Very uniform display, looks like you have them dialed in. I have a question though, when you say they drink two gallons a day, are you referring to your reservoir dipping that much or each plant requires two gallons a day?

Thanks @Addo right now they're drinking about 2g/day total, or about 1/2g each. I'm hoping to get them up to 6g/day total but we'll see. They're in 13g buckets, so there's plenty of root space in there

Date: 8/12/22 - Day# 47 in RDWC, Day# 9 since flip to 12/12
Strain - Barney's Farm Mimosa x Orange Punch photo clones x 4
Grow space - Vivosun 48x48x80 tent in basement
Light height and reading - Vivosun VS4000 400w LED @ 100% 18 Inches away - 55k LUX
Extraction - AC Infinity 6" extraction fan with Controller69
3x 6" oscillating fans + Tower oscillating fan + 12" floor fan
Nutrients - Mega Crop, Voodoo Juice, Pirhana, Hydroguard, z7, Purpinator
Medium - 8" Netpots with clay balls in RDWC system (5x13g buckets)
Water - Carbon-filtered well water (100ppm/8.0pH)
These girls have spent their entire 7 week veg in the RWDC without a res change. I started somewhat low, and increased the PPMs throughout veg. They're just about up to the full-strength 6g/G MC and loving it. I've been peeking at the roots and everything looks great.
This weekend they get a big change. I'll be swapping the res and moving from Mega Crop to Advanced Nutrients. I've decided to start out at 75% of the recommended week#1 flower dosage of AN, just to make sure I don't shock the plants. It's a lot easier to add more nutrients than it is to take them away
I'll also add 15ml of pH down to counter-act the carbonates in my well water. The pH down just brings my water more in line with distilled/RO water. I know AN says no need to adjust or check, but I still feel better the the pH in the correct range
I put the second net up 3 days ago about 10" above the first. I was hoping that the buds would push through there during stretch. Well, it's been three days and the buds are already pressing the second net. They're still a bit taller on the right side of the tent, but with the light crooked the other way it looks like the left side is making a comeback! As they grow into the second net I'll use LST on the first net to keep them from getting too uneven. Hopefully I still have room for the stretch. I had to raise the light about 5" today.
I love watching them transition from veg to flower. I've been tracking them every day, and they are close. I think they'll be in flower by the end of the weekend.
It's supposed to be low 80's and sunny tomorrow. I'm looking forward to a break from the heat and humidity. Have a great weekend and enjoy the sunshine!

Girls are looking great!!! I love your detailed updates too. Does that Bud Factory app work with your Infiniti fan?

Thanks Rhino. Hope you are enjoying this weather we are having, should be better to get up on the roof at least.

Thanks Tim. Yes, the Infinity app tracks temp, humidity, and VPD as well and has a few more graphs than the Govee. The 'Bud Factory' is what I have named my 4x4 RDWC tent

And let the show begin
I can't wait to see these 4 in full swing of flowering it's going to get tight in there

Tight isn't the word, it'll be wall-to-wall buds! The problem is that my light doesn't cover wall-to-wallAnd let the show begin
I MIGHT have something coming soon though....Either way, this VS4000 is a great light. I still want more wattage with a better footprint, but this is the same light that produced over 2 pounds last grow, so I can't complain too much
