Depends on what kinda paint it is. Buy a cheapo strainer and get it outta there. It might not do any harm but it will definitely not do you any good.

Don Cotyle said:I think your idea or a fan to blow air on the plants is a good idea! Keep your fan intake low on the floor and it will pick up the cooler air, also venting your hot exhaust out the door should keep yur room cooler. Have you germed any more beans? 8 total would be your optimum #, then you'll end up with 3-6 females and have a decent harvest!
Keep on Keeping on, stay safe and have fun!

FreezerBoy said:I feed from the moment they sprout. I don't know what nutes you're using. I'm using General Hydroponics FloraMicro and FloraBloom (no FloraGro). The bottle says 1/4 tsp per gallon of each in the seedling stage. Upon advice from others using DWC, I'm using them at half strength. 1/8 tsp per gallon in seedling, 1 tsp per gallon for transition to bloom. Mine still seem a bit pale but, I'm waiting on TDS and pH equipment to show up before I try a stronger concentration.
SoEx said:Hmm. Okay, maybe I'll be able to use nutes soon.
I added a second pane of glass to the reflector/hood and attached it.
Now, with the light ~13" away from the seedlings, temps in chamber are 78.5 Degrees (F). Hopefully this will make the plants happy.
eLiguL said:Just a suggestion, you might wanna lay off the nutes until your plants show signs of needed them. Its almost always better to underfeed than to overfeed.
crownedsparrow said:Soex, just read your entire thread. I'll be grabbing a seat for this one. Setup looks great, you are picking up everything quickly.
eLiguL said:800ppm(@ .5 hanna conversion) is gonna kill your plants if they are at 1 week. If your ppm meter has arrived you should find out the ppm of your tap water first. I wouldnt trust the label on your nute bottle if thats what they are suggesting. I use Blazeoneup's feeding schedule as a guideline(my girls like it a little lighter than he suggests).
Indica's
Seedlings and clones 300-400ppm 5.3-5.5 ph
early vegg 500-600ppm 5.3-5.6 ph
middle vegg 600-800ppm 5.4-5.6 ph
late vegg 800-1000ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
early flower 1000-1300ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
middle flower 1400-1600ppm 5.5-5.8 ph
late flower 1000-1100ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
ripening 300-500ppm 5.4-5.6 ph
sativa's
seedlings and clones 250-350ppm 5.3-5.5 ph
early vegg 300-500ppm 5.3-5.6 ph
middle vegg 500-700ppm 5.4-5.6 ph
late vegg 700-900ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
early flower 1000-1100ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
middle flower 1100-1300ppm 5.5-5.8 ph
late flower 800-1000ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
ripening 300-500ppm 5.4-5.6 ph
Those PPM's should include your tap waters PPM+ the PPM of your nutes.

eLiguL said:If your sitting at 150ppm then raise it to about 200ppm and bring your PH down asap(5.5 is good for them young'ins). You can slowly raise it in 50ppm incriments until you feel they getting enough nutes.
Keep a detailed log on how much nutes you are giving them at what times. It will take the guess work out next run when you start feeding them again.
Your in kind of a similiar situation as me (multi-strain in the same DWC tub) so ill give you a heads up. Different strains have different needs so its gonna be hard to keep everyone happy. Aim to keep mostly everyone happy and not just one strain. Next run you might wanna consider having separate tubs for the different strains so everyone can be happy.
