Thank yah Pitt, she's growing about an 1" a day since the res change, now about 13"
Though I am having some issues getting my PH to not drop off in too short of a time, was wondering if anybody would care to give some insight on this?
I have read pythium, other bacteria, and hydroton to be the biggest culprits.. but roots are good, temps stay within range, and I wash the medium before/after use.
The only other thing I think it could be is light getting through the totes...
Thanks for the input Dawg, Ill keep an eye on the kiddo's. Ive ran this batch of Hydroton a couple times.. have ziploc bag full of stuff I just wash and recycle through... but has anyone boiled Hydroton, or does this cause it mess some shit up..? I could see it going both ways.. lol. BOOM!!! *..mushroom cloud..*Brother Scotch If This Is Your First Run Or Second Run With Hydroton It Will Cause You pH To Do Some Fluctuation.Once Seasoned Your pH Will Stablize Out.I Also Have Noticed That Certin Sativas Under Leds Needs To be pHed Higher Than Indicas.I Start My Sativas Out Around 6.0-6.20 and Let It Drop As To Indicas I Will pH To 5.50-5.80

Luckily my SLH ph was sitting at a sweet sweet 6.2 when I had gotten home tonight, the Tangerine Dream's ppm rose by 30, and ph stayed steady for a full 12 hours... worried Im going to see a deficiency, noticed a couple rust spots towards to the top that I had not noticed before.
Did a couple things as well,
-took six clones from the TD, topped off with about a 1/2 gallon of RO
-LST'd the TD a bit more, tuck fan leaves, and FIM'd it- 13" tall. May be topping.
-added 130ppm of Gro to the SLH, puts it @ 260
Maybe with the combination of physical abuse it's not going to take up as much, ie def?
Thank you brother Fli, firing up another round over there?Nice gear homie.
