I confirmed it with the Growtek guy, but I'm going to hook up one of the FM pumps that I'm not using to a 12v transformer plug and a smart socket. Then run a tube to my veg room and use it to hand water the plants in there. That way I wouldn't need two reservoirs. I could use a sump pump, but I like the Growtek kind because they are inline, so I only need to stick a tube in the res instead of the actual pump itself. This will keep the water cleaner, and also not heat it up.

I was also thinking about hooking one of the pumps up the same way, but using it as a waterfall back into the res to replace a wave maker. I had my wave maker connected to an intermittent timer because it was heating up the water. It died not too long ago, so I need to replace it with something anyway.

^They are looking a little heat stressed, which doesn't make much sense. They are also clawing like they are getting too much N, but that's almost impossible. The roots look fine, but they aren't drinking as much as the rest of the plants.

I'm thinking maybe the slab is staying too wet. Possibly because they aren't getting as much light?

They're looking good to me, you're doing a really nice job with these. I've got a little taco action going on under my t5s right now because the RH outside took a massive nosedive.

I take that back, they were turned up. That row is only getting around 600. The center plants are getting around 900, so I don't want to turn up the light much more.

The Money Guns were probably the densest colas I've ever grow. I remember that they didn't stretch much last time and ended up being a bunch of chodes. I wish I would have put them in the center of the plot instead of on the end. I think I just need to veg them longer next time.

This bottle is about a foot tall, which is around the ideal height above the scrog for my setup. Once I get new lights I will be able to double the plant height without worrying about burning the colas. That will be nice. D98DC2FC-A805-4001-922D-8E839A274212.jpeg

The bottom picture is the plot on the right. I need to defoliate it a bit tomorrow for the final time. I think the other plot is okay, so I'll leave it alone until harvest.

I'm dropping the Jack's and switching over to Floraflex. The amount of heavy metal in my part A bucket has been concerning me, and I feel like it's just not that great in general. My plants look healthy and although I'm feeding them a low dose, I feel like I'm going to open up the tent and see signs of toxicities / deficiencies any day now. I was considering going back to Canna Coco AB because I never had any problems with it, but it's expensive, bulky and annoying to use.

Plants are looking good. I keep forgetting to take a picture because I have company at my house, so my gardening has been minimal.

I like and dislike how powdery Floraflex nutrients are. It dissolves 100x faster than jacks, but it also gets blown by my fans when I'm adding it, so I have to be more careful. I can't tell if it'a better or worse yet.

I'll take some pictures tomorrow.
