at least i haven't screwed it up yet! it's such a forgiving plant to work with. it has great vigor and is getting about 1300 umols for the 12 hours producing approximately 56 moles per period.
running about ec2 in the recirculating part.
no spots, yellowing, or any other visual disorders. just a hint of tip burn but that's not nutrient-related here. still having rh swinging from about 45% to 65% depending on the weather outside.
for the hydro-heads in the house, i have not removed any solution from the recirculating reservoirs since the first day as a 7" clone.
solution input only. both pools are reading 980 and 1000 ppm respectively. with ph swinging back and forth around 5.7-6.0.
each pool holds about 24 gals at the 3" operating level.
i feed it with a gravity tank (32 gal brute) holding about 30 gals.
last sunday, at the 7.5 week point from transplant, i had to refill both 30 gal tanks for the first time.
that means it took 30 gals of solution each to get them that far.
90 grams of jack's 5-12-26, 30 grams mag sulfate, 60 grams calcinit, 1/8 cup mr fulvic, and a heaping 1/2 tsp kelp powder were used per plant so far.
both the pools and the elevated tanks were mixed at this ratio initially.
because i am now in flower and the nutrient strength tends to accumulate in the recirculating system i mix the re-fill solution at 90% of the original filling.
