Ok, to start the room is a 19x24 and it has 6 1000w adjust-a-wings. it has a gas co2 burner and ppm sniffer to 1450ppms. 2 shitty AC portable dual hose which suck my co2 out when it turns on still. 12k btu each. although the room always has sniffer at the 1450 mark so co2 fills up quick. 45% RH but i had it lowered to 27% figured it was too low. Room is made for 24 plants as per my legal limit. Only had 12 ready lol.
the hydro system is a "oxygen pot" ebb n flow setup. it consists of 12 5 gallon buckets all connected by 3/4" tubing which fills 4 times per 12hrs. the 55 gallon and control bucket is outside the room to keep colder water temps. inside the 5 gallon buckets are fabric pots filled with a rock medium and silica rocks(wont use again).
ok so onto the pictures... they start when i first planted them into veg and pictures are in correct order but are not once a week type basis so just look at time stamp to see growth difference. they were inside a 6x6 tent which were WAY to crowded after week 5 veg but had no choice but to leave them until week 9 cause flower setup was not done. Then they were moved into flowering room finally and lollipoped and stressed from the move with uhaul truck. after, i started having a ton of nute burning issue which were bothering me cause it was killing off new growth. So, i looked at roots and noticed how roots bound they were and the way the system is setup, the bottom of roots are always sitting inside inch worth of nute solution. Ontop of that, the dehumidifer was sucking the water out of that solution so it was pretty much all nutrients. If you look at the picture of roots, the entire white roots section has one of the black inserts wrapped up inside the roots! you can see where fabric pot ends and then the roots kept growing in and out of the black plastic peice until it was now one peice with the fabric pot lol. Finally, I added another one of those black spacers under each bucket so it was not sitting in nutes all time and had more room to grow. I have been updating another thread in general section just to upload pictures somewhere so i figured i would make a beginning to end journal since ive been adding few pictures every few days.
Last pictures where from yesterday and is week 3 day 5 of flower and about 6ft tall. I had to move plants off to side of bulbs rather than under the bulb so wont burn... i see a difference everytime i go see them. sorry for crappy pictures. i try to grab some when lights just turn on before the lines show up.
