Indoor 16 autos, 5 different strains, bubbleponics, all under 2000 watt HID

Looks like we made the right call! Within 9 hours, they are perking up! Switched the ones starting to flower and put them on one side and changed builds to HPS, and let the other ones stay under MH till they start budding. But, the way it's set up, they are getting dual spectrum so curious to see what they due under those conditions

Checked them tonight.....PH rose.1-.2 and PPMs dropping. Our one Med Gom at almost 50ppm in less then ten hours! But, I've noticed more leaf twisting. Now, some of the PH was down as low as 4.9, but most around 5.3 (nute lock begins around 5.2 so I was in the danger area)...all within 3 days. Knowing PH issues will cause this, hoping they correct themeselves.

One of the Red Poison is suffering from horrible root rot, so dosed with a huge squirt of H2O2. Either she makes it, or flops...was worth a shot. But, here's a lesson on plant disease and how to avoid spreading it....the moment you notice anything wrong within your grow medium, STOP DOING EVERYTHING AND CLEAN YOUR EQUIPMENT!!!! Not thinking, using my Hanna PH/EC/PPM meter, I think I may have spread root rot to the others. Clean your equipment after checking each plant to avoid cross contamination.

Lesson learned

Had a little bit of an issue the last few days....
Thinking under feeding because we started to develop some brown spots on the older growth backed with yellowing of the same leaves within a few days. Flushed everything and hit with stronger nutes and they seem to be perking back up.

Pics to come later

Nice catch, here's some green to keep things growing!

Thanks for the karma, willie! Must be working!

Things are looking up! Ph slowly rising and they have eaten nearly 200 ppms in 48 hours! Green, lush, and hearty! Here's some pics to show ya. Compare the difference in size!

UPDATE:

Pics coming later but we bumped nutes up on our big girls to almost 900ppm ( started running pure tap water that's at 150ppm because of the buffer for PH and working wonderfully) and within 2 days, ate almost 500ppm and drank over a gallon of water. PH has been no higher then 6.3 and they are HUGE! All of the younger ones are really flourishing too. Red Poison 1, the one we had trouble with, is back to healthy and really taking off with a higher nute concentration. No more root rot since we switched to tap water also.

Problem now is, they are drinking so much water, the are drooping to try and cool themeselves down. Temps at about 83 degrees due to less air volume because of plants getting bigger. So, we are going to try and reconfigure the ducting to cool it down more till this weekend when I can get a portable A/C instead of ducting in a window A/C. Getting all this down has been a hassle, but going to be worth it.

The Med Gom 1.0 is going to be a big producer along with the SODK. Just started into preflower last week and on one of the Med Goms, we counted over 40 flowering sites and over 30 on the SODK.

Stay tuned for more pics and an update on the reconfiguring of the duct work

Pardon the ballast interference, but it's playtime for the girls

There's so much action, lemme get my popcorn.... Subbed

This has been a learning experience....

Up and downs from the start. This grow is definitely a learning curve to indoor hydro, let alone autoflowers, but it's been fun. All the terpene smells are coming out and it smells like a damn party in the tent!
