ok its a couple weeks now in and they seem alright for my first dwc but they seem small compared to alot of peoples dwc....though ive seen people grow this strain nirvana wonder women and complain about how puny and skinny they are....i took some pics of some leaves that are fked up maybe someone knows what it could be the problem? i fimmed the soil one early and it has a bunch more tops or we....its already been 3 weeks and i planned on flowering at 4 weeks.........and was wondering what u guys think i might yield with this setup and a 400 watt hps........

uve got a very similar grow as my own, ive got 4 in dwc(kind of first time, i had to rescue a burned soil one earlier this year and i just threw it into a dwc, it worked)and 3 in soil, ive vegged for 3 weeks and flipped them on saturday. my dwc are all around 14" tall with tight node spacing, a helluva lot of roots and very bushy. the 3 insoil are between 9 and 11" in height with less than half the foliage. im under 400hps and im using ionics grow, blooom and boost, with a drop of superthrive. they are all in seperate dwc's though.heres couple of pics. i cant give u reasons for anything other than im just following a very basic schedule. i empty my res weekl and im feed around 1/4 strength nutes. my humidity and temps are good too. is your air feed sufficient? are your feeding routines correct? im only posting pics to give u a comparison. the strains are ak48, the church and blackjack.

Ya I assume I'm using advance grow micro bloom and gonna use big bud and bud candy for flower along with it...i don't have a ppm reader so I might be a little off....idk y they seem small do they seem small to u for 3 1/2 weeks? Keep in mind they were stunted because I did not water n feed them through the top I didn't know u were supposed to until the roots reach water so I messed up the first week not doing that....u think that could stunt em for the rest of their growth?....

they arent as big as mine but if uv stunted them then thatll be the reason i suspect, they look healthy enuff though so i wouldnt worry. maybe just give them an extra weeks veg and they'll probably catch up. take sum pics of your roots and i'll post up sum of mine for comparison, itll have to be tomorrow coz mine are sleepin just now. and no i dont think it'll stunt them, i think its just gave a them a slow start.

Dude my roots are no where near that massive ....what do u think could be the problem for them not getting that big because they're in a 30 gal res and maybe I'm not giving them enough nutesss...idk

hard to say mate, could be anything, nutes, strain, lights, temps, etc. im only giving mine less than half strength nutes at present but my temps are very good, this may be the reason.

Mine don't usually go above 67 but it's gotten to 70 before before a few hours cuz I wasn't home to throw in my blocks of ice they're I usually out in 2 2 gallon jugs of ice at a time so it stays ice cold

I know ur not supposed to go below like 62-63 but I checked tempersture one night at 3 am when I got up and I had put 4 gallons of ice in before I went to bed and it was like 58 degrees .....is that bad to cuz since then I haven't used ice at night during 6 hour dark period because I figured 58 was freezing them. My house is about 60 -61 at night
