Mistakes and improvements on this grow are:
When I ph downed the North Thunderfuck reservoir I didn’t let it drift up, ended up with deficient leaves that show signs of ph fluctuations.
Not enough K in soil mix but that was easily corrected with fertilizer, thinking less calcium and Mg, cut those back by about 25%.
Fertilizer needs to happen every 3-4 days after the first 30 days, any longer and it starts to show up on lower leaves. To make this easier I think I’ll go with fertilizer spikes, put one or two in the bottom that way they still get disbursed since my goal is to have no top watering/fertilizing done. Fertilizing from the top every three days makes it less SIP like.
I need a better support system for supporting the colas from the five gallon pails, maybe just bamboo taped onto four locations around the pot. Scoping rods would be cool, I can dream right?
