@3rd Monkey so you think I should flush and drop my feeding a tad as opposed to bumping it?
I'm not saying it's not mag, I just saw the claw. Looks like it could be mag or ph, possibly a lockout.

How has your ph been and when's the last time you bumped up feed? Have you checked your runoff?

That claw is around a week old, give or take a day or two.

I haven’t been checking my runoff. I need to get back on that.... lol I bumped feed about a week ago and my PH going in has always been 5.8.

That's when you got that claw. Just a bit too much, too fast. Check your runoff ppm next time vs going in and you'll probably be over the legal limit lol.

Do you let it drift? Water?

Yeah I’d imagine the PPM will be stupid high. I’ll flush a gallon through at 6.0 and see what my run off ppm is and then send half strength what my nutes were at 6.0 right after to refill my reservoir.

I’m assuming the reservoir in my plant reservoirs drift. When I checked my drift for my DWC it went up 1.0 over 48hours and I haven’t started daily feeds yet. Just got my exterior reservoir filled and the heater is bringing the temps up.

In the same respect, it could be drifting down. Hempys are hydro, just with more medium. Definitely check your runoff for a few days until it stabilizes where you want it.

Runoff is a funny thing. Every time I tell someone to check runoff, I catch shit for it. Always get told it doesn't matter. If it doesn't matter, why should I check ph and ppm going in then lol?

True story. lol last time I checked like 2-3 weeks ago I was putting it in at 5.8 PH and my run off was at 6.5 lol idk once the external reservoir is feeding daily it should be able to keep everything more consistent.

My DWC reservoir finally stabilized though.

Heres my update on my banana hammock. My other seedlings are stretching more than I want so I turned up my qb288s. Hopefully that helps. My veg space is a little crowded right now. Getting rid of my biggest plant tomorrow so that will make alot of room.
In other news, I just ordered 4x qb96s and 2x 320h drivers to add to my my 8x4 flower space that currently has 4x qb96s. Im super excited about it. Anyone have an opinion on that setup? I might eventually get 2 more to make it 10 in the 8x4. Is that overkill?

I’m waiting on my driver to add my 4th 96 to my 4x4. Buying two more to make it 6 in a 4x4 so I’d say no.
