Welcome to the forum @Ed43758
You’re doing very well I see from that picture. I’ve been using GH Flora trio for over 10 years. I remember back in the ‘80s back when I was in college and reading Ed Rosenthal’s cannabis cultivation handbook. How times have changed since then.
I’ve also followed Dr Bruce Bugbee and his lighting classes at Utah State University.
And Harley Smith and his insights into plant nutriention and hydropontics.
To the Quantum Biology of Photosynthesis.
Just an update
They’re doing a lot better since raising the nutes and lowering the water level. I dont think im going to use the 10in baskets again. Seems like there’s a lot less room for nutes and oxygen. The buckets only have about 2 gallons in them now.
One of the bigger plants started drooping the other day, and i found one root grew extremely long and bunched together growing algae. The rest look normal and are branching out. I cleaned the algae off, and it doesn’t look like it was rotting yet. Now im wondering if i should cut any of the root.
Thanks again for all the help, theres a lot of great info in those videos
I have trimmed the roots a couple of times when first begining. I add hydroguard now it seems to work good for me. The problem with hydroguard that it is kinda expensive, and the shelf life. I also use 16 gal totes and 4 in wide lip baskets. The water stays more stable and roots have more space. I use air 2 stones in each tote. I am setting up another tent now. If you like i will post pics
Yes please post pics. I trimmed the roots on the worst one and ended up losing it. The other 2 that had root rot i was able to save by soaking in 5:1 water/H2O2. I also started using hydrogaurd instead of the king crab. It seems to work a lot better. I added some rapidstart and the new roots look good. The one plant that didnt get rot has blown up. These 10inch baskets in 5 gallon buckets seems like theres way too much hydroton then whats needed. Im going to try the totes next grow
