12/12 From Seed for Seed - My First DWC Grow - 600w HPS - WW

This is the first post in this journal but the plants have already been going for 28 days. The point of this grow is mainly to quickly breed some of these babies and get some seeds to do a regular grow with next time around. Also its my first time breeding and my first time with DWC. I started with 9 seedlings. So far 2 went hermie, there is 1 male, and the other 6 are forming flowers as I type this. Strain is either white widow or wonder woman, the bug just says WW. My ex bought these and left them when she moved out so I'm not sure where she ordered them from. Strain: "WW", could be white widow or wonder woman (anyone think they can ID it?) Light: 600w HPS, currently running at 65%. Air Temp Day/Night: 72/68 PPM: 900-1000 PH: 6.0 Room: Growing in an open room cooled by a portable air conditioner. The heat from the light is pulled out with a 6in inline fan. Nutes: Using Advanced Nutrients 3 part system, Orca root zone stuff, and they got dosed once with Big Up Powder. My water comes from an under sink RO system that I will occasionally use to fill my reservoir overnight. I have not been changing the nutrient solution at all. The main reason is that I don't have an effective way to drain the tubs and I cant afford to buy another set of them and foil tape at the moment. I also can't afford to dump the nutes that are still in there. I still have enough in the reservoir to keep them fed until I can afford to change it out, but for now it has to stay. I haven't seen any major problems yet from it luckily. The roots are going crazy and look healthy to me. There is a slight problem with tips of some of the upper leaves curling down a little at the end. That problem has existed since the beginning and I'm not sure what to make of it. I germed 9 seeds and they all popped, but these seeds started out really weak or something. There may have been something contaminating the rockwool cubes in the beginning because they didn't look very healthy when they first popped up. I ended up flushing out the cubes with clean ph balanced water and then with a weak nutrient solution. Within a few days they bounced right up and started taking off, well most of them. There were a couple that started to look really deformed. I separated the weak ones into a separate tub. last week 2 of those started to show hairs and then suddenly grew nuts, they got chopped. One is a strong male and will be the pollen donor for my other 6 ladies. So for my pots I'm using 3x 10 gallon storage containers wrapped with foil tape each with three 5in net pots. Each one has different air stones in them, I'm testing to see which ones work the best. One has a set of the long rectangular ones and the other two are two different kinds of disks. The O2 disks I got from the hydro store actually seem to be the best ones. That's pretty much the gist of it. Not a lot to look at now, but if anyone wants some different pictures I'll be happy to take some more. These have been on a 12/12 light cycle for the last 28 days, pretty much from the day they popped up. http://imgur.com/6PQSSg2 http://imgur.com/a/FUnZu The last picture is my little male being dwarved by his two BIG sisters.
