Starting out from seed in jiffies bc thats what worked for me so far. Decided against using rockwool because I like the reusability of clay pebbles. Designed some 3d printed netpots the size of 7.5x7.5 rockwool cubes for that. Had to pull them out of the jiffy to make them root in a temporary dwc. After four days, first roots started to show at the bottom.

Starting the plants off First time analyzing the pH. The pH of the tank was at 8.4. Brought it down to 5.7. Two days later pH of 5.9. Added epsom salt to supply Mg, targeted 50mg/L Mg. After doing that, EC went up to 1.6, brought it down to 1.4 mS/cm and also reached a pH of 5.5. Update: EC keeps going up, now already at 1.6mS/cm. This means the plant takes up more of the water itself rather than the supplied nutrients, leading to a higher salt to water concentration. Bringing it down to 1.2mS/cm.

Going to top them this week. MxP and CBD#1 have been topped already, waiting for one more pair of leaves on the LO and a little while on the RJ to make easier cuts. Planning to go for a quick grow, probably gonna flip them in week 4-5, max 6. No clue how full the tent will be as this is my first grow in this tent and my first NFT grow. In the future I'd like to go for a sea of green, maybe 12 plants (all clones), with 12/12 from the start. I'm keeping the VPD at around 1.2kPA and slowly increasing the EC, which is now at about 1.5 mS/cm. The roots of the plants are growing all over the place on the grotank table, I think some of the cbd#1 are already reaching into the tank itself.

Is there anything I should do against the roots growing into the tank? What are the effects of the roots growing into the tank?

Its fine, they will airprune and die off. I would make sure tho, that the tank itself is clean and cannot infect the roots with anything, also the tank needs to drain properly.

I've topped the RJ and the LO after the third node. The CBD seems a bit sleepy, but mostly that is due to me towing the big fan leaves under the lower growth to increase light penetration of the branches. All eight branches are exposed. Did the same for the RJ and the LO. The MxP does not let me do that easily, so I just leave her be. The Radical Juice is starting to look like a model, very healthy plant. Its sidebranches are higher than the top. The Cbd#1 has some really huge fan leaves and shows strong "knuckles". I'm waiting just a little bit for more branch development on it, then I'll remove the largest fan leaves to encourage new growth. It gives off a fresh, sweet and lightly citrussy scent. The MxP shows a tendency to grow higher than the rest. The funky purple basil and the lemon basil are doing alright, but I'm guessing the amount of light will soon be too much for the young basil. If everything goes well, I'd like to go into flower in 2-3 weeks. Few things to do before that: - Top LO (done) - Take clones (if all goes well, will do this during lollipopping + defoliation in the week before flower)
