New Grower

2ft is about perfect for those lights mate. And yeah, you need a cleaning product as budz said there. Can't grow hydro without something to keep the Res clean. Get all sorts of nasty shit growing in the Res otherwise. Hydro guard I'd go for, not sure what the others are but that one will definitely keep you safe.

Those products he listed are things that stop bacteria growing in the Res mate.
If you can physically clean the Res at changeover it won't hurt but you shouldn't really have to if you use one of those products. Don't use something of that nature and you can get all sorts of stuff growing in it.

If you can find sm-90, that's the best of the bunch but for some reason a lot of places out of stock just now. That's what I use and can run my Res at 29*c before I need to start panacking. It's root stimulation and a pest detergent too. Not sure how much of a deterrent but I've never had a single beastie in 3 years using it. 1L bottle makes 3300 litres of safe, clean nutes. Only £20, if you can find it.

I’m in England so will have a look

 

[Barney86]

Awe man I just had a look to see whats happening with the sm-90 and it's been pulled due to some American twat having a problem with the label. There's some on eBay but it's mostly decanted. I'd never buy decanted stuff like, hydro guard is the next most recommended product for it.

Thanks mate also my air pump ain’t to strong just getting a newer 1 double the 1 I got so think that’s going to help

 

[Barney86]

The more air the better mate. There is a formula as to how much you need. Litres per our air/Litres of solution. Can't remember what it is but won't be too hard to find on Google if you want to look.
I'm an nft grower, pretty similar but doesn't require an air pump so never really looked into it.

I’ve ordered 1 that pumps 60l per hour so pretty good mine was half that

Update on droopy plants most have bounced back now just a few still little droppy so few more days should be back on track happy days

Still little short when will they start to grow in height?

 

[420BudzFreak]

Theyll grow in time. No rush. They stretch big time during flowering. They look happy and healthy, I wouldnt worry.

 

[snowbound]

As said, they look great. Soon as enough roots get down into the nute solution they will explode for you. I am just a tad further along in my grow than you. If you look at mine you will see what you have coming your way.
