Finally finding time to sit down today, spent the whole day in my garden for the first time. Holy cow, this 4 site system is a lot more work than I am used to!
Anyhow, I was able to pull the two younger plants out of the system using Moe's Cannabis Caddies but because I have been so buried in life, I was unable to get in and do what needed to be done on Thursday, which was defoliating a bunch and changing out the res. Did all that today but as a result, the two older plants root ball was too big to bring out with the Caddies, so had to crawl in and do them the ole fashioned way, lol, shoulda seen me.
Got the res drained out and the new pump from Steam installed, works great, thanks again bud! Started out with ppm of about 100, still not sure what is contaminating my RO tank. I did half strength medium feed from the GH chart with ratios for early bloom, that with the calmag and AgSil16 got me up around 700, a bit more than I would have liked but 600 above the starting water I did not think too bad. I do know they looked super happy before I manually turned off the light tonight. I was also surprised to see that after doing some other work in the garden, a couple of hours later I checked the water level and they had already drank a full gallon in that time, I was pretty surprised to see that! Everyone was praying pretty good when lights went out. I will check in the morning and see if perhaps I may need to dilute the res some, I'm trying to get used to running lower ppms this go around, thanks guys who helped me figure this out!
Looks like my very helpful wife found me an iphone 11 for a pretty good price so once I get that ordered and here, I will finally be able to control this light. For now, I am just doing it manually, 8 and 8 it's gonna be.
Here are some photos from earlier today with a couple of before's. Thinking in 3 or 4 days you won't be able to tell I did anything!
