New Grower 1st hydro grow

[ManWithWrench]

I don't have any experience with hydro but maybe try some Brawndo. "It's got electrolytes, what plants crave."

The plant is growing, and looks healthy now. You have known it was gonna be small for a bit now, so I would stay the course. Up to you though. But I think you are learning a lot for the next grow.

It's gonna take off. Just let it do it's thing. I grow hydro and once that flatten looking root hit the water they take off. One of the worst things for roots is light. Patience my friend.

true i hope not that small its like 3in. i know size doesnt matter but shitttttt lol we will see illnkeep pushing. how can i tell when to switchh to flower think shell stretch lol

Yes, she will stretch over the frost two weeks of flower. I would try to encourage more growth by push veg nutes as long as possible before switching though, maybe next weekly reservoir change.

i dont change until sunday so sinday ill go bloom. what screws me everytime is getting it from seedling in rockwool to taproot into rez i either overwater or under. thats where i screw up

alkost gotnmy closest built 4ftx4ftx6ft. gomma keep my tent inside with all the nutes basement isnalways 50% humid with dehumidifier and never hotter then 77. so next grow will be better

Hey JT, I think a couple things come to mind for next time. The first is limit the handling of the seed in the rockwool, or whatever starter you use. The second is limiting the number of times you are pulling the net cup out of the water, and exposing to light. And the third is to get a consistent schedule for top watering until the roots are established, those are all easily corrected. Your next grow will start so much better!

well i noticed at 75f it lasted about 2 days before it was dry above that and it dried out daily. i may alsongrab bigger rockwool cubs because the ones inhave are the 1inch cylinders and they dont hold a lot of water

If you are going to switch, I would recommend using rapid rooters or root root cubes instead. Not as finicky as Rockwool in my opinion. No need to ph the medium, and itmanages moisture much better. This is my opinion, but your experience reminded me how much easier things became when I made that switch while in DWC.
