thanks for the kind words. gonna snap some more pictures tomorrow. they are pretty much doing amazing. we just now got the 1/4hp water chiller so thats going to take a lot of weight off my shoulder.

water has been about 74-75F in the daytime which is unacceptable for us. Ice buckets and cold water helped but with heat of the room it was inevitable. Anyways, water chiller goes in tomorrow and well be down to 67F in no time and I will be smiling as the roots get whiter and whiter.

The roots have already filled the entire 5 gallon buckets and the main roots coming out of the netpots are around 1/4" thick. The stems at the base of the plant are about 3/4" thick with the plants being about 1.5-2+ feet and about 2+ feet wide, topped a few times. The leaves are finally getting to be about 8"+.

We've changed around our original plan and decided to just run a sealed room. This enables us to take care of CO2 more easily and efficiently. A portable A/C will cool the room if needed instead of an exhaust fan. This is going to force us to change around our CO2 schedule a good deal so I am unsure at the moment. We will go through tanks faster but we might go for a steady rate for most of the day, letting it fall once in awhile and letting the room cool down a few times a day, possibly exhausting the CO2 but not as often as before. Well see.

We have had to adjust pH every day because our water is 6.9 pH. However the Advanced Nutrients pH down is so powerful that a teaspoon will drop 20 gallons over 3 points. We pH a little low, let it reciculate (takes a few minutes), then pH again and it stabilizes. PPM is at about 1300 at the moment of veg. They are absolutely positively loving it. Thats 2 parts Grow, 2 parts Micro, and 1 part bloom with Hygrozyme to keep things clean. Pics of the roots tomorrow.

PS. Also built a great new aerocloner from a 3 gallon rubbermaid storage container, little better looking then my other ghetto one. 28 sites with 2" collars. Trimmed the White Widow today at the bottom of small nodes and going to clone them all, throw them into 1 gallons and flower em in soil.
