@TheUsualSuspect,not ice in the control bucket of water, this doesn't circulate around the roots, it's sole purpose is to chill the air lines only..

Hi, 300ppm with 900 ppm CO2, I'd bring the nutes up to 450-600ppm, then up to 800-900 two weeks before flipping to 12hr..

@TheUsualSuspect,most breeders give the soil pH, but cation exchange is slightly different in solution, and a slightly lower pH is recommended.. if you notice lock out begining, lower your pH to 5.8

@DWCHC, will try to follow your regiment on this diary as much as I can/dare. Let's see how it works out... These are just starting their 3rd week of veg, so next week I raise it to 450, then next 600 and so on. Will be close enough to what you advice. This particular strain prefers a ph of 6.2 in veg, and 6.5-6.7 in flowering (according to the breeder). Normally I'm used to strains that thrives in 5.8 so it's new for me to keep it this high. Any opinions?

@TheUsualSuspect,. In soil I'd be more cautious, the good part about hydro,is a bit of fresh water can reset things so to speak.. seedlings I wait till he second true leaves to begin feeding, at around the 300 ppm mark. Clones I wait till they throw roots into the solution then up to 300 ppm.. at week 2 of 300 ppm I bring it up to 600. Two weeks later up to 800.. holding there till the switch to flower, when a complete water change is done prior to switching to 12hr.. fresh flower nutes are balanced to 900 for 2 weeks then up to 1100-1200 for the duration until flush time.. pH I keep at 6 for veg and babies, 5.5-5.8 for flowering.. so far so good.. I do calmag when the leaves begin to show signs... Cheers! Keep it Green!

it seems you have too much heat and low humidity level ... maybe you need a better extraction system and air inflow I 'd rather turn some lights off before you get your new AC and keep water in big recipients to raise humidity level try to keep max 24ºC solution and air temperature ;) btw plans look very nice and strong ... just roots are a bit overheated so keep going :)

@nexuscrypto, , 🙏 thanks mate. I followed your advice about the lights and dimmed them down to 50% and they immediately responded with vigour and health. Well, that and the advice I got from @DWCHC regarding my feeding schedule has knocked me out of a folder I've been stuck in for way too long now (the "less-is-more" folder, which is a very good and safe folder to be in if you never want to elevate your skill). But I m free at last... thank you both 👊
