Get your PH to be about 6.2-6.5, and bring your lights down a bit. You probably dont need to water that often...maybe every 2 days or so with SOIL. Unless your soil is really drying out because its not coming up high enough to the roots and plant. Why did you choose to do soil w/ the ebb/flow?

Have fun......your setup ROCKS..check out my hydro sea of green

Welcome to my journal blueberry! Your setup looks awesome btw!

i am NOT using soil, im using COCO mix in w/ additives (Botanicare's soil-LESS moisture mixture).

the system i am doing is coco as the medium and im handwatering just cuz the space is so small and i want to love my plants lol

i have not tried those yet. i've heard of all those cuz my friend loves botanicare. What does each of them do?

Today is day 4 for me and i repotted them lower and today i fed them at 5.9 ph / 750 ppm / 72 degress and i also added superthrive. 2 gallons was all my 20 lil babies needed today. do you think i am under watering?? Here are some pics after i just watered them.

Day 6, and they just sprouted new lil leaves at the top.

on a feeding schedule of 5.8 ph / 760 ppm + 1/2 the recommended amount of SUPERthrive

There is one baby of mine that has it's leaves turned upside down, i thought it was weird, it's one of the hindu kushs. the leaves are kinda dry to the touch, anyone know what could be the problem? it's the middle one of the first row.

i also wanted to show you the most healthiest one of them all. it's white widow doing well very =) im quite proud of that one though i haven't really been doing much.

Give us a single shot of it .... with zoom ... 3-4 of what she looks like. My eyes aren't that young anymore.

They r looking pretty in the pics u attached. I found that if I quit worrying and read journals here the gro goes better. These are hardy plants that tell u what they want. EACH strain and growing environment is different. Watch how others have handled the problem and modify as needed.

Guilty of stoned Irish running on .... and on ....

Opps... does that leaf of 3rd middle front 1st pic .... touch the soil? If so ... lose the leaf or modify soil height.

Looking good man

Day 7, watered at 5.8ph / 750 ppm. nothing new, babies are just sprouting new leaves.

I have included pictures of the one hindu with the leaves turning sideways. its a bad picture but you can see one of the leaves' backside facing upwards. what should i do with that leaf?

Also i have included a picture of the cocotek basket i am using and if you see closely, there is some white stuff coming out. i was told it's the gluten they use to hold the basket together but just wanted everyone opinion on what it could be.

Also put up a picture of a hindu. it looks like it's gonna be really bushy with the nodes so close together.

tomorrow is the start of week 2. i am bumping up the nutes to 50% of the recommended. My inside temp is still around 79 without counting for windchill and im still waiting on a thermometer from amazon. humidity is around 53 and jumping up to nearly 64 right after feeding. is everythign alright so far? what do you all think?

Today i was going to water my babies with now 50% recommended of cutting edge nutes but i had a buddy come over yesterday and told me i might be over watering them.

So because they like to be thirsty more than anything, im going to skip watering today and have them keep on soaking up the nutes in the coco.

Will post up today's progress pictures later on today.

Last pics ur babies r looking good ... looking forward to the next pics post.

Thanks for the compliment but something has happened!!!

i didn't water yesterday because the soil was too moist and today i walked in and the humidity was down to nearly 30% but the soil was dry. so i watered them today with the 50% recommended nutes. The levels that i watered them at were 5.8ph and 780 ppm.

As i looked closer, there was one baby of mine, a hindu, and the top part of the baby seems to be drooping and the stem is white. is that cuz i skipped a day of feeding? i hope so!! please help! i've included pictures.

picture "7" is of the drooping stem. the other two i included cuz i wanted to ask you all if i should pluck off those bottom leaves yet?

Pictures from Day 11, not much going on but... take a look below....

Day 23, they look awesome. had to move them around cuz i had two runts and some of the hindu's were still recovering from shock while the white widows were all good.

Went to a ppm of 810-820, 5.8ph.

Included some photos of the best looking White Widow (photo w/ 2 next to one another) & Hindu Skunk (photo that is vertical). also included a photo of the runts relying on chopsticks to stay up. tell me what you all think!

Plants are looking awesome. When are you going to start flowering?

well due to the fact that i might have shocked them a lot when i was potting and repotting them, i was suppose to flower TODAY but because of the stress, i pushed it back to next mon or tues.

i know i gotta clear out the bottom leaves and start to clone off some of the bottom stems. but i was told to wait til the babies grew another 2 more inches before topping them.

wat do you allthink?

Here are some pictures of my babies, oh no, they're all grown up now.

i am now flushing them and i got introduced to this new product to try. Supposedly you use it in the final 2 days of flush and it helps dehydrate the plant a little earlier and helps the cure process and finishes the product 2 days faster. will post pictures of that product soon
