I have increased the Nutrients. Decreased the Nitro, beginning to give more P & K. The plants look healthy, and grow is vigorous. 2 plants in hydro have outsized the other 2 significantly. Well one plant has stayed small and never been topped in an effort to even the canopy.
A word of advice...but only for RDWC. So as the roots grow, they fill up both the container and the pipes and into the reservoir. I have 5-gallon buckets and 2" pipe. So... as they grow, they restrict flow. What happened to me was an overflow from the first 2 buckets because I filled the reservoir as the pump was running. My flow rate out of the reservoir was more than my intake because of restriction, from roots, in the pipe between the buckets. Problem avoided by filling the reservoir with the pump off, to the fill line I had marked.
I trimmed some of the largest fan leaves. Sprayed neem oil for Pest Prevention. I will flower in a week. I will probably trellis.
Neither of the soil plants are the size or robustness of the Hydro.
Hey nice garden bro, is this your first run with that Medic Grow 1000 Watt light? I am running their Spectrum X 880 watt light now but its my first run. How do you like the light so far?
@Tweezer, Thanks for kind words. My first run also. All plants (9) 4 in RDWC seem to have loved it in Veg. I have not cranked up to 100% yet and I might not. The 80% setting has been working great. I shall see how the plants flower. My first impression of the light is very good. Now... I have nothing to compare it to but it does heat my room up quite a bit. Well, I guess I should expect that. I hung the light high and I have not moved. Fingers still crossed but I believe this to be a good purchase. I wish the same and better for you. Good luck, gonna check you out now! I meant to mention... I am in a 6x6 with reflective walls. Basically, a tent, and the light covers this area completely. I have different size pots, but I am confident this light is enough for the entire room.
