Here I grow again

The specs.
3x3 tent
4"fan/exhaust with carbon filter
light: sf2000
Nutes: Jacks (with tap water ppm120's)
dwc: 70L totes

In an effort of constantly improving, I am stating a journal in the hopes of figuring out where I've gone wrong in the past couple grows(its somewhere around week 3-5 of flower), feel free to chime in as I progress and update this tread.

upgrades this grow:
Nutes- switched to jacks 3-2-1 from Advanced Nutrients 3 part.
70L totes from 5 G buckets.
4 plants instead of 2

Goals for the grow-
4 small plants, quicker veg time
trying out a couple new strains as my indica heavy Ayahuasca Purple isn't always the best in the am.

New ladies started April 9:
Jack Herer X Skunk
Bruce Banner 2.0
there are 2 small A.P. re-veging clones in the middle of a small little dwc/cloner
Thanks

Tent all cleaned up ready to grow. Water at 1150 ppm ph 5.8.

Looking a little, down in the back this am, leaf edges a little crispy and curled on back right. I am hoping this is because light too strong( full blast), I reduced to 60%. Almost dark time running 18/6. Hopefully it looks better after work.

Looks like it just hit cold water

that wasn't even something I considered/knew to think about. water temp is at 68 now, but I know it was pretty cold when i started. Safe to think everything should be good to go?

Yup
it happens to me when I fill my cloner and rush to fill it with cuts

It's been a couple days, there is new root growth and they seem to be finally perking up from their cold bath. I will top the two in the back in the next day or 2. With the main plan to mainline them in 8 colas( again this is up for debate). Thanks

been a few days things had been looking nice. So i took off the dead and topped them. LST on my little monster cropped AP.

another couple days progress

wouldn't be a journal if i didn't write down what i did. Was looking at the plants shortly after above photo, decided to re-apply/adjust my lst. this morning they are already facing up.
The current plan is to let them grow another couple days, then mainline to 8.

1150 ppm at that stage ?? I think you'll do better with 400 ppm when I was doing dwc I never went above 400 in early veg

just mixed per directions, unless I'm mistaken. I would like to know what you mean by do better at 400ppm, as it seems that everything is progressing nicely. (minus the mistake of using very cold water to start).

Appreciate the advice

Is that number including the 120ish hard water
You have progressed nicely

I wouldn't go any higher
But you are there
so...

took them down to 8, installed some clips to better tie down the branches. before/after shots

recovering nicely, although one leaf is looking off(back right). plan is to sit back and watch em grow, hopefully.
as of now they are standing at 7" i will let go to 12" and flip.

Nothing to report, tallest is a little over 9”. Happy laddies

Another res change tomorrow, will back off on nutes, with a target around 800 ppm. Tallest 2 plants in the back are just at 11". The front both are around 9". Thanks
