Yeah, I did E&F for a while, I might try it again since it might be easier on my back. I think *DWC is about as good as it gets, for hydro, in regards to root formation and supporting large plants but, like everything, it has pros and cons. Traditional aero/nft are usually best suited for very small plants and can be expensive. E&F and drip systems are pretty simple though. I'd avoid wick systems...OK, maybe for clones.

Sorry I have been so mind wrecked the last few days in this math class and we are moving into trig and the straight to physics and aerodynamics.... My head feels like it is stuffed with so much information and none of this is anything compared to the math for electrical but that further down the line.
Now for an update pictures tomorrow. SWOG is at 1:3 ratio clear:cloudy trichs still a few weeks to go although I have taken some fluff off looking for its offspring I have to pure skywalker seeds currently. It is also starting to drink water twice as fast even though the temps are kinda low 72/65 ph going in is still 6.7 and 6.4 on the rinse. My kush berry had a drop in ph so I adjusted her water to 6.7 as well and now it is 6.6 coming out a few fan leaves are completely yellow but I have not removed them. Not sure what system I will come up with but I appreciate all the help.

I still see leaf cupping/clawing and signs of that old phosphorus deficiency but maybe those sings won't ever fully recover. The flowers look pretty good though, almost there...

So should I up my nutes? I also have some powdered koolbloom from last grow I use it on my chaotic roses and other flowers outside. Wish I could afford a meter to check ppm/ec but it's just not going to happen right now. The KB is a few weeks behind but shows the same signs and more yellow leaves. SWOG Will finish by the 30 of October. I can't see it taking longer than that and my next grow I will be trying to establish a mother plant from the seeds I breed.

This is what I have:

Skip a few coffees or beers and get one.

Yes, I'd give them 1gram/gallon in addition to whatever you give them now and see how they respond. You can always back off and do a pure water flush if they think 1g/gal is too much.
Growing takes an investment if you want good results.

It does take an investment that I try to make but if the bills don't get paid, the investment fails to even run it's course over one I will acquire everything I need even if it is just one piece at a time. Along the way I will learn from my mistakes and improve my techniques. Hopefully all my journals can help someone from making the same mistakes. 1g a gallon seems like a lot but I'll start there should I feed it to the kushberry and the SWOG?

Yes we have to deal with the budgets we have and even without the investment it's still possible to get good results, it's just harder.
The label says 1.5g/gal but if you think 1g is too much start at .5g/gal. I'd give that to the plants with clawed leaves with/without burnt tips, the ones with purple stems/petioles and the plants with leaves that have the yellow margins that are becoming necrotic.
YMMV...
