ty for the input..+rep for ya

I don't know what I'm gonna do,I think I'm just gonna ride it out,it's all trial and error for me right now...that and I changed the water yesterday and the roots were already hanging way low into the reservoir so I don't want to risk anything to shock it even more.....But I am seriously thinking of just switching to purified bottled water today,I was gonna pick up a cheap ph test kit from wally world or someplace and go from there.
thanks for the rep, have some yourself:)

I have to ask is there any particular reason you want to do hydro? Are you doing it for yourself or for commercial purposes? taste wise soil grown ganja is the winner.

nah,I just saw someone else's waterfarm grow on here and wanted to see if I could reproduce the results with a cheaper setup............something tells me I failed

Not all is lost, I mean it's still alive right :D

throw a bean or 2 in some soil in a pot next to the hydro setup and see what happens, maybe the hydro will kick back up as you go maybe not but then at least you can compare the two first hand.

I think I found the problem....my water....I swapped my reservoir with some bottled purified water instead of regular tap and in under 24 hours I can already see the difference but I want to be sure it's just the water and not something else before I go out and start buying in bulk.
 
Interesting...so I did some research on this strain and apparently what I have is a strain that on rare occasions just naturally splits?....good?,bad?

^mine doing better with HPS than CFL,it's split right at the base and looks like 2 tops

k,fuck all the bullshit.........time to flower,12/12'n this bitch cuz it's been nuthin but headaches and I just want it done,I've learned so much from trial and error and what little help I got from the interwebz,not gonna bother scrogin since that just might cause more problems......next time though I'm gonna get that pre-fab GH waterfarm kit
 
Week 9

Day 7 of 12/12

HPIM1325.jpgHPIM1322.jpg

So I guess a 0-5-4 mix was the culprit,now I'm using a 5-5-5 mix for my nutes and the results speak for themselves

huh,nitrogen.....I just thought all I needed was light,air and water
 
pretty insane how small that plant is for veggin for 7 weeks
yeah,I wasn't giving the plant any nitrogen in my nutes,I was only using a 0-5-4 GH bloom but I apparently have the right mix now since I had to scrog since the top was 4 inches from my light,I lost a couple of flowers in the process of scrogging so late,but I would have lost it anyways if it got too close to the light.....I think I'm doing semi-good for my first grow,I've learned a lot on what to do and what not to do for my next seed.....but that's in the future.

I ended up seriously damaging the main stalk so I just wrapped the partial break with some duct tape

HPIM1332.jpg

It's still alive...even tho I'm just tempted to rip it out and start over from scratch....at least I know i'd do a better job the second time around
 
Day 15 12/12

The partial stalk break must have healed up correctly because the flowers are still alive and growing after 4 days so I guess I got lucky on that one

She's still goin strong,hopefully she'll be done by the end of july before it gets too hot for my box......just what I need,more problems,lol

Looking great man
Ty,+1 rep for ya

Day 24 12/12

HPIM1358.jpgHPIM1360.jpgHPIM1357.jpgHPIM1359.jpg

I'm gonna have to stop giving her nitrogen since it's getting too big for my box and I'm starting to run out of room to scrog,my buddies say they're shocked that I've gotten all that from a 150w hps,today I'm gonna get some dry ice for her to get those buds exploding
 
I remember my first plant :D

Sorry, that was a really really long grow for the results. I dont really think the problem lies in your DIY ponics. the right nutes and PH make all the difference in the world in hydro. GL mate, and switch back to the BLOOM formula for this part of growth.
