funny you mentioned that about the PH. i lowered it yesterday before seeing your comment. it went up over night a little but probably cause my EC is not on.

i have both meters and i calculated 525-111ppm. I'm guessing that's wrong... tomorrow I'll mix a new batch of nutes. would you recommend to start at 600+111ppm?

I suggest you lower your room temperature to 23-25C mabey for the moment less light so you get less heat!

Your water temp should be lowered to 18-19C !
Use Nitric acid or citric acid(lemon juice) in veg instead of sulfuric acid!

Use more rootstimulator like 10ml instead of 2ml!
Your airpump is way to small its only 1,5l/min and it need to be min 9l/min!

Goodluck on the grow!: Like Weed:

thanks for the tips! about the acid, i made a false translation, what i have been using is nitric acid

to lower the temps of the water, i got a fan blowing on the bucket with a humidifier blowing in the way.

I got the res temp down to 19C and the room at 24C. I try and keep the PH at 5.6 and have raised the ppm to 680 (including tap).

SHE STILL ISNT BUDGING!!!

What I have noticed is that she is starting to make a tiny flower on the top. The roots seem to be doing fine and they keep growing, but that's about it.
Check out the pics and let me know what you guys think.

Is it possible that the nutrients are not good for this setup? I'm starting to lean towards that problem, maybe something beneficial is missing for the plant. Does anyone know more about Hy-Pro Nutrients? It's what the guy at the hydro swore to me by, but I'm not buying it anymore.

Is the green algae in the first picture a concerning problem?

Hey sharkherra i love what you got going on. Im no expert at all but ive noticed 2 little things that might help.:Sharing One: The first is that your LED might be too close, they need A LOT of space compared to CFL's and HIDs and even t5s. Its mostly due to the intensity of the diode and the angle of the lens (if any). :smoke: The other thing would be you might wanna get a way bigger air pump, more bubbles will keep ripping all the slime and gross stuff off your roots. Like i said, im not expert but i went through both these issues my first LED/DWC grow. Keep it up!:karma Cloud:

How how your in need of some Dr green soylent!
Sorry to say But I believe that your big bud dreams for this plant is gone!( doenst mean you can finish this plant but it to stunned and to far into action to give decent yield)
The stuff in your netpot looks horrible, all that green slime and stuff!
I recommend to use mineral based nutes and not organic!
Also start with clean clay pebbles in your pot ( new out of bag) if you start a new grow and clean everything out with peroxide!
You NEED a bigger Airpump( otherwise your roots rot due to the lack of oxygen!)

Best of luck!
