Thank you! No worries learning is what its all about.
I only rez change when something is terribly wrong and everything else has been addressed(ph/ppm)
My best advice is avoid all the gimmick additives. I always try after"researching" a new product to find the "golden secret" end up fighting root rot.
The base nutes, calmag and foliar feeding+ beneficial bacteria.
I top off and add beneficial bacteria every day.

I haven't used it this go round but have used gff. You add it every day huh. I use gh trio and that's it. I have calmag and gff in the cabinet. I just did a rez change but hadn't in 2 months and it was really clean looking (besides the slight tint from nutes). I wasn't sure how to switch to bloom nutes without doing a full water change.

I do use it every top off since I use tap water and over time i came to a Conclusion. That the water needs to inoculated. After some studies mentioned the water is contaminated at times for several reason. Vitamin c to dechorinate and 1 ml gff.
I use 20 20 20 all through same low ppm .
I mess with enzymes they do work. After 2 weeks street will be clear but they'll mess with ph while they're doing they're thing. Its a roller coasters of hurry up and wait.
To me basically the plant responds and adapts but like everything it prefers a comfort zone. So switching aka changing the chemical soups its used to and adapted to is counter productive. Like I've had sexy as fck bitches and never once phd or water changed. I just keep nutes low and lots of air with quality amazon lights . I come from farming though ancestry dna before I could talk wish with grams in her veg garden for dinner in mexico. Hydro is to me are indoor aztec chinampa gardens

Hell yeah man! I feel the exact same way about changing the rez. Don't fix if not broken. If something is up then do it. I keep mine in 5 gal bucket till vegging like crazy then switch to the rdwc. Seems like if it's gonna have issues it will be when she's young and trying to get a good foothold. It's easier to straighten out a issue working with 3 gallons over 25. Imo. I also use tap it's filtered but not anything fancy so pathogens could still be in it.

I've heard it's either genetics or a different issue. Idk what issues cause it tho. I get them then they go away, then come back, then fade away lol. I have no clue. But it happens on mine when they are doing awesome so I don't mess with nothing, don't seem to mess with anything. I'd like to know for certain.

Def genetics 9/10. But also lights. I push top par to get a deeper canopy penetration. Deficiencies minimal probability that's what foliar feeding is king at.

If you have a plant off to one side of the light you’ll get purple facing the light. The other (shade) side will be green.

I will be looking for this now. Like I said it dont seem to be a negatively impacting thing so not gonna chase it. But if it's light related that can be an easy fix.

I use to freak out about the purple stalks but i learned that its from the led lights. Its basically a sun tan. My stems were purple but vibrant green where the buds were covering it or on the dark side of the stalk. The red on the stem is from the leaves taking in so many photons. It mainly happens to the leaves at the top of the canopy but man oh man is he showering the leaves in light. I gotta try this
