Introduce her to dolowater for her outdoor gardening. It gets immediate results and is really easy to apply. Especially if she deals with compacted soil.
Outdoors with real biota in the soil the calcium will cycle much better, so a dose in early June and another in late July is usually all that is needed. A shot of prilled gypsum spread over the entire garden after full harvest or immediately after the spring thaw also makes for much more flavorful veggies.
Will do! Speaking of that, I have to get a vessel to bubble in! The churn is coming to this grow.I haven't been out to the hydro store since before Thanksgiving. Last time I went in they gave me a pack of Mass Medical seeds to try.

I really need to buy Rev's new book. Is the churn much more than airstones in a bucket?
He uses a 1 gallon pitcher and keeps adding to it as it depletes.

Thanks Azi, does he use airstones?

Quick question about water cloning, I just had a wrench thrown in my gears a few days ago and dealing w it has forced me to have to focus on clones. I have been experimenting with water cloning to create a system that involves as little input from me as possible. I am water cloning in a black cup w 5.5ph water and I don't have a airstones. Can I supplement the oxygen by lifting clones out of water and letting it hit air for 2 or 3 mins then place back in water? Or can I put a straw in water and literally blow bubbles lol just curious because at 2 weeks I've noticed some clones have small roots starting and many have little bumps where roots will start. If I had a airstones I think they all would have roots and be ready for soil at 2 weeks or 2.5weeks. is there a way to get air in water w/o airstones ?

Ahh I was thinking calcium, only because I was thinking about the pot drenching to get the calcium activated which causes the nitrogen burn. At least that's what I think happens

Azi has crayons...... Jus sayin'...Ahh I was thinking calcium, only because I was thinking about the pot drenching to get the calcium activated which causes the nitrogen burn. At least that's what I think happens
Maybe I should have azi draw it for me and post a picture for his 4th picture ever... Just saying are we still sure he's not just a figment of our imaginationAzi has crayons...... Jus sayin'...

Yes, hence his term, The Churn!
I get the attraction of the simplicity of water cloning but I never had very good luck with it.
You could add H2O2 to the water as that releases O2 as it beaks down, plus it will help kill off any anaerobic nasties.

So I'm finally able to sit down and look at my plants. I busted out the IR gun and found out my leaf temp is about 5 degrees cooler that the ambient temp. This is after 11 hours of lights on. Would turning up the lights increase the leaf temp, I have only been running at 80%. I could lower the lights also but I was thinking I'd let them grow up to the ppfd. They are running at about 550 ppfd and I want to start building them up to head into flower.

I usually try for this for a few days before flip
and by the time stretch is over, if you can't lower room temp to 76 I would try for this
So yes, If if were me I would start increasing light.
They will grow quicker so they will naturally get closer, and usually during stretch I need to actually turn the light down again, but if you can get a 2 degree offset before flip that's ideal.
Brix should climb and watering will increase as it comes together. I'm usually around 750PPFD at flip.
Watch the leaves tho, you don't want to go too fast. Start with 100PPFD more and watch. If after 3 or 4 days all is well, increase it in 50ish PPFD increments until she's dialed. If you have some kelp then now would be a good time to use it as it's a destressor and will help her as she accelerates.
As long as it's all dialed by the end of stretch your good.
This is my ultimate target, but I rarely achieve it. The beauty of VPD is you can flex it around to get the same outcomes with different scenarios.

You could change the water daily to refresh the dissolved Oxygen.

If they start to stress at 1.43 then your roots aren't ready for flip yet, dial them back a smidge and wait a few more days.

I like the straw blowing thingYou could change the water daily to refresh the dissolved Oxygen.
. @4our8ighty0 you should blow thru the straw every 5 minutes around the clock and upload a video of it
At that point you'd be better off getting a battery operated pump lolI like the straw blowing thing
