Feeding: hydro 10ml (1/4 of recommended dose from Green House Feeding Hybrids). ; Height: 8.5cm. Problem: stretching. Positive: long root at the bottom of the plug is tapping into the brown water which came out of the plug. I am worried about PPM because of osmosis. Need to test PPM of the runoff water at the bottom of the plastic bottle. PS PPM = 500-900. My guess was correct - the PPM was too high! I guess it may have caused serious stress to the plant because all its minerals would have escaped it and ran into the runoff, and it would try to eat but it would be extremely hungry because the minerals would have moved to the high PPM water. Is my logic right? I need help from a person who undertands hydroponics, please, write me some words of help in the comments. I WILL REMOVE THE RUNOFF WATER :open_mouth: because it is 900PPM, and I must do it after every watering if I don't want to see a yellow corpse!!! I have already raised one other plant in this way - using the plug for germination - and it kept alive for about 3 weeks (though it was too stressed and yellow as a seedling, and the harvest was 10 grams of buds outside. I watered the substrate in the trough with 1 liter of 6.1pH plain water at 27C (substrate temp: 25C). I watered because I found out that my sprout of legume has got sick + dying with some kind of rot on its stem, but perhaps it was the lack of water. The upper 3cm of soil are dry like paper. The worms cannot come back to the substrate after getting into this dry crust, and get trapped, though the reason I am so frugal with water is because I don't need fungus gnats which arrive if the upper layer is always wet. I have not seen a fungus gnat for many weeks, and if they come, I simply don't water until the top 3 cm of substrate get dry and dry up the parasites' larvae.

i wonder how the buds are going to survive at this destance from the lamp. Subscribed to your risky endeavour. :astonished:

Evening. First watering.:sob: The leaves are open. First hydroponic feeding: 0.3g + 120ml water - base solution (1/4 of the recommended dosage for young plants). So, I made 120ml of base solution, which has to be used like this (according to chatbot): ''Mix 1 mL of your stored fertilizer base solution + 9 mL water = gives 10 mL for seedlings. This is ratio (1 : 9) ''. I used 10ml for watering, i.e. I diluted the base solution 1:9 with distilled water. Fertilizer: Green House Feeding Hybrid. Air: 26C. Humidity: 63%. Substrate 26C. PS I mulched+tilted the soil 7cm deep. I am worried about my worms because they used to be abundant and visible, and now after 28C of hot temperature for a week they have disappeared, but I hope some are still alive to give offspring. PSS: the distance to the lamp was changed from 40 cm to 30cm. PSSS these electronic scales are terrible. I have doubts I weighed exactly the required weight because they are not sensitive and often the results jump up or down. Can you recommend a quality affordable model to weigh 0.026g with precision because I don't want to burn the babies.
