First DWC White Widow Auto

We had an exciting week. Was busy with work so only a few photos. They're in full veg nutes and starting to smell great. I had an error early on with training that I couldn't correct (wasn't aggressive enough) which will bite me, but I'm going the extra mile to keep them open. Unfortunately, the stress did snap one plant in half. She got really droopy and a few hours later is back in action. Trying to help my blunder (and since I was pruning) I added silica. It's way easier to train in anything other than hydroton! Before I started I knew this was going to be a frustration. With the help of some youtube videos I should be good for the next batch. I did a bunch of cleanup. Topped/fim'd everywhere I could see. Took about two days until the smell came back and growth took off, so I gather they're happy again. Last weekend was the first full res change. I redid the math for my starting pH buffer and we're even more stable than before (daily change is +.1). Nutrients are dropping slowly, but I'm not happy with my cheap PPM meter and delaying an upgrade ( $ yikes). The Bluelab pH meter however, was an awesome investment. I have to say, the advance research is paying off. Your diaries have been really helpful (especially the missteps) and it seems like I got ahead of several DWC pitfalls before they started (mainly pH and slime). FYI, the rear-right plant was the one started days late, directly in a rapid rooter. Spacing is really far because she bypassed my tiny LED strip and only spent a few days under the CFL before going under the big light. Speaking of lights, if I had a smaller tent or was doing a single SCRoG I would be REALLY happy with this light for the price. Unfortunately, trying to spread out 4 plants to maximize my space means that a central panel has awful angles. They're still clustered and the falloff on the outside edge is 50%. I'm going into flower so the decision was made to swap lights (hard eye roll on that expense). The Blooms Plus is going on ebay, barely used.
