Looks good! They should keep doing great with that formula, just keep your PH in check and watch those water temps if you can. Root rot will kill you if things get warm with Hydroguard
Myself, I switched to a steril rez and never looked back. I like UC root because it works phenomenally, but some have found success with cheaper products like regular chlorine or bleach

Jest wondering. I read that gh doesn't give you as much flavor as some other brands.
And I'm after flavor. Do they still have the old cat piss or skunk strain still.thanks

I have not seen much on nutrients substantially increasing or changing flavors when using synthetics.
I know if you add sugars and help the plant build carbs in flower that may be a different story but you don't do that in hydro really
Flavor has a lot more to do with strain, grower skill, and harvesting techniques

Need some more help. All was going well and now this. Still feeding 5ml cal 5ml micro 10ml bloom 2ml hydrogard ro water. Res temps 68-69 room temps 74-78 . The lil plants has struggled since I started the grow. They are 2 different strains should I put them in different resivor. Any help would be really appreciated.

You are doing everything right and your numbers look good yet your plants are sick as hell. That's a stumper. There has to be an answer. Hmmm, what would I do....................I'll throw out some random thoughts. I don't use much SI, I never seem to see a benefit and makes me chase ph. I have never needed hydrogard and my res temps range from 68-74. RO water is tricky but you seem to be using enough cal mag. That 5 ml of cal mag/gal must bring the EC to 1.5 or so right? How bad is your tap water? Ok if it was me I would ditch the SI and hydrogard, mix a new rez with enough cal mag to reach .2 EC and then add 5/10 micro/bloom and make sure the lights aren't too close and then don't even look at them for 3 days while I go on a bender.
