@JUNGLE_B4RNS,they don't look normal

@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.

@BigDaddyK,they don't look normal or they don't have roots hair ?

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

@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.

@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 :-/

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.

@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.

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

@biggreens420, Not going to talk about taste yet... It needs to have a proper cure first. But it works ;)

@rdrunner,what's it tastes like?

@biggreens420, Thanks... I already tried a few smaller buds... The stuff is working :D

@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...

@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.

@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..

@rdrunner,been there 🌳

@BigDaddyK, I waited so damn long ;) She had to come down... (Been out of smoke since i started her about)

@biggreens420, Thanks... She is very photogenic ;)

@biggreens420,nice pics bro

@BreakingBud, Thanks... I will post better pictures in about a week or so once I get home again ;) Currently I only get some low resolution WhatsApp shots...

@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

@James, my biggest concern is the sitter for 2 weeks... :D

@rdrunner, Then it will do its job ! 👻

@Oyziphar, Not yet ;) But they were quite sad to be hones when it came to size... way below the mail foilage but they did look a bit frosty though... Been without weed since i started this diary basically :D

@rdrunner, Did you smoke them? 👻

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

@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)

@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.

@ForestGreen, Next strain will be CBD Crack from Fastbuds... Not sure when i will pop it due to vacations... Anyway... I am very happy with the grow i think its a good diary also... I recovered from quite some mess ups and i am about [8} from her right now :D

@rdrunner, Yeah unfortunately that's probably the way its got to be after the fuss last time. Too bad man. Congrats all the same on the grow and a good diary.

@ForestGreen, I asked folks to look at my diary... Not to vote, but plain look... So I got removed So @GrowDiaries are enforcing it a good deal stricter now. Anyway... Next Diary will be better and i will be back - No bad feelings @GrowDiaries - Keep up the good work ;)

She looks a lot less bushy now... But the growth was not halted... She added another 3 cm this morning

@rdrunner,from the pictures we can see inside the plant, it looks okay 👌

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Yes... Not sure if I should take some more leaves or not... Most bud sites now get light ok

@rdrunner, Nice work mate

@Growlev, currently she is in a 10 L bucket... Planing to upgrade her to 20 L later... And did...
