Looks like they are about ready but just don’t take off. Is enough mist filling the whole tote or is it just at the general root area? Are you after more of a fog effect or misty shower?

And having the rooting chamber fill with a proper "cloud" is important, I meant to include that. Sorry.


And properly dissipating timely for another "ionic cloud"

Causing a "breathing" notion with the roots

Oh fuck, I'm going drier 30 seconds now, and then I'll try to be patient and properly observe the results and change again.

Again, too much hypochlorous acid could also be killing off some roots, if not for dryzones

Not sure entirely yet.

Thank you Zen

These genetics could just suck dick too, lol

Fuckin' flat sexy leafs.

Contradictory ass grow lol

It's been actually running around 14-16 hours veg at 150ppfd weak ass plants, slow growth and miniscule root system.

Can't even veg at 18 hours at 150~ppfd something is wrong.

Going to flower and be done with this failed, terrible growth rate.

So many variables to consider.

Gotta try again and make better adjustments, probably have to buy more shit for a true hpa system, besides just doing it wrong possibly.

I'll grow fat colas when I get it right, for now I need to master the root morphology system development.

@Aqua Man got up to 80 or 90f running sterile, dwc?, smooth sailing grow no issue.

And that's a good point too, or important variable, i've been trying to run a little cooler, but my canopy stays around 75-81 with lights on, I suppose the chamber gets to 70-77 F from the Ambient and then cools a little when mist comes on, been keeping the door cracked too instead of shut to keep it cooler.

Yeah was as high as 83-85F running live with o2 injection. Don’t think it would work without o2

 

[Aqua Man]

Up top is more brown, and it does seem to be coming down the root rope some, but new root growth is still coming out solid or transparent white.

Gotta be careful and precise with my hypochlorous acid.

A hit of h2o2 wouldn't hurt but im out.

Little more lateral branching


I think the main problem is my AVERAGE mist is just barely small enough droplet size, and then my W/D cycles.

Adding another pump might just solve that, and then get solution, environment, and W/D cycles dialed.

Think to long between spraying

Hehe

Cleaning the holes.

Of course when I win, I win the garbage seeds,


Gonna drop what's left of the fritter dawg, and then rest with some of my seeds from the blue container

 

[Observer]

I gotta fix that....I fell last week on it lol.

 

[Observer]

That brush is great

Inducing a controlled water deficit to assess plant recovery and resilience, now that I can do this Easily.


12:30 AM irrigation off.
77°F
66%RH

As of 12:45

 

[Observer]

The big ones were drinking from bottom, I cleaned and dried out that out, lol oops.

This one though....is not having a good time in a matter of 30 minutes.

 

[Observer]

1:10 AM

little ones root was getting dry, misted for 5 seconds.

Now let's see how fast it bounces back.

 

[Observer]

1:15 barely 5 minutes later, 2 minutes in it was already gaining its pressure back.

 

[Observer]

Will do the bigger ones, next time, and to a more stressed state.

 

[Observer]

Rinsing the system out, when i took the nozzles off and watched it ran , bunch of crap came out

1 gallon hot water and little soap

2nd gallon water and hypochlorous acid/pool shock

3rd gallon, cold water.

I gotta fix that....I fell last week on it lol.

Looks like a hard hit. About the size of your head.

hit It right below my neck lol

Setting the irrigation up for this black tote.

 

[Observer]

I was going to stack the totes for a bigger root chamber, and use thay to that for more runoffspace and drain from there.

but alsothought about going "hybrid" and using the bottom tote as also the resevoir for dwc roots when they grow down but not sure if I wanna mess with all that right now
