PO's grow questions.

Not wanting to do a full growlog yet. but i do have and will have some questions on the way.
Stone and hawk have been helpin me a bit so far (thanks bros)
question 1:
![](/forums/thumbs/g14-009/337790190-thumb_IMG_3996.jpg)
This train wreck seedling is really purple under the leaves (top of leaf is normal green)... my skunk47's and kush dont seem to be showing the same color change.
Would this be genetics or because its too cold (its in a semi cold basement and its been -30 outside for last few weeks). They all look healthy so far, just a lil weird to see so much purple on a seedling.
question 2:
Im looking for nute recommendations. Something good for vegging (moms), and maybe something for flowering. Ill be ordering in ebay so i can prob find almost anything available
Whats a good all purpose one? im guessin different nutes are needed for flowering.

question 3:
any huge advantage in ordering an aeroponic cloner machine , vs using rockwool cubes under a dome + heating pad. (with cloning gel)
Seems like the cloner machines are much more $$$, but do they really do that much better. Would the average grower do ok with rockwool cubes and a dome? (then transfer to soil once they are rooted)
Question 4:
The location of this grow is in a basement. but the upstars has many house plants. The house plants have the odd tiny flys buzzin around them (size of a fruit fly) They must be living in the soil. The plants are growing fine the fly's don't seem to bug them at all.
Should we be a worried for the other plants? Any idea what pest these are?
The owner of the house (im using the basement). bought "schultz" insect spray "contains botanical insecticide derived from the pyrethrin daisy". Do you think this spray will do much? should he spray his house plant soil with it and maybe hang some sticky fly traps so they dont go downstairs?

-Well that trainwreck went back to normal green. so thats good. Looked cool for a bit tho ![:cool: :cool:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/cool.gif)
-All the house plants have been isolated in a closet and we are using sticky traps and a insecticide . we haven't seen any in the basement area yet. so prob best we are doing this now before they spread downstairs
-I decided not to be so cheap... im ordering a ez cloner unit. ![:thumbup: :thumbup:](https://files.growery.org/smileys/thumbup.gif)
Question 5:
I bought ppm meter and ph tester (and + - ). So when it comes to water. its best i fill up a rubber maid and make sure my ppm and ph is good then just use that for watering, correct?
Any link or posts i can read more about water and water preparation ?
My well water is 640ppm's but our bottled water is like 5 ppm... Id like to know whats a normal ppm for JUST WATERING (no nutes yet). Can i mix my well water with distilled water till i get around 2-300 ppm? or is it best to keep it at low low ppm? and recommendations on a filters that i can use on my well water to lower the ppm?
Question 6:
So they are in dixie cups now..... i probably should cut small holes in the bottom of the cups so when i water it drains out and doesn't cause root rot, correct?

Does this seem right to you guys?
I can put my hand directly on the glass of my hood (600hps bulb). Its warm/semi hot. but i can leave my hand directly on the glass without it burning at all. I bought a fan to keep it all cool . but haven't even needed to instal it cuz its really not hot at all.....
I think this ipower unit maybe just has a shitty or defective bulbs? If the bulb was good it should it not be too hot to touch without a fan suckin the hot air?
I just ordered a new bulb. i hope thats what the problem is..... and not the whole ballast
The plants are doing good under it tho so far (24/0)

if it doesn't get that hot, how close can i lower it to my plants?
if its not burning my hand on the glass can i lower it super close to the girls? like would 6inches be to too close ?
keep in mind this is in a big cool basement. So its not heating up the space much at all

So i watered today with a 6.5 ph water (low low ppm) ... and checked the run off .... it was like 4.5-5 ph. So the walmart soil i grabbed (expensive stuff) was acidic im guessing.
What can I do to now? should i flush it with high ph water will that fix anything? is there anything i can do?

I flushed it good tonight.... hope it helps
I may have to take cuttings and use better soil for them. I can tell the acidy soil is hurting at least 1 of my girls, so once i get some cutts i can use a better soil

well those plants were killed
![](/forums/thumbs/g14-18/912613085-thumb_IMG_4195.jpg)
And made into a shitload of clones.....
![](/forums/thumbs/g14-18/912613269-thumb_IMG_4200.jpg)
which 15 now are fully cloned (rooted). and growing nice and healthy right now. funny how some strain root so much better then others (only 3 trainwrecks rooted, yet almost all the skunk47 rooted quick)
reason i did this was i just wanted a dozen plants for od season. It was the plan from the beginning. im more excited for outdoor season then to do a small indoor grow
now i got 15 nice healthy plants ready to be planted outside (plus some autos widows i just started from seed) . they are all currently growing indoors with my tomato, pepper, and tobacco plants.
