1st time back. New set up. Can you tell me how we are looking?

Back after a decade so I’m rusty.
-150w led
-Bubbles going (always done it this way). Added a sprayer inside the bucket.
-rapid rooters
GH 3 part nutes
Clonex seed and clone

-lemon cherry x end game (ethos)f
-Punchberry (ethos)f
-watermelon zittles (Barney’s (auto)
-24k (freebie auto)
-sidecar (freebie auto

germinated last week.
Last Friday Put into rapid rooters soaked with 5ml/liter clonex 5.6pH. 25% LED, dome, heat mat. Air ~ 72°F 80-90% humidity. Air stones. Water temp 74° 5ml/L clonex ph 5.6-5.9
-pic is Lemon cherry closest left side. Punch berry to the right of that. Watermelon behind. 24k. And the back left side car. 24/7 light. Watermelon only root in the water
-turnEd up the light through the week to 50%. Add some nutes thurs grow/micro. Pretty sure it was less the seedling dose on the bottle.
Thursday I put a sprayer with some mist heads in the bucket. Hitting the pots for 1min on 1 hr off (playing with it 2 he off. 45 off. 5min on). I was hand feeding from the top all week prior to this.

-this weekend Friday
Fresh water 7.5L. I went less is more on nutes. Help a brother out with this. Bottle says tea/gal-1/4 tea seedling or ml/100liter. Clonex 5-10ml/L increase with roots. So 2ml grow and bloom, 1ml micro (bottle would be closer to 2.4mls for each of the 3) 35ml clonex. Light 25% no dome. Temp around 70-77. 24/7 30-40% humidy.
The lemon cherry really stretched when I turned the light up last week with the dome on. I changed the sprayer last night to 5 min on 45 min off. And around 5am check and her leaves were wilting down. Some long roots from 1am-8am but her leaves are still a little wilted. Before I turned the water up they were all pretty much reaching up to the lights. The LC wilted first. I turned the sprayer completely off and letting the bubbles do their thing. Her steam had a lot of purple after the nutes it’s definitely less. Not enough Mg? Turned the



-can you guys let me know how I’m looking. What I can tweek.Etc. I plan on turning to 18/6 this afternoon and start transplanting some with roots into 5in pots with clay and the veg tanks that are RDWC tomorrow.
-for nutes I always ran Botinacare grow and bloom. I’d do a res change set everything. Then mix a 3 gallon bottle with the same nute mix. Leave it bubbling and add as the plants drink. How do I adjust the 3 part nutes? Just do the same thing and have that run into my control res? I know when I put everything in and pHd it. I was ~ 800ppm

Looks good keep systems running and enjoy the ride.

Thanks man. Been over a decade. I forgot how fun it is. Probably did a dozen runs back then. Closet, 125w cfls to veg. 400hps flower. 5 gal dwc and 20g tote. Trying to update things and have more automation. Once they start drinking had to keep an eye on it every day. RDWC I’ll get a little more freedom, automatic fans etc.
You mind I pick your brain? I don’t have my fans in yet. Just one little guy blowing in there. Temps hit 91 during the night. I opened the tent up to cool off. I’m switching to 18/6 in a few hours. The one in the front leaves wilted when I upped the light and then the temps jump. She’s also purple in the top of the stem. The one next to her just isn’t growing and purple stem. I can see a little root starting to pop through the rapid rooter.
thats an auto and two different female photos in the front. All autos in the back. Hand feeding that little one that looks dead in hopes. (Those are freebie autos) am I being paranoid. That steam had more purple in it before I did a water change Friday after 7 days and all fresh nutes. She was wilting like that when I turned the sprayer time up so I thought over watering and lack of phosphorus or mg Ca. Nutrients cleared a lot up. Leaves were back looking for light. Any help would be super appreciated. Not a lot of action on these boards any more like back in the day.

I have 0 experience in hydro. I start my journey about 16 years ago. I was about 17 and started to collect higher times, weed world, and other various Cannabis magazines. My experience is in soil however I would take interest in hydro because less chances of certain issues that soil provides. However I do know ph, and nutrition is the most important for hydro. Knowing when to feed and and how much some say start low and work up. Most new plants won't need much in soil for awhile yet hydro has none other than what seedling carried in.

If your having roots poke out it's because the seeking air in my opinion. Just like in soil the roots will come to surface to help plant breath. High temps are not ideal for plant veg growth when plants are small. Vent the room as you said and keep eye on them, do you use a bubbler in you hydro tank, to add air/circulation?

Sometimes we lose plants, I consider it a form of supernatural forces preventing something more serious down the road. So just know trial and error, I use note book to record any changes good or bad. Then reflect. I found this page last night and figured sense I'm growing again id partake!

Sorry I'm not much of help I trust you I'll find the answers be patient on yourself!

Good start. Remember to use something to ward off root rot, especially with the temps you're hitting. Bennies or sterile? I would recommend API's Ecofix, even with my high rez temps my roots are pristine. Best of luck.
