Hey guys, thanks for the welcome. I'm a new grower in a ban state so I've been keeping my grow a secret and doing my best not to screw up. At work right now so can't post photos but I've got a small thread going at Unknown Forum if you want to see progress so far. Just flipped a week or so ago.
I was tipped off that there are some experienced RDWC growers here so I hope to learn a lot. No real issues at this point but my first plant that popped will not stop getting rust spots on older growth. I screwed that plant up by using test strips instead of a meter, the pH was around 3.5 for the first month or two and it's never really recovered. There's a pic of one of the leaf on the GWE thread. I took a clone of it and that is doing great in comparison. I'm thinking the root system is bound up or restricted in some way. Also I'm thinking I should have pulled some of the clay out of the net pots cause the trunk is compressed by them due to growth. Maybe not an issue, dunno.
