She is looking very happy dude.
Shes' pretty good, bro, but she's slightly burned because of my lack of knowledge...
And another week has passed. This was a week of struggling with constantly rising EC despite i added only water. Plant started to turn yellow and that as a sign of N, Mg deficiency. Tea's EC was every day on 1300 and i could not add more of nutes for her so i have removed 3l of tea and tossed that away. Instead i filled tank with tap water and added some CalMag. It also has Nitrogen, so instantly over one day, plant started to go back to green color. Also i have filtered all tea thru DIY biofilter just to remove part of living stuff from there. I have understood, that it's simple - they are populating in my tea, they all are eating and take shit in my tea. This is exact reason why EC was constantly rising. So just in couple of days things got more better, now i know what to do next and in few days will start to slowly kill my plant with Potassium (that's exactly what K does to plant). So, hang on to see what's next!
Im feeding her all this cycle with totally new scheme, depending on my own guess, only with basic measurings 
These roots are freakin' huge, i cant get plant from grow box anymore, roots are covered by air stones, took big part of tank itself... So i can only take a sneak peak how they do, but it seems that they are happy. Tea is totally clear, no small peaces of roots floating, which would be first sign of trouble.
And here is the plant today. Where she's wet - she's after shower with Sugar Royal.
Most beautiful part ahead and seems to be frrrrosty

Sure, there's def of almost everything already
This kind of feeding is too much twisted. WIll surely return to mineral feed with using organics only for protection, but not for farming
Anyway, here is my experimental rabbit today, se looks hungry, burned and tired. Flowers are far from finish but nothing impressive. I will get lots of experience but it seems that i will get not much of a weed... And with good feed this could be monster plant with pile of bud...
Also today tested "what will happen, if i use Potassium humate in hydro?" SO, added 5g of Potassium humate melted in water (its 0-0-12) straight to dwc, it added smth around 30ppms to the tea, but that would be great news if...
If it would not start to foam as fuck and now i do not know what i'll find in my growbox tomorrow It surely will not harm anything nor plant nor bio or any roots, but if it will foam a lot then it's not usable in hydro totally.

Anyway, i have learned several new and interesting things for the future grows, which will surely have all that bio in it. Only that i will be using mineral nutes again and change tea time from time. I love the taste and smell of these small but sweet bud, i'd not ever thought of this quality bud of hydro and had never had that myself. Mother nature is everyhing, man
Here goes some photo from final days
And thanks for reading my report
Will start another one, when new plant will be worth to show already.

Great experiment over all HolyTHC. The yield might not have been what you wanted but as you said you have learned a lot from this grow. Yeah the Tea really helps with making the buds taste better i find.
