans need some...

I imagine you were a fairly experienced grower by that time, which I could see. Without the experience, just learning can be overwhelming.

Yep, give it light and leave it alone. It can take a few days. Once the first set of fans develop, your plant will seem to stall out, and not grow. Again, leave it alone. Once the first set of fans are developed, and can collect light, it uses all it's energy to build a strong root...

It's a bad idea trying to manage plants remotely, especially with hydro, where at times, plants can grow 3" to 4" in a single day. Managing nutrient and pH levels is a daily thing, not to mention water levels. I'm in heavy flower right now, and my four plants are drinking gallons and gallons...

Maybe more like 16" to 18"

Thanks. They're round 14" apart.

How are your plants doing? These are my White Widow, with about a month or so to go. They really stretched, even though I've got 1600 watts right on top of them. With the way a couple of these grew different from each other, I'd bet the really aggressive one is sativa dominant strain. Mixed...
