Grow Mediums Attempting 2nd Grow for the 4th time :)

Go with the Bloom for flowering I would say now if you want to "transition" them then you might want to still have some N in there but not more than your P level. Cause if I am getting what you are sayin is that you want to use the micro and the bloom together, I have used them before and the bloom is a good finishing base nutrient without too much salt buildup, you want to be sure to change your rez approx. every 7-10 days(assuming there aren't any problems like a rotten smell or slime) with the rez temps at 70 plus you want to constantly be on the lookout for that stuff, but you already know all that The ladies are looking wonderful and it looks like they are back to happy and healthy all around. Also I LOVE the root zone pics!!!

Here is a picture of my rootzone of one of my beasts on my last grow it was literally so heavy I had to have my girl take the picture while I was picking it up, this was one of the most proud I have ever been when growing, those roots were sooooo big and white and lovely mmmmmmemmmories hahaha. This is why I am upgrading my rez's to 10 gallon buckets whoop whoop! Cause as massive as these roots were I think they ended up getting root bound if you can call it that lmao

Here is a link to the page so you can blow the picture up, for some reason it won't let me post the full sized pic or even the thumbnail that you can blow up. But here you go just in case you wanted to see it's about halfway down the page

I WISH MY ROOTS LOOKED LIKE THAT.
Im realizing a 10 gallon tote or something would be easier since im losing half a gallon a day. All i really care about is yield at this point im shooting for the moon (1lb) i know i wont hit it but it gives me a goal lol. Im gonna wait till sunday which is day 36 and see where she is size wise and health wise. If she is 20inches away from my light at max height i will Drain the rez and switch to Full flower nutes if not i may go half and half.

I dont know how you hit such high PPMS im at 1000 and she barely takes that

I have a theory that if given all the other correct environmental variables you would be surprised what they will take as far as eating goes, its kind of like why fat(or large people I don't know what the PC term is I am sorry if I offended anyone in advance) folks can eat sooooo much. I had a LOT of light and a LOT of air to the rootzone. I always get roots like that and I whole heartedly believe it is due to the massive amount of air that I blast into the rootzone, again theorizing that you cannot have too much air to your roots period. So if you want to hit that magic 448 I would say go get another air pump(the biggest baddest one you can afford and throw it in your bucket)

Also based on what I have seen so far I would say you are looking at somewhere between 275gs and 350gs just on what I see now and if there are no major issues with deficiencies or bugs or somethin crazy. I am not so familiar with this strains potential but you would be surprised what a well run DWC setup can do

What size is your Air pump??? how many air stones do you use? they sell cheap air pumps on Ebay
Listen this is my 2nd grow my 1st was 4 autos in 2 gal airpots and i got an oz off each....So if i hit more then 4oz off one plant ill be excited let alone 8 or 12. unfortunately i cant run 2k worth of lights in a 2x2 tent Id never be able to cool it. My led is running 300 true watts so we will see.

I was running two air pumps 1 25L and one 75L so a total of 100Lpm and I had six buckets, so each bucket had two stones in I think it could have taken more

Sorry for sideways pics whenever I upload using the forum from my phone they rotate

When no roots are in my rez my two air stones make the water bubble like crazy. But now because there are so many roots I notice that when the plant is in the rez I don't see as much bubbling on the surface is that good bad or who cares

go check out my link bro how to upload pics the right way.your girls is looking lovely well done

Derek, that is one amazing bucket full of roots! Was there any room left for the nute water? Congratulations on a wonderful grow.
Jtrain--lookin good and keep it up man. I have used flora nova bloom before, and have found it to be a very good finishing nutrient. Usually I wait until the plant stops growing before switching from grow to bloom nutes, but I think you should follow your own instincts, and your plan sounds good to me.
