Started first grow

[HydroPL]

So i began my first grow two days ago, lil mary is poppin up fairly quick.
Im using a pc grow box and DWC setup.
Using General Hydroponics nutes.
Have yet to buy a pH measuring device.
Anyone with a similar setup I would love to get your input, some tips&tricks, all help appreciated!

Never feed your plants anything but Ph adjusted water....5.5-65.ph and make sure your grow box doesn't get to hot.

Thanks! Yea, after many people telling me not to because its a very common way people kill their plants when theyre young, i decided to add some lol. Im using GH nutrients so i used their chart they have on their website and added a little less than they recommend. It seems to be doing just fine. and yea, they are growing like crazy haha! every day or two there is a new set of leaves =D

How do you fit eight bulbs in there? Can you post a pic of your lights?

Nice progress, those babies are growing fast!

that looks like over watering but in dwc its proly res temp use frozen liter bottles keep that res at 68 -70 degrees ( for a cheap temp on a res l ues a meat thermometer) and either cut them nutes in half or use the lucas forula the GH nutes line is way to strong by their schedule (but then again if i was selling it I would want you to use that much too lol) here check this out

hay also i just learnd that if the salts out side the roots is higher than inside the plant will put out water through the roots to try and dilute the salts so if you added GH buy the schedule its proly that they look over watered when this happens
