Well, I found some flaws in my system that caused the roots to grow too much to one side and make it not drain properly so I think the solution is to have a deeper grow bed. After this crop is harvested I'm going to tear the entire system down because we are planning to move when our lease is...

More from the same batch of pictures. El Fuego Purple Mayhem Durban Poison

I was trimming the shade leaves for a couple hours this morning and the plants are looking amazing. The bigger tent is definitely helping with getting the plants more light throughout. These are little bonsai shears. They're really sharp and I figured they would give a better idea of the size...

Thanks! I'm really happy with how they look, they were going insane though before I trimmed them. They looked like a solid hedge. That Blueberry plant looks better than I could manage to capture in pictures.

Here are some updated photos. I have been feeding the fish Kaytee Koi's Choice and Hikari Gold koi food. I JUST recently trimmed them back and got the majority of the shade leaves out. There is still some cleaning up to be done but I should have been doing it throughout, instead of just letting...

Thank you! It has been far better than I ever could have anticipated!!

They are growing quite rapidly now. My first kid was just born so he is taking pretty much all of my time, but these plants are looking pretty good!

I sprayed some Grow Big foliar on the sativas today while the lights were off for a little over an hour (bottle says not in direct light). The first thing I noticed when I opened the tent the other day though was that the indicas and Durban Poison are thriving! The indicas look like a hedgerow...

This is why I check forums daily, I forgot about this and now I need to go attempt it. I will foliar some Fox Farm Grow Big and probably a few drops of Superthrive...gotta find a squirt bottle that hasn't been used for anything I don't want on my plants hahahah

Yeah, I think that is the major problem that arose when I didn't diagnose the bell siphon quickly enough. Anaerobic decomposition was happening and fouling the water and the Sugar Plum and Green Crack just weren't strong enough yet to withstand it. Although, the Green Crack almost looks like it...

I have been thinking that I should also rework my bell siphon so that I can turn down the flow into the grow bed. Right now the bed cycles about every 3-5 minutes, full flood to full drain. Every once in a while I will get water droplets that seem to be being expressed by the plant and not...

I'm also not sure that composting stems and the old roots in the bed is necessarily the best way to ensure that problems can't happen. I do believe the organic material composting in a swamp is part of what makes them so nasty and not a place for MJ to grow. That part is a fine line of treading...

Those two were the youngest and least healthy with the least amount of roots present when I transplanted them. When I transplanted them I didn't make sure that the bell siphon was working properly and it was basically making the grow bed a swamp instead of a flood and drain. That's when the...

I think they may have some nutrient deficiencies because the curling on the Purple Mayhem and the El Fuego but it has been getting better. There is algae in the tank but I have noticed that as the plants have gotten healthier the algae has subsided. When the last plants were in veg the tank had...

I'm relatively positive that the Sugar Plum and Green Crack are dead, but until they turn brown they get a shot at returning lol. If they wilt completely or turn brown mostly they will be shoved down in to the grow bed for the worms to eat.
