DWC root mass on Special Queen #1 is crazy

Special Queen #1 from Royal Queen Seeds.
Using Maxibloom, Calimagic, Hydroguard and pH down.

Ppms are 800.
PPFD is 800
Water Temp 74F
Air Temp 78F
Humidity 60%ish

This root mass is so big its filling up tge 5gal bucket and she sucked 2gals of solution in 36hrs in week 6 of veg.

I'm thinking of building a backup gravity fed reservoir using another 5 gal bucket with just silicon and an airline tube feeding in right below the net pot

I've grew it a few times great wee strain
50 to 60 days flowering time when I done them in soil quick enough flowerers

Its skunk x big bud x power plant dont suprise me it throws roots down like a beast

Beautiful work! Maybe add 2ml/gal of calimagic to assist with the calcium deficiencies on leaves or did pH go off at some point?

Thanks bro!


I've been giving them 2.8ml of Calimagic per gal and 1 tsp of Maxibloom. Then 2ml per gal of Hydroguard. Then pH as needed. I believe the calcium deficiency happened a few weeks ago as I didn't raise my Grow light and was hitting them with 1400 par. Lmao. I raised the lights to get to around 800 to 900 par.

Issue is the dimmer is not working on my Mars Hydro TS3000. It's only half power at 100% setting. So I had to flip the dimmer bypass switch to get full power but now I have to hope they don't stretch too much.

They are starting to grow into each other and the weird Apple Glitter strain from ISC is not growing as much as the others but is preflowering halfway through transition.

Also the Brothers Grimm strain Rosetta Stoned XX for some reason is turning the water acidic instead of base like the othersheres. It's strange as the ppm is the same so she must be excretion something into the water to make the pH drop to like 5.12. It's also why I think her leaf blades look slightly mottled. I started putting the water pH at 6.2 and it goes back down after 2 or 3 days. The other plants pH floats from 5.8 up to 6 4. I even changed her water out with fresh and today it was 5.18 pH and ppm at 850 which is what I've been feeding all 4.
