Awesome build! Your attention to detail will definitely pay off in the long run!

Thanks Smokendogcujo, How are you doing?
Back in the lab the plants went on vacation under the big lights this weekend. I moved them because the RH was getting too high in the veg room. There were 17 plants in there and the RH was over 80% so I moved the seven I've grown from seed to the flower room where the dehumidifier (which I didn't need) is but could barely hit 45% RH there. So they are back under the 6500K T5's in the veg room with the door cracked a few inches.
The two fastest growing plants seem to be suffering from some type of deficiency. I've got a little spotting and yellowing on some of the older fan leaves.

hi fixer
Im enjoying watching your garden construction of. What co2 ppm are you running? in both rooms?

Thanks coooper!

Hey unnamedmike, I haven't started running CO2 yet. I'm planning on running it at around 1200ppm in the flower room once the plants are under the 1000W bulbs.

Nom, nom, nom.
Hi BuzzBob, I see your plants are looking happy. Are you getting enough aeration with your system?

I'm amazed at how much faster clones grow than the plants from seed. Who would have thunk? 
Anyone know about these leafs? I have two of seven plants that are growing like this. They look leathery and the middle ones droop. If I knew more I'd guess it's a phenotype.

Are certain prototypes more susceptible to over watering? These two plants look markedly different from the other five. Their leaves look like spinach leaves. There are only 7 fingers on the large fan leaves where the rest of the plants have 9 fingers. I don't know.

Hey Fixer! Sorry, I missed this a while back! Aeration/DO: Darn good question! I do not have { and no-way can afford } a DO Meter. I am hoping as I meet more local Growers, I may find someone nearby that has one I might borrow. I have had my concerns. So, presently, I have an additional g'sized old pool pump cycling, and big-time splashing, water in the Res. With that, I believe I am getting what The Girls need.

Hey! Did you capture any pics of this? Sounds like what I have going... How'd you resolve it?
BTW: Have I mentioned being a Mainer Living in Exile? Born in Augusta, lived in Kents Hill near Readfield. Wife and I are planning a trip up that way late next summer...

Hi BuzzBob, What about using a small fountian head and spraying it into an inverted bucket? Something like this:

I was born in ME and have moved back and fourth from NH to ME, among other places, over the years.
See the pic of the deficiency below. I started feeding CalMg but at the same time I flushed my coco because I was getting readings of over 1000ppm in my runoff. So I was also afraid I might also have lockout. Are you using a calibrated pH meter?

I honestly do not feel I have an issue with DO, what with the agitation being provided. Here's a pic of the Res, with the Return Waterfall and the pool-pump adding additional splash:
Cool! My family left Maine when I was like 6 y/o. But I have fond memories, and my heart certainly yearns for a return.
Thx! I've raised my EC up to like 1.6-something, and will also be re-adjusting the pH. Calibrated pH Meter: Yes, but's been a few weeks since I last calibrated it. I have more powder coming. Should be here tomorrow.
