HPS lights on pic for a change. Analogs still work lol. Starting to fill out her structure. I'm better of this run with learning how to operate the system and sorting all the initial issues like how long can you veg and how much hormones ie root supplements should I even consider running?
I've since stopped all the PGR regiments. Only on soil grown plants from now on. They don't support the the new system design because you don't want extreme root growth with small aero root chambers. It's not needed and only gives me more work for no more yield or potency, at least not with this system.
Only following:
Calcium nitrate 15,5-5-5
Mega Crop 2-part 5-12-26(Jacks)
Magnesium sulfate
Potassium silicate 30ppm
One third the dosage of drip clean from H&G
Bleach 1ppm residual chlorine, every 3rd to 4th day.
I ran in to all sorts of issues the first run but still managed to finish. Looking better this far and haven't run in to as many issues as last time.
TRIA makes it problematic growing in Aero, the root mass gets to big for the mist to support them basically. Cheers!

Do you run CO2 in your tents? I haven't used a any Tria yet this test run , and I have to agree for my self as well I don’t think it’s needed granted I have 5 plants in 1 chamber but the root balls for each are massive and there is 1 of the 5 in each not doing to good I believe at least my thought was the one plant isn’t seeing fresh or as much spray it’s being suffocated by the others getting 3 times the size but yes I’m glad I only am testing the entire system and it’s showed me a lot about the roots also I am getting salt buildup everyday it moves up 200ppm then after it gets to high I do a maintenance by flushing with straight RO actually @Atomizer showed me this should be a regular thing that should be done and he was spot on ... I also mentioned CO2 because I’m having to run my EC like at 1.8-1.9 and then my PH is almost exact 5.8 in 5.8 out if it’s lower it runs PH goes high and if it gets too high into the 2.2ec and up the ph drops to the 5.0 -5.5
