Another week and more yellowing but also more bud ripening. As noticed last week, the Sweet Zombie is doing far better under the overighting situation than is the Gorilla Glue/White Widow. The Zombie leaves continue to yellow around the edge and curl but at nowhere near the rate of the GG/WW. This week I decided to try and do something about all the little buds below the canopy. It's impossible to trim the canopy and free light to penetrate lower because the canopy top is above the door opening. With such a thick canopy, I thought I'd try setting a light some lighting from below. I wound up just setting a PAR-300 LED on the ScrOG grid pointing upward. While it's early, it seems the light is helping, and those lower baby buds are responding. I drained both the hydrobin and outside reservoir this week. This is my first drain and refill. Wound up with Ph on the low edge at 5.5 and a fairly potent TDS at 1570ppm. The only other info of interest is that we had a power outage that lasted hours. I wound up running around, having to fetch gas, and finally got a generator setup. Overall, everything was totally down for about 20 minutes, but I got the generator up and running for the other 4 hours the power was off.

Many of my seedlings are drooping, with some yellowing and even some brown spots. I think my increased watering schedule is the problem. Does that sound right? What corrective action should I take?

Hey elmer bud I saw that this question is 6 days old and was wondering if you ever transplanted them? You are correct that rockwool is VERY sensitive to overwatering. With those size cubes you want to plant them as soon as the roots start coming put of the bottom. But once you transplant them quite the opposite will happen. The grow medium you plant them in will pull water out of the rockwool so you will not have the overwatering issue anymore. I use perlite mostly but have used the clay pebbles, soil, coco and you want to plant them in something asap. Hopefully you already have. Curious to see an update on how they are doing. Good luck!

@ElmerBud, I just ordered some general hydroponics rapid rooters they are supposed to have better airflow than rockwool and a little dose of nutrients to give them a kickstart. They sound pretty nice. I have heard great things about them.

@ElmerBud, once you get them planted they will do much better. I look forward to the update! Will follow along.

@Wicked_Stix, Hey, thanks for the input. I've been out of town, was gone for a few days, and that sort of put everything on hold. I've still not transplanted, though that is the pan for later today. I look forward to my next go-round and taking advantage of your sage advice to transplant much earlier. I'll be posting an update here shortly, but the short version is that I continue to ride the over/under watering merry-go-round. Thanks!

First a big thanks to the responses I received here. Lots of good advice along with a fair amount of encouragement . . . what could be better. Hindsight now tells me that the problem was definitely overwatering; I seem to be a serial offender. I regret putting my girls through the back and forth cycle, but it'll all hopefully workout in the end anyway. I'm now equipped to do better next time. Live and learn.
