![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | After compairing the clones to the plants in the aerospring, I have placed the plants back in the clomer and placed therr clones and the mother plant in the aerospring. This was done after flushing and cleaning. I have the nutes balanced at 200 PPM. PH is at 6.0 for now and until they have had time to adjust. Both lights are on for eleven hrs. per day. I pulled the water temp down to 58F. I will have pics soon. The plants were wilted just after placing them into the aerospring. I might have had too much nutrient in the mix or I might have pulled the PH down too quickly. Regardless of the cause, the plants looked dead! So I flushed again and was a lot more careful to get it right before I placed the plants back in the aerospring. They almost instantly started to recover. Today they are standing tall again. So I will slowly start to pull the PH down, first by adding nutes and then with PH down. | ||

The plants are doing well. I'm keeping the AC unit at 60f which in turn is keeping my res temp below 65f. The new nutes still have not arrived yet. I will call them Monday and check on delivery status. At this point the plants are putting on a lot more root mass. New roots are looking very good and healthy. The larger plant has grown about two inches in the last six days. Not the explosion one would expect but I think this is because the plants are concentrating on more root mass first. The larger plant has several branches which will produce buds. Since it is so much taller and bushier than it's sisters, I am doing some slight training. I am using twisty ties and fishing wights to pull the branches down. A little crude but it works for now. I'll be back soon with pics! | ||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | looking real bushy over there. im sure the roots are loving the cool res temps.. iv been changing my water bottles more frequently which has helped my roots, and in turn the plants as well. you been waiting a long time for this order of nutes to arrive. even with ground delivery you should have had them by now. hope the company you ordered from takes care of you...

Yes the bottles will work if you do. But it is a manual fix, not an automated one. At this time I am not using the bottles as the AC unit is keeping things under control. I also find once the plants are big enough to shade the top of the tote, res temp is not as big a deal to control. | |||
