come on Namvet, hydro is nice! a bit more labor intensive, but can produce some incredible results, and it allows for very precise control over the growth of the plants
 
just a thought but what Led lighting are you using? If its a cheap lamp your plants prob arent getting anywhere near enough light. Perhaps try adding a couple of compact flourescents close to them and see whether they perk up. If they start growing tidy then you need more light. What light schedule are you running them on? Ive got 3 think different at 5 days old right now in oxypots under a T5 and a couple of extra CFLs. Have still to make final decision on what kinda lighting I will take them through flower with.

hi got em under a prosource 180w led and theres a blue spectrum 250 cfl on the side lookin after my photo's so i think theyve got enough light i think i must have stressed em out somewhere along the line gonna do a nute change tmoro and get em back to basics
 
Hi Will,

Hydro vs soil is a subject that can divide opinion. I would say that soil is perhaps easier and requires less attention - just water a couple of times a week. Hydro can give faster growth and heavier yields in the right hands, but the very best hydro growers tend to have a lot of experience in understanding the various elements of nutrient regime, AND they very often are checking things like pH and EC on a daily basis. Lets hope you get things on track soon - good luck man

Hi tony thanks for the tips and words of encouragement i found out yesterday that my EC meter was reading 0.3 under so for the grow so far i have been overfeeding them by a third so i have been flushing them out for the last 24 hrs with plain water and have just given them some canna aqua veg and rhizotonic at an EC of1.08 and ph 5.9 so i will check them every day and see what happens i aint gonna give up on these plants cos ive got faith in think different and dutch passion and wanna see what i can get on a bad grow if thats what this turns out to be as ive said this is my first grow of autos and i wantr to be able to convert to them completely photo's are great but runnin 2 hydro grow rooms can be a real hassle thanks again tony will post some more pics on saturday
 
Hi Will, having just gone through the pains of growing my TD I can tell you that something is not right with your girls, they are very small and stunted....if they were mine I would rip em out and start again. @ 25 days they should be much much bigger and larger leaves etc. I disagree with the other comments here, they do not look good they look sick.
People need to stop blowing smoke up ppls arse when commenting and tell it like it is otherwise nobody would learn anything. I unfortunately have lost the pics of my Think Different but I have borrowed this pic from Seymour (I bet you have already looked yourself :) it is at day 27, I myself was under a 250 watt hps in 20l of organic soil and my TD was exactly the same as Seymours at day 27...maybe a lil smaller but not much, and that was using water that was ph 7.2!!!! This was to be my downfall and at week 6 things started to go tits up. Lesson learnt...ph adjust your tap water :P

But it goes to show...even with a high ph from day one I still was able to replicate seymours grow size wise at day 27, this is why I think there must be something major going on, Its your choice on what you do but if it were me I would cut my losses and start again...its only a month.
Somebody with more experience may say otherwise...hopefully the team from DP chime in and offer some advice.
Best of luck buddy and sorry to rain on your parade, I may be wrong...but going on seymours and my results Its not hard to see somethings up:confused:

Edit: Found a pic of my TD @ day 30, so only 5 days older...big difference right! Just re-emphasizes the fact that something is not right.

Hi nineweeks have finally had to admit defeat once these plants were stressed there was no goin back even now theyre only 6 inches tall but with about 8 nodes so they are destined for the chop but at least i had 3 more seeds left an i'll have another go with them 1 will be in soil the other 2 in dwc under leds and cfl will post some pics soon
