Rise of the Fogbender

I'm cutting the fogponics experiment short. The rez temperature is unmanageable to me. It rose as high as 32 degC, and the only thing saving my plant up until now is that the roots have not reached the water yet. Even so, now that the leaves have developed a bit more, I see some deformity on the leaves developed during the last week. Can't be sure, but I suspect those were caused by the fogponics heat stress. We'll see. I must say though, the root growth is the best I've seen, compared to just straight to DWC, with air bubbles penetrating the hydroton. Usually what I'd end up with is one single long root. Instead, there are multiple root hairs, and multiple long strands. I think for my next grow I'll rig up a kind of simple low pressure aeroponic setup within my current 36 gallon tote. Ideally I can switch between the aeroponics mode and DWC mode easily. So I moved it to the final DWC rez. It's a huge 36 gallon tote, and I hope that this will give me the freedom to be out of town on extended periods without worry. After a couple of days in the new tote, I also changed the light to my 600W Optic4 LED. Right now only the COBs are on. I will turn on the bloom boosters when the plant is bigger. This week not much happened. Kate and Pippa are chugging along, growing roots, growing nodes. Last week, kate is only just starting to develop it's 3-leafs node. This week it is starting to develop it's 5-leafs node. As for Pippa, last week it was still developing its single leaf node. This week, it is in the middle of developing the 3-leafs node. Now that they have had a few strands of roots, and are in the middle of DWC, I'm expecting good things. Nute concentration is currently at 500ppm, and grow light is 30" away. During this coming week, I will just maintain the nute concentration, but gradually lower the light to 24" distance.
