Here is a picture of the rootzone @derek420colorado :toke:Quite busy there and a good tanning from the bennies. Yeah lets hope we get a crazy bush out of that one! Thanks!

Nice! Those are some big ole thick main roots comin out of there, I do have one question though. I think you have made the same mistake that I did for a long time and it comes in regards to the size of your airpump, on page 1 you said that it is a 600LPM pump but based on the bubbles and what I know about airpumps is that you were probably looking at the Gallons rating or the Wattage rating of the pump and not the LPM. If you had 600LPM then your bucket would be literally overflowing with water lol, so based on that and the fact that there is not much scililal root growth(the smaller finer roots) just the big ole giant dreadlocked lookin ones it lets me know that those roots can handle a LOT more air. If you will notice in the picture of my rootzone

how many little roots there are along with the big ones and they are white as the driven snow? I have a theory, and I may have already explained it here in this thread, that by putting about 50LPM into a 5 gallon bucket you will provide more than enough O2 to the rootzone to grow the biggest plants possible. If your pump is a 600 gallon it is probably in the 15LPM range.

This has prompted me to create a New thread in the Hydro section because I am seeing a whole lot more folks growing in DWC and this is the biggest issue I am seeing, is that people aren't using enough O2 to their rootz to maximize the other variables by doing DWC.

The whole reason you want to grow in DWC is to get the most amount of air possible to the root zone. Your grow is by no means in jeopardy but if you truly want to maximize your overall output and quality you will get more air to those roots :) I suggest around 50LPM for each 5 gallon bucket if you can

Bro. @Grim Reefer noticed that same thing also on my other grow diary. The pump is actually 600 litres per hour, not minute. So it is 10 LPM. Yeah you are right that my rootzone could handle more. Last time I was trying to buy that whopper 50 LPM air compressor, the garden store didn't have any. I dont visit that store often but next time I might upgrade mine to bigger one for sure. Those are hard to come by at my location, since they only sell these weaklings. Thanks for your advice bro!
 
Dunno if you have access to Amazon or not but they have a bunch of nice cheap ones. I'm currently using this one for two 5 gallon buckets.
 
Hey there cool grow i just started one myself (autonight queen) well not quite yet as I'm just sprouting ,but then she go's into a 5 gal gonna be one nice ride ;) ,thanks il be watching :)
 
Sorry im so late to this show im subbed.
You are welcome Grimmy! Yeah so far my ANQ adventure has been a bit conserning. Slow start and now I am getting tip burn at 0.9 EC. Last night I lowered the EC to 0.8 because it just seemed even some of the white pistil heads are having a bit of burn.

Lets hope it will get better from here!

Im sure you will be fine, seems like a sensitive pheno is all and maybe a bit particular.
