I would need a close up of either the tops of the plants or nodes where the calyxes come off to see the pistils.

At what age do you think I can step u to 15 minute waterings? I assume the 5 gallon (or 3.7 gallon) bucket would of course require much more water to adequately drench the medium.
>>> At what age do you think I can step u to 15 minute waterings?
I think the sooner the better, as the way I understand it leads me to believe a longer watering time leads to more synergy between res and medium status readings (PPM/pH).
Whoop Whoop!
Congrats sky, you gots a lady there
Before I got to caps pics I saw the same pistol, nice to see and way to go cap!
So sky I use a similar if not the exact timer AG showed you. I run mine for five times at three mins, I like to get some runoff as I feel it helps with the salt build up in the medium. I am going to try a 12 hour top feed where it will turn on when the light kicks on and turns off when its done. Well know then if its possible to overwater in the RockWool mini cubes. So far I cannot get the plant to show me stress from to much. I almost tried my hand at a side by side one organic hydro one reg. synthetics. To much extra equipment to have a second reservoir under the tray, one day I'll try it maybe soon, not sure yet. I've got to finish up some plants and start tearing down equipment and possibly demolishing the cabin so no others can tear it up for fun. Probably will if nothing else let the critters take it over, see what they can grow in here haha.
I'll try my best to swing by more often sky, im sorry I get so caught up in my own remote life I forgot to check in.
Reps for sticking it out
Yeah, I must've missed the 2nd Q. I preemptively added less than the usual 2ml or more to see if prepping the water might assist the buffers in the down to hold on to the downward pull better. The results looked fantastic to start with, all the way up till about 36 hours in, give or take some hours. Then at some point during the night, only being drained for one minute, by 3 times and a night to rest it climbed up to 6.7. The added silica is likely the culprit and next change I won't test the limits again and just stick with the safe 2ml. Adding the drops once again did next to nothing last night. Just at lights on, I checked and it went up to 7.4 so I then added 1/2ml of DOWN, dropped a tenth or two, added 1.5ml came down to 6.8. Added another 1/2 ml and it plunged down to 5.3. Wanting to flush the medium as your explanation made a lot of sense so I went for it with the 5.3. However, while making adjustments, I turned off the "auto" cycle of programmed feed times as adjusting took near 2 hours. Thankfully the Heisenberg Tea had matured this evening at 48 hours and it's pH was 5.4 so I added a little more than 8 ounces, probably more like 12 ounces to really drench the medium and give my new lady friend a nice smoothy of her favorite poison. When I turned the pump on, I cycled the medium as best I can (only outside ring drips or squirts) then changed the cycle to what I thought was the "auto" position, but mistakenly chose the auto that keeps feeding. Still being a little scatter brained from some bong rips that a friend came over and shared with myself and the other 2 stooges, I did not hear the pump pumping. When I discovered this, it had already been 30-45 minutes of on time. I will add just a bit more Heisenberg Tea as I believe the last bit may have washed out and this tea is near peak population or declining and I want to get some bennies in there breaking down some nutes or whooping any ass down there that needs whooping! I left the res to collect it's bearings and checked the levels.
Input PPM - 575
Input PH --- 5.3
Res PPM --- 650
Res PH ----- 5.9
I added my last quarter gallon of distilled water to bring the PPM to between 550 and 600. Now the funny part is that when I go to update my journal, the only news I will have to share is the meter readings after adding the water and a query about some lower branch leaves that I pulled that were yellow with brown and gray necrotic spots because I got way too carried away answering your question. So if you ever want to inform your subscribers of your progress in your grow, please feel free to spill it on my journal and link back because that's my new plan.
