Girls got their first good soaking last night, most of em wanted water, got all the digis cranked up to 100%. Reservoirs went from 1800ppm to 1550, just from the microherd! Plants look like they want more food, we'll see if this is enough. I've been learning that all plants need to be roughly the same depth in the smartpots to get the same amount of water, too shallow and they get too dry, and vice versa. Kinda tricky business actually.
Still thinking about doing top feed drip with BLumats and gravity fed from the reservoirs, I imagine there would be little to no runoff but I don't think I could do it with the coco chips, they don't wick well enough to soak the ceramic cone. Starting to think I should have gone with regular coco just for the wicking properties, the chips only wick about an inch over the water line, more would be nice but I guess it's ok to have a dry top layer. I checked several pots and the 1" rockwool cubes were moist on top under the chips so that's ok at least.
Jock Horrors are growing like a weed! Trainwrecks are catching on fast and the AK's have finally caught on to the game, but are at least a week behind the TW and two weeks behind the JH. Dammit.
