ok well its been about 2 weeks fighting this grow. got new picks up. Germinated another seed last night its a big bud feminized seed gonna try soil with this one. The other bucket i got i waiting for the lowryder cause i got no buds and want to get them fast. So i can veg these 2 and hopefully if the lowryder #2 shows up tommarow its been shipped ill set up the other bucket. Thinkin of gettin a shitload more bubbletones i want more bubbles. Leaves are still yellow and new ones coming in are light green. Running very diluted nutes waiting for roots to for better on plant cause of transition from soil to hydro it seems be messing up the root structure a bit little tannish color . Ph is at 5.8 and goes to 6.5 everyday i change back only once a day. trying to ph in that spot so what little roots are workin they get some food. Is tis why i Have the discoloring. I ran it on straight water for a day to flsuh the roots clean then added less then a 1/4 nuted water i had drain out. so the solution of nutes is very light. So i hopeing it will start to really prosper soon. been messing with this for like 3 weeks now seed to soil then to hydro. Hope it did not make this a hermie cause of stress. Let me know what u think of its progress. Pix with white towel on resovoir are most recent. https://www.rollitup.org/members/xxstelxx-albums-alaskan-ice-first-grow-evah.html

new root growth and its nice and white woohoo its coming along
I grew out off hydro a couple of times.Make sure ur water dosent get to cold thats important for the roots so they wont clog up and will get the right amount of nutes. Wen u add ur nutes u should mix them a gallon jug and dilute them real good then just pour it in the resivor and mix it wit the rest of the water. Make sure u change ur water every week and half during flower. And the last week and a half to 2 weeks b4 harvest dont give it any nutes u should flush it so it wont smoke harsh

well opted out on soil put other big bud feminized in other hydro unit still waiting for it to sprout. Its only been a few days im sure she will pop out soon. As far as nutes are concerned i am running less then 1/4 of what is suggested in res with some super thrive in both units i will add stronger nutes when i see good growth right now i just want some healthy plants. roots are moist and get lots of mist from the bbulebath i got going plus i have a feed line from a water pump keeping net pot nice and damp i checked ph it seems to flucuate about .5 daily goes from like 5.9 or 6 to about 6.5 or less every day. I lower it back everynight only requires a couple drops to do so. as for the PH in the tank with the germinated seed it has stay at 6.0 from when i added nutes and ran it. they are sleepin now got em on 18/6 schedule. I think dark helps promote root growth so thats why i went from 24/7 to 18/6 and it seems to workin fine. Lowryder showed up today but the little bag containing the seed was empty :( not sure what happened there. I have ordered from them a few times and it went great but this time i got an empty bag. I wonder what they are going to do for me. It was $$ cause it was feminized lowryder #2 and will suck if they say they will not resend it. where do you get ur seeds from? I bought single seeds casue i could not affors the 50 bucks for 10 and hope that they are female so i figured one feminized was the way to go. Worldwidemarijuanaseeds is where i have ordered from and first 2 orders went off without a problem third one was empty bag :(. Did you get your electrcity all straightened out Dirtfree? I can help if u need it, im an electrician.

Shity so the bag was empty??? Did it have a rip or anything? Id call them and let them know but most likely they are going to tell you we sent it. Ive never ordered seeds. I would like too but money is really tight right now. Im still on my first grow, but after this one id like to order some Northernlights and white widow.

Dude if i have any other elec. problems i know where to come. Ya everything is good! Im soo happy now. No ext. cords. Everything looks neat and clean.

ok here are some new pics grrr i have nutes at about 800ppm PH at 5.5 to 6.5 fluctutes daily and i am getting green veins but light green growth. wtf am i doing wrong here. It is grwoing and when i added nutes it straightened right up. It is growing. I recently checked roots again and got rid of the rest of the brown old nasties from when it was in soil. Roots are all white now. New growth in center seems to be greener but will not be able to tell for a few days till it grows some more. I tried to capture the green veins and the light green growth with pics please someone tell me wtf im doin wrong here.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong, the pH , ppm and temps sound good to me.

You should of, could have washed them better after you took them out of the dirt, maybe. Just let them grow, they're OK. Don;t worry about the light green growth and veins. Raise the ppm with a little bit more nutes.

i raised nutes and it looks better new growth is greener this morning. Will the light green leaves turn green or wil they stay the color they are.

thanx for reply rose ill post pics in week or so but i think i got thie nutes straightened out. I got a Big bang in rockwool with little taproot about a 1/4 or so been about 4 days and no sign of it popping up. I put it in res with plain water and superthrive phed of course. how long do they usually take to pop outa rockwool? First time with seed in rockwool so im not sure. I have done a few in dirt and they have seemd to pop out quicker. should i add light nutes to this? right now its in plain water in bubbleponics tank same as alaskan ice with a little dome on top of rockwool to keep it nice and warm. one cfl above it. bubbles going and feed tube in rockwool. any suggestions?

Babies come out of the womb hungry, but they can not eat a T-bone steak yet. start them on 1/4 nutes, AFTER you see the 2nd set of leaves, not counting the first round ones.
