sllybilly Topped to the second node, started lst to get that flat mainifold. Accidentally left off air pump for a day, that caused that leaf damage, whoops. Top feed drip needs switched to re circulation feed... Great growth w barney farms as usual. Roots going from bright white to off-white :( tho still very healthy.

sllybilly Changed light from a single 3500k qb running ~ 135W, to a 250W 'respec' with 660nm boards 3500k @ 150W. Tight nodes quick growth. pH was floating down to 5.88-5.6. No more pH down required. GHs maxigrow at a 1tsp/gal puts my pH right at 6, add the other nutes brings it down to 5.9. After a day ph drops a bit, I assume the great white is feeding and this is ok. I like the Floralicious Plus addition, it should give the great white flora some diversity as they eat the sugars and multiply. Don't like that it turns the solution dark black/brown. Not happy with root color, added more air, a scoop of great white (on top of normal gw in res) in each bucket.

sllybilly Started introducing Maxibloom to the solution, smooth transition. Bent a few ladies over HST style. Defoil here and there. Looking for really open and good air flow.

@Kid_Colombia, Hey thanks Kid! This is the first time I am using Great White, its vast diverse bacterial and fungal makeup interested me vs hydroguard 1 bacterium. Hydroguard claims its Bacillus bacteria is dominate.
