Soil you can run much warmer than a res. The plants will thank you.

74 right now is my overnight low if you scroll back a few pics you can see a hot afternoon pic where it has crept up to 87 sometime after x-mas at least 1 tent will return to dwc I use a small electric heater with a thermostat in each tent I've found some that only pull 350 w. I'll be back
 
76.f in the tent this morning tomorrow I'm turning on all 6 cobs they're liking the light I'm developing a liking for this tupur as it's very simple to use 1 qt of nutrient gives me 1" runoff in the drain pan & following day it's gone it does the same with water when the plants get larger I'll increase the volume it's very simple compared to dwc can't wait to compare harvests IMG_2451.JPGIMG_2452.JPG IMG_2453.JPG
 
tomorrow I'm gonna kick the light up to full power the plant on the right was a bit smaller now has caught up these were started pretty small but are responding really good I know this is the most boring part of the grow but I'm just happy to see productive growth IMG_2457.JPGIMG_2458.JPG

Why not cut the wrappers off of the cubes, bury them all the way to the top of the cube, and allow for side growth of the root system? Seems to me you are restricting the side growth of the system.
I'm confused.

I had 6" of roots strait down when I put them in I've done it both ways no real difference at the time I put them in I was debating digging them back up & going dwc

For clones I can see your point.
From seed, I feel it is restrictive for side growth. If I started in cubes with seed, I used to do what you do, but I found out that when you cut the wrap off, there are a LOT of roots running into the wrap, so I cut the wrap, dig a nice hole, and bury the whole cube. If you want to go for DWC in Hydroton, you can always wash the roots off, as I found that will work also. But your plants look good, and whatever works for you, that's cool.
Anyway's, nice work.
Peace out

you have a point & after looking things over I have room to snip the wrapping & raise the tupur about an inch like this plant in my other tent IMG_2515.JPG
 
I took jimdamicks advice & raised the tupur level to the top of the blocks after cutting off the wrapping I added another ducted exhaust fan yesterday & it's just what this tent needed the 6 cobs generate considerably more heat than the blurple light but things are a lot cooler now the plant on the right is growing faster than the one on the left I gave it it's first topping today in an effort to let the other plant catch upIMG_2520.JPGIMG_2521.JPG IMG_2522.JPG
 
Some strains are not cooperative. I think I killed 20 clones of Cherry Pie before I finally got one to grow.

Try letting the soil dry out a little. Sometimes I push mine until they wilt.
 
typically in my experience it takes about 10 days before they start to wake up this strain has good growth traits less than a month ago these were branches on another plant lol ..
