stu914 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Quite critical this stage bud, make sure there is a decent air gap between the bottom of the pots and surface of the nutes, I usually allow about 4" then handwater from the top until the roots are down into the nutes, too close and you risk the chance of drowning them. Nutes temps need to be between 18c and 21c for best results and lessen chances of root rot. I usually allow a couple of weeks from germination before starting feeding, about 1/4 strength what they recommend and work up from there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idiot At Large Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 At the minute theres a root coming down into a small pool of run off water contained within the heated prop and theres a small gap between that and the bottom of the pot however theres no way of air getting to the roots from below due to the outer pot sitting in the water... Don't have any way of having them in the nutes without having them under the 400w HPS. What would you recommend? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu914 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'm guessing you have the mesh inside a solid pot, if so keep a close eye on them and you'll find the roots will start to fill that space, they will probably only need one watering a day until they get a bit bigger, try not to leave too much water sitting underneath. Now we wait......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot At Large Posted March 4, 2018 Author Share Posted March 4, 2018 @stu914 yeah theres a solid pot on the outside of the mesh pot and since that initial root there is now approx 6 little strands coming down... will keep an eye on it and as soon as there is enough nodes I will get them in their final homes and then the fun really begins. @botanics cheers man appreciate the encouragement its been a bumpy road getting here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really pleased the method works for you, I struggled for ages trying to get a decent rootballl in pebbles before hitting on this idea, first time I left it too long without checking, come the time there was a massive coil of roots underneath, but then roots = shoots = buds... Where there's a will and all that.......... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot At Large Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 So yesterday started getting a brownish colour on the leaves which has gotten worse... Also the round leaves on the other plant are almost completely yellow. Will trawl the forum later on to find out what the issue is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idiot At Large Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Its still in the cupboard theyre nowhere near ready to go in the bubbler yet. The leaves were as they are in the pic with the edges pointed downwards however today it is curled upwards they look like theyre drying out, had a look and looks like phosperous deficiency which was no help as it could be bad pH, too much water, too little water! The roots aren't milky white anymore either and I'm unable to check root temp however room temp never drops below 19°. Gunna try some fresh pH water and see how they go over the next few days. @stu914 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinafem-Mark Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Now this is a strange one. With the plant being so young it could be many factors. By giving ph,d water this will eliminate the ph issue and I don't think it is a nutrient issue due to the age. What lighting is she under mate?
