Ya my clones get more. But hey he’s learning and better to be under as long as there’s no deficiency's

Im tryin im just going slow. No deficiencies has to be a good thing. Early on when the ppm got high like 450 in week 2 it defina
Tly burned one strAin and all the roots took on a tannish color. I dropped the ppm and
Everything went back white. I feel my low ppm is to much for one strain. Most people that i have talked to say 500ppm max in the uc. Especially with the air pressure gague

I ran my veg system at 1 ec and the flower system at 1.4 to 1.8. Both UC, veg system was 8 site in the 8gal buckets on 24" center and the flower was also 8 site but in the 13 gal buckets with 60" centers. With 4 weeks veg I was disappointed if each plant yielded less than a pound.
Are you running mixed strain/pheno right now? I mean they look great but I'm pretty sure I told ya you were gonna have this problem doing it that way. U have one plant that can't take the nutes and the rest are getting underfed because of it. I've run a lot of dwc and I don't ever remember being under 500 ppm except for fresh clones. Your doing big things but I'm telling you find a couple nice strains make mother's and learn those strains and that system better by running them over and over. Mixed phenos/ strain runs are always a pain and I've never had them yield as good as a mono crop.

That is what im doing with just the one system with the strains i have to pick from. Cant test one in coco then expect it to preform the same in the uc. So i figured my best bet is to run one system with a few of each to see which ones respond well. Someone said that some plants just dont like the whole roots being submerged gig. Super lemon haze and mk ultra happen to be totally not cool with it. Didnt take much to expose them early when i overfed. Ill have a minimum of 16 of each strain once i start.
You guys it really sounds like lots of people are using more nutrient than they need to. All your higher ppm. Why not feed less and still not be nutrient deficient? I always used to hear dont feed them til they show you they need it. Idk in soil i used light nutrient every water. In ebb n flow we fed strong, aeroflo fed strong. I dont think more nutes will do any good. Imo.

Still reading! but indeed it has, haha! Haven’t gotten to the end but hope everything is working out for you man. You’re living the dream if so.

Yea not going to start weighing it up yet. Lol. Stuff can happen pretty fast in the uc. Its actually pretty easy. Couple things you got to watch like roots clogging lines water temp and dont fry them using to much nutrient and it does the rest.

When’s your predicted harvest time!?

About the 5 of jan or my birthday the 12th of january should be good. The 19th of jan would be about the latest i would harvest. Bet i pull them at the end of week 9 tho. Which the 5th would be first day of week 10. Just depends on how much is there. I saw each strain flowered the clones under t5s really packed weight on in the 10th and 11th week. But when the calyxes are all swolen dripping resin and i have no easy to see clear trichsand most the pistils have changed and it gets that ripe smell. Mmmmm. Seriously cant wait. Its been few yrs since i harvested my own crop. Never as big as this one. Hell not half as big. Biggest flower i have done is 3800 watts. Maybe it was 2800. Cant remember but i think i had 3 1000 watt galaxy and 2 400 watt galaxys. I was at nearly 10000 watts starting out this gro. Already up to 13800 watts of de hps. Much fun much fun.
