I still don't know how you do it. How you keep track of everything with all of the different permutations going on.

Finally… he’s back in the room folks.
CMH is up. Asking Sparky to put the LED back in as well need more light than that to express these through veg.

Lol. I ain’t a guy with an eidetic memory. I write a lot of stuff down and label the pots and feed containers. It’s why I spent so much time setting up the nute stations. Each feed gallon is labeled and sits with the nutes that are in it.

Gorilla Cookies
Day 13
Since there’s three of these guys, here’s all three. One is coco/hydro/Cyco. One is coco/Cyco. One is soil/GeoFlora. All three are jamming. Good plant to bet a third of the grow on.
Coco/Hydro/Cyco/2.5-gallon on 5-gallon res
Coco/Cyco/10-gallon
Soil/GeoFlora/2-gallon (may get uppotted)
So far so good.

Its 4200k - missing out to my LED which is 5000k on the cold white band. But yeah the higher the K the cooler the white light and the better for vertical growth. I have a second one but the timer isn’t the full rig so don’t want two of these jolting on at once. I’ll add a little more LED back.
Yeah me neither.
I have notes of seeds on hand and then test/yield results. No notes. No charts.But then ai only run 2-3 nute blends at any one time and then they’re all from the same manufacturer so that’s a whole bunch easier. Same medium too.
Many spinning plates has Jon!

Hydro Setup Activation
And then she was fully on her way!
Here’s the bucket implementation, showing how great my air flow is and the connections. 4” air stone. I filled this bucket with Prescription Blend Week 3 plus CalMag plus MSA. I may have enough left of the PB to get this one to flower. There is about a 1/4” to 1/2” gap between the bottom of the pot where the roots go through and the surface of the water. The little roots poking through will get the tiny bubble explosions splashing on them.
It’s on! Gorilla Cookies is next!

Yup. Once. It produced my personal record auto, 13.9 ounces of jarred and trimmed legit buds.

Flo Gro. GHE waterfarm is the same concept:
It's better to run a slightly higher gap between the roots and the water level from my experience. More is not necessarily better when it comes to aeration, you only need the saturation point of dissolved oxygen in containers. You want to control the amount of water while not over water. You may reach the saturation point faster than your expectations with your plan.
One solution could be to increase the gap and run a top fed pump on a timer if you want to increase the rate of feeding. You're on edge of running DWC and there are many possibilities for errors. Do you run any preventative measures to combat root rot? It might be needed if you keep the solution in the tent and it's not temperature controlled. Problems start arising above 20C / 68F water temps in water cultures.
Cheers!

I don’t know what you call it. I just call it coco/hydro. I change the reservoir weekly as the weeks of the nute chart change. I water the coco at the top top and top off the bottom as required. Runoff runs into the res. Also adjust the ph daily.

Appreciate the insight. The floor of the tent stays that cold as I have an AC unit that blows directly onto each res. (Only the first one installed so far). And with the distance between the floor and the tops, the plants themselves stay 75 degrees at least. I’ve done it precisely this way before and it worked amazingly well. Yes I have a product to keep the roots from rot. And I set the gap that way because right now the roots are barely poking through and I want to be very lightly having the water from the exploding bubbles actually hit them. As they get a bit longer (two or theee days) I will lower the output on the pump, which is maxed at the moment. Less pressure = less bubbles. Again, it worked amazingly well the first time. I’m in. We will see. I am prepared to fail.Reminds me of on of my first hydro systems:

I also already researched chillers, and have found several that are surprisingly cheap. Any one of them is one day away if and when I need to pull the trigger on that. I do not rule it out.
I had to go out earlier and left the last couple of bits like putting the LED back in to Sparky.
Bunch of 2 second power cuts here snd where I was a mile away. Seems to have bust the bulb. Where I was playing pool it went off a 5th time and never came back. I’m so glad I have the LED Running one of these and a 1000w HPS DE last quarter last year with bulbs busting and lights not coming on was a PITA leading to many hours of seed extraction for & Co. I have another bulb. When that’s gone their gone. This one to be fair I’m not sure was new.

Unfortunate but of course you have a backup. Lol.
