Just a quick morning update with one picture, Temperatures during the day have been in the mid 70's with a low of about 65 at night, humidity at max has been 52% with a low of 40%.
The plants seem to be enjoying the extra energy from the 250 watt MH (will be swapped out to a HPS during flowering unless someone thinks it is better for the spectrum from the MH in flower)
Water temperatures are hanging about 67-70 which is about perfect. Hydroguard was added the first day I filled the buckets, unsure if I should be adding back in the system or not. However without delay here is how they look this morning!
Quick update for the evening. Temperatures have stayed stable, one plant which was doing the best now seems to be slowing down in growth compared to the other two. I am sure when looking at the picture it is obvious which one that is, all PPM's and pH readings are nearly the same, tomorrow is day 8 on this bath of water. Seeing how things have not become unstable I may just top off nutrients if needed or continue with adding water.
The roots on all the plants are starting to look like the one pictures however that is from the largest plant at this time.
rite on man I remember when the girls in my system were growing roots like yours! it always shocked me! now I'd probably get eaten if I open their buckets up. anyways lookin great! love the pic of the girls they are getting much bigger!
Plants are getting larger, tallest one is about 14 inches, shortest is around 11. Temperatures have been good, got the PPMs dialed in really well now. I think the pictures say a good bit about how they are doing. On a different note, my current LED light is having some strange intermittent issues, the unit doesn't seem hot but seems to have a few LEDs power off at random times. With that being said I am currently seeing if I can return the light, looking at replacing it with a Mars II 900 or 1200.
Just started flowering today so I have a few pictures to share.
New LED light will be here tomorrow, I decided to go with the Mars II 1200.
Saturday I will likely be replacing the nutrient solution after probably doing a flush.
Yesterday marked day 26 of flowering, the plants are doing quite well. I did a little bit of pruning to lower leaves that were dying off a bit to ensure airflow is good in the canopy. The first picture turned out a little weird with the colors but detail is still fairly clear.
Yes this grow is still active, I have been quite busy but I will certainly take and upload some pictures tonight! They will be day 55 of flowering as well.
Few short pictures for now, more to come tonight after I work with them for a bit, I have to tie up the branches because they are starting to bend from the weight. Overall they are doing quite well!
