Patatonestarted grow question 4 years ago

Hi, I'm a beginner grower (currently on my 2nd hydroponics grow for cannabis but I've grown many other plants in the same setup). My questions is: In an hydroponics setup, is it normal for plants to start really slow? I see lots of plants in soil getting huge after only 2 weeks.

In the water if things are done well it is always faster, including the first parts of life. obviously it takes more "tact" and attention to detail. - MAINTENANCE of a stable PH - start with the right solution 600-900ms / cm - allow the rockwall to dry just right before wetting again. If things are done well and precise there is no comparison with earth. Oxygen always available, nuts also and adjustable to the second, same ph, same temperature of the water. Why should it go "slower"?.

Hi mate, I think thats true for most hydroponics as it takes time for the roots to reach the nutrients fully. Where as with soil it is available immediately. However, after this time the growth explodes faster than soil. I hope this helps, good luck

New growth looking strange and growth slowed down (wilting?)The new growth of my plants are looking a bit strange, and growth seems to be slowed down. Could this be that the light is too strong? Or can this happen if the humidity is too low? I already installed an humidifier but looks like its not helping. Whats going on? Info in week 10.

Fall Recovery How is the seedling looking? She took a fall yesterday afternoon and I immediately rescued her as I could and repotted into final 3 gallon fabric pot (actually 5 gallon but only had enough Coco Loco for 3 gallons). Thank you for the read, happy growing and learning. :)

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)? I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed). Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?
