Day 35 Aero Tent. Drained and filled tote with flower nutrients according to GH feed chart, medium strength @ 1000ppm + CalMag+. Solution pH 5.5 to allow drift for the first few days. Temp of water for res change was 70.5f, added 2 ice bottles to bring reservoir temp down to acceptable range.

Day 37 Aero tent. pH readjusted to 5.6 (down from 5.9), temp 64f, reservoir temp 64f, RH 45%. They've hit their stretch. I readjusted the lights yesterday, and will likely have to raise them again tomorrow. They're drinking over a gallon a day still.
Day 25 Soil tent. Temp 74f, RH 60%. Watered and fed (first time) today according to GH Flora schedule at medium strength ~800ppm plus CalMag+. Feed solution @ pH 6.5. No additional training at this time.

Day 39 Aero Tent. They're stretching upwards almost quicker than I can manage. I had to move the lights up 2 times yesterday and the top of the Gelato plant still managed to get a teeny tiny bit of sunburn. I think I caught it in time for it to be an almost non-issue.
Topped off the reservoir with 3 gallons of nutrient solution yesterday. GH nutrients @ week 1 flowering levels, 1000ppm, plus CalMag+ @ 5mL/g.
Temp 68f, RH 45%, reservoir temp 64f, pH 5.6
Day 27 Soil tent. The untopped plant has shown ***. No signs on the main-lined plant. Both looking healthy after receiving their first nutrient feed, maybe a touch of overwatering on the main-lined plant.
My next decision in this tent is when to drop the SCROG net on them. Right now I'm seeing 7 tops on the main-lined plant, and 5 tops on the LST plant right now. I fully expect them to bush up over the next 7 days. I'll probably drop the net in the next couple of days to keep everything manageable.
Temp 70f, RH 55%

Day 40 Aero tent. Added 3g of nutrient solution last night. That's 3g in 36 hours. Definitely going to have to keep a watchful eye. Backed off the nutrients as I noticed ppm was up and pH dropped a point. Fed @ 700ppm according to GH nute schedule for flowering at week 1.
pH 5.8, reservoir temp 62f, RH 50%, temp 65f
Day 28 Soil tent. Dropped the net. Everything moving right along with both plants. The both seemed to respond quite well to being fed for the first time a few days ago. I'll continue feeding according to schedule.

Day 41 Aero Tent. I am having an issue with pH dropping and EC rising since I switched to flower nutrients. I drained and refilled the tote with fresh nutrient solution @ 950ppm flowering nutrients according to GH Flora feed schedule, and CalMag+ at 5mL/G. pH'd to 5.7.
I took some root system pictures while I was in there. Everything looking healthy down below, and lush up top.
Temp 67f, reservoir temp after change 69f (2 ice bottles added to lower temp of reservoir), solution PPM including CalMag and pH down is 1900, RH 42%, pH 5.7

Same here, I used to do small shallow water culture hydro, which worked well. More recently, been simplifying and went back to dirt.
In keep it simple fashion, am using Ocean Forest. That said, I am wanting to try hydro with coco and buckets, hempy buckets, or whatever.

Day 42 aero tent. I guess I got what I kept hoping for...upward stretch instead of outward stretch. The Zkittlez plant (furthest from front) has more than doubled in size in the past week. It's just starting to show more than preflowers. The 2 very different gelato phenos (front and middle) are more fully in to the flowering cycle. The front most plant didn't put on too much of a stretch at all, but the middle one is still stretching up. I was a bit concerned that the Zkittlez was going to need to be coerced in to flowering by adjusting the light cycle to 12/12, but that doesn't seem to be the case, it just had a long veg time.
Temp 67f, res temp 64f, pH 5.7, RH 45%, res PPM 2000. They did drink 2 gallons of water since the res change 30 hours ago. Still closely monitoring reservoir levels.
Day 30 soil tent. Temp 70f, RH 65%
