I was thinking about switching to 12/12 today, but after looking at the plants I decided to wait a couple more days - maybe Monday or Tuesday.
All of the girls are putting out some good growth, and they're a nice healthy green color. Now that they're all healthy enough to support themselves, I went ahead and removed all of the damaged vegetation. I'm amazed at how much they're eating and drinking already. This is the first time I've run 6 plants in this system and I've got a feeling I'm going to have to really work to keep them in food and water. Since they've all grown their roots down into the reservoir now, I decided to shut off the drip feed to cut down on evaporation loss.
Nute concentration is up to 1100ppm. I've been increasing the concentration by about 50ppm per day. Once I see them start to burn I'll back off. I'm hoping to get up around 1350ppm, but that's up to the plants.
Reservoir temps were at 74F as of this morning. Not optimal, but at least it's tolerable. Ambient temps are running 68F during lights off, and 79F during lights on.
The only other note of concern is that I don't think I planted the clones in the hydrodron correctly. This morning while I was pruning them a couple of them actually leaned over, so they're not completely stable yet. This could be somewhat problematic when they start to flower since the weight of the buds might pull them out of the hydrotron. I'll probably have to tie them up when they start to get top heavy.
