I noticed a small algae buildup under the drip lines as well as some algae growing on the sides of the fabric pots. To address this I reduced the time the fertigation pump runs for on each feeding from a minute to 30 seconds. I have also added an air pump and two air stones to the reservoir to provide it with oxygen and prevent stagnation.
Both plants continue to get bushy with hardly any vertical growth. The nodes are very tight and with the scrolling the main stem is very difficult to see. Zkittlez 1 still lags behind Zkittlez 2 in growth and overall voracity.
I switched from using the Mars Hydro Reflector 96 to the Mars Hydro TS 1000. It's technically a lower wattage light, but is full spectrum and gets much better reviews than the Reflector. It does however run warmer. Since installing it I have struggled to keep the temperature below 29º C.
