Day 23: Going on vacation tomorrow for a week, so this will be the last i'll see my babies for a while. My roommate and another friend who posts on here will be looking after them, and may update the journal for me.

Wow i'm well impressed with how they have grown, they look so good drizzle.

Fuck it dude, just let your bro look out for them now ;-)
 
There were a lot of roots coming out the bottom of the rockwool cubes, so I added another cube underneath.

I don't think it's mites but I could be wrong. I haven't noticed any on the plants, or on the sticky paper.

They seem to be a decent amount away from the light, so I dont think its light burn either. I can comfortably rest my hand at the tops of the plants. The cool-tube helps keep the temps down right under the lamp.

Nutrient burn seems to be the case. However, I have been giving them such a small dose of the solution (600ppm). My local hydro guy said then it might be the pH. This seems the most likely, since like an idiot, I adjusted the pH on the water BEFORE adding the nutrients :roll:. Therefore I think the nutes lowered the pH to around 4.5 or something, causing the plant to not uptake the nutes like it should.
 
If you adjust the ph before you ad your nutes then once the nutrients are added the ph is going to swing. Ph'ing should be done after adding nutes. Some nutes you don't even have to ph it, the nutes do it for you.
 
Yea, the Flora Nova Grow bottle that im using says that its pH stabilized, whatever that means. It still takes the pH down about 1.0 pH lvl.
 
Ph stabilized on nutrients generally means that it is acidic to counteract the alkaline of the water. The nutes i use are ph 2.8 when added to ph 6.8 water it brings it down to about 6.03. then i add a little ph down to bring it down to 5.8.
 
Maybe its just wishful thinking but I think I see a bunch of females in my crop. Most have white hairs forming a few nodes up the stalk. (even aside from the white cat hairs resting on the first plant)

This white widow is the only one I suspect of being a male so far, cause it doesn't have the white hairs like the others, just these "other" green parts.

Any second opinions on the sex of the plants? I just thought it was odd to have 5 of my 6 turn out female. Of course I started with 10, and gave 4 to a friend. I wonder if that means that his will most likely all be male.
