All system go, had to make some mods to bring water and tent temperature down. The hydro water after 2 weeks had a slight odor, the roots on both plants were clean. Today. I performed a complete water change on both buckets. Added hydro guard and refreshed nutrients, got temp to 3 degrees difference and made the change. 8 hour post change and no visible signs of shock, will monitor through the night. The hydro plants are doing wonderfully at 16 days, have many straws each and are settling into Vegetative mode just fine.
The Soil plant is doing awesome, it is more mature at 36 days and the water straggler is catching up fine. Will top S1 as the layer clears the leaves and prepare for flowering,...est 6/4
Happy Family.......Soil = Day 40......Hydro = Day 21
Topped S1, she is thriving nicely in Veg mode, beautiful lush green growth and now branches are starting to spread. The S2/H1 candidates are catching on and it looks like we will keep H1(renamed to S3); S3 is same strain but different lot of seeds and does look distinctly different then the 3 other plants. It matches the lot used in the test run, so it should be viable.
Hydro plants are thriving... made some changes to support. Leveled both buckets water level to 2 inches below the basket AND raised the light up to around 30" to stimulate some upward growth. While H2 is doing okay, H3 is looking like a head of lettuce and I need it to raise up a bit. This routine brought upward plant growth in 4-days.
