apologies for the washed out photos, didn't look as bad on my phone but now I can see it. will try to take better photos here forward under the lights.
18/6 lighting
Daily Light Integral
The daily light integral (DLI) you provide is 13.3 mol/m²d whereas the ideal is 12 mol/m²d.
For the most part, all is well this week. Temp and RH has been very steady around 73-74 degrees and 45-55% RH. Decent growth on all four except the one plant, Apex by Ethos. The plants taproot grew up instead of down. It was a little light in color as well, I believe that it has since corrected itself and found the right path downward. I’ve been hand watering about half a gallon a day from the reservoir to make sure the roots are getting water and food.
I increased the EC of megacrop to 0.8, roots are just now hitting the water with all the plants (except Apex). I’ll keep hand watering until they do. I lowered the water height to .5” below the net pots, I suspect they’ll be off to the races now.
Added an air stone inside of the reservoir itself as well, to help keep everything nicely mixed at all times.
PH still sitting perfect at 5.8.
So far so good outside of that.
