Day 14: Changed the water, kept conditions constant, balanced the nutrients and pH (which was tricky), and everything went well with this it seems. Day 18: The light failed. I lost 3 hours of light in the morning. Ran to the grow shop and realised that the light was ok and I had wired it incorrectly. It worked when I brought it home, and rewired it. But the 3 hour loss bothered me a bit. Day 19: Trimmed the growth tips on the first 2 nodes. Added more clay pellets to increase stability. Day 20: Realised that the cheap ass timer I had been sold at the supermarket was in fact a dud and was failing. This resulted in 24 hours of light, and after this the plant was visibly stressed with slightly off-color leaves. I replaced this timer.

Good luck mate. Looks like you have the equipments necessary for your grow. 1 plant in DWC under 250W HID will be more than enough in this grow room. I know you may not be done with your grow but I'd like to remind you that AC plugs near hydroponics is not recommended :)

@Piablo, no nothing wrong with the plants it’s just a big electrical hazard. You can get an extender for cheap.

@MaryJaneUSA, thank you. Unfortunately the cable is pretty short from the ceiling fan, that's why it's in there. So I'm going to look at moving that out before I plant. Is it actually bad for the plant or is it just because it's an electrical hazard?

Really fun that your grow room stand right at the room, not in the corner, but more in the middle. Where I live, there I growing 🤪 And also this mystical voice 👻

Glad it’s all coming together. Looks good, don’t think your hassles caused any real damage. She’s going to take off now. What doesn't kill them makes them stronger. I truly believe that.

Yeah when you first setup there are always some bugs to work out. Getting consistent temp. was a nightmare for me. Then I realized that fluctuations in humidity and temperature though not optimal was acceptable to a point. Trying to be on point at all times made growing more frustrating then enjoyable.

Looking good , just topped and was going to start LST but decided to wait till healed some. Was afraid of stem splitting at top site. Might be what happened to yours. Glad it’s only slight.
