The big girl is for cloning? Or she's going into another tent for flower?

It looks like the clay pebbles are multiplying on some of them buckets lol

Big girl is an auto I have nowhere to finish. It's been neglected and now it's looking so good I can't bring myself to cull it.
Right now the plan is to keep it in there till the other tent finishes up in 2 to 3 weeks. Not a great plan but it's all I got

Yeah I tried to cover the drip rings to keep algae down. Next time I'll bury them deeper from the start.

Hey a plan is better than none. Not all are good but without bad ther'd be no point in a plan at all.

no worries man, was just poking at ya, havin some fun
i couldn't stop looking at all them clay balls, no homo! lol

plants look good! always exciting in the beginning, seeing them take off

I looked at my chiller again, and i realized i have a slightly different build than you, mine is more cube like, i think my last one that i gave away to a friend to start up looked like exactly like yours and was a beast for sure, no complaints

No offence taken at all....I've worked shipyards and construction, my skin is thick and sense of humor sick. So poke away my friend if we can't laugh at ourselves someone else should.
Looks like the controller and the fittings are the same....I'd bet money they came from the same factory. Good chance the insides are identical too.
I'm happy my clay balls could entertain you, no homo!

Picked up a ph/ec meter on a deal. Found for $129 the rest are $228 on the low side. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P266G6P?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title only 1 left at this price. Calibrated fine and reads the same as my Bluelab...for now. We shall see.

Hey bud that internode spacing is pretty big. Are these sativa leaning?

How much total height have you got to work with considering you max light height and the necessary gap between light and canopy?

I’m a little worried for you that you are going to grow into the lights if this gets away from you trying to flower and veg at the same time. The light really should be closer to the seedlings right now. It would shorten the internode if it was most likely.

I wish being sativa was the issue!
They are autos that were gifted to me from a private breeder and I don't remember lineage I'm sure stretch is from lighting.....I've been working on other solutions for big girl but coming up stuck for a few more weeks. I really figured I'd have some issues and have to restart at least once. lol or twice!

Big girl is a Bourbon Berry auto from Twenty20 and only seed I had of it sooo I really want to give it a chance...even at the expense of the new girls.
I'm hoping in a couple weeks I can get it out of there and have enough time for the others to still fill in a bit.

Find 5 objects [boxes,buckets...] of equal height and raise up your hydro set up if you can.
It will make a difference.
They are all looking good~!

I like the idea but lifting the buckets means lifting the plumbing too in this case. Which takes away the center for big girl sadly...I played with lowering her but it shaded the seedlings worse. Since their autos I think I'll be fine...they'll fill out the corners for now and have room to expand right around time for stretch....I hope. I can chop on them some if they get real crazy.
This damn Bourbon Berry better be worth it!

The Bourbon Berry is stacking nicely while the poor new girls stretch to the moon. They've been topped and are starting to look a little better......going to be interesting to see what happens when the BB is out of there. 1200ppm(700) and 5.7 this morning...ppm has been static for a few days and ph is rising .1/day right now.

 

[Driver77]

I'm at 1300ppm(700) and ph is stuck at 5.8 everybody seems happy and healthy. Won't be long and new girls will be flowering!

Look healthy AF

New girls are about to start preflower and are filling in the rest of the tent finally. I figured out the new girls are SOS autos by Sawney_Bean

 

[Driver77]

Today in the rdwc auto tent.
They got a shot of fulvic acid and kelp for beginning of flower. Topping off every other day now as they consume more. They look great so keeping things where they are for now 1400-1450ppm(700) and ph I let drift from 5.6 to 5.9 over several days before knocking it back down with either addition nutrients or ph down.

 

[Stoneyluv]

damn they caught up to size quick man!!!

Had to take a peek at roots....holy shit!
