The clones are continuing to put on some nice healthy growth. And it looks like the roots on all six have grown down into the reservoir so I'm expecting an absolute explosion of greenery over the next few day.
On Saturday I noticed there were some clear solid particles floating in the reservoir - probably pieces of damaged root that broke off. Just to be safe I added some Hydroguard to the nute solution. The particles were almost all gone when I checked this morning.
Adding the Hydroguard has created a minor complication. It looks like it's upped my PPM by about 150, but I wasn't smart enough to note the TDS reading before I added it. So I don't know exactly how strong my nute solution really is right now. I'll just have to gradually increase the nutes until I start to see burn, and then back them off a bit.
Reservoir temps are being problematic too. It's been unseasonably warm the last few days and my reservoir was up to 82F Sunday morning. Fortunately it snowed yesterday, and the res dropped to 77F during lights off. I was planning on firing up my ghetto res chiller yesterday, but I need to flush out all the hoses with some bleach water before I hook it up. Unfortunately, the roommate struck again - she decided not to go to church because of the snow. So I didn't get a chance to work on it. Hopefully this afternoon I'll get that done.
Pics - better color this time
. You can see the healthy new growth coming in although the tips of some of the "new" leaves are showing some damage still. I think it's because they had actually started growing while the plants were still nute starved. And yeah, there's a plant missing - not sure how that happened lol.
