Purple Urkle - DWC - First In Awhile

UPDATE: Unfortunately when I set up the CO2 tank I found signs of root rot in four plants. It’s early enough on and I’m confident the issue was the black buckets absorbing too much heat. Turned up the ventilation and now the water temp is around 65F. The real thing that killed me was having to flush all the roots with CO2 to see if they’re salvageable. I lost some leaves, but I managed to them all. I dumped two of my back-ups just because the root systems were pretty weak and the smell was getting to be a little too much so everything needed to go into the tent. Due to the weakened plants, I will no longer be mainlining eight colas. Probably am going to top all six and use soft ties to train. I plant to push into flower, once they’re around 12”-16”. Mainly ready to sex them all so I can go down to the best two females. Overall an exciting week! Parts to the CO2 tank all came in finally, so I should have time to set it all up tomorrow. Injecting about 1100 PPM in and swapping my light out for a 600W VIPARSPECTRA (found an awesome deal and can still return my 450W). Now that it's cold enough for the basement furnace to go on I'm considering letting the tent hit ~85F and 50% humidity once I can see how well they take to the CO2 injection. Last week I decided moderately amp up the nutrients to see what would happen and all of my plants took on better than expected. So well, that later on, this week I’m going to really start to push my nutrients even higher. Started LST and they’re staying pretty flat so far. The third node popped today, and I should be able to top and tie down the branches for mainlining by Friday too! Going to try and avoid the SCroG nets, just going to rely on soft ties anchored to the DWC base to micromanage the direction and angle the colas grow. Can’t get over the thick leaves, for sure a heavy Indica. I can't wait to see the flowering growth spurt!
