@Delps8 late reply so I mainlined the plants and every time they would get to the third node I topped and cut a few leaves off to help with growth and energy transfer. I did read about VDP, and thanks for the link. Nice write-up, btw, my VDP stays around 1.02 1.04. I did notice only on one branch some yellow tips, but nothing to be concerned about too much, plus they grew into the light, so I just raised it lol. I did learn the trick of adding just water to fluctuate the PPMs down EC. So naw I'm going to use that open sesame I'm just going to use Koolbloom. Man, thanks for all the information you and @Thurston provided, I'm following you guys. Once I get time to edit all my videos and upload to YouTube, y'all can check out the full process, cause I've recorded this whole grow lol, but I'm never going back to soil lol. I'm thinking of switching to the Lotus powder line, heard great reviews .
I'd like to hear your thoughts on mainlining, if you get a chance.
Nice that the VPD stays right at 1.0. I'm in Southern California so I can't do a summer grow. July/August will be a challenge for you. I looked up "hot and humid" in the dictionary and it showed a picture of Maryland!
I used Fox and Botanicare but switch to Jacks 3-2-1. Bottles are convenient but it only takes a few minutes to mix a batch. The labor is pumping out the res. My res holds 28 gallons so it's really stable (pH and EC) but I have a to run a sump pump to move around that much water. I only do three res changes during a grow so it's not all that bad. You're dealing with a lot of water, as well. Between the totes and the res, how many gallons in your system?
"I'm never going back to soil lol"— I hear ya. Hydro requires more think time up front but there's no mystery about what your plants are getting.
I checked out your "buckets" and "reservoir" and the buckets look like storage bins. Is that a DIY system?

So my system is totally DIY unions for easy disconnect, yes, storage totes, and a trash can for a res lol. Hygger DC Water Pump 800GPH 6-inch net pots 600w Ballast 8-inch exhaust fan for the light. Use a boogie Plus filter for my water. I use a 10,000 BTU air conditioner that's set to 72F that automatically cuts on. I use an AC Infinity humidifier that barely comes on, cause the humidity stays at a consistent 68% highest it has gotten being 72%. The tent stays at 75 to 80°F consistently. My reservoir is 20 gallons. I use a trash can to mix feed and dump old water. I use a drill and a mixing blade to mix lmao. My feed line is GH floral trio micro, grow, bloom, and Photosynthesis Plus, oh, and 20 ML of Mad Farmer oxygenator. I like mainlining, I get an even canopy, even energy uptake, yes, longer veg time, but more tops and bigger yields, quality over quantity. You should try itI'd like to hear your thoughts on mainlining, if you get a chance.
