First DWC grow, does this plant look healthy?

Little root update!! Ummm is this good?
also added my new air pump in. I put my two cylinder air stones in as well
As one disk and the bubbles seem to be more intense now. Time to do a little more LST

Looks great!

You think 3 airstones is too much. I spaced 3 along the length of container I thought it made sense. Also added Epsom salts

Hard to say without a vid bit should be fine.

Ppm stable from 5.8 yesterday to 5.9 today. Ppm was 580 last night and 530 this morning. Plant seems to be stretching fast at the beginning of week 2

Still have 3 or 4 branches that are getting completely shaded by the top canopy. They are looking sad

Some new colouring from some of the leaves noticed today. Don’t quite know why. I’ve taken out the cal mag and added Epsom salts since this reservoir change

You numbers are looking good is it the leaves closest to the light?

They are lower than many other leaves

The ph did swing very low overnight. It could be that?

 

[Aqua Man]

Possibly

Don't run it at night... Only need it for lights on. Plants don't transpire at night.

Good bit of advice, I didn't know this.

Nothing should be hitting the canopy... It should be indirect airflow. Basically just good movement of air in the room.

Again, great advice, I think this is what has caught me out @Aqua Man . I have the fan directly pointing at my girls, this might be what has caused the damage.

This thread is a great read.

Looking for some tips... my ph seems to swing drastically from when i mix up my reservoir in a bucket, to the next day. Whenever I add my nutrient solution the next day ph is wayyy off. Should I mix at least a day before and run an air stone in the bucket?

Marijuana pH Levels for Growing Weed: A Basic Explanation

OK I'm going to do my best to explain PH since its something that is for the most part greatly misunderstood and can be confusing to new growers and even experienced growers alike. This will explain why we need both ppm and PH meters to give us informed information about PH This will be a...

Aerating water before will help ensure balanced PH especially if going straight from the tap there will be extra carbonic acid so if you dont the next day or even a few hours later your PH can increase because of this.

Should I be measuring ph directly out of my res or should I scoop a cup out and ph that? Also my ph seems to be falling not going up.
And Tommorow is 14 days in flower, should I switch to full bloom nutes now? Or wait until I’m sure my stretching is done

Little update on the plant. Ph is now stable at 5.9. Went from 550 to around 465 ppm over night.
Plant is getting massive and almost completely filled my 4x4. For 13 days of 12/12 not many buds seem to be forming. But I could be wrong.
