Appreciate the feedback!
Will look into it for sure, but have a plan how my setup will become eventually. Right now I’m all “proof of concept” ‘ish 
What are the specs on that bad boy? Can we get some pics of it? Sorry I’m a led array junkie. I always enjoy see others work and how they chose to design them

Hey Dave,
The build consist of 50w cob which cost 2$ incl. shipping, basic intel cpu fans around 6$ each, and a aluminum square frame which I got for free 
It runs quite cool, but my grow room went from 18C to 29C so the next step are two fans in, and out of the grow room.

Some more pictures of the issue I’m experiencing.
Will of cause provide more if needed.
All help is greatly appreciated. I had plans to set her in 12/12, but I guess I should fix this first.

Water with little nutes for the last month (been away)
I haven’t measured the soil ph yet. Will get the equipment needed in a few days.
Been browsing through several litterateur which only made me more uncertain of what I should do…
I say feed it and see what happens. To me it looks like its starving and starting to eat itself. It appears to be yellowing from the inside out, older leafs to new growth.

I did a flush and added nutes today. Will feed her tomorrow before work, and again after work. I think she might be hungry
That may be too much lol. Slow and steady wins the race. What nutrients are you using

That seems like a pretty light fertilizer. What country are you in? They may help figure what nutrients are available to you.
Personally I use living soil and dry amendments, but to each their own. You’ll still want a fertilizer with a higher P content for flower, salt based on not.

Yeah, way too light. I’m browsing different brands now and will order a few products nifty to have available as my plants develop.
I have 8 x 4 week old cuttings sitting in hydroponic that need to be dealt with soonish. Haven’t decided what to do with them yet.
I might go coco and drip system as I have most of the equipment at hand already, but i realt wanna test out hydroponic all the way
I’ll keep updating as i progress

Small update:
My seedlings are stretching and seem happy
Had a huge “duuuh!” Moment when I realized that they have grown out of the aeroponic home they had, so the roots have been thriving a weee bit too much. Transplanting them now requires some heavy creative solutions:p
No idea how to move them to individual containers right now. Anyone with a smart / healthy solution to this problem?

Hi guys,
So, I’ve flushed the mother now with tap water.
The ph looks alright (I hope)
Now I’m a bit unsure what to do next, so I hope someone can give me some tips.
- I’m flushing because there have developed an clear magnesium deficiency.
- The tap water is within limits.
- The run off ph seems within limits.
Now what?
I have organic fertilizer NPK 3-0,3-1 and epsom salt ready (can I add some extra fertilizer since it’s a very light type?)
I’m thinking to make a solution to feed her:
- tap water
- Organic fertilizer
- (Hydrogen peroxide? For oxygen)
I also have a small amount of “Root!t, first feed
Appreciate every bit of help on this dark dark scary days of “crap…”
Edit:
I also are curious in regards of extraordinary temperature, light and humidity which might hjelp in the recovery process?
