Week 2- Day 2 of Veg (Day 25 overall)
Everything seems to be on track, My system PH was down to 5.82 and I like it just a little higher so I added 3ml of PH up, brining it back to 5.87. Plants are spreading out and growing.. each has two nodes going from where I topped it. And the roots are looking great!

Week 2- Day 3 of Veg (Day 26 overall)
The PH was at 5.83 I like it around 5.86-5.89 so I added 2ml of PH UP bringing the PH to 5.86.
on Number 1, 2, and 4 I topped 4 Nodes. On Number 3 I topped 3 Nodes. Lots of explosive Growth on number 4.
Just got an update that my Sex testing kits will be delivered this afternoon.. Can't wait.. I have heard of turnarounds within 2 days so have my fingers crossed that they are all female.
Evening Check in PH was down to 5.80 so added 7mil of PH up brought it to 5.89. Also topped one more node on #1 brining it to 5 nodes topped. Adjusted light from 60% to 80%

Week 2- Day 4 of Veg (Day 27 overall)
The PH was is at 5.86 looking good, the temp is looking good.. However on number 1 I am seeing signs of light burn. I turned the light up yesterday but I didn't raise them and I forgot that I am doing 20 hours of light this cycle They were at 24" from the plants. The thinking was let me see what the new light can do and what they did was burn the leaves some. I raised the light up to 33" from the plants will continue to monitor and adjust intensity as needed. I also topped all plants on 2 nodes.

Week 2- Day 5 of Veg (Day 28 overall)
Had adjusted the lights yesterday and turned them back down to 60% as well as moved them 33" from the plants and the conditions on #1 and #3 continued to get worse. I reached out a more advanced grower and think we have it identified as too much Calcium in the system. I drained the system and started it over.
36 Gallons
Cal=.25mil/gal = 9Mil
FloraMicro= 3.0Mil/Gal = 108Mil
FloraGrow=2.0Mil/Gal = 72Mil
Flora Bloom=2.0Mil/Gal = 72Mil
PH Down= 1.72Mil/Gal = 62Mil
PPM= 466
PH= 5.87

Week 2- Day 6 of Veg (Day 29 overall)
The results are in!! 50/50, 2 male 2 female.. was really surprised that #3 was a female.. Really sad that #4 was a male. Happy #2 is a female, Out of all 4, #2 has been the most consistent and was the most resistant to the damage that I have done. #1 I was indifferent about it being a male.
I removed the Two males from my grow and moved number 3 to the front so that both are in the front easier to take care of and when I SCROG I will just route them both towards the back of the tent where the empty Pods now sit.

#2 is 5" Tall and 15" Long
#3 is 4 1/2" Tall 14 1/2" long (edited)
@RDWCGrowing, They should recover. Cutting the roots slows it down a bit and it uptakes less nutrients while it recovers, but it will take off once it gets established. Make sure you get all the old roots out, that will leave something for the pythium and bad bacteria to eat. Some staining on the roots are fine, your water and nutrients can stain.. they don't have to be bright white, yellow/tanish is ok too.
@Oozle, I have my fingers crossed that I am back on track.. only then next few days will tell.. #3 is not looking well to me.. it looks like half shock if that makes sense.. I think I over reacted when I cut out the Rot on the roots.. I just hope I didn't kill it before I even gave it a chance with the fix items... I thank you for looking over my diary and taking the time to make suggestions to help me.
