Hey bro, I'd like to see the rack flooring thing. I use the smart pots, and am tinkering with a couple things, but not really happy with any of them. Great to hear how well things are going.

Updated pictures !
Ok, here's some new pics. If you notice my one RRF's leaves are kinda curling up.
What could this be, too much water, PH, Heat, etc?
They look very healthy except for that curling of the leaves.
When I water I have been trying to get my water between 6.1 & 6.7.
I also took a picture of the simple tray I made to keep my smart pots up off the floor.
Oh ya, and they are begining to get that distinctive smell.... Mmmmmm good!
I started the AA later than the rest. Actually it germed the other day and this is it's second day above ground.
As you can see, my home made rack is very basic, but it seems t work well. I have found it easier to regulate my RH with the tray under it.
I don't know if you can tell the sex from the pics I have. The couple that appear green were when I took the plant out from under my grow light. I figured I'd give them acouple more days and then try and get better pics of them to see if we can sex them.
My Mi5 #1 is the one that the main leaves died right after it was through the ground. It looks like it may be ok now.

Nice to see things moving along, Mellow. I'm assuming you're not feeding them yet, so I'd look at temperatures being too high, the light being too close, or possibly a fan blowing too close to the plants. Have you tested the runoff pH yet? If not, next time you water place a clean bowl under your pot and test the first water to leak through. It should be very close to the pH of the water you're putting in.
Those leafs are not damaged so I dont think theres much of an issue yet when i have seen it they normally grow out of it as they get older and stronger but make sure the plants are dried out between waterings.
in soil the ph is not major i would not sweat if it went a touch above 7 but in hydro its another story
make sure your humdity is above 40% min

I have not tested the run-off yet. I will try that next. I am thinking that maybe my heater is too close. It's hard to regulate my temps, but I have been staying around 75 to 85.
My heater is right above this plant and I think this may be the cause. I have not fed them any nutes as of yet. I am gonna wait awhile for that.

That makes sense to me.
This may help if you don't have a good thermostat on your heater: http://www.wormsway.com/detail.aspx?sku=DNTC600
You could also look on ebay or do an internet search for a different thermostat that would work. I will be facing the same situation in the very near future which is why I've been looking into this.
Or, a heater with a thermostat that has an auto-shutoff: http://www.homedepot.com/Building-M...splay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053

Best of luck with them all! I'm especially rooting for the little Mi5, though, and the big one too. That's (hopefully) going to be one of my next plants.

That is great. It's really nice to see the whole procedure from the start to the end.
