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

Are you using a root stim? there some great looking roots after looking over the thread I see you've had issues but not to worry they lookin good again now.
Just be sure it was chlorine and not the res temps etc good to see you decided to drop the ppms (i would go even lower to maybe 400/500 but I still don't know the deal with GN but i do feel strongly that nutes don't apply only ppms) in the long run I feel you are starting to get on the right track find the sweet spot and remember when she drinks water ppms go up.
All these bumps in the road will make you better at it in the long run believe me on that for that reason I would like to tell you she's going down hill to make you research more haha but in truth given the slime attack her recovery is great, I'm now at the point i can just throw things in the buckets knowing what roughly the ph and ppms already are,when you know what the mistakes are, you learn instinctively not to make em in the routine and throw perfect ressys together in mins . I prefer not to use h202 given the research I've done but that's a personal choice.
good work keep going ;)
I'm sure it was the huge dose of chlorine I had no issues before that happened. I used ra pod start until about week 5. @derek420colorado method of adding more air circulation I think really helped me. Right now she's drinking down from 710 to 670 so I'll leave her there until later if her ppms start increasing I'll bring her down 100. Thank you though for the advice and looking over check the roots of now lol
 
Yeah I'm just finding now that if i leave the water for 2 days it seems to do the trick ,After observing them for ages I kept watching them rise and fall ,like something was bothering the roots ..it looks a lot like a Ph twisty leaf type issue,another thing I noticed is my plants get noticeably taller when there in the zone most people probably wouldn't notice this a lot unless the plants got to bad.so I started waiting longer with settling the water 2-3 days I also make sure when I Ph it I don't go over or under 2+- from where she was. So if I'm topping up or changing the res I check the Ph and adjust it up or down for the new mix by only a variation of (ie. 6.1 down to 5.9) because this also shocks the roots and takes hours minimum to recover from fully and get back into beast zone.
 
She is definitely back on track my friend, I am so glad that she didn't die it makes me happy. Also those ROOTS!!! I can't take all the credit butt a smidge never hurt lol. You sir are the one that is actually putting all the variables together in the correct fashion to get all you can out of her. She is still going to be a monster beast amazon lady even after you almost gas chambered her to death hahaha. I kid I kid, but seriously I am so glad to see that she is going to live after all and not only that she is back to thriving in that super oxygenated water. I would give you some more rep but I gotta spread some around first, keep up the good work.
 
Before work ppms stable at 680
Ph 5.8
The plant overnight went up another inch. I have pulled the light as far up as I can. The plant was 14inches away so now she's 18. I have about 4 inches more if I remove the hangers and tie the light up with strING as emergency but I'm hoping she stops going up
She is 26inches tall the site says she can go up to 36inches..I have a few burnt/yellowing tips but I can't tell if they were there before I screwed her up or not. I have one leaf that looks like it's dying as well 1463662029287214468898.jpg 14636621342511062274812.jpg9

What burnt leaves lol? There isn't any tip burn that I see, there are some rust colored spots on some of the outer edges of the leaves but I really don't see any burnt ones

I assumed the rust spots then om the tips were burning. Cause all the tips have a brown discoloration. The pic that's attached all the tips have a little brown and yellow on the tip what would cause that then

Temp 79
Humidity 45

The tips of my leaves on the upper growth have a weird purple color to them or at least I think it's purple the bottom half of the plant is fine just the top

Looking good. Not sure what the tip burn is. Normally it's some sort of nute issue but it doesn't seem like it's major at this point.
