McFly's First Hydro Grow Journal Feb 2018

The clones I took are looking good so far. Also I wanted to catch you up on what is going on in my Flower room.

This is a Gorilla Glue plant that has been in flower for 5 weeks.
The cut in half plant has been the flower room for 57 days. The top half was ready at week 7. The Huckleberry Soda, and the Gorilla Glue are plants that have been in Veg. for 4 months and had bug issues. I tried growing in tents and it didn't work out and I lost almost my entire garden.
Pink Lemonade and Huckleberry Soda were over stressed and started to produce pollen sacs. That is why I had cut them down last week. I didn't want any seeds.

It became a hassle working with them. I like my rooms now. They (rooms) make it easier to get at the plants when the lights are off.

Well, it looks like you are ready to get back at it, but the wasted time always hurts.
 
Here are a few pics of Dutch Treat #2 being switched to Flower from Veg. This is day 40 in Veg.

Day 1 for Dutch Treat #2 in the Flower room. March 29 2018
 
I took a couple more pictures. The Gorilla Glue is coming down tomorrow. I switched the nutrient solution to rain water and a little sugar. Flushing in Hydro only takes a day or so. Any longer than that you will be flushing out the flavor.

This is the Gorilla Glue that is going to be cut down tomorrow. Day 51 in flower
This is day 16 for my clones. I let the room get too cold for the clones. I switched the fluorescent lights from 2 400 watt HID lamps. They made the room warmer and never had problems with clones before.

I am getting ready to take more clones later tonight.
Here is the same cola without the flash.

On 4/20/2018 I had taken 2 clones and put them online, I have a 8 bucket drip line set up and when I say online i am meaning it is in one of the open buckets. This is my first time showing how I do it.

Cleaning of the net pot and fixing the 1/2'' pvc pipe
These net pots fit over a 5 gallon bucket. When I move plants from the Veg room to the Flower room I am just moving the plant and the net pot.
The good thing about these net pots is that I can reuse them. I wash it with Dawn dish soap. I have used these net pots since 2012.

Rinsed off the clay dust off of the pebbles
The clay pebbles in a colander. I use this colander to rinse off the clay dust off the pebbles. If I didn't I would get is in my reservoir and clog up my drip lines.
I use the plastic cup to help get the pebbles from colander to the net pot.

Ready for the plant.
Depending on how big the clone is I fill the net pot of washed pebbles. Since this Dutch clone is on the smaller end I fill the net pot 3/4 of the way.

My clones. 4 different strains taken at different times
 
I noticed one of my plants in the Veg room, Pink Lemonade, was getting strange yellow markings and the leafs are from a deep green to leafs pale or yellow around the edges. This is a classic sign of Nitrogen lock-out. The pH of my Veg solution was at 7.2 on the pH meter. Around 6.5+ on the pH meter you will start seeing its affect.

You notice the difference in color. The center of the leafs are a darker shad of green then the...
What I did to fix this problem was changing out the nutrients. My Drip irrigation system hold up to 15 gallons of nutrient solution.
 
Here is some pics I took today in my Veg room. The nutrient solution is a pH level 6.7 22 hours after changing it. Yesterday the pH was 7.2 and I dropped it down with the pH down solution to 5.9. It takes me several days to drop it down to the low 6 to high 5 pH level. After I took these pics I used pH down to lower the solution down to 6.0. will check back on it in a couple of hours.
