2x10 gallon RDWC waterfall selection

Alright boys and girls:) Big Text ahead:) short version: Comparison Grow with hydro instead of soil and Selected phenotypes. long version: It was a long, long time ago.... some grow mistakes have been made in between... it took some time to restart, as I was absent some time and had some problems with my mothers, which set me back quite a bit. I remember back in the day like 10 years ago I once had a similar fight with spidermites, which resulted in dying mothers....ugly.. I decided to start with new seeds back then. that one time it was too much pyrethrine that gave them the rest. This time I tried new untested soil, which was a mistake, it did the exact opposite of what the plants needed... my spider mite treatment with way too much iso alcohol and too much light afterwards (and also pyrethrine at some point, resulted in all clones almost dying and drying... then after some weeks the green finally slowly came back, they seemed to recover, and I pruned off some dead leaves, waited for a bit and after this I decided it is time for a nice re-potting aka soft root pruning to get rid of most of the old soil, and get some fresh soil to them roots. to kickstart everything.. never had a problem with a treatment like that, but since they all had spider mite damage, iso/light burn damage, the re pot into that garbage fungus gnats infected , cement like soil caused the death of NL and PGK.. the one dead PGK was a keeper, but she died unfortunately. after a week and 2 plants completle rotting away, roots getting eaten by gnats ( I got traps for them , still infestend soil..), so I decided I have to get the remaining clones free of this junk soil, and washed away that shit with the shower head, I tried to keep as many roots undamaged as I could, I washed almost all of the soil away down to the cocos rooting block . never again buying soil that is not 95% peat based... the other stuff is just shredded garden remains and city dirt leaves, dirty shit that they sell as biological super soil, lol....made based on the amazon super soil.. some nice cement that glues your rootball to a dried stone..lol. luckyly I had some real good soil from my garden vegetables. still with roots...the plants have just been dying outside a few weeks ago. and the outdoorplants also had spidermites , that is why I originally got new soil. so I cooked that old garden soil with distilled water and let it dry... that stuff was good soil, mycos, cocos, and some good quality peat soil... I remember I had calcium build up with some of my garden plants, but since it rained quite a bit, that soil was already flushed over months... it is a nice soft soil with not much ferts left I guess. this gave them new power... so now I am left with the best blue dream pheno and the best critical mass pheno luckily. I had 2x BD clones, even one of those died... and the BDs all started stress induced retard- flowering I think the Criticals too, but way less.. I did some heavy prunings cause of all those dying branches that happend while I tried to get them healthy again... I also pruned off all the funky small internode flower type growing that grew mostly on the bluedreams . hope that did not cause herming... in the pictures you can see that whole branches died off. I cut away the dried remains on quite some of the plants dying lymbs... they look funky due to that. now when I remember it right, the 2nd bluedream was even more flower mode like and I think killed it myself.. kept the one that had more normal grow left and cut the funky stuff away. some branches still looked veggish. and I still have one PGK, clone of the less prefered phenotype.. but still purple, those purple kushs all had the same yield approx. and out of all the clones, at least this is the most robust of them all... this particular pheno looks like a plant made for hash production.. real fluffy and robust, mountain area like. previous yield was : BD 50g CM50g PGK 35g the over all yield was 399g in a 2x4 with approx 330 watts in flower. I guess real dry maybe 380.. I want to to a comparison like grow. and step it up quite a bit. still 2x4, and between 300 and 400 watts LED this time, or as much as they will take... I've learned quite a bit how LED works, and more than 330W may still be too much, even in hydro for this size of a tent. Instead of 13 plants in 6l soil , and 13 different plants, this time: 4 selected clones, which are two bluedreams, one Critical Mass, and one PGK... so it would be 50/50 sativa/indica strains. it would probably give me even more yield with only CC and Bluedream, since they yielded quite a bit more... but still it could be also a shading problem why some plants performed so good/badly the 3 bluedreams of the previous grow had 5g , 10g and 50g on them, difference is crazy in yield..lol oh and the whole top pheno jar of that bluedream was moldy, cause I am stupid., I've lost approx 120g , it was my first curing in jars.. next harvest: LDPE bags, and jars for the end-storage... I have just a few mother pictures so far. I turned on half of my LED yesterday, along with fluoros, eacht about 70w and pretty far away.. first ferts today, since thesoil should not have much left... I re potted them about 5-7 days ago and the roots already grew through the pot, in a real nice white color. In the last picture you can see a peek at the hydroponic system... I'll come back to that a little bit later. the final test of the RDWC still has to be made and clones still have to be cut, so if you made it all the way through that wall of chatlog with myself, please take a seat, and lets do this :) EDIT: I fimmed the Critical Mass clone and the PGK for maximum branch elongation, cause I figured, I will take clones at the side branches , not the main stem... the BlueDream was not fimmed, cause I'll probably will cut the main stem for one decent clone.
