So glad you came away with something to work towards. Sometimes its what you have to do, get in their face a little, to make them see the bigger picture. So nice to have that weight lifted.
How did the little Jack Herrer respond to a little extra feed.

Thank you thank you thank you!
Little Jack just got his food a few hours ago. Looking very good so far, will be posting some pictures today, is the idea!

How are you doing @bluenoserjoe ?
Will take the time today to look through your grow journal and get familiar with it. I had a quick look... Pipes and things... Reminds about some Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles thing, perhaps their grow room?

Please do. It may look a bit off kilter but it sure is doing the trick. Now I have to go root through some boxes of kids stuff to find one of those tmnt. Been looking for a good room mascot. LoL

It looks great! I love when people are using both what they have, and thinking outside the box. I'm myself not familiar with hydro at all, but I visited the hardware-store yesterday, and recognize a few things from your photos.
Question: is it a fan you have mounted on the metal-piping in picture "DSCN8746.JPG" (Posted on Saturday at 12:45 PM) ?
Yesterday I got two big computer fans that needed to be wired up myself, and next month will be getting a good fan for hooking up with the refurbished carbon-filter. Not really sure myself if I'll go for a 100mm or 120mm fan for the carbon-filter, my gut says it is worth the extra bucks to go for the bigger model, both for power and for sound level.

Answer: yes it is my evaporative res. cooler. Keeps the water temps. below 70f when the canopy temp. is low 80's.
Go for the bigger fan, you won't be disappointed. Also,a speed controller is a great addition.

Hey hey!!
Thanks a lot @GIjose !! It is without a doubt the best grow of mine.
I'll get some more/new photos of the big GG's. So happy with the result, almost time to switch the flip for one of them. The other one (purple) is looking great, ready to have some clones taken soon. It is time to repot many of the girls, so I'll nab a few photos at the same time.
With the help of all you guys, the results have rocketed upwards.
Thank you again everybody!!!!

Ahhh, of course. The water temperature must be a variable to keep under close watch when growing hydro, right? Of course it is in soil/coco growing as well, but for hydro I'm guessing it becomes a bigger variable. And then having it correlate with the canopy temp... Interesting.... I'll be having a blast following your grow. Sorry if I'm blurting out newbie questions... Just interested
Regarding the fan: Yeah, you are 100% right. This fan have two levels built-in, and looking for a external controller as well. Good input.
Thanks!

Update
With the feed raised a bit Monday, I wanted to add an update. Here is a picture from today of little Jack.
The strong bright green/yellowing have faded away into the leaves, and Jack looks gorgeous. It is lacking that really deep darker green, but that is absolutely fine. Still a young girl, and standing under a specific lamp for seedlings/young plants. I've also given very low strength foliar-spray 1hour after feeding, and letting it "soak it up" outside strong light for about 30minutes. Note-to-self: Watch the tips of the leaves so I don't up the feed too high.
Thanks @Pennywise for the feedback (sorry for the unexpected pun) and thanks @bluenoserjoe for checking in on the little lady!!

So, I had some youtube playlist on in the background, and stopped and listened a bit extra on a video called "GROWING EXPOSED S2 EP7: THREE FINGER FARM". I'm not really a fan of the "Growing Exposed", the production is sh*t, with those beats cranked up waaaaay to high most of the time. But, they do go visit some interesting growers all around North-America.
Anyways, around 15:10 into the video they interview some tonto about genes and phenotypes. He says that "we all know that a plant can't photosynthesize if the leaves are purple." Now in the previous 2 minutes, he used tomatoes as an example, so I'm not sure if this guy is referring to only cannabis, or plants in general.
However........ If you look at botany in general, the statement "a plant can't photosynthesize if the leaves are purple" is sh*t.
I took a bit of research trip this morning, and dug out a few papers from Oregon State / Arizona State / Georgia State University had this to say, and they summarized the topic quite well:
"Plants have three pigments that reflect basic bands in the color spectrum. These pigments in combination give us familiar plant colors. Chlorophylls absorb red and blue light. They reflect green light that they don’t need for photosynthesis, so we see green leaves. Carotinoids absorb blue-green and blue light. They reflect yellow or yellow orange light, giving us yellow leaves in the fall and vegetables such as carrots. Anthocyanins absorb blue, blue-green and green light. They reflect red and purple light, hence red cherries and purple grapes."
"Purple leaves contain more anthocyanin than chlorophyll. The anthocyanin masks the chlorophyll so we see more purple. The chlorophyll is still there conducting photosynthesis. Purple leaves growing in the shade produce more chlorophyll. If examined closely, they are a muddy purple in color or even may look green."
sciencing.com had this interesting fact to say on the subject:" Anthocyanins may act as a sun screen so when the plant's leaves turn colors in fall the anthocyanins help protect the leaf to the last second so it can continue to provide energy to the plant."
Plants with purple leaves are also found in more dim/lower-light conditions, found in the undergrowth. They use the purple to gather up more heat and light compared to the green color. Often the underside is purple on the leaves, to keep the light in the leaf, not having it bounce out as quickly as green leaves do. I have included a image of a plant I grow myself with this, called: "Tradescantia zebrina".
So in fact, purple leaves can be just as healthly and good for the plant when including the environment that it grows in. Colored leaves even have added "function" compared to normal green leaves.
If anyone is interested, a good documentary on the history of botany and, I think, it is in this documentary that purple leaves are mentioned as well, is the BBC documentary "Botany: A Blooming History".
I'm always open to new knowledge. Does anyone have any information on this guys statement?
Would this be something complately against the rest of how nature works, and only seen in cannabis?
What do you guys know? Hit me up with some of that wisdom!!

Don't have any input on the topic, but if you're a YouTube guy dude grows show is a pretty informative cannabis show on the tube. They put out daily content and it's pretty laid back.So, I had some youtube playlist on in the background, and stopped and listened a bit extra on a video called "GROWING EXPOSED S2 EP7: THREE FINGER FARM".

Purple plants grow the same as green plants. Green phenos do seem to be more potent overall
interesting reading about the purp,, sure is pretty on a pot plant,,
this pretty purp plant was outside and got hit by an early cold snap,, stopped growth immediately and turned it purple as all get out
this a photo of the same plant, won me some cool prizes from 420 mag,, mostly seeds,, lots of em,,
i did a painting of this photo as well,,
hows that for hoggin yer thread,, ha
oh,, one more,, i have a young jack herer as well,,
sure looks different than yours,,
good day to you friend,,

ok,, one more thing,, an interesting factoid on the purple,
same time as the plant was getting chopped, i tried to make hash or something,, one member was posting on here somewhere about the chemistry of the 'purple', and s/he mentioned it was water soluble,, which i thot was interesting,,
so
i checked
s/he was right,,

Thanks! I'll check that out!
Thanks!!
Oh my Odin, that is a lovely looking plant!! Yeah, it makes sense that it would turn purple, to try and save heath in the plant... But again.. dang, that is a beautiful plant...
Yeah!?! Whats that all about bro!!?
No worries, all good to see some other content... Gave me some slack for todays update with photos!
Give me a few more weeks, and it will be about that size!
Yup! That purple stuff? Called "anthocyanins", and is water-soluble (what I've read). Nice to have some proof from you!
But purple hashish? That is some next-level ish!! Damn!
Thanks mate!! Gimme a few minutes, and I'll upload today's pictures... I had a good surprise...
