8 aug # I went to the local hydroponic store picked up a Thermostat with humidity sensor, clay pebbles to add around the plugs and some root stim for experimenting with on making clones. Went to Canadian tire and picked up a small fan with a clip, it is larger then the other fan. The one guy who fell out when moving has not grown at all seems to be stuck frozen in time. The late one pushed helmet off but leaves have not fanned out. So grabbed a water bottle to make a make shift propagation chamber maybe that will help. added a little bit of rooting gel to the plugs maybe that will help.
One thing is that the space is very limited and every time I think of something for equipment I have to think of space. I may move my exhaust fan outside and attach directly to carbon filter and use hose to make a feed path from top of tent.
Figuring that O2 is lighter then CO2 I am setting up exhaust from top of tent and feeding air from ground level will make little if no difference.
Have applied for my medical card, and may plan on applying for grow licence for my medical (if approved) so using recreational limits here in the great white north to learn.
Water is solution is still in the 150 ppm range
Lighting no change 18/6
Planning on changing solution next weekend (17th)

Another shout-out to DILLIGAF who's diary has given me a great guideline to my first hydroponic grow
9 Aug# Woke up checked on them before dark period found Yip curled up and dead. RIP buddy you held on to that helmet for too long. Yup seems to be doing ok PPM is still 156 and PH is still 6. I think that He could have done a few more days with cover so the shell would be softer. Any Insight would be great.
Have started another seed in water to get it going. I may wait longer before the transplant this time to ensure it propagates longer. I figure that the other one is only a week ahead I will add another seed until I get a stable plant.
Added my Mothers plants one is runty the other got topped and prepped for mainline
UPDATE switch to advance nutrients, Trying to figure out what happened looked around and Voodo Juice is highly recommended. As well I have some pH perfect around from my mothers grow so using that.
Picked up a fish tank aerator at Wally world when I went for new distilled water that is a GREAT VALUE only 15 bucks CAD, it was the best one small but came complete in a kit
11 Aug # Well very uneventful so far, the last seedling died, he started to respond well to the nute change just was to far gone at that point. So the seed I just popped will be my last hope on the attempt here at my mothers as I have to move back to my apartment for education (that is where i will attempt again)
- WARNING DO NOT USE ROOT FARM NUTRIENTS THEY WILL KILL
I will continue this diary not make a new one as this is not about the plant, this is more about hydroponics as a medium
12 Aug # The last hope has popped her head out. Comment for name of the plant.
14 Aug # Last hope has been in the res for 2 days now and has shown signs of reacting to light and growing little bits hopefully she will take
I am glad you asked this question. This is where a lot of people make the mistake of putting it in too early. You want to wait until you have a nice little taproot(at least a half inch) sticking out of the bottom of the starter plug before you put it in the system. They can suffocate from too much water pretty easily before that root comes out. Hope this helps. Good luck!
The only seed variety available to purchase legally in Ontario.
It is not even worth growing that genetic. It is the Concord Grapes of Cannabis
Argyle

THC 2.00 - 10.00%
CBD 4.00 - 8.00%
@Motherandson, Now that you have a reciept for an official seed from OCS purchase some great genetics next round...... Nobody will be testing your pot to make sure it is from OCS !! ;)
@Motherandson Thankyou so much for the kind words regarding my tutorial I am pleased to learn it is doing what
I set out for it to do and that's helping newbies like us Best of luck with your Grow 👊
