Drain pan water could get nasty. I could though, I don't worry as much, cuz I have a drainage layer of GrowiT Clay Pebbles as high as the drain holes. I think of it as Base Air Pruning.
Ready For The Boom:)

Nice! I put an inch or so layer of growstone at the bottom of my pot! Seems to be working. I let the girls go without watering yesterday and today to hold out for my ful-humix to show up in the mail today. They seem fine, trichs are showing up quickly now!. Going to drown their asses tonight hahaha

3 weeks into flower, signs of toxicity, I had precharged the media and fed once after Transplant. Fed Calmag Plus, Bud Candy, and Bud Ignitor after that. This feeding was :
1 gal RO Water
2 ml Calmag Plus
2 ml B-52
8 ml Big Bud
PPM 333
Watered to mild runoff.
Hoping to weaken toxicity.
The center plant, entering week 8:
150 ppm Epsom Salt
6 ml Bud Candy
4 ml Overdrive
About 300 ppm. Ramping towards flush.

I think my addition of 1 cup/gal of Ancient Forest to 1 gallon of the Sunshine Advanced #4 is too rich. It's holding water too well. Plants are darker looking than the lime green in previous, but the early leaf twist is still there.

So here is Day 15 of 2 KushBerry and 1 SweetSkunk:
Note the dark green leaves which contrast my lime green in earlier days. I see some overly dark areas, which could be a little magnesium, nitrogen excess. First time adding Azomite, and I precharge with CalMag Plus. Do you see the leaf twist/ripple? Same issue I've had early in growth since day 1. Someone mentioned tiering Calmag, CaliMagic, Botanicare, Advanced Nutrients, then ramp back down to bloom. They vary in Nitrogen, 1; 2; 4; maybe, I guess it matters how much Calmag you need. I struggle from my soil being part coir, but I like it though. You can evenly water and not get waterlogged like pure peat.

It looks like a bomb went off in the grow room.

Grow Room cleaned back up and pulled a clone off each NorthernSkunk, which will be NS3 & NS4. The stems on those will make your fingers smell just like skunk piss. Now time for a drink...

I have the impression that the Veg LEDs we're maybe a bit much, so I dialed them back by turning off the Bloom Switches. I intially left them on because 204 watts didn't seem like much coming from 400w MH, and I lose about 35 watts each when I turn Bloom off. I'll be monitoring for stretch. I have noticed new growth was often reddish/purplish when it intially emerged. I was adding fair amounts of Mag. If I dial these back and that diminishes, I'll know the light was too intense. I have not found the optimum conditions yet, but I have always maintained tight internode spacing and decent growth rates.

I ordered a 2x4 tent. Maybe because I feel like I don't have enough space, and maybe because I'm reading the Entire GrowErr Grows Thread.
