Day 20 of veg quick update
The growth, as tou can see in the pics, is explosive especially in the blueberry and the critical cure is certainly not too far behind. The 2 girls in the back are behind especially the amnesia lemon (back right) whose roots havent hit the bottom res yet!
The blueberry got the FIM above the 6th node (or i should say right at the 7th and 8th junction) as ya can see in the last pic
The ppm was raised slightly to 530 a couple of days ago.
Could it be the sativa genetics in the back two girls (plus the 5 days delay in germinating the amnesia lemon) thats resulting in the slower growth than the 2 in the front (indica and indica dom)??
Happy growin yall ;-)

A quick update
Yesterday I raised the ppm only slightly to 580. The girls are growing fine and not showing any sign of deficiency so i dont need to overdrive the nutes. All but the Amnesia lemon have their roots in the bottom res in the nutrient solution. They can absorb what they need.
Now i checked the height of the girls compared to the scrog screen height, and the blueberry is almost at the screen level and the others still got 4-6 inches to go to catch up. The blueberry will be SUPERCROPPED eventually....but now and to slow her down a little (and also for the sake of preventing the roots from clogging the recir tubing) i pruned the blueberry roots that are dipping in the bottom res. Hopefully this will slow her down a bit for the ithers to catch up. Once they are ready fornthe screen to go up, I'll prune all of their roots that are dipping in the nutrient solution before I start training the branches. 2-3weeks max of training then flip. During those 2 weeks of training the roots will grow back in the nutrient solution. This should also help bush out the roots more before flowering ;-)
More updates and photos to follow tomorrow .... happy growing yall

Day 27 of veg update:
Pruning the blueberry roots didnt slow her down ... lmfao shes a beast as you can see in the first pic (bottom left). The critical cure and trainwreck both got the FIM today above the 6th node (at the 7th and 8th junction like the blueberry) see 2nd and 3rd pics. The amnesia lemon will be FIMed there too in a few days).
Look at the size of the leaves of the blueberry (4th pic) and the critical cure (5th pic)
Anyway so there are changes to the nutrient solution as well!. I removed about a 1/3 to 1/2 the nutes from the res (17.5L bottle) and replaced it with fresh bottle of RO with GH Armor Si at the recommended dose then added Cal-Mag+ at rec dose of 1ml/L. I then added diamond nectar at the rec dose too then finally FloraNova grow at full dose (because i havent run out of it yet. Otherwise it would have been bloom from start to finish). Now I emptied this bottle of full rec dose into the res which already contains half the nutrients in. The final ppm is set at 850 with the pH at 5.6 (after diluting with the old res nutrient solution). I do this so that i dont shock the roots too much plus because I run a live res and I want to keep the beneficial microbes herds in ;-)
Til next update .... Happy growin yall

Today, the Amnesia Lemon roots hit the bottom res finally .... the girls are eating more nutes than available (ppm going down) so i increased the topoff res ppm to 750 and increased the main res ppm to 950 by simply adding grow nutes to each reservoir
Heres a pic of the groom to compare the growth since yesterday
Til next update .... happy growin yall ;-)

Another quick update:
So this morning I decided its time to clear out the groom and put the SCROG screen up.
The roots of the blueberry, critical cure and trainwreck got pruned as ya can see in the 1st pic ;-) this is to prevent clogging the tubing later. But in the next few weeks of veg and flowering the roots will grow back even bushier ;-)
The blueberry got pinched SUPERCROPed at the main 3 shoots as you can see in the pics.
The middle of the screen right above it is all clear for the small lower shoots to fill, as you can see in the last pic ;-)

I've been watching your grow with great interest. I'll be doing my first very soon and my setup will be very similar to yours and I'll be using critical cure as well. Mine won't have a master res, but rather individual reservoirs. How are your res changes done and how often?

Thanks brother and welcome aboard .... make sure ya let us know when you start a journal .... and also let me know if ya ever need anything ;-)
Now as far as how i do my res changes, here it goes.....
The 4 waterfarms are in the tent all connected together in a circle and to the main (controller) res that i keep outside the tent. There is about 35 liters of nute solution in this system circulating.......what I do is ciphon out half of that from the controller res and replace it with fresh solution. I run a live res with beneficial microbes and thats why i leave half the nutes in. Also as they grow and thwir roots fill the bottom res, there will actually be much much less than 35 liters and when i ciphon out thw bottle of 17.5, thats more than half.
Sometimes i flush the system with RO and FloraKleen during the grow and again before harvest. I will just keep removing nutes solution from the controller res until no more recilculates back in .... then ill fill with my flushing agent :-)

Now as far as how often, here it goes here .... IT DEPENDS. During veg i dont change the solution much and id just add directly to it and top it off.
During flowering ill change the bottom res solution (same way as above by removing half or more than half and replace with fresh) every time or every other time i have to fill up the topoff res (which has about 40 liters). In my mind by the time the girls drink the 40-80 liters, there will be a lot of leftover nutes built up that may ultimately get to a toxic level and lock out other nutes. I also dont have set schedules. I like to watch them and read them .... if i notice changes to their growth pattern, i respond with what needs done MORE PAMPERING hehehe more light or less ... more air circulation or less ... more nutes/additives or less ... more frequent res changes or less higher or lower ppm/pH ... etc ya know what i mean? ;-)
