These gallons just don’t quit , uptake of solids is crazy . 2 days since the change ph is playing with my head , slow rise then static ? Otrera didn’t get a change yet hasn’t done a full sweep of the nutrients.
Myrina
TDS 816 ppm was 935 ppm Falling
Water temp 74.1
Water level down 3/4 gallon Falling
Ph 5.6 was 5.6 Static

Thalestris
TDS 770 ppm was 905 ppm Falling
Water temp 74.1
Water level down 3/4 gallon Falling
Ph 5.7 was 5.7 Static

Otrera
TDS 465 ppm was 564 ppm Falling
Water temp 73.9
Water level down 1/2 gallon Falling
Ph 5.8 was 5.7 Rising you get one to
Canopy temp 77.1 two extra fans helps nothing !
Room temp 79.3
Room Rh 55.3
Outside temp 75 at 11:00 am
Outside Rh 71%

Wished I could pick Myrina and Thalestris up for a pic losing the media as the lid folds . Here’s Otrera’s roots with no build up of nutrients above or below the water line .

Awesome stuff West!

I see you've got your PH Vodoo magic on full tilt again - someday I'll figure out how you manage it

But I still haven’t found the phosphorus for the top off water . Works great in DWC but the 20 gallon reservoir still fighting back .

4 weeks in , wait a minute there behind because of the light leaks . They stopped at 8” from the @ViparSpectra P4000 with no issues . Never grow with house central unit when there either too cold or too hot ! Thalestris is bud site blocking .
Myrina
TDS 460 ppm was 634 ppm Falling
Water temp 76.5 more Z7
Water level down 1 gallon Falling
Ph 5.8 was 5.7 Rising
She’s the one that has two tops 8” from the light .
The manufacturer dosing of calmag hasn’t locked anything out yet . I keep reading these stories on how too much will lock it out and throw away the key . It’s either my cheap nutrients don’t have enough in the mix and or ro water and leds . We have 33 buckets of DWC growing with 100% manufactures dosing of calmag and not one issue. All are on my cheap nutrients, disappearing nicely!

Thalestris
TDS 448 ppm was 608 ppm Falling
Water temp 76.3 bs Z7
Water level down 1 gallon Falling
Ph 5.9 was 5.7 Rising do nothing
Hadn’t done nothing but gave Thalestris legs no top defol , has to happen ? She’s 10”s into the light!

Otrera
TDS 934 ppm was 1300 no way Falling
Water temp 76.8 bs Z7
Water level down 1/2 gallon Falling
Ph 5.7 was 5.3 Rising
That’s my gal she’ll taking over the V 600
Vipar Spectra.
Windows are open but outside temp is steadily rising. Central unit is now on 74 so I closed them , not coming down as fast as I’d like.

Just caught up here. OMG. These are some of the healthiest plants I've ever seen. Your setup is incredible. The detail you present in the journal is stellar. I agree, the plants look better in pictures under the seemingly whiter looking spectrum of the VS instead of the P600. That blurple plant looks so damn cool though. How purple is it in regular light?
WOW man I'm impressed. And they're so damn huge. God. Nice.

Well worthy of the nomination and a potential second GJOM victory. Great work.

Magazine cover worthy plants, WH. Beautiful. How long you been growing? I'm getting the slight, tiny impression this ain't your first rodeo.

Six years back in June , have been here 3 years . I’ve had a lot of help , but I’ve never had this clean of a grow till these 2 . This far in with no deficiencies hasn’t ever happened. Was always afraid of adding too much calmag and causing a lock out . Using manufactures recommended dosing of calmag is the only difference. On my 11th grow with 420 mostly flood and drain, less physical work .

Thanks. Amazing work man. This is my first grow with no deficiencies up to today on my photos, on day 101. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. Lol. I stopped using Cal Mag as a preventative, and now use it only when the plant tells me it needs it. Much better results. It's a tricky one, Cal and Mag, under powerful real LEDs. I have found that both photos and autos, but especially autos, go through those two much more quickly under LED than they do in the sun.

I've been meaning to do a grow like this but still haven't touched Hydro/dwc yet so I'm definitely interested in following along to learn a bit! If it wasn't for 420 mag and the sponsors I'd be still using fox farms line up lol its hard for me to switch from something after I've figured out how to use it!

I really want to try a variety of nutrients. I’ve done three now , sad thing none have been sponsors. I’m watching the prescription blend nutrients it may be my next . These flimsy 6” baskets I got doesn’t help when I’ve got a change coming . I’ve got to find better!

I'm with ya! I still have the prescription blend nutrients to try as well! So far I've used Remo, Geoflora, and thinking about poping open the Purpinator here soon as well to give a grow! I'm pleased with each nutrient I've used definitely game changers..
