Grow #2 - Indoor hydro tent

I put here right in front of a little fan, maybe that will help. I'm going to try anyhow. But real gentle air flow.

That bottom picture is cute, like a miniature sprout. 😀

Yes, lots of air in the buckets. Each bucket has 2 stones, connected to a good pump. I should not have been top watering so much. I nearly killed one of my first sprouts that way. A smarter man would have learned the first time.

I have some indirect airflow going in the tent. For now I'm not touching her for a couple of days.

Nice experiment Nate.
I like your Nemo gimpy little guy.
keep ups the good work. It’s a few pages ago, But I also have that tent. It’s a good one, that lag bolts, super smart.

What have your temps been like in there? Have you checked? Especially around the bucket area. Without active cooling in there, they really slow down at 75f

I've got a big aquarium cooler sitting around still, if I get the itch again to do this.

Been keeping it at 80F for the sprouting. As soon as that Blueberry sprout gets some legs under her, I'll turn it down to 75F. I'm running anti-fungal in the DWC, so not too worried about 75 creating root-rot. I'll start watching humidity vs leaf temperature soon and try to keep in the correct range to optimize VPD.

More roots!

and some tiny new growth for Blueberry; she is giving me hope.

Fired my ultrasonic humidifier up and got nothing but air. Took it all apart, cleaned everything and reassembled... and it works fine once again.

I wonder where these 4 extra screws came from.

White Widow cracking along like a weed.

Blueberry still showing some hope for recovery:

When do you ramp your nutrients up? I'm at 150 now, thinking White Widow will be ready for a bit more food soon.

Losing hope for Blueberry. I think I'm just a crime-scene photographer now....

Question for anyone still awake: If I'm ready to give up on Blueberry, can I get away with starting a new sprout at this stage? I think it would just result in the first plant getting a longer vegetation period. Would that work OK? Neither seed would be auto-flower.

I think Blueberry is still alive.

I gently emptied the basket, being careful not to yank anything, especially any potential roots, and found this. If she is really still alive, she'll make it to the water soon. I repositioned here back in the basked with maybe 1" of pebbles underneath. RW is still damp, as are the pebbles.

I added 1ml each A/B/SolidStart of GSN to White Widows res, bringing the PPM up to 190; pH is 5.8

I count 4+ nodes, planning to top her at 6 nodes.

Yup stunted but if not overwatered should make it back into the game.

Blueberry has one tiny root poking out the bottom of the basket. There is less than 1" between the basket and the water, so she'll be drinking soon.
There is a little visible improvement in health, maybe:

White Widow was 5.8/195 yesterday, down to 5.8/155 today. I think she wants more food. 😁 😎 🍰

Now we're talking progress; Blueberry roots growing!!
1597876673158


I gave WW 2ml of each nutrient last night, 5.75 pH / 240 PPM, with no significant change to the readings today.

I need to start tracking my water utilization rate in the res pretty soon.
 
#57
Blueberry is definitely starting to revive! Her tiny roots are just mm away from the res water...

5 nodes now on WW:
