Hello Everyone,
I'm kind of confused? First time grower, doing DWC 5 gallon buckets. Big air pump and big air stone. The Solarstorm 440w LED light system. The last part is where my buddy has gone different he uses a T5 light for veg. I maintain PH balance daily and I've also kept away root rot. He does Not balance daily and has not fully kept root rot away. We are both same clones but 2 week gap from getting transplanted in a thriving environment (taken from clones).
Now his are super tall!!! And do expand out a ways. But very thin foliage(not due to pruning), his roots look like death and very small. Now my plants are SUPER DENSE I feel like I have to prune every couple days because it's so thick. My root structure is massive in comparison to his and nice and white and clean. He's telling me my light is the problem(has veg and bloom modes). But is he really ahead with the tiny root structure and excessive vertical mass?
Cliffnotes:
Veg going into bloom, would you rather have short and super thick foliage 14 and 13 inches tall(wider though) white root growth, or freaking 3 feet tall but sparse foliage just very lengthy and roots that have some obvious bacteria growth and about 1/4 the size of the short ones.
