They won't be needed for long, just till the roots hit the water. Roots are already coming out of the rapid rooters.

The seeds are growing like a house on fire. The cheezy lights are working fine.

Day 11. A couple more days, they are doing very well. pH continues around 5.95, ppm 812. For some seedlings that are supposed to be sativa dominant, those are some fat leaves and squatty plants. Green crack on the top, Chemdog on the bottom.

Interesting, Ppm is actually going up over time, 822 today. I think its due to water evaporating; I don't fill but every few days. Babies continuing to look great.

i already knew the answer to my question yesterday,yur too high on 812.i can tell from the viens n yur leaves,and also theres just no way you can b that high on ppm yet.the reason its dropping is because there choosing to drink just water(cuz 812 is too high)which makes yur ppms go up cause if u remove water from yur mix its a higher concentrate of nutes per/gal.drop them ppms down to 375 trust me...u keep bumping up 100 each wk till u get a drop of 15-30ppm overnite.this lets u kno u r diald n.650ish is relativly high n dwc n veg.n u may find yurself more round 500ish with yur light.

Hmmm. Don't know what to think. My mix is a light mix of general hydroponics trio (1 tsp to the gallon of each), which is less than half strength. I think you may be mistaking the arc of the leaves for drooping, cuz they definitely aren't drooping. Leaf rigor and color is excellent, and growth is rapid. The color is a little off in the photo's, because I have to use the overhead light. They look pretty healthy to me, and again, are growing rapidly.

Who do you like for nutes? I get what you're saying about listening to the plant as opposed to pushing nutes. I'm running 1/3 strength of the GH full strength vegging mix right now, and the plants seem to be liking that. Next time I change the reservoir, I'll experiment with what it takes to get to the ppm you're talking about. That will come up soon. Remember that my water is 200 ppm to begin with.

I don't see the red/purple you're seeing. But I'm red green colorblind.
