She is looking much better today! I raised the LED a little higher to see if it is the light that is causing the wilt. I took a second tote lid with a hole and put on top of the first tote lid to prevent light from getting in the res.

Wilt returned that night?

The roots are getting longer and showing good fishbone. They look a little brown so I asked Lordjin if they were OK and he said I was fine - whew:

And here is a top shot with the second tote lid on top:




Adjusted the pH back down to 5.6. Keeping the ppm around 600.

No big changes but she is getting bigger. I took the extra tote lid back off because I was woried I would not be able to remove it soon since the plant was getting bigger. I think I will cut it in half so I can slide each half on from the sides.

Did my res change today. I use my little pump from the 5 gallon setup and throw it in my res and pump the water out to my 5 gallon bucket. It is slow and easy and I can get most of the water out of the res.

Hi All,

Here is what I was doing before I changed to the Scottyballs method.

Here is what I put in my res:
- 7 gallons RO water
- 12 ml Pro-TeKt
- 30 ml Sensi A
- 30 ml Sensi B
- 30 ml H2O2 3%
- 3 ml JungleJuice Micro (for zinc)
- 2 ml JungleJuice Grow (like Cal-Mag)
- 3 ml SuperThrive
- 2 ml Mad Farmer Get Down pH

Results: 900 ppm and 5.4 pH - Darn! I was shooting for 600ppm and 5.8.

Cheers,
Mo

She seems to be a little ruffled from the res change. I was worried about the low pH but one of the gurus here said to just leave it and let it ride back up to 6 on its own. I am trusting him!

Day 53 LED and CFL light:



Cheers,
Mo

Edit: The leaves look funny because I was blowing a fan at the plant and it was bending the leaves.

April 3rd - She seems to like the low pH and is really starting to grow fast. Took several pictures today.

Roots - they look brown but it is just the way the flash gets absorbed by all of the root hairs. They actually look white to the naked eye:

She is starting to get big. I need to cleen out my cabinet so I can set up the screen and block all of the light for when I go 12/12. Right now I am using 18/6. I cut the second tote lid in half and added metal tape to the bottom tote lid to block light where the two halves do not meet completely.

Still adding to the cabinet. I couldn't figure out how to mount the CFLs and be able to adjust them as needed. Then I got the bright idea to use adjustable shower curtain rods.

New light setup - 4 100 W 6500K CFLs and Kessil LED:
