hello ! hey yes it did take me a while to understand all the gobbldygook i had to read and mistakes made until learing myself an taking stuff in ! i would say its like learning driving ! the more you do of it becomes robotic like and know the maneuvers an where your stumbling , its when you havnt had a problem in a growing time you mark them parts down more so than the mistakes if you get me ! , have you got cal mag in your res ?

yeah it is becoming a preprogramed ritual lol. i always go up within a half hour window every day. i get 4 days off so spend maybe 45 mins a day for them and half hour between the 3 days i work. just check the levels etc and i gradually fill my 20l tank over 4 days thursday-sunday with 10L, 5L, 5L ph never goes out 5.5-6.1 and rises steadily at 0.2 per day. just realised i read the ec setting(wich i dont really understand) by accident last fill and thought i was giving them 1300ppm. its only 630ppm. tank measured 575ppm after 48 hours. i double checked against my still to fill bucket. does this mean theyre drinking more % nutes than %water so raise the nutes slightly?oh aye, for the last 5 days ive been using
0.5ml/L calmag
0.5ml/L root boost
1ml/L b'cuzz hydro-a+b
0.35 ml/L uni hydro boost. (rd 0.1-0.5) thats maybe somewhere im overdoing it actually. hmm. off to bed now so have to suss it out in the morning. peace put troops.

Aye bud, the more nutes they use the more I'd put in so long as pH still keeps going in the right direction

Sound like you've got the hang of it already

You need to upload videos to youtube or vimeo first then embed the link

sweet man al give it a bash the noo haha just spotted the rest of the smileys wtf?

right lets see if this works then. the end is me trying to show how square the light is with the gt. was pointless lol. ive got another light there too. would now be a good time to put that up? was thinking about angling them in from each side for a while to help reach the lowers. just to give them a wee boost. is that a good idea just now? be about 530-540 tw in total.

theres a little advert for my wonderfuly useful, if somewhat dodgy looking, mars hydro glasses in there somewhere too lol

Those mars hydro glasses do a great job for the camera!
Well we can rule out the light and environment since the other one looks happy.
When you lift the lid does the nutrient solution look to be running evenly through both rootzones? Just trying to rule some things out
I might be wrong but i just think the second one is a much lighter feeder- you find this with plants of the same strain all the time.

yeah the solution is pretty even. i raised one side by 2-3mm and that side ended up dry so must be pretty straight. the poorly ones side does look a wee bawhair drier though. i forgot to take pics again but theyre now developing wee rusty spots on them wich i would have thought was a magnesium def and to give a light foliar spray of calmag to fix? cant go back up till tomorrow now so will have a wee hunt around the web. built myself a wee frame to put over the gt to help with my LST aswell. been a productive day.
