After reading much and spending money i dont have i have managed to turn my girlfriends aerogarden, some bagseed and my closet into what looks to be a fun little experiment.
Ive got about 2x3x6 for space surrounded with mylar. a 5 head lamp fixture (the heads are all individually positionable) with 23w 6500k cfls. a co2 tank hooked up to a soda keg full of watter (to bubble) and a fan. Fox Farm trio for nutes.
The babies just turned 2 weeks today (started from seed untill germed then put into aerospnges) and have been on 24 with no nutes yet. i also dont have a ph kit yet (tm) but i havent started adding nutes yet either (tm). i will have pictures up soon for feed back but the last 2-3 days the babes lowest little sprout leaves have been turning yellow/wilting. PH issue? im using activated carbon filtered water. Heat issue? it doesnt seem like those cfl's get too hot. i plan on starting them on 16/8 and giving them their first nutes, and phing the water tm. hopefully that will correct the problem. Also noticed the roots not lookin so good, the ones in the water look fine but the shorter ones coming out of the sponge are brown and a little burnt looking almost. any help?
Thanks so much to everyone for all the great info SICC & Home Grown Hairy, you have helped much, hopefully more. thanks y'all.
also any input on my co2 set up would be great. does it all just leak out any way? how often should i do it? should i use a fan over it? is it even worth it? thanks!
