You can see the green coming in the veins ,will spread out more by tomorrow. Not sure if it’s the calmag or my ph is better/ stable?
They are looking much better I think your back on the right track. Yes you can use a seperate 5gal.

I would top up and adjust back to 850ppm and let's give it a couple days I think you at about the right ppm

Calmag also?Or just some Epsom maybe?

I think your issue was magnesium before because it's mobile. That or old calcium damage. Calcium will be in new growth. I think the epsom just help balance the ratio a bit since using tap. Your ph is stable which means you will have much better nutrient uptake and less plant stress.

Humidity 45-50% high 75 low 68.
Do you have control to adjust them? 80-82f day and 68 night is fine. RH 55%ish should give you a good VPD and nutrient uptake and increase growth rates.

I'm basing this off LED that's what you are running right?

Since having the new ph pens I’ve noticed every time I reset and re calibrate it’s closer to the number. It use to be .4 low on 7 and 4.2 on 4. Now it’s 4 on 4 and 6.8 on 7. This coincides with the drops.i think what use to read 6.1 now reads 5.8. I notice the sponge in the lid holds a lot i now drain it after ea use.

Yes first time with these 4’ strips led. I have 9 48W ea. There about 4” apart from ea other.

Only way to raise temps is turn my house furnace up. Not gonna pay for electricity to make heat. Gas is cheap Here.
I could add another 4” hose from my furnace duct so ea time my furnace runs I get more. But its dry air

Yeah if you. Can get temps up to 80f and humidity to 55% that should be good for this stage. Led usually lacks IR that warms the leaf temps so we need to runn warmer air temps to compensate.

It should give you a bit of a boost to growth rates

I’ll want to switch to 12/12 on the weekend. I’m already a week behind. You think it’s ok to make the switch?

Ppm was same this am 810 ph went from 5.7 to 5.9. Overnight. When the wife wasn’t looking I upped the furnace got 2 more degrees out of it.
This morning after 5 hrs of on I had 76 50% rh. Going to add another coco plant to the room. Should help up the humidity.

That's a good sign. You are about perfect I would say. Ph is on par now just stay the course and let then recover. How are the plants looking in comparison? Looking for any new deficiencies that may indicate a nutrient ratio issue if none that's obviously a good sign

I’ll zap a bunch of pics tonight. I need to do a bunch of training anyway

So ph this am was up again 6.2. Ppm was 740. So about an 80 ppm drop last 24 hrs. PHed back down to 5.7. I’m noticing when the ph is lower the ppm drops faster. They seem to eat more below 6 ph. I’ll stay on top of that more now that I trust my pen.
Some pics.
Last pic I see more purple stems then usual. What say you guys?
