I first want to thank everyone who had followed this grow and express my sincerest apologies for its failed outcome. I am extremely embarrassed to report my girls died a horrible death and I hold myself responsible. My poor planning and failure to keep up with this their care lands squarely on me. A month ago I had an unexpected work trip land in my lap. I originally expected to be gone for only a week. So I prepped them for my leave and left them in the care of a veteran outdoor grower. Again, I was only to be out of town for a week. One week turned into two and that turned into a month. My veteran grower has a lot of experience outdoor but hardly any indoor. Had these girls been in soil, they may have stood a chance. But in hydro and the damage committed in week two of veg made the grow unrecoverable. Here is how it all started. I was first told that one of my fittings must be leaking as water was covering the floor and the reservoir was near empty. So over the phone I was trying to identify where the leak was coming from. The issue issue should not have been so hard to determine. But there was a critical question I was not asking. What was the water temp in each bucket? The roots started to clog the return and over flow the buckets. That is where the water was coming from. Because there was no water circulation the water temps started to rise. But because I did not ask about water temps in the beginning, I continued to ask questions about a possible leak. As soon as was told about the high water temps it was too late. The damage was done and continuing on would be a waste. So moving forward what should I do? Simple, grow in soil as it will be the most forgiving when or if I have to leave my girls with another. Again, my sincerest apologies to all who followed and I hold myself completely responsible for horrific outcome.

That is an interesting comparison. The longer root hairs seem to be a result of the fogging technique. I did consider topping the root caps to encourage lateral root development but decided against it. I will keep my meddling below the soil line to a minimum for this grow. Thank you for your interest. Any experience you choose to share is always appreciated.

Purpling is due to Mag deficiency. In your case there's too much light in your tent . Adding Cal-Mag won't solve your problem until you dim your light or put it further. Proper Mag def is rare, Mag def is mostly due to too much light or over watering (in media). In your case it can't be over watering of course, you're using Cal-Mag and still having purpling, the only last solution is your light, your light is too powerful for this size of plant. Your nootz solution is too hot by the way, you start to get nootz burn. What's the amount of ppm's in the res. ?

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Thank you for the suggesting the light. Not sure what I was thinking when I increased the light but failed to raise it up. But it is all good now.

Stay on Veg nootz + Cal/Mag for the first 3 weeks of flowering, and add 250 ppm's of a 17% Nitrogen (17-0-0) supplements in the first 2 weeks of flowering if you can. On week 4 you can switch to Flowering nootz + Mag/Sulfur and P-K Boosters for Indica's (start P-K boosters in week 5 for Sativa's).

@JUNGLE_B4RNS THX bro! I love this portal :) Important feed back for me!! Happy growing!!! :D
JUNGLE_B4RNS
JUNGLE_B4RNS
@Mr_Di,you can slightly increase N for the first 3 weeks of flowering, they will super stretch, not really recommended if you don't have the space to grow monster plants.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, hi bro, i read of this kind of feed chart, N overboost for first 3 week of flo (or standard veg feed chart) , this metod shoud be encrease final size of plant...RIGHT? Can you confirm this? Do they continue to grow more than usual by doing so? You know, I would try, but I do not have much space, I would not make a mistake...then with led, if i will have over 40 cm (vertical penetration) of canopy .....i will harvest little popcorn under this distance πŸ˜“ what is your feedback bro?

@8TrackBaby, i used dutch master gold in dwc and rdwc with excellent results. I also flowered with biobizz in my blue mystic grow diary with amazing results!

@HOW_i_GROW, It's RDWC. I might add one or two separate standalone buckets in the next grow and see if a different balance in nutrients make any difference. I may try a cheaper label than Fox Farm. We'll see. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks
8TrackBaby
8TrackBaby
@HOW_i_GROW, Yes. It's an RDWC. My first time growing with this method. So far so good.

I'm guessing your nute measurement are a total added, not per gal..? How's many gallons is this added to?
8TrackBaby
8TrackBaby
@Fun_Growin, You are correct, that was my mistake. The total number of gallons is 15. I'll see if I can get that corrected.

@Fun_Growin, I have strawberries in it right now. But as soon as they are done and i pull the next set of clones I will put together some photos with a video. Creating a video for other cannabis growers will be new to me. So I hope not to come off as too laughable. Thank you for the interest.

Very nice looking grow room, 8. Your girls are looking great. Promise me you won't go into flower until you have a full canopy. i.e. you can't see your the ground for your foliage. ;-) btw. I think Barnes is seeing inter veinal chlorosis stage 1 which means too much light is falling on your girls.. Great idea to back your light off. I doubt you would need more than a 100 watts on your garden at this stage.IMO. Keep up the good work.

Your roots look like carrots, Trac. I am going to follow your grow with interest. Keep up the good work.

@Fun_Growin, Thanks brother, I've got some new seeds on the way and a friend I can pull some clones from in the meantime. So I should be able to start a new crop this weekend. Fingers crossed.
