I picked up this water farm expecting to learn a little bit about some hydroponics. Well i know that i am running into some issues with my setup and am wondering if i can obtain some advice. My plant is right around 30 days and has not shown any budding etc. Just might need a little help to get her back on track. Growing one plant and using the general hydroponics nutes that came with the complete kit and following the instructions on the bottles but i am feeding lighter since they are autoflowers. Maybe i am missing something. I got nice looking roots in the bottom. Just need someone to hold my hand lol
 
Hello akito :D Get us some pictures of your plant so we can have a look at her condition...

Any stats on your nutes? If so could you provide some details regarding their content? What light cycle are you using?
 
Heres some pics of my progress. Lights are Blackstar LED on a 20/4. Change water every 7-10 Days. pH 5.5-6.0. Distilled Water. PPM around 300-400.

She does look a bit behind for 30days, but nice and lush :thumbs: so stick with it, don't get complacent and feed her a ton of nutes just yet- keep it low like you have so far.. and get a second opinion bro, i'm sure the others will chip' in on this one. Sometimes plants like that are just about to explode on you to get beyond the veg phase. pH is fine for your system and your ppm's are modest, i'd keep it that way for and watch her carefully. What's your feeding regimen? Are you supplementing calcium and magnesium akito? What's the specifications of those formulations? I don't think i'm familiar with them..
 
Ok. accidentally did that over feed before i read the post. Now she has a couple burns which i expected but now the leaves are starting to twist but she is showing a very small amounts of hairs. The size has yet to keep growing but i did take some measurements of the res change. My pH was 5.5-5.7 and my PPM was about 100. I am filling this next one with about 400ppm but im gonna favor the flower nutes some more. I did add some foil to the top of the unit and some to change the drip locations to see if it helps. I did also read to use a airstone in the res which i am thinking about.
