===== 9/17 Veg Week 4 Day 1 (39) =====
Just letting BD chill and grow. She is growing weird.

BD is just chilling.
===== 9/19 Veg Week 4 Day 3 (41) =====
There is some foam in my hydroponics system. I’m debating a couple options: adding more orca, sterilizing with root drip or h2o2, or rez swapping.
I haven’t started training BD yet. Hoping she catches up a bit, and she is growing wonky as it is kind of want to see her natural shape first as I don’t think she’ll fit my initial blueprint.
Evening: HWG helped me diagnose MW as most likely having a phosphorus deficiency. That combined with the foam led to a rez swap. Since my RO reservoir hasn’t been set up and filled yet, I used tap water treated with dechlorinator again. I plan to have RO ready for the next swap on Sunday. I did the same nutrient composition as the last swap but raised the rez to right under the net pots:
43 gallons water
22 ml dechlorinator
22 ml tps silica
32 ml CALiMAGic
181 ml FloraMicro
163 ml DynaGro Grow
129 ml FloraBloom
22 ml Orca
43 ml PH down

BD got her first topping.
===== 9/21 Veg Week 4 Day 5 (43) =====
No training today.
I installed a float valve supplied by a line from my RO so I don’t have to replace the water manually in the humidifier anymore. I plan to drop a few ml of h2o2 into the humidifier every couple of days.
===== 9/22 Veg Week 4 Day 6 (44) =====
BD just chilling.
===== 9/23 Veg Week 4 Day 7 (45) =====
Only light training today: moving stems away from budsites.
The plants continue to show many different signs of deficiencies. I’ve checked and rechecked the ph levels, so I’m lead to believe the issue is either overwatering or too many nutrients. I have lowered the water 2 inches like it was before to prevent the rooters from becoming soaked, and plan to cut the nutrients in half at tomorrow’s regularly scheduled feeding (except calmag which I will keep the same since I’m switching to RO water).
