Hi schtiggy, it's always fun to watch plants recovering. Of course growing cannabis is not easy at all that's why expert growers are also called chemists. They have the complete knowledge of compounds found in flowers and also know how to manipulate their ratios and strength.
Only an expert can tell a plants health by sniffing its roots. I was reading an article in national geographic and this picture really intrigued me.
Your setup looks perfect now and I hope that you get some decent amount of high out of them. Following basics is very important at least one is heading in the right direction. Temperature is crazy over here these days, its over 80's in day time and under 40's at night- and I wonder how outdoor grows are performing. I will probably check some outdoor grows to find out if their plants are happy or not. I read somewhere that folks in Alaska care less about temperature and nature also portrays the same phenomenon when I look around.
I am lucky that temperature in my grow area stays between 65 and 82 degrees. I also tried to maintain humidity levels between 45 and 60 during vegetation phase. I used 600 watt lamp and irregular light cycles on purpose just to see how plants react during vegetation. I started with root accelerator in week 1 and 2 which was a disaster. In third week I started giving them microbe brew and grow big and eventually the most important big bloom in week 4. I am sure they would have grown nicely if I fed them orange juice instead of all the crap lol.
OP is right, plants will grow easily in ffof and they will not need any nutes for the first 4 weeks. I have tried it under 600 Watts. Plants will also grow in ordinary soil with little bit of nutes and plants will also grow in a soil less medium. In the end it all comes to 5% of THC by weight which we get from plants. How potent is that 5% depends on how we grow.-Chemistry is not about shooting in the dark lol.
