I skimmed through your thread, and I hate to ask if you have already mentioned it, but what kinda Space/room are you working with? I'm having trouble figuring out my temp issues.

Day 34:

DSC04595.jpgDSC04603.jpgDSC04602.jpgDSC04594.jpgDSC04604.jpg
Afghan Kush - .5EC @ 5.8 (drifts to 5.9/6.0 daily) This browness is from the rock dust(didnt rinse them so I had a lot) This just comes off if you touch the roots and your hand has this brown residue on it, not slimey. Sterile feeling.



Day 28 since cut:
DSC04601.jpgDSC04600.jpgDSC04599.jpgDSC04593.jpgDSC04592.jpg
White Widow Clones - .7EC @ 5.8 (drifted to 7.3 at first, now its getting to about 6.3 daily)

This plant had white roots before being put in bucket, rinsed the stones to avoid dust in the water(still see some on the bottom though, lame, thinking about STG hail)

I didn't have any airstones so I just put the hose in the water and it didn't do nearly as good a job so I got stones the next day and say my white aero-cloned roots all brown.

New white roots are coming out, but i'm thinking I shouldnt of tried to stuff all the roots in one netpot slot.


Day 19 flower:

Chocolope - EC steady at 1.4 @ 5.8. Drifts .2 a day up or down depending on the day.



Day 15 since cut:

Chocolope clones - .7EC @ 5.8

Ugh forgot to turn the pump back on after I took those photos, Forgot to close the tent so the light came on 50 minutes ago and the tent was wide open letting light leak out onto my plants, just indirect light, but light regardless. Ugh second time thats happened, hope I dont get hermies.

Chocolope clones were all drooped over. 11 hours without spray action I don't blame em. This has happened before and they bounced back without roots. This time the roots were kinda sitting in the water since the clones are more established now.

And the day just gets better. I figured out where this white sap appearing randomly on fan leaves is coming from the cord that WAS taped to the wall and was now hanging next to the plant. I guess when I lift the plants lid up to check the roots that pushed the plant into the cord.

Gorilla tape has some bad shit in the adhesive. I tried scanning over the plant and found a few more leaves with that white gunk on it. Looked over the buds and couldn't find any, but im sure it had to of hit a bud or two. Too paranoid for that. But then again who knows what happens to those buds I buy off my dealer. Think I will just not smoke for a bit and put money I would buy weed with into another T5 setup and a bluelab guardian for the table.

Since the white widow is basically fully infected with root rot and the tea isn't helping any it seems like these two plants are a loss. 2.5 months of growing for nothing. Sort of pissed right now. Fortunately I got clones off of them(ones in aero bounced back) and now I have an area to put the flood table and transfer those clones onto.

Learned a valuable lesson and thats never tape wires that could break free and be near plants in flower. Oh and to actually grow smaller sized plants and turn them around quicker.

Was too pissed to check on the room. Luckily I came in today to find this

White Widow clones about 9-12 inches already. Haven't checked the feed, but they were keeping steady enough.

Afghan Kush. Haven't checked feed

Chocolope clones. Don't even wanna loot at the roots, they must be fucking huge because those plants look like they've grown a lot since last I checked.

Water and drain all in the same place. Have to get a longer hose and a sprayer so I can walk around with it instead of lugging a bucket towards it. Much easier when I run the F&D, a 40gal res would be impossible to lift up. Wires everywhere. Thinking about polying those walls. Got half a 10ftx50ft still.

Right...Going to run a perpetual 4 plant flood and drain on my 3ftx3ft table.

Not sure what they will veg in. WHich is why they're still in the cloner. I dont want to have an extra veg light running so I wanna share the tent space and have 4 moms in there and cloner and maybe a 2ftx2ft table. Ideally it would be best to veg and flower in the same table so I could scrog, but that means id have to buy another reflector to fit my MH and run a 600w for 18hours and 324w t5 for 18 hours. SO i'd rather just use the 600w and reflector for flowering(since my HPS works in it) and use the 324w t5 for veg and moms.

I changed the Afghan Kush water Wednesday 2/20 with RO water.

Next day the roots have this brown all over them. It's not slime, its like a residue almost. Like if I touch the roots i'll look at my hand and see this brown water type shit on my hands.

They look almost like those White Widow clones roots did in pictures on the 15th.

Before changing the water the White Widow clones and the Afghan Kush had white roots.

White Widow still has white roots, except for a little bit of brown in a spot. Doesn't feel slimey.

Getting so aggravated.

Afghan Kush roots. These were mostly white on the 20th when I did a res change, there were brown areas I just thought was grown stone dust, but maybe it wasnt? WHo the fuck knows, shit doesn't say hey im bacteria.. Added bennies last night.

Let them go to shit. Filling up with nutes at 6.0PH on sunday and checking PH when I can, but rarely. Filling up when they need it. Not adding any nutes or PHing except for sunday when I refill their res.

Too much going on in life atm.

PH is like 4.2 when I refill res. Drops about .1 to .2 a day i've noticed.

Meter crapped out on me. Was showing my tap water at like 5.5 when usually its 6.5/6.7

Yesterday it actually started showing EC and PH at the same time. Was weird. Been going on 2 years with the thing so I figure it may be time to get a new one.

Gave roots a good rinse on tuesday(since filling up tap water on Sunday, 48 hours later it said 4.2PH). So I was thinking the roots must have held onto a lot of water so when I moved to a new res it carried over a lot of that low PH water. I calibrated the meter on Tuesday and filled up a new res at 6.0PH at .9EC as im like a week from harvest. Then the next day I went to check the PH and my meter was broke. So who knows what the PH is now or EC. Going to get a new meter tomorrow.

Sucks cause my ladies are near finishing and already eating themselves from me neglecting checking on them.

Drying slow. 50-55% at 65-70F

Worried about the RH. Been 4 days drying so far and still feels moist. Shit, the top I trimmed on one of those is still moist at 6 days. Smokes, but doesn't cherry.

I may have to abandon this technique and chop the nugs off trim and dry the rest of the way. I'll give it a couple more days.
