Aiming 400g 3x3 Runtz Muffin in hydroponics. I have poor sight

Phew, transfusion was all that was needed for now. Two days since, both girls behaving well now. Ph 5.8-6.2. temps 27c, rh ~45-50%. I really like this stable environment I've achieved by tuning airflow from the appartment.
Flowering day 12.

Better phenoView attachment 5465474

The recovering one (had yellowed a couple lower canopy fan leaves) catching on a bit. Not so milky IRL tho, pictures won't do justice.

Clones cruising along just fine, binded the lower braches today.
Coming along beautifully
 
Girls are doing good, both now. Ph quite stable around 6.2-6.4, drinking aptly around 2.5L/day. The bigger plant shows some signs of light burn, but it's probably because it depleted nutrients a few times from the reservoir (colourless, yellowing solution came out). Smaller one shows no signs of stress. Nutrients added have been around 8-13-18, ec around 1.6-1.9

Again with the clones.. nothing special happening in the flowering tent.
Six weeks time remain to veg these until they get to flowering tent. It's gonna overgrow so badly at least once. Well, aggressive topping after 3 weeks should do it. Also the main stem I broke came back alive with just a little tape fix. Such resilient plant!

Air pump broke in the flower tent... New one would taken over week to arrive so they were cut. Wet trimmed 1300g, so near 350g. Smaller plant made only 400g, the issue was with bad root canal. The root ball was barely attached. In a few days the clones will find their way to the flowering tent.

I'm missing a strain called The Ultimate by Dutch Passion, gonna order a few of them. Strong hybrid, easy to grow, huge yield. I had nice experiences with it almost a decade ago.

Here a quick budshot of the almost finished Runtz Muffin:

Once again I decided to order seeds from Barney's Farm. This time Gorilla Z (80%indica), Shiskaberry (also 80%), Biscotti (60% indica) and old safe Wedding Cake. Hoping lots from the biscotti, it can take up to ten weeks and is promised to be strong...

Clones went in to flowering tent. These are already taking up almost full space on the 90*90cm, just a little shy on the long ends. Preflowering has been strong a while now so these will begin flowering in a week or so. Theyre healthy now that I've kept the ph at the desired range, no more purpling stems. I kept the ph at 5 occasionally to slow down growth. Just in time since the airpump broke. This time I'll wait a week or two flowering until the next seeds propagate. :eyesmoke: Last go on the Runtz Muffin for now. Anyways, this pheno is beautiful and comes ready around 52 days I'd say. Now they got 45 days and there was about 5% amber trichomes, so alllmost done! These clones will surely do 500 grams in the next two months...

The tent is full this time! Flowering day one, healthy girls. Heavy nutrients early on this time, fresh solution set at 8-16-24. Final defoliation is done and these will ride without the net now. Not too bad stretch, coulda been so much worse.

All good, day 16! Temps a bit high, burning leaf tips - adding small amounts of cool water to balance, works well. Trichomes are a few days late though. Well, the heat wave for this summer is over now and it'll be happy sailing till the end with this harvest... Beautiful plants now that I took even more fan leaves off for the lower satellites to grow well enough to harvest them.

not smelling yet so and so

Quite close to the spectum of the eye on this one

Wow, hefty drunks in my tent! At night, of the day before yesterday I filled the buckets (13L with roots now) and they were totally empty in 40 hours.

Leaf burning has eased and for caution I filled with 80% of nutrients now that temps creep up to 28c momentarily. Lights on at night time. Rh around 45% steady, for the sleep cycle my exhaust fan is on ¼ intervals to ease vpd and therefore to keep ec/ph in range better. Girls are gonna sweat heavy when they wake tonight...

38 and 45 is a VPD of ~1.7

A little higher RH would help with the high transpiration levels, which could be reducing photosynthesis, and your higher temps will reduce the chances of bud rot.

What do you mean 38?

My temps/VPD actually range from 1.2-1.5 (the rh keeping stable 45% but temps going from 24-28c during the lights on period, and temps creep up slowly towards end cycle). I use this chart, staying on the purple range... I don't want to slow them down now!

38? My apologies. That was a typo. It should be 28.

I was using a -2°C leaf temperature offset and it came up a bit high.

"I don't want to slow them down now!"
I just had a peak at your current grow. I don't think that's going to happen. Those plants look great!
