Week 3- Day 1 of Veg (Day 31 overall)
Water Change out Day
36 Gallons in
CalMag = .5Mil/Gal = 18Mil
FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal = 151Mil
FloraGrow = 3.8Mil/Gal = 137Mil
FloraBloom = 3.0Mil/Gal = 108Mil
PH DOWN = 1.72Mil/Gal = 62Mil
PPM = 546
PH = 5.88
This Grow has definitely been an interesting grow I have been playing with Over or Under since the beginning and it all started with me drowning the plants by adding too much water. I will have to make sure I watch that on all my future grows. I prayerful that this week will get me fully back on track, in my previous grows using my chart, I haven't had any issues during this week, so again prayerful that this is the week I am back on point.

Week 3- Day 2 of Veg (Day 32 overall)
ROOT ROT!!!
I guess from when I drowned it I caused a lurking issue that really showed it's head today. The roots were looking not slightly bleached but looking black. I cut out what looked dead and I had to run to the local Hydro shop to pick up some items to see if I can fix it and strengthen the plants.
I picked up Mammoth Silica, ORCA, and ROOT Drip.
I completely drained the system and started it over today as well.
38 Gallons In
Mammoth Silica = .5Mil/Gal = 19Mil
CalMag= .5Mil/Gal = 19Mil
Root Drip = 1Mil/Gal = 38Mil
FloraMicro = 4.2Mil/Gal = 160Mil
FloraGro = 3.8Mil/Gal = 144Mil
FloraBloom = 3.0Mil/Gal = 114Mil
Orca = .5Mil/Gal = 19Mil
PH Down 60 Mil = PH 5.83
I also had to run by Staples I realized the paper I was using wasn't the right brightness and Lbs for the Photon App. What I needed to have 22Lbs 98 Bright. I recently saw a comparison of the different weight papers against a several hundred dollar Apage PPFD detector and with the right paper it was almost exact readings. With that my PPFD 355.

Week 3- Day 3 of Veg (Day 33 overall)
Still alive!! #2 and #3 are still alive and it looks like no further damage to any of the leaves.
#2 needed 1 node topped. I will keep monitoring day to day.

Week 3- Day 3 of Veg (Day 34 overall)
Well Both appear to be doing all right. I cut off the offensive leaves from #3 nothing new on shown on the leaves. I actually needed to top 1 node on #2. PH is stable, Temps are stable.. I will be changing out the water and Nutes on Saturday not waiting the 2 weeks.

Week 3- Day 4 of Veg (Day 35 overall)
Well Both appear to be doing all right. I actually needed to top 1 node on #3 and 2 on #2. PH is stable, Temps are stable.. I will be changing out the water and Nutes on Saturday not waiting the 2 weeks. I think the additives are truly making a difference I think I will be adding them to all my grows from here on out.

Week 3- Day 5 of Veg (Day 36 overall)
Both still appear to be on the mend Still some dark brown on a small part of the roots and I don't know if those are just dead but it doesn't look like it is spreading and I see a bunch of new roots forming. Nothing new on the leaves at all. So I think the trio that I added is helping. The plants also seem to be in raised happy position going towards the light. I still plan to change the water on Saturday and go from there.

Week 3- Day 6 of Veg (Day 37 overall)
Moved the light up to 41 1/2" so 3' 4 1/2" away from the top of the Plants.
PPFD= 363
Power on my Light =62.5
Water Temp is holding steady=70.3
PPM= 534
PH= 5.92
Tent Temp= 72.5
Humidity= 50-60% I have 2 humidifiers running on INK Bird controllers monitoring it 24/7.
I will be changing out the water tomorrow even though I could let it go an extra week but I am still concerned that the Root Rot is clearing up and I don't want to risk it coming back. I want fresh Nutes/ water in the tanks.
I topped 2 nodes on #3
I topped 3 Nodes on #2
I also cleaned out some of the bottom third portion that isn't getting much light and not much growth at all.
#2: 8 1/2" tall, 18" Wide
#3: 7 1/2" Tall, 15" Wide
