Today, Day 11, the seed has entered it's 2nd cycle of growth and appears healthy has can be. Can't wait for the results to come.

Thanks - that sounds about right. We are at and early stage and would need to refill each morning but its starting to taper off.

Hi Everyone! Very excited to be starting my first Bloom grow. My wife and I received our Bloom about a week ago and have just finished setting it up. Looks like we are going to be using the FlapJack recipe in order to proceed with the Indica seeds we had purchased. Can't wait to see what comes next!!!

Here's what the baby looks like now as of day 21.

Should I begin pruning lower leaves now that it's entered the veg stage?

Today I received a new power board in the mail and immediately installed it. Although I received some very clear instructions on how to properly install the board the following lines will be about my experience carrying said instructions.

As described, I began by removing the power board cover and carefully pulling out each wire, 1-15. Wires 8 and 9 proved to be fairly tricky to remove so a word of caution to anyone who may have this problem. After that, I simply unscrewed the powerboard, replaced it with the new one, and re-attached each wire this time starting from wire 15.

The dashboard then proceeded to give me notifications relating to the problems that were now fixed.

The nutrients level had now read 2400. In order to lower this, I emptied about a quarter of the reservoir and filled it up with fresh water then checked the ppm. I continued doing this until the ppm was slightly below the recommended range and then allowed the bloom to put it back in range.

Once that was done I was given another alert regarding the ph sensor. The dashboard was only reporting an error so I went back into the power board cover, unplugged and replugged wire 14 then turned the bloom off and on again. This seemed to have fixed the ph sensor which then read 8.2. The bloom quickly began adding ph down until it was back within its normal range.

Everything is once again functioning as it should and my plant seems to be responding already. Thanks for all the help!

@pdxbloom apparently the problem was with the ppm sensor.

I believe the sensor was constantly reading the nutrient level it was at when I had made the stage change (623) and in an attempt to raise the level to 800 it kept pumping the nutrients into the reservoir. This lead the reservoir to change to a deep purple color.

Luckily, I caught this the day of the stage change and my plant hasn't seemed to suffer from overfeeding.

In order to solve the issue, I was told to remove the pumps from the three nutrient bottles. Then I emptied most of the reservoir, leaving about an inch or two left, and filled it back up with water, which seemed to dilute the deep purple color that I had seen earlier. I will now be receiving a new sensor system to install along with nutrients to get my plant back on track (I'm not sure who to @ but the help has been greatly appreciated).

I hope this can help solve any future problems

Good morning everyone,

Just a follow-up question for my previous post, it seems that after sending the plant into the veg stage that my bloom is unable to hit its expected nutrient level, any tips or tricks as to how to fix this?

Day 19 update,

Took these pictures right after sending the plant into Veg 1. I had completed a water change prior to heading into the seedling stage however the ratios of nutrients stay the same into Veg 1 so I did not complete a water change for this phase change. Also, it appears to me that some of the newer fan leaves seem to take on a paler green than leaves that have been there longer, is this normal/ do these plants look healthy? I am a first-time grower so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Today, Day 11, the seed has entered it's 2nd cycle of growth and appears healthy has can be. Can't wait for the results to come.

Day 8 into germination and I had completed the stage change as instructed by Bloom.

Hey Everyone! just catching up on some posts.

11 days ago I began germinating my clementine kush seeds. In order to do so I simply placed the seeds in and began the FlapJacks recipe posted by @I_like_plants. This was contrary to much of the research I had done on growing but the seeds have certainly taken (more to come).

Thanks - that sounds about right. We are at and early stage and would need to refill each morning but its starting to taper off.

Is it normal that I get a daily message about the humidity level being low?
