Panama Red Death rdwc with MarsHydro fce6500.

Finally a bit of stability seems to be found, ec 1.62.

A week into flower .
Ph falls from 6.1 to 5.8 in 10-12hr. Ec steady 1.62.
The branching phenotypes stretch away while the tighter node plants thicken.
Defoliated a bunch more leaf again.
The little one is back there , it’s the little pot that could.

Good morning .
After achieving stabilization I realized that the water level was not dropping and leaf leaf looked a bit droopy.
So I added 5 gallons of water and lowered my ec to 1.38. Ph steady at 6 will the water going down now and perky .

Day 11

Thick and dense to the right. A thinning will be on order soon.

Strung a string across to give the other pot the best chance to thrive.

Ph solid at 6 , ec 1.43 water falling.

While trimming the hedges early this morning I noticed something interesting.

I think there hairs on those extra leaves.

I have gone through and trimmed off a bunch to thin it a bit.
Will dump nutes tomorrow as two week transition has elapsed.

Also come across another different looking leaf.

Good morning for these ladies. This is day 15 of flower.

Over the past 3 days I have had many of my lower branches trimmed away to try and concentrate on what’s in the top 12 inches of the canopy.

The last few times I never cleaned away so much but surely in the long run this was right decision.

Nutes changed , ro with calmag to .1 ec and then base bloom to 1.3 ec . Ph 6

Enjoy the weekend

Good morning.
Over the past few days I have had some work to do.
A couple males to my surprise.
So a snip here a tug and yank , channel locking the stem and most all the root mass is removed .
Definitely not what was planned but make the most of it.
Small puff balls should be on there way.
Moved my fan across the other side so that this bigger lady has some room.

Enjoy you day.

This is how those with dirt do it, just bring out here to take a look.

Most cases impossible but in the rare case.

Looks ok , get back in there to bloom well once I get that stem pull out of there.

Panama Red Death is starting to show signs of flower , 19 days in .

Ec1250 ph 6 , hotest flower spot is getting 650 ppfd.

Eating a bit each day 20-30 ec .
Ph rises a point per day with the missing nutes.
At 1.14ec ph 6 .
Bit over 10 gallons used this past week.

Very Nice. I never liked silica in hydro since it doesn’t mix well with a lot of the ferments I run. But your stems are saying it’s working. You build your RDWC system though?

Yes I did build my system.
I ordered cc bulkheads and the botanicare bard fittings seem to be the best I have seen to date.

Pretty much my entire question. What size pvc are you using? Are you having clogging problems?

It was kind of cool to see your leaves perk up when you lowered the EC. They are looking awesome man, I have a feeling this will be some killer bud.

I have 3 inch. The only place of issue is the return line from the t at the back. I have seen a significant reduction in flow near the end of my grow.
The waterfall in than case helps keep things moving as much as possible.

It really does amaze me when things are adjusted and it’s like boom , what the hey.

Plant response in hydro always amazed me,nice work!

I also run two pumps , the main for flow and then a bit smaller for my falls, which is t’d and plumbed with shut offs , so that I can also use it to pump out most everything. The cc buckets are nice but too pricey with there bottom that would allow for a most 100 percent removal were I might have 2 gallons in the ribs.
