Super Noob Need help first grow

Do you think that light is at a good height ...?
i just tested the flushed water and bloody hell the EC was at 2.2 and 2.4 odd because in the res it was 2.0 anyway im going to keep flushing till its at least 1.0EC

You need your humidity up in your veg room.High like in the 70s or so if possible .TAKE THE FAN OFF OF THE BABY PLANTS..you will dehydrate them and turn them yellow..ease up on the nutes.
Ive never grown in coco before but its my understanding it is passive hydro..in other words you pour your nutes into the coco and the plant drinks from that no need for a drop system.
My suggestion would be to go get some good dirt and plant into them until you get the feel of things and some more experience under your belt.(read up on dirt growing in subcools old school organics.)
Im not sure who told you humidity levels in the bud room should be at 30% but you will screw up your plants at that humidity level..yea in bloom you will get increased resin production at 30% humidity but you will also get very poor bud formation.50% is right around where you want to keep a bud room.
Get the medical marijuana growers bible and have it around for reference.Nothing in it is written in stone but it will give you a reference manual and some sort of basis for a starting point.
From the looks of your seedlings you have multiple problems..one of witch is a fan blowing right on those babys.The other is over watering in coco.the other is low humidity.
There are several good dirt and organic growers around RIU.Go look and read their blogs.Good luck

get a flouro at least within a foot of the plant, but also not too close.


so is this SOIL (organic matter broken down into dirt, mixed with some stuff like maybe a little coco, perlite, whatever)

Coco (straight coco coir, harvested from coconuts, washed bla bla bla

or what ???
you need to be specific what type of coco did you use? you keep saying its coco, soil, perlite, and clay pebbles on top.. so it's going to effect what pH you need to give it if it's actually soil with some coco(6.5), instead of straight coco which is 5.8

when you get your seeds really just go follow what someone else did for their drip setup, same brands of stuff and so on, it's great u got the coco specific nutes.

at the stage those clones are at now you may be better off getting a couple more going while you wait on your order, to practice for the germination

Lights at a fine height. Dont worry dude, that light is still huge for those little sprouts. Theres a popular misconception alot of growers have that if your light isnt pessed up against your plants or 1000 watts that the plant will die. It wont. Just get those ppms down and hold on tight

thats all im using oh and them clay rocks sadly i cant start anymore till the seeds come and my brother dose not have anymore clones
im going to flush two more times today try get that ppm level down then add the new fresh water

Drop me a personal message and let me know how their doing in a couple days.

just did another flush and took some photos that little one is really looking sorry for it selfs do you think it will be ok to let the soil dry out a bit ? before i start the fresh water ???

Will do mate thanks for all the help

yeah treat them carefully you don't want them over watered

Cool ill leave them for two days and see how they go the hard part is not wanting to look at them every bloody minute got time off work so it makes it hard but time will tell i just hope they recover even if i get a couple of zips ill be happy but they have had a hard start to there life ill just let them flower for longer hope the seeds come today

be sure the heat from the bulb doesn't dry the top of the coir, that can happen when the roots aren't down in the pot yet and kill it too just saying don't just not look at it, if you're worried stick your finger in

nice products

WAIT!!!!!!!!!!! Did you get a shaman?

haha i wish top of soil is still wet ill wait till its about 2 inchs dry from the top before i run the new water my brother thinks i should of just kept it under the 600 just moved it up think they will recover fast but then again i don't want to lesson to him anymore as his a clown what do you think CFL130w or 600HPS

rooms running heaps cooler now its at 22-24 degrees 75.2 Fahrenheit when i had the 600 running it would be around 28-30 degrees - 82.4 Fahrenheit

Well one of the plants has started to make a turn around the bubblegum on the other hand looks bloody dead so i took it out and just running with the one for now letting th coco soil dry out for the next 2 days then i am going to run with the new filtered water that is 0.4 and start the A&B at 1/4 for the first week and see how they look it and start moving my way up also got my self some PH down today going to take the level down to a 6.4

going to Veg for 6 weeks then let flower for another 8

wish me luck ill post photos as it comes



So is the full plan
i am going to let it dry out over the next two days then run with the new filtered water that is a EC 0.4 once i mix the A&B and the Root booster i am going to take it to 0.6 see how it takes to that for a week

then slower move it up to run on about 1.0 for about 5 weeks

once the veg is over i was going to move the ec to about 1.2 for the flowering stage

Also just going to do a mix in a tub and hand water going to take the PH to 6.4 and EC to 0.6 one week run

drain to waste

Okay this is the lone survivor what do you think ... ? happy one recovered going to let it Veg for another 2 weeks

also just got my Seeds

Not for nothing but if your brother is getting a Lb. off 2 plants he must be doing something right .....Just sayin
