Re: FINALLY got it rollin'!
Well just an update to say I have been all over the map as far as figuring out what I wanted to do.... so many choices and methods, so little $$$ and patience! Started with DWC only and really can't seem to quit fukin' with the damn things. Not good on my part.
Soooooooo, I switched most of the 3gal DWC buckets to 10gal tubs. I finally got pest control, some DR. DOOM "Spider Mite Knockout" and other pest.... but my leaves didn't like the pesticide so much, they started to curl and get dark green, so I misted them heavy to wash it off. I am definitely spraying lighter and further away next time.
Growth has been slow as far as I am concerned, wife said she notices growth everyday. Maybe I look at them too much!!
Anyhow, plants look good, a few burnt on the leaf tips from learning curve, but nothing serious.
I have yet to succeed in FIMMing and only wind up with leaves that are blunted when they grow out... perhaps gotta take more off?
In the 3 gal bucket all 4 plants have a somewhat milky translucent slime on the root growth. I have no clue what it is but have been searching. I can only think it is something to do with the fact they came out of someone's back yard and I didn't bath/wash the roots before switching them to my buckets. A contaminate or somethin'. Looks like mucus, like someone spit in my water and it clung to the roots. BUT WITH THAT said, the plants look good themselves?? Go figure.
These has something on roots:
As for todays numbers:
Veg cab hover around 84-87* (they stay 24/24 under a 200w cfl)
Water out of my tap is
PH 7.85
PPM 212
Temp 70.28
*Bubble tub only
February 1st (I use a Hanna meter)
PH 5.52
PPM 643
Temp 72*
February 2nd
PH 5.93
PPM 639
Temp 74*
So what do I decipher from these 2 sets of numbers guys? Plants are eating correct? I adjusted it back to 5.45 PH and 645 PPM
