nice job on the defol bro, It looks like you could take a few more of the fan leaves out of the middle of the plants, looks like its pretty dark down there but it could just be the pics

i mainly concentrated on the middle of the plants in between the two screens, the middle is opened up nice there. i think next round of defol will be from the top screen up. with that ds 350 hanging on an angle i'm getting some nice cross beams through the middle.

thanks for checking on the girls and for all the help getting them where that at.

step up is pretty simple, the rainforest 66 is the main unit. i took the bottom water level tube off and made that connection my return line. the return line(half inch tubing) goes to my controller (17gal tote)outside of the closet. inside the controller i have a 66 sub pump for mixing, from the other side of the controller is the supply line, which goes to my inline 265 water pump, then into water chiller then back to the rainforest where i made a hole just above water level so supply water , water falls into unit. i have two air stones in the rainforest powered by a 20w air pump as well as the vortex sprayer that comes with the rainforest. i made a back up res 17gal tote that connects to the controller via a float valve , but havent been using it just topping off everyday by hand into the controller.
hope this helps, i would be happy to answer any questions you might have. thanks for checking out the girls.

Thanks buddy. Yeah i was almost talked into using the Heavy16 lineup last time I was purchasing nutrients. I stayed with what I knew.
Its cool to see someone on here using it.

Those roots look fantastic Ronnie! I wish mine looked that good.

If you always remember that we're really growing roots, you're knocking it outta the park! Great roots will make a great harvest!

those are the healthiest roots i've ever grown. i believe its the super high oxygen levels in the root zone that is the cause of this.

thanks for stopping by your input is always welcome

did you ever add a booster to your a/c's intake?

Re: My First Grow Journal OG #18 - Scrog - Recirculating Aero/DWC 600w LED Medical Gr

maybe ph needs to drift a little higher?
5.9 is the sweet spot. 5.8 is probably OK, but the plant will be right on the border for some nutrients. Is the res drifitng up or down in between changes? If it's rising, can you let it swing higher before bumping back down?

it is rising, i've been running them a little hot i think my ppms have just been rising and ive been adding pretty much straight water to bring them down. i've decided to add 3ml cal mag to every gal of top of water during the week. if you think about it , if i was using tap water i would be adding calmag to every top off, so ive decided to add cal mag to top off water as well as new res.
thanks hiker i will let my ph go to 5.9 before adjusting.

i appreciate the support.
