1 week into 12/12 P.E. 6000w

So yeah, using lucas formula with some cal-mag an sweet... room is made for 24 pots but only have 12 ready for flowering so for now there is 6 pots under each 3k watts. Sealed with co2. Hydro, ebb n flow.

Roots look bound already? The whole bottom inch of roots are just roots. No fabric pot down there. The system i have leaves an inch of water in buckets at all times. Inside that bunch of roots is a plastic peice that the fabric pots sits on so the inch wide plastic peice is submerged in nutrients whole entire time. They are bright white though an i dont use any roots stuff to clean water.

mb use bigger pots next time? plants look good though. they'll produce nice buds.


edit: i forgot to say pe is one of my favorites. you'll like it too.

Whole room has a citrus smell. Smells awesome lol there isnt even any sized buds yet... these has 9 week veg time. They only have 4 weeks from now on. Nervous how much more they stretch. Just moved them away from under the lights cause they were less than 10inch away from bare bulb... possibly thinking of unbolting the bulbs from the adjust a wing so it hangs vertically cause if it continues to stretch they be equal to bulb heigh or above and then obviously it cant be under the light but on the sides.

Another pic

Few more pictures... added stronger dose of cal-mag for todays feedings.

Nice grow! Question, how does your ebb/flow work? Traditionally its flooded with an overflow but you have individual buckets.. the way I see it, you "flood" through the black vinyl hose and the last bucket doesn't have a elbow and instead a T which recirculates back to your reservoir? If so, please elaborate more as this really intrigues me!

More pics from today. Growth is just awesome... ive been having nute issues cause roots sit inside water always at bottom inch of bucket but i added that blk peice inside buckets so it can sit above water... its been fine whole time inside water but now the roots have nowhere to grow an just sitting in the nute solution. Then the dehumidifier is sucking water out of that nute solution so its real strong nutes that rootshave been sitting in. Hopeing to have solved that issue cause now roots in the air until it feeds like normal.

Only issue i have now is a p deff. Im on flower nutes already and ph has always been in check. Temps in resevior are below 70 and above 55 so thats fine... might add light light MOAB dose for them.

Its a normal ebb n flow system... 55gal drum outside room with control bucket next to the drum. Tubes go through wall and to each set of 6 buckets. So 2 tubes total. One tube per 6 buckets and last bucket has a 90* fitting. When control bucket pump drains it sucks all water through tubes and into bucket an pumps into 55 gal again. Feeds 4 times per 12hr when lights on.

Some more pictures... week 3 day 5 of flowering.
