Good idea, I'm going to start aerating before feeding Mr. Hempy.

How much ph rise do you get? I see something like 0.1 to 0.2 points per day. I ph down and it climbs back up.
BTW, you once said your MW102 was a little slow.... I reconditioned my probe after letting it dry out, but it was a little slow, cleaning was the solution.

"Make a solution of dish detergent and soak the probe for 5 to 10 minutes. For stubborn materials gently scrub the reference junction and glass with a soft toothbrush."

I do the same. Ph down a couple times during the week. Let it float between 5.8 to 6.3 for my coco.
My mini pump runs 24/7....also circulating thru chiller.

I've been using canna for 8 years and I have found with canna with a bubbler the nutes fall out and sink to the bottom so I have a pump just moving the water around.

And will block my lines. I been thinking of using some sort of preservatives to knock down the growth in the tank. I'm going to order my first bag of megacrop in the next couple of days and give it a go

How much water and what is it's ppm that you are using for your various mixes? Can't tell whether it's lots of nutes or a little without knowing how much water you're putting them in.

Seems like a reasonable amount of nutes then.

How are your temps as I'm seeing some taco happening to many of the leaves. They do that when it's too warm to try to cool down and/or nutrient levels are too high.

It's gonna be a hell of a jungle in there before long. In pots that big the plants are not yet large enough to use up all the nutes from each feeding before you're adding more so I personally would skip a feeding and just use water next time. As you're flipping soon the next feeding just as you flip should have some extra bloom stuff added to boost bud set and bring on flowering faster. That's the way I do it anyway. I'll give a half dose of Big Bud a week before flipping and the rest at the flip then continue that until the end of week 5.

I'm using the Mega Crop too but according to their feeding directions they keep upping the dose until late in flower where I lower the dosage after week 5. I have their Big Up P/K booster and the Rock Steady, K only stuff so will feed a big dose of Big Bud as I have half a 500g can left at the end of week 5 in a week then just lower dose MC and some of the Rock Steady for extra K only. Some sulfur like Epsom salts or maybe MSM or both to boost resin production.

Your plants look pretty good other than the taco leaves starting. Do you plan to actually ScroG them or is the screen just going to be for support to keep the colas from falling over? If the former it's a bit flimsy to be a good ScroG screen and if the latter is too close to the plants by at least a foot or two. After the stretch the colas will be way above that screen and it will need to be raised or a 2nd screen added.

Gonna be a bitch to get to the plants in the back if it's not already. Have you done this style of grow before? I'm not trying to be a jerk or nothing but have no idea of your level of experience. I've done similar grows and it's not easy when the plants are fixed in place and you have limited access to some. Not as many big pots as what you have going on tho so it makes me wonder how it'll all work.

Good luck eh!

Your back must be much better than mine then. I sure couldn't deal with getting down and back there on a regular basis but you know what your doing by now for sure.

I'm looking into setting up some sort of auto watering system just to avoid all the bending and crawling around. Only have 12 going atm but may double that for a flowering room soon so want to do a drain to waste type of setup. There's a sump down in the basement that I could have it drain passively into.

The trimming scares me off big crops more than anything. The arthritis in my hands makes it torture more than a labour of love. :)

Well done!
