im growing in hydroton in a Rainforest 66 (6 x 6" sites) eventually but right now just trying to keep them alive in this tray by handwatering n leaving some water in the bottom.
so what should i do as the yellowing hasn't improving?
up the feeding to a full tsp per gal?
thanks jiffa
wanna make this grow turn out well
just gotta find the ladies

they are hungry and i doubt they have many roots . not sure on your system but cant you go into 3in rockwool
they wont last long like that . upping the feed will help the yellowing but if they aint got much root
they need a new home

its a hexagon with a humidifer pump in the center to give super oxygenated water to the roots.
some are more developed than others,
some branched right away and are bunched int he bottom of the holes the plugs sits in, and others are long and are branching now that they are long and in the water
should i turn to 12/12 since this is my first time and see what they are, so they dont die while theyre in here?
why hasnt the feed i gave them worked yet?
thanks alot

dont go 12/12 unless they are healthy
how long do you plan on keeping them , before they go in the system ?
if you keep them how they are they will die .
have they got many roots ?

you're right, thanks
i hope they get better
idl what to put them in until they show sex.
what do you suggest?
i'm starting up hydro right now, and im going to keep a mother
i'd like to be able harvest 6 females and keep the best one of the bunch as a mother
should i buy like 15x2' net pots and put them in those in a home-made rubbermade w/ the sprayer from the rainforest?
i think thatd be best but idk. i'd rather save the money and work but i think thats being much too asking.
spring for the net pots?

no your getting there knock up something to house them . they will thank you by being , big , green and healthy when you need them
up the feed until you do

i thought 2' pots would leave room for the roots to grow and would be easy to transplant once i know sex since i wouldnt need hydroton, and thats what i wanted.
what do you suggest for housing them jiffa?
jiffa
Nov 21 2008, 09:21 AM
housing ? in which way

alright then. i didnt wanna do it because i only need it this once since im starting w/ seedling as i dont have any way of getting quality clones
cant be that much though
worth it for the end result, as ive already put 1500 usd into these little dying fookers

how long you got left on the others
why dont you start making mothers out of them ?
just put into compost , depending how long you got left they might have cutting on them
JuGGLiNJuGGaLo
Nov 21 2008, 09:35 AM
im not quite sure what you mean by that jiffa
you think i could take cuttings from my young plants?
no way i could get female cuttings
and im not sure htese are female yet, so cloning doesnt solve the problem
unless i turnt o 12/12 soon, but you said not a good idea.
what do you ythink would happen?
once i saw sex id immediatly pick my mother and the rest and begin that process
im unsure

you have 2 rooms ,right ?
an areoponic system that has plants in already ?

i might be confused here
JuGGLiNJuGGaLo

no, just one room. not even assembled yet, but pprobably tomorrow i'll be on that, including making it light proof as i didnt w/ the cupboard (on 24/7)
im begginning my hydroponic adventure now. these guys are in a cupboard with lights on em until they get big enough to 12/12 / show sex and then ill keep one as a mother for a a year round sensi crop, and then im set w/ just enoguh for myself.

because theres only 6x 6" pots and holes, where i'll veg/flower my females, but theres isn't enough room to grow them out there, unless i double them up and the roots would tangle. so i figured 12/12 early so i dont need a whole other system just to grow males ill never use. since u cant put a soil cutting in hydro as it isnt pure. so what do i do..? i could get netpots and put them in a RubberMaid plastic tub and grow them all out there aeroponically, and ditch the tub afterwards as id have no use. so id really like to preflower some plants dso i dont have more work and money as money is tight, im not lazy as my mother has said so many times.
