IWS help please

Post by Twisted »

Hi all good to be back on here firstly its been a while :) I will try keep this short and then any questions please just ask if I've missed anything out.

A friend if mine sold me a 25 pot iws system and told me he was going to help me however my confidence in him is slightly dwindling, he gave me a grow chart with what to mix etc but its exactly what it says on the bottle anyway.

They aint looking to great roots are still growing I have pics, they are cuttings went in nearly 2 weeks ago im using 80/20 mix the mix seemed very wet when it came out the bag and I'm having trouble with watering the pots are still very wet underneath I've been giving about 250mls of feed every 2/3 days, lights are hps I've got 2 on atm hanging as high as possible temps sitting between 25-29. If I've missed anything please ask.

Will put pictures up of the plants and schedule my mate sent me.

This grow is between me and another friend will also only be doing 1 grow a year all personal will also be using it to make rso for my father ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

What are you feeding them, how much per L?

They look like they're fucked, but they may still be finding their feet?

How old are the cuts? Were they rooted before going in them pots?

Could you not flip that setup from flood and drain to Rdwc would make for a much easier grow and less hassle if you ask me mate

Hi pal, atm giving them 0.25ml per litre of the 3 part feed 5ml of katana roots and 2ml of the silver bullet roots.

They are just under 2 weeks since I've had the cuts and yes they were in rockwool and had roots coming out.

I never do cuts always seed and normally a soil grower so I hope they are just finding their feet.

5ml and 2ml per litre??? and what is the 3 part feed???

Are you hand watering or is the system turned on?

That silver bullet is h2o2 if you're giving them 2ml per L of that ... That will be your issue. The res will only need that adding at res change and then at about 1ml per 10 litres of water. h2o2 (silver bullet) is a bleaching agent for killing bad stuff.

I no nothing of 3 part feeds, but I'd get them on some food. They'd be on straight A+B for me and at about 1 or 1.5ml/L while settling in.
