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

Couple more spots here and there don't know if i should be concerned she's still drinking good. Plant still looks the same size to me sigh, ppms up now started at 1050 last night 1080 right now 1010...tonight when I get home should i dilute with straight ro water down to 900 or should I add all my additives calmag diamond nectar ect and leave out the grow formula. I'm kinda worried she hasn't sho5 out of a cannon yet most people say there growth explodes at this time 20160421_084736.jpg 20160421_084736.jpg
 
So before my update this is what I did.
My plant drank half a gallon of water since sunday. Her ppm was 1050 tonight it was up to 1110 so I took gh full nute schedule and cut it by 80 percent using grow Diamond nectar rapid start Cal Mag which took my PPM down to 1000 pH is 5.8 so we will see what happens
Day 26
Temp 77
Rez 70
Humidity 34
Ppm 1000
Ph 5.8
I can slightly smell her every time I open the 10 prove to me still looks the same but I think it's because I stare at her twice today so I'm not noticing the increase in size you guys let me know the light is still 24 inches above still waiting for that massive boom. Still seeing a couple orange yellow spots here and there on the much-older dark green leaves I still don't think it's anything to be worried about but if anybody wants to chime in feel free

So it smells lol, i see one or two little preflower hairs. Still waiting for the chick to Explode upward. Roots smell great just like nothing/greenhouse. the brown is just from all the nutes. I see a few more spots but it only seems to be affecting the lowest leaves so i guess its not cause for concern(i hope) Anyway PIC heavy update since im gone all day today and tomorrow.

I always expect the stretch to begin anywhere from 20 to 30 days, you are towards the end of that period but still within the 20 to 30. Since we are looking at the plant daily it is tough to spot the growth, I like to take a daily measurement of the height from the top of the bucket to the highest point of the plant. You can expect one or two inches of growth per day until your plant is about 45 days when it slows to a minimum or stops. That is when I switch lighting and nutes to bloom.
I wish your plant was drinking more water, next week it will. Roots look like they filled in from doy 25 to 27. I love all the bubbles in the bucket. She is a bushy one, I'm sure you will see some wonderful bud sites.
Keep up the good work!

Well good that means when I get home tomorrow it should be a big update. I'll buy a small tape measure to add the height into it. Part of me wants the plant to drink like a monster so I know I'm on track but the other part of me is like noooo I like the easier maintenance lol. I use 2 3inch airstones pumped by a whisper quiet 100. I'm tempted to buy an eBay special that does link 600 gallons cause i see everyone else's setups.
As long as I can finish with minimal issues and hopefully get a few zips I'll be happy thank you for watching and weighing in
 
Can't wait to get home. Excited to see if she took off yet. My partner told me yesterday the plant was healthy, 79f was the high and 70f was the low Humidity was 45 rez was 71 and evrry5hing was green. Around 4pm you guys will get today's update with pics. Is it too hopefully to want the plant to be 8ft tall lol
 
Day 29 before Rez change
Ph 5.9 stable
Temp high 78 low 70 average 75
Rez temp 72
Ppm up from 1000 to 1030 [I think I'm close to feeding her right where she wants if I lost a gallon and it only went up 30ppm]
She drank 1 gallon of water since I put in 4 gallons in Thursday so she is drinking good I decided not to drain the rez and just refill her back to 4 gallons. I added 65.0 percent of all my stuff.
5ml of grow
3.5ml calmag
2ml rapid start
2.5ml diamond nectar
2ml hydroguard
1/2tsp of pondzyme
PPM's in my gallon mix were 1150 added it to rez and then added plain ro until rez was 970

New rez
Ph 5.7
Rez temp 70
PPM's 970
Here's some pics. The brwn stuff on the roots is nutrient solution not rot. Rez has no smells and no slime whatsoever.

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
