There's too much light bro ! She's miniaturizing herself ! For the roots, I don't know if they should have roots hair or not in DWC. @BigDaddyK, @thephalanx420, Will know more than me, for your roots if they look normal at this stage.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, they look quite small to me, but have saturated the entire rockwool and are starting to extend below it. Hopefully there is a well oxygenated reservoir below for them to reach in the next day or two.

I moved them out of the light as good as possible... Its only a slight curl up, and the leaves stay a healthy green. I am watching them like a hawk for serious light burn (brown pistils, burned tips/sides) and will move the plant lower if that happens. I dont want to dim the lights since the rest of the plants is getting the perfect amount, just the 2 top ones are to close. The picture above is from one of the curling leaves, and i find her beautiful :D

@rdrunner,yeah they're perfect, from the pictures we can really see they're happy, that lil burn is nothing. 😉

Are the roots in the water ? Also where is the air pump ?

@BigDaddyK, @rdrunner, personally, i think the roots were just spreading throughout the rockwool (which was too wet), but now that they've come through the bottom of the netpot, i think they'll reach the water and start to stretch rapidly. I'd still advise to stop top feeding for now until the roots are established in the res below, then top feed for maybe 1-2 minutes every 2 days to keep the rockwool damp, but not saturated (or whatever amount of time allows for that). I think it'll get better from here.

BigDaddyKcommented7 years ago

@rdrunner,difficult , I personally think they are too wet .

@BigDaddyK, I don't want to kill her off already... My last seedling got killed by the sitter (The same one who is watching during the 2 week summer vacation that is coming up after the next weekend) So starting a new plant now is something I don't want to try, since that would cost me another month at least :-/

Very nice! Which heatsinks do you have on Veros?

Kriixlercommented7 years ago

Have you found any vendors in Europa for heatsinks?? I'm still looking, but I can't seem to find anything. I think I'll go for KingBriteLed next.

rdrunnercommented7 years ago

@KonopCh, i tried real hard to find some passive ones here... But I had no luck finding any. Shipping from the US for the heat sinks was very high so i said fuck it. The Heatsink does not get very warm... I am tempted to run it without ventilation, since i have less than 70W each side, but i got everything hooked up now and i am somewhat lazy. If i work on it again i will remove the driver from the frame and place it outside to lower the temp in the tent.

Blablablacommented7 years ago

@rdrunner, oh, I've got these too. I was expecting that you have passive heatsinks, don't know why...

Your plants looks like it's been over watered . Droopy leaves with speed bumps.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, thanks for the warning... I did try to build something like this http://www.growweedeasy.com/high-yield-bubbleponics-technique The only issue was that I wanted to skip on the water pump, so I decided to let the water drip from a res into the plant slowly. I guess since I was playing around a bit and "adopted" it to top feed from a 2nd res instead of my main res it didn't get the air-enriched water from the main res... Well the roots are now out of the cup, so they should find some more air in the pot...

JUNGLE_B4RNScommented7 years ago

@rdrunner, the droopy leaves with speed bumps is the first symptom of over watering, then the petiole and the stem will start purpling due to Mag deficiency because of rotted roots.

rdrunnercommented7 years ago

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I am constantly drip feeding her right now. She gets about 1 drop/5-10 seconds. The roots finally left the net cup today and start growing down from there. I hope this will solve the issue for me. I am not planning to submerge the net cup on this grow. I will watch her to see if she gets better now, since her roots are now finally starting to get exposed to the air. But watching the overwater pictures from growweedeasy does have some resemblance :) Edit: I cut the dripping water supply for today... I think the Rockwool will hold sufficient water for 2 days..

Just looking roots are getting better , make there is a gap between bottom of rock wool and reservoir

rdrunnercommented7 years ago

@BigDaddyK, I made sure that they don't touch... But the stuff is still "dripping wet" even after not top feeding the last few days... The bubbler is right below and that is most likely the cause. But they are only getting airy-water now

Purple stems, is due to Mag deficiency, probably the light is too close/too powerful

JUNGLE_B4RNScommented7 years ago

@rdrunner,alright, it sounds ok for the light. The Cal Mag should fix the problem in a few days.

rdrunnercommented7 years ago

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, the light is as high as possible already... I can only lower the setup in a few days... Currently the plant gets like 135W from 2 Vero29's with 3000K The plant needs more light once it gets flipped to flower, right ? I was planning to use the Mars you see on some pictures kinda as a side lightning once flowering starts. My last measurements were about 81K Lux at plant top level when I left 2 weeks ago (Cheap phone light sensor)

JUNGLE_B4RNScommented7 years ago

@rdrunner,if it's a Mag def due to too much Lumens, it won't, even if you add 3 pounds of Cal Mag. The solution will be to put your light just a lil bit farther. Just wait and see if it starts to vanish in a few days.
