Once again I had algae in the res. I flushed the system and replaced the water and nutes.

Added 2 TBS H2o2

Ph 5.5

The three plants which I placed in the bubbler at 100 PPM now have roots showing and new growth starting.

I will start germinating more seeds tonight. I want to fill all grow spots in the bubbler with either sprouts or clones.

The plan is to always be ready to go directly from the veg stage to the flower stage.

I turned off the MH light to save on the electric bill...

I'm sure the 400 W. HPS will suffice long enough to see if this plant is ever going to grow. If not I will replace it as soon as the sprouts are ready.

You seem to be having lots of problems with bacterial cultures. Might want to think about regularly adding a preventative measure. Try Hygrozyme Grozyme, or Plantacillin. I'd try a small bottle of plantacillin for starts. Its cheaper not sure if its as effective as grozyme but it does coat the roots.

Thanks vpur I may have to resort to something like that, in fact I was thinking about it already but didn't know what to use. In the past it seems the 35% H2o2 killed the bacteria. I haven't been using it religiously, maybe I should.

The three plants which were smaller and moved to the bubbler now have roots started and are growing slowly, which is what I want at present.

I moved the larger plant from the Aerospring to the bubbler tonight. I'm tired of burning a 400 W bulb for one plant which is just sitting there. If it starts new roots and wants to grow I''ll put it back in with the other plants when they are ready to go into the Aerospring.

I have repositioned all plants to the back row of the bubbler. I have 20 spots available in the bubbler and am using nine at present.

Ph 6.3.....pulled it down to 5.5.

Them

The new sprouts and old plants are both doing well at this point.

I placed seven or eight newly cracked seedlings in the bubbler today.

Todays Ph is 5.9

The crop seems to be weathering the cold weather, the little heater keeps the room above freezing.

I will have ten plants ready to go into the Aerospring soon. In the mean time I will totally clean the Aerospring and have it ready when the time comes.

Them

The small plants which went into the Aerospring first are all doing a lot better. They all have new roots and new growth.

The new sprouts are doing OK as well.

Ph is 5.9

vpur

Thats a good ph to be at. For sprouts Im 5.9 -6.2. Veggin 5.7-6.1. Flower 5.4-5.8. Of course you'll find what works, but it seems I had problems with sprouts/clones when ph was below 5.8. Just thought I'd add that.happy growing

Hey vpur, it's good to here from you. Did Santa come to see you?

I topped the four plants in the bubbler. This gives me four topped plants, four clones and four sprouts... The sprouts all have roots starting to come from the rock wool.

All plants look healthy and green. 100 PPM seems to be a good nute level for this application.

Ph is drifting up slowly. Started at 5.5 several days ago, today it's 5.9....

More later

Them

The new clones are looking good. The humidity domes are working well.

The newly topped plants are also looking good. New growth is coming in slowly which is to be expected under these conditions.

The sprouts are coming along slowly as well. New growth is starting with the sprouts and the stems are strengthening up to carry the tremendous load which is undoubtedly expected in the days to come.

Ph is 6.2...
