Gorilla Bomb by Lymmie

Hey everyone. If anyone is still watching. You rock and thank you. More trouble and issues. So after successfully giving it nutrients for the first time last week we had a growth spurt but also a stretch due to inadequate and uneven lighting. Need to make some modifications in the future there. In this veg box there is 3x60 watt compact flourescents. 2x2ft t12 flourescent tubes. And a 300 watt led. One of those chinese blurple leds that is real weak. It is the one that caused the stretching I believe. This rapid growth also came with the reservoir draining unexpectedly quick which is probably the only thing that saved the plants because then I lost electricity for 36 hours. The pumps were off! The plants are very very unhappy as you can see. =( I am still new to hydro and trying to figure it out and these mistakes taught me quite a bit on how to proceed going forward. I realize one of my mistakes now is using such a small container. It empties too fast and is too small to make easy nutrient mixes. The new container holds exactly a gallon of water and its perfect for our needs. I didnt have o paint it this time so i hot glued a garbage bag on to black it out just so i could get the plants into their new home. The roots had all tangled and i had to damage them extensively to separate them...or rather i did without meaning too. We will see how they fare in a day or so. The hydro plants are using current cultures nutrient solution as well as botanicares silica blast. This is up about double from last week. Will not be changing nutrient regiment until growth is healthy. I may ultimately scrap these and take clones from the plant in coco coir once it is big enough. I am unsure right now on the future of the garden but I felt I owed you all an update. The single one in the coco coir is thriving. It is being given the organic nutrient line from Nectar For The Gods.
