Soil is a mix of mine black cow, worm castings, top soil. it drains very well.
Im on 4 to 5 day watering schedule. I have my water in 5 gal with a air stone.
my ph has stayed at 6.5 to 6.9 all the through now at 61 days.
The only nut I have used is cal mag and i use it every other watering. started that at 4 weeks.
Plants are in 4 gal containers 3.5 to 3.75 gal of soil.
The purple express is 35" in 27" wide

Great looking plants there pops :)

I'm just loving those pinky/purple hues of the purple express.

Lovely lookin AK49 too.

On the Purple Express, I see a few leaves are folded and are curling down sometimes reffered to as the claw, often seen with high Nitrogen levels but you leave look quite a light colour.

Maybe the light colour is due to the camera?

Is there anything you can tell us about how dark the leaves are?

I also wonder do you check your soil Ph?

On the whole they are looking like they are doing the bizz.

Good effort brother :)

Ya that happened around day 40 or so. both plants have the same soil mix of my own. The mix i have use for photo. grows in past. See top part of post for mix i use. I will have to adjust it, for autos. the purple needs less N and more K and P. Where the AK49 is ok with it.
The leaves on the purple are a liter green or greenish yellow. This my 2nd run with it and the leaves are the same as before. The only nut I have used is cal mag. every other water started at 4 weeks. Watering 4 to 5 days.
My Ph has stayed 6.5 to 6.9 this whole time. My water here is at 7 to 7.2. So I have 2, 5 gal with water and air stones.

Tonight I will take some pic after lights go off.

Thanks for the reply pops:)
Sounds like you got a handle on it,I just wanted to give you my input.
Great that you make your own soil, not something I do myself, so it is of interest when others do.
