Fist time grow

Thanks , Yea im just waiting on payday and I'll get a couple of small fans

[Gumby1]

i would worry for now man.

 

 the big fan will do the job just as good... ya just dont want it aimed right at the plant.. may(but prob wont) cause damage to it..... some people do it to strengthen the stem.. i just give em little taps every now an then when i check on them..

 

 kinda make em dance back an forth a few times real gently.

I just did first res change the ph was up to 8.5 would this be because of air stone being new ? Also when adjusting ph should I have bubbler/air stone running or not ?

You need to continue this grow in a diary section...but it looks good..

Keep an eye on the pH, it is not unusual for the pH to rise over time, I am unsure of the mechanism for the rise though. the new air stone may have had alkalime species present, causing a dramatic rise in pH.

Cool , thanks I'll start a diary

So I did a res change yesterday and changed lighting from 24/0 to 20/4 , this morning ph was up at 7.5 and there's some yellowing of the first set of leaves ( the rounded ones ) , is this yellowing normal or could it be from too high ph or the change of lighting ?

Can you take pics without led on...Whats the nutes you using and strength ratios? What recipe of nute mix are you using...What is the ph and ppm or ec? 

 

 

your Ph needs to be between 5.3-5.8 most sit at a ph of 5.8 but I sit mine at 5.5

 

they need weak nutes at that stage or just use ph water....

 

I would say nutes too strong plus ph is wrong...

 

I hand water for the first 2 + weeks then start applying small nutes end of week 2 then goes into DWC week 3...

 

You should just be running ph water as they have enough nutes already..

Hey , thanks for replying, no nutes yet just ph water , having trouble stabilizing it tho , was 7.5 when I checked yesterday morning brought it back to 6 and was back at 7.3 this morning .I thought optimal ph was between 5.5 and 6.5 but if you think that's too high I'll keep it below 6 , at work at mo so I'll post another pic tonight with lights off and thanks again I appreciate your help

 

Peace
