I got some pics of bloom A and veg. Only had a brief visit, but I corrected the bloom res by lowering ppm from 730 to just under 600 and nudged the ph upwards from 5.7 with some silica. Also swapped the veg res. The new mix is at roughly 350ppm and ph to about 5.6. The heat and humidity is becoming an issue, so I will need to work on possible remedies. The Arduino seems to be able to maintain for up to about 3 days before it shits the bed and freezes the relays to their state at the time of failure, and does not transmit any sensor readings. In most instances, simply resetting the power gets everything working, but not always. Being as though I have all the major devices on mechanical timers, this is only an inconvenience to the situation and of course an ass load of frustration for me. I am convinced I damaged my board, but I may also have code errors.
After the veg photos were taken, I removed the lower spindly twigs from the larger 2 plants, and took a major top from the one that still has a central main trunk. I am very pleased with the way the other 2 are growing as when I topped each, their side branches were already reaching outward, so when the auxins were then diverted more into the top set, the natural course left me with a very spacious skeletal frame for buds to hopefully one day inundate!
