Hello buddy.... them some roots you got. 💯. Regarding PH meter.. Good advise above... however how long have you had your PH meter for? And what make? Some makes do not last longer than a certain time.. Essential is one of those makes.

Been a good week so far, no issue with the plant.
All is coming along nicely, starting to get some nice frosting around all the buds.
Roots are way more dense now and not all stuck together since fixing the rest temp. The unhealthy part I chopped of the other week (almost half the root system) does not seem to of affected it much. Have noticed it's drinking a more normal amount of water since it's recovered. 😆

If anyone can advise me on my Ph control issue and what I should be doing that would be great.

It seems that ph is the biggest issue people struggle with in hydro. It is usually one of 2 issues. Either nutrients that don't run stable or bacteria breeding causing an unbalanced environment in your reservoir. To rule out the bacteria issue add 2 tsp per gallon of 3% hydrogen peroxide to your reservoir. This will kill any bacteria and add oxygen to the water at the same time. I always run it in my system week 1 just to be safe. As for the nutrients I use maxigro and maxibloom. They buffer pH great and will run stable all week. It is also really cheap. Those 2 things will solve your pH issues and make life a lot easier. Good luck

Should I trim some of this out, not much below the canopy besides some fan leaves. Just thinking theres not enough space between the heads. Was thinking of starting flower next week.

Hi @shibbyguy you can do some defoliation on the bigger leaves mainly under the net where the light doesn't reach and slightly over the net. the secret of defoliation is to keep doing it little by little so as not to stress your plant. good luck mate 👍🙏

Is this too much defoliation or just enough? I have just switched to flower today.

Growdiaries needs a hall of fame for stuff like this.. This is awesome in a sense because it's a good learning experience for others and more so for you I'm sure... Don't do this.

@Puffer_Bill, hey mate, ive got a Apera PH20 Meter. Its fairly new and calibrated regularly. I found my ph issue's was because of some algea/slime issue with the roots and they way I was mixing the nutrients. Since correcting these issue PH is much more stable.
The meter for checking the ppm is a cheap one though, brand new.

Thanks for the help guys. The smell has died down quite a bit, but have heaps of peroxide on hand so I'll add some tonight. Yes, I rinsed the hydroton twice, boiled it then rinsed again. I'll keep adding Ph down to keep it correct I hope thats ok. Sorry not sure how to respond to individual comments.

Lol, you left almost nothing, the plant will spend a week or so refoliating itself, so flowering will be delayed

@shibbyguy, defoliation is something you have to try for yourself. Everyone has a different experience with it. I tried it and yield wise I got the same as always.

Hi,
Looks really strong, u cutted so many leafes but now u must have a feeling for not cut too much :D. I also had to get through the hard way and cutted all flower branches. But normally they get stucked a little bit more, so 3-6 intenodiums not more per day that means also for the flower branches, so I had to wait a bit longer but it will be healthier if u do a little bit more slowly. Sometimes they grow faster with nothing to do, but sometimes they cry for help.. So do it like u feel it's right and then if something gots an error be calm and check what could it be :) and other thing, I got also canna nutrients do u All think this division is a bit to much? I would start with my aeroponics with 33% of discribed ml u need so 2-2,2 ml /Litre of water (canna aqua a/b) and pk to high? Ive read that canna aqua a/b has a lot of the phosphates that u need..
Greetings

@shibbyguy,
Sry for my bad English xD but I understood well, I think.. My canna nutrients came 1h ago let's see if they work :) I will give them less than the recommend dosage. If someone have mummies and cuttings let me know how u do.. Well I think I have to change to led, cause the mini growbox (only for cuttings, got also a mums tent and a flower tent 1. 4x 55w and Flo 1 sanlight q6w) is getting to hot with 2x55w lights. Last investment men(sanlight flex 10 or 20), it was a long way but the setting will do it.. I hope so... If u have some tips for me let me know :)

@@Piccobinol, it's called Schwazzing a technique that I wanted to try for myself (I will also be doing it again). So was not worried about cutting to much, in fact I'm quite happy with the progress. My main issue with this grow was the reservoir temp was too high a lot of the time which has now been fixed (caused some root rot/algae issues). If your unsure on how much to feed with the canna nutrients, you can check for yourself on there website or the back of the bottle. There recommend dosages are pretty spot on. I've only over fed the plants a few times and that's just due to laziness and letting the water level drop to low.
Sorry if I didn't understand what you were getting at, your English isn't the best.

Very interested to see how this experiment goes now after so much negative feedback😅😂. Was a little surprised no one has ever tried Schwazzing for themselves. This is a little more extreme then what most people are game to try, normally a little more is left on top. Thinking I might do a side by side comparison with the next grow if my clones survive.
