Hey Standupp,

Just stumbled across this grow today while looking for some inspiration for my next stealth grow....and i wanna say FANTASTIC job on getting that plant to not only survive a transplant from outdoor soil to indoor hydro, but to produce what looks like will be some satisfyingly dank buds...

i failed epically when i tried to do just that same transplant.

cant wait to see how this lovely lady turns out!

wow looking great. i didnt kno u transplanted from outdoor soil to hydro(haven't read the whole thread tho). and assuming you still have your plant under the 125 CFl it's looking awsome!! +rep for this one you deserve it

Gracias, gracias, i was pretty skeptical about the idea, but i didn't wanna wait for a seed to germinate to begin my hydro adventure, as you will. Im very surprised she survived.

Hey guys, i have yet to change the res for this week. there is about 2-3 inches of res left and she is drinking fast. Yesterday i added 1 tsp of bloom nutes, just to see how she reacts. This got me to the question of how much she can hold. If any of you have experience with Botanicare nutes in hydro, and how much plants can take (i know it varies from straint) how much nutes (in ppm)would you say a plant my size can take now? The highest ive hit is 780, and she didnt seem to mind. Ive seen on other jornals people run 1300, 1500 ppm, but thats not botanicare alone. Btw, my city water runs at 150ppm

Question: the tips of some bigger fan leaves are curling down... i look at all the plant diagnostic charts and nothing shows what curling tips is a result of. Anyone know?

Heat I think it is... Mine are doing the same thing, I wouldn't stress it to much but I'd be curious to what is causing it.

Its been a week. the roots have grown 2 inches from the bottom of the net pot. Should i start lowering the res water level? Looks green and happy to me with the water level touching the bottom of the net pot, but ive heard when the roots get bigger they must not be submerged all the way, hence lowering the res. water level. Is this true?

Temp 85
pH 6
ppm 260

I didnt lower my res water until I had more roots than that. Just wait untill your first reservoir change to lower your water..I'm growing White Russian and they didnt like a PPM of 500 or higher after the first week. I lowered the PPM to 400-450 and they seemed to be okay with that. If your PPM is going up that means you over nuted your plants and they are drinking more water and not the nutrients. My plants have been in their reservoir for 17 days now and the PPM is at 530-550 mark now.

It might be over watering from your PPM being too high. The plants tend to suck up more water than they do nutrients.. Try to maintain a PH level of 5.8-5.9 do that and your plants will be able to intake the most amount of nutes they can.

Well today i decided to do an early res change while watching my Cowboys play. Tomorrow will be Flowering Week 5
---------------------

Yesterday i got my hydroplex from the hydro shop for nearly $30.00, kinda steep imo.

Anyways, this is my current soup formula:
Botanicare Pro Bloom- 5tsp (25ml)
Botanicare Hydroplex- 2tsp (10ml)

Current ppm is 580
pH 5.8
Temp 84
