So after much consideration I decided to start my own journals in hopes that I might get answers to question Ive had, and to have other people around as pumped as I am about growing. Don't get me wrong alot of my question do get answers but atleast this way every one else can see the problem and hopefully solution(w/ pics) as well.
Here is the setup:

1 Commercial Air 5 air pump
6 Micro Pore Air Diffusers(3 per cooler)
1 Sun Hut Silver LG 2'x4'x7' (actual dimensions when built 3'x4'6.5"x7'2")
1 inch thick foam for top of coolers with 10 3.75" net pots


Nutrients:
Dutch Master Gold Grow Part A
Dutch Master Gold Grow Part B
Dutch Master Gold Grow Add .27
Cal/Mag

Dutch Master Gold Zone
Dutch Master Gold Saturater
Dutch Master Gold Liquid Light


Starins:
LA Confidential Bagseed

wowza this is a sick grow mah brutha. im looking at your pics for BS#3 and it looks perfect to me, if you meant BS#2 as far as the slight color difference, i'm sure it's just genetics because if there was a nitrogen deficiency causing yellowing you would most likely see it in the other plants in the container i wouldn't worry much. your sensi star looks like it got topped for sure, maybe it was an accident but it looks suhweet to meh

im lovin the stackedddd dutch master lineup your plants are guna be raging once they take off and im also super interested in how tht Uncle Ben's technique works out for ya

i'm watchin this no doubt

The lighter plant is probably just the early sign of a minor N deficiency.

Good call on topping. I've done it to at least one plant on every grow and always get a great yield.

This was my first grow, Skunk #1 from Sensi and it pulled about 1.5oz dry when it was all done.

I'm using the same technique on my Mango girl right now and I expect similar results.

Good luck on your first grow! subbed, +rep

I was thinking about buying the DM lineup for my next grow (first attempt at DWC) and this is definitely helping their case.

The Green Crack was bagseed from a friend.

as for an update I moved 3 of the green crack into flower along with one LA. I killed off 2 LA and one green crack for room and they were very weak compared to the others, they are now at 1250ppm and a 5.6-6.2 ph. I also toped 2 of the brainstorms and one more of the LAs. along with 1 of the 4 top green crack.

Ill post pics tomorrow.

yes the two in flowering are now at 2400 ppms. I will now just add ph water as needed, then once a week add zone cal/mag and gravity for the next 4 weeks. then just water for the last week.
the 4 i just brought in Im running Dutchmasters specs on

Wow I know ppl that swear that will kill your plants. I just hit mine on 3/22 with 1900 ppm and I thought I went overboard. But saw no signs of overfert. Wow maybe I havent been hitting them hard enough and they can produce much more? Lets see. I usualy only take them to 1500 ppm max. Where did you hear of this? What made you raise the ppm like this? Did they look like they needed it?
