Hello there,
About two days ago I transplanted some well rooted (reads: OVERLY well rooted) TH Seeds Bubblegum clones into their respective deep water culture buckets. They were running on zero nutes for most of their lives, but got about a ML of micro, bloom, dark energy, and supernova per gallon last week while still in the cloner. Now, in the DWC, they have approximatly 800 ppms of lucas at a rock solid 5.6 PH complimented with dark energy, supernova, and supercharger (the latter three at half strength) all at a maintained 70 *F res. temp using only RO water as a foundation.
These plants are under a 1000 watt agrosun MH for vegative growth. They exhibited some curling of the leaves when first placed under the light. I wasn't exactly sure what it was so I left them for another half day or so. Then I realized it had to be the light being too close. It was between two and a half to three feet from the tops of the clones. I just (painstakingly) moved it up to just over four feet above the tops last night. I now believe the light should not present a problem. I know its too soon to see dramatic improvement, but the plants are still looking a bit ratty. I was wondering if anyone could take a look at these shots and confirm that it was light damage, so that I shouldn't be looking for anything else. I took a peak at the roots and so far they seem unphased, with the tips beginning to push through the net baskets.
Does it look like they will heal okay?
NOTE*** the plants in the following pictures look as though they are bent over or wilting. This is not the case. If you can imagine, in the jerry rigged cloner I had the stalks were laying on their sides. Conciquently, they rooted horizontally, then bent 90* and began going vertical again. When I placed them in the DWC, the stalk obviously had to face downward, with the bulk of the plant going horizontal at nintey degrees. There are no problems with the stems, just pay attention to the foliage and gauge from that.
