The pH continued to sink for 5 days of week 2 but has settled out and is holding steady at 5.8. I had to discontinue adding the 10 oz bolus's of Buffer Solution due to total volume (adding to water level). changed to adding 1mL of pH Up to a liter measuring cup and then blending with the returning nutrient as it entered the external reservoir. In the course of the week of adjusting the pH, I added in another 2 mL/Gal of CaliMagic in an effort to stabilize the pH; Between pH Up and Cal-Mag the ppm is now at 806.
Plant Growth has been very good this week with most of the clones adding at least 1 inch and a few adding 4 inches of height. You can see the clear container in one of the pictures - I added that temporarily to prop up the light stressed clone. I applied the FIM technique to all of the central top nodes on day 5.
Upcoming Equipment changes:
Ordered a pair of Gull Wing style SE HPS/MH Reflectors that will replace the LEDs pictured currently. Ordered a second Quantum 2 600w Ballast to ensure even consistent lighting - Same Lamps, Same Reflectors, Same Ballasts.
Adding an Air Intake Fan, Adding a Thermostat to regulate air intake and exhaust (synchronized) to maintain a set temperature.
Re-configuring the air ducting to make the appropriate room for the Gull Wing Reflectors.
