Supa Freak, Fryday, and First Lady

[Skinnypuppy80]

A little about my setup: 5x5 aci tent, mammoth mint 8 led, fallponics 4 13gal sites w hydroton, and the following aci products hooked up to a 69+ controller- 4 6" circulating fans, 6" exhaust fan, and a t7 humidifier.

Salutations all! Finally got up and running after a 6 month hiatus, stupid life stuff. Got 2 supafreak(1 of which was germed a week later than the rest,) Fryday and a First lady.
I tried my best to sanitize everything hoping that was my hermy problem(had a herm to begin w and never sanitized after.) Over the holiday break I will also try to install a blackout curtain for a window and a floor-ceiling curtain that'll partition the 2nd floor bedroom. I think my bluelab ph pen is on the fritz after 6 months of neglect, not sure if the gh flora nutes good anymore, filters on the ro should be replaced, and waiting on cal mag as well. That all said, the ladies r in the system.

I have not used GH but unless they are real old I would think they are still good.
Do you have a pressure gauge on your RO sytem?
It would indicate if your filters are getting clogged.
It is usually safe and cheap enough to change out the filters before the TFC canister[ the last most important part of filter/ Thin Film Composite].
The last filter should last a couple years especially with only using the system to water plants.
My RO made hundreds of gallons per week and the TFC lasted over two years before the pressure went up.
A TDS meter after the system also would be a good indicator of time to change.
Nice set up there~!
13g should allow you to grow monsters.

Do you have any KCl storage solution? If it's acting out, it may have dried out a bit. Try giving it a good cleaning and rehydrating it with some KCl.

not sure if the gh flora nutes good anymore

i've heard that the shelf life for most nutes and additives/supplements is a year.

I've personally used Orca that was 2+ years old. Mycos though so it's hard tonsay whether or not it worked, but no root rot. Finally replaced that bottle.

filters on the ro should be replaced

Man my filters are just sitting there talking shit. I've needed new filters for a while but still getting my water down to 20ppm so I haven't been in a rush and the new ones are just sitting in the box. I'll get to it.. I swear!

I'll be glad to follow along. I'm a sucker for a freakshow grow. Wild plants.
