    Bubbleponics growing slow NOOB

    So its been awhile and things are great....but have a question.. I'm on day 37 since putting the seedlings in, and I had a rough start with them early on. They are very short and bushy, and very full. I FIM about 10 days ago and they REALLY filled in. I'm trying to LST them a little to take...

    ok thanks for the info! Day 28 - Here are some updates: (in order) SDiesel is really taking off. Just about ready to top it. KandyKush (freebie) and PnapplExprss(old) are coming back nicely, but are short and stubby. Nutes, have been increasing slowly - 400-425 ppm - RO, Hydroguard, GH duo...

    hmm.... prob have to add a small heater until seasons change to keep that warm. I have a chiller built into the res and I do not have it on all the time right now, keeping 68-69, 70.2 most when room was 78. Sounds like it would be close, but I do have an aquarium chiller that I can break out if...

    Yes, that is just the angle, although I did move the probe up a little just to be safe.

    Not sure what's happening now. Roots are looking good.... The big one looked great a couple hours ago, but now not so good. The other 2 are looking pretty sad. I have more beans getting ready. Water temp 70 at most (68-69 avg). Tent 72-78. 45-60% humidity ppm 324 using FloraDuo, Calmg and...

    Thanks rky! Looks good so far. The largest dropped 2-3 roots into the water and one of the small ones will prob by EOD. The other is doing better as well, just a little slower after a bad start. Is there any particular order when adding fresh fill? flora duo, calmg and hydroguard + RO

    Howdy, newbie here having some issues early. Here's a play by play of what I've done: After germinating the seeds I put them in plugs and put into system. It's a 13 gallons res for 3 plants in a 2x2x6 feet tent. Water top fed 4 times daily and LED 600w 18/6. Temperature steady at around 75-79F...

    Sorry Marules/rkymtnman, that is me with the auto PH. I'll start my own thread to eliminate the confusion. I jumped in as the issue and setups are very similar.

    Thanks Doc. So did all that and added some Hydroguard and looks to be doing ok right now, however, my PH and PPM keeps climbing. I have an auto PH setup. Will that jumping up and down have an effect on the plants? Starts 5.75 and climbs slowly to 6.05, then system brings it back down to 5.75...

    My bad... no, water started low PPM and have increased since I added the seedlings/plugs. But not adding any nutes. And I've only added a little h202, about 1 cup of 3% in about 6 gllns of water in res Roots are just coming out of the netpots and very tips are brown. Sorry not a good pic
