Thats a nice setup. I assume it will be drip correct? Which of the seedlings pop'd? Was it distilled water or fert? I have never used any chemicals on seedlings, I'm anxious to find out how it goes.
Powder hydro nutes always scare me... Just to be safe, put your pump inside a pair of pantyhose to act as a prefilter.
Anyway, keep it up.

Yup, cement mixing trays from home depot. You can get them for about 5$ in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. While you're there, you can grab 'through fittings' to attach a hose to the bottom of the tub as a drain to the rez.

I personally like to run 24/0 as long as heat isn't a problem. The plants will grow a bit faster under 24/0 than 18/6 but its all a matter of circumstance.

Wait, did I read correctly? Did you say you were giving them just plain water?
Quote:
Thus far I have been providing just water alone.
Plain water alone cannot support plant growth. I am very surprised they even lived. Your babies require nutrients to grow, not light alone. I use a very dilute solution of nutrients even with my seedlings. The last pictures you posted are evidence of this. Your plants have extremely small leaves for their size; my leaves are usually at least 3"-4" by the 2nd or 3rd node.
I think you said you had nutrients now though so hopefully they will be looking better. Keep us updated!

From GH I really like their FloraNOVA series. It is two part, grow and bloom, and it does a fantastic job without any additives or supplements. Lately I've been leaning towards the Advanced Nutrients line as they are the only company that boldly states they test and design their products for marijuana. Either way, you need nutrients as soon as possible. The yellowing of your leaves and the general stunted growth is defintly due to the lack of essential minerals and organic compounds. Best of luck!

A fine mist sounds about right. I like to do it about 20 min before the lights go out so the water can't lead to light burns.I also try not to foliar feed very often, maybe once every third grow.

I don't know about increasing mold susceptibility considering these plants are in veg, maybe in flower. HPS lights achieve full intensity so quickly that the water doesn't have enough time to evaporate before the light can burn them if you water in the beginning of the light cycle, outdoors is a different matter entirely though. But don't take my word for it, to each their own.

Nice! You and your plants will love that light. I love the ironing board light hanger, you could try a shower curtain bar, they are cheap and effective. Do you every use any photo editing software? You can fix the problem with the orange tint in photoshop quite easily, or your camera might have a white balance option that you could try.

My one problem with the floranova line is Mg deficiencies. Try adding a bit of cal-mag and I bet it clears right up.
Your plants are looking amazing! Those girls are going to get fat.

Wow! ![:eek: :eek:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/eek.gif)
Fantastic! Very impressive first harvest. I love the purple leaf but It may be indicative of some type of disorder...
