The lid looks a little stressed in that one pic, but the baskets seem ok. 4 inch baskets?
Some year in the future I’ll probably switch to square buckets with separate baskets, instead of swapping 6" basket lids between regular round buckets.

It was definitely some stress on the lids! I’m using 3" baskets.

DB Roots are taking off nicely! I was worried about the #2 plant at first but it’s progressed nicely.

Lowered water level today and removed the humidity domes. Bringing the Nute strength of to 100%. PPM level increased to 1300 PPM so I might drain some and add back RO water to get it down to 1000-1100 range. PH hovering around 5.8 to 5.9.

Plants seem to be doing well. Looks like there might have been a slight nitrogen burn when I went from 25% to 100% Nutrient strength but new leaves are looking good. Root Growth is good as well.

Readings from the new BlueLab Pro Controller and AC Infinity Pro Controller.
The temperature reading on my Water chiller doesn’t match the reading on the BlueLab controller. I’m going to adjust the water temp to get it around 66-68 degrees.

the Blu labs controller can monitor PH and PPM???

If you want to call it monitoring. Don’t try multiple Bluelab products in one reservoir because you’ll be disappointed in the readings. Let’s just say they give you a round-a-bout idea of the levels.
I just switched out my old BlueLab Guardian to the BlueLab Controller because the Guardian didn’t have network connectivity. Due to travelling for work, I want to be able to monitor remotely.

Good morning @Retiredoldguy. Yeah, eventually I’m going to get the peripods and try my hand with the automatic nutrient dosing but I’m not seeing a lot of information discussing it.

Yep. It’s another Grand for the peripods. I believe I’m going to wait a while for that. I’m wanting to upgrade my lighting to 1000W LEDs. Got it narrowed down to a few top brands that I’ve researched. They proud of those things too.

You can them on Amazon for around $875 but you’re if not planning to try and go completely automated, you’d be better off with the guardian. They’re around $500 depending on whether or not they come with the connect stick. All it does is monitor with no type of control features.

Ordered and replaced my bucket lids with the Current Culture lids. Not to keen on the little access door though. I’m going to have to cover those holes up. The water staying at a steady 66F but I’m not taking any chances.
I definitely have one plant out performing the other.
DP#1:
She’s been a little droopy. I’m thinking she didn’t adjust well when I introduced the 100% strength nutrient level.
DP#2:
She’s almost 2 full nodes ahead of her sister.
Environmental status:
Nutrient Reservoir Status:
I adjusted the light intensity to try and get the internode status a little further apart. I feel that it should be stretching a little more at this point

morning GNG…grow is looking good…you can expect different growths under the same conditions…right now my Bruce Banner was just topped at the 7th node and 6.5 inch tall and the Gorilla Glue right next to her was topped at 7 nodes and 8.5 inch …do you pay any attention to VPD?
