Good deal for the measurements. Just wanted to make sure you weren't doing 1/4 of the recommend nute mix - that would be too lite prolly.

I figured that those roots belonged to the BFF - that is why I asked - She is not healthy and is not going to be until something changes, not sure what but something. If it is stunted, and droopy with roots like that, something is wrong. With the nice roots you had focused in the picture in mind you are obviously doing what you need to for the others to be healthy - that one is not. Any thing you can think of; damage, previous owner's neglect, bugs, diff amount of water from sprayers, could be a lot.

Well she was the biggest and had the most roots i think she is still in shock from the transplant. If its not that then it might be the fact that there is still some soil in her roots if you can see in the pic, should i rinse her roots some more? if she doesn't end up doing better by the time my 600w comes im gonna try and put her in a single bucket dwc and replace her with ether the Blueberry Dwarf or buy a clone that is not in soil so they dont have to go threw the stress of transplanting. Ether way i have already learned alot.
But something to mention is some some of her roots have grown down i can see a few peaking out of the hydroton isn't that a good sign?

Your doing good. I just want to help.

It might be from the transplant...

If you have too, too much dirt in there it could affect it, but if most of it is out it wont be able to retain TOO much moisture to harm the plant or clog the rez. If you think it would help do it- it cant hurt - you know how to transplant now - you have done it successfully.

Good idea about the soil-less clone, it would make it easier.

again great job. alot of people just kill plants.

But anyway my girls are doing about the same my B.F.F. has yet to fully recover and im still worried but whatever her roots are growing. My water PH is about 5.6 and my humidity has been going up since i put that glass of water by my plants. Anyway heres some pics Purple God Bud is first since shes doing the best I am a little worried she has some Brown spots on some of her leafs and some otheres are just brown at the tip what could it be???

Def looks like a bit of overnute. Do you measure ppm? If in soil I would water next time with a very low mix of nutes in water. I guess you can apply the same thing with hydro.

Peace, DST

No at the moment i dont have a PPM meter but i will be getting one soon. Im probably just gonna drain and replish with a bit less nutes and see how she likes it

The light was 19 inches above now it is 17 inches above. I just turned my light off to give my plants some rest. Which light cycle do you think is best for a 600w. I heard 24/7 is were you see the most growth but then again shouldnt plants sleep and my light get some rest??? For today i did 18/6 im going to get some timers tomorrow and on Friday a PPM meter

i veg on a 24 hour shedule and they grow great. but i use a cfl for veg to with the 600 i would go with like 18/6 or 20/4 because the bulb will get very hot not turning off for awhile, i would stay with the 18/6 since thats what they are on already.

K thanks i am making a trip to the grow store tomorrow since im off to get the rest of what i need. Im hoping i can find a good deal on a Carbon Filter and inline fan. I also want a grow tent for either Veg or Flowering. Anyway i also need more PH down and a PPM meter. When i got home and checked my PH it was at 8.2 so i put some PH down in and ill go check it again in about an hour. Both my girls roots are looking very healthy :D
AND I have a question There is a dark green kinda brownish looking residue left where the top of my water is what is that and is it bad?

u should look at htgsupplies prices for a fan and filter might be cheaper to order from theri. and damgood thing u tested the ph i dont think they would have liked it like that for long. and not sure on the dark green residue
