Buds and Root mass continues to grow beautifully. She’s fully budded out with a beautiful canopy. Correcting the nutrient solution down below 800ppm seems to have worked best for my grow conditions. I’m using half tablespoon of beastie bloomz mixed in the 13 gallon solution. Ph was plummeting with higher nutrient ppm (1.5 drop per day easy). Things seem to be in harmony now and yesterdays water change went great. That process took some streamlining but is efficient enough not to be embarrassing now. Next grow will be less plants. Recirculating system still in thought stages. 20-30-20 1/2 tbsp BB and 20 HG. 5ml MP. Ph 5.8-6.2

She’s taken off and looks great. I was heavy handed on the nutrients but have since adjusted. Ph was dropping and I suspect nutrients were too strong and leaving behind too much as she consumed water. Water looks clear but I changed it anyway with fresh nutrients added. I’m still using hydroguard at 5ml/ gallon. Overall just growing so big it’s crowding an area I would normally grow two plants in. It’s massive for the age.

This plant is doing well. All new growth are 9 fingers. The Root System is equally as healthy with mass throughout the pot. Her counterpart has the beginnings of a cal mag deficiency. I suspect the LED lights are causing the plant to seek out more of those nutrients and have increased cal mag to the high dose on the bottle (5ml)/ gl. Nutrient solution changed again today. The Root mass is entirely white and the hydro guard seems to be maintaining a great root health. Still unsure if azos can be used for hydro but I’ve been tossing in a tablespoon as it cannot hurt. Ph is 5.83 and the ppm is ~1,250 going into bud. Withheld open sesame NPK booster this feeding change but may add in a day or two depending upon how they tolerate the increased nutrient solution. Overall the plants are healthy with the thickest stalks to date. Seems to be superior over soil grow all around. The purple haze Auto is likely to be the final soil grow. Complete change to hydro DWC and then an RDWC next run.

She’s growing up fast. I’ll increase the ppm next water change as she gets further into flower. Added a touch of big bloom nutrients ~10 ml to the bucket.

Root growth is accelerating. Prior concerns with root color are gone. I changed her water today and found it to be remarkably clear with only nutrient color visible. Considering stretching the water changes out to 10 days and employing a topping off method of nutrient solution. Current recipe 8ml per gallon of Flora trio. 3 cal mag and ~2.5 hydroguard. Ph 5.8 and ppm ~1,040. Temp 72°F water temp 73.4° NPK booster (chaching) going in soon. Any comments or suggestions very much appreciated.

Color in the leaves are the focal point. They appear a bit lighter in green than the older growth. Root growth is strong and they’re ivory white. Bottom leaf with the nutrient burn dot shows added burn from where I had attempted to clean. Water and ambient temp/humidity are excellent. I’m going to increase nutrient solution strength next water change on Tuesday. They’re still not drinking much and water level has held through last Tuesday’s water change. Only Minor ph adjustments down each day (due to aeration of water?). The stems are thick. Training down to open canopy later this afternoon.

🤷‍♂️ it looks awesome to me. This is the first hydro grow so color of the plant and hyper focus on spotting deficiencies early are becoming an ocd. I did take a peak at the roots and noted the main stalk has a tint that could be concerning or nutrient color (radish). I added an additional 10ml to the 13 gallon mix and will monitor it closely. Other roots are developing rapidly and are also lightly tinted with what appears to be nutrient color. Everything looks healthy and it’s growing fast. Really won’t know until it’s in the grinder.

Nutrient solution moved to 60ml per 13 gallons. Label calls for 130ml per 13 gallons. Just trying to heat up the nutes slowly. Increased my cal mag closer to recommended amount on the label. Comments and recommendations welcome and appreciated. General hydro trio nutes going in next water change. Also using hydro guard a touch of azos and great white. Patiently waiting for roots to emerge from below the net pots.
