Bro! You got really really good circulation, Im telling ya if you keep res temps under 70* you dont need any zyme of any kind, Id use the Nector sparingly, maybe 2mls per gall and then maybe bump it up if things look good, when you start aerating some of the zyme products and sweetners they tend to foam up pretty quickly.

Im running straight gh 6 m/ 9 B and 5mls Kool Bloom, and 5mls Cal mag per and my tubs could not be happier.

Btw Im really really interested in these Recirc DWC set ups, Id love to get one going!!
Its my new dream!!

I wanna use 15-20 gallon Brute Trash cans though, Wheres the best link to these set ups and parts list?

Good luck Bro!:passingjoint:

I dont know! I never said that!! I never mentioned roots?
What i said or meant to say is this. Way to much aeration with zyme products or Sweetners cause foam! Thats what I said. this isnt a guess, Ive seen it with my own eyes several times.
ANd if res temps stay in the 60's that slime cant grow anyhow!! its a win win!
btw a couple capfulls of h202 per 20 galls kills any slime off as well. And a plant with micro slime on its roots droops, looks unhappy and growth comes to a halt!! Just my 2 cents.

On a very general rule when leaves go up there is too much of something going on and the opposite when turned down. Not that it matters a whole lot but it does when dealing with Calcium how did you go about mixing your nutes? When you add cal-mag how much does that raise your ppm? Does part of your lid come off,if not you might want to do so. Another small problem in your design is that foil reflecting back to your stomata if you work on your lids I would work on that.Normally your plant should have covered it by now which is why I did not mention it earlier.JK

FOR THE MOST part your plants dont look too bad. it is uncommon for iron deficiencies. and you are using gh 3 part with micro so you should be good.

keep this last res goin for a week or so, what is ph? what is ppm? what istemp?

give the roots some time to establish more, and for deficiency to correct itself.

if it was an iron deficiency your water change with fresh solution should fix it.

iron is very difficult to use and diagnose, one capful can kill your plants. avoid the whole iron deficiency way of thinking asap.

I see a yellowing in your mid leaf but not in your new shoots. Your shoots are too green for an iron def. Run your formula thru a nute calculator. Then we can check on your ppms. I am not familiar with the nectar but you seem to be using a lot of it,almost more then your base nutes. Could be just a watered down product, but we will know when you run your calculations.
You should have a first aid kit before you even start to build. When you can get some N,P,K,Mg,Calcium,Iron is separate bottles(do not need much Pt of each.) Then if you have a problem you can use a floral spray on a branch to try to figure out what your problem is.This is a way to dial in your girls much quicker. Just keep good notes.
If It was me I would do a floral on a branch 3x a day at 1/3 strength with just your base nutes.See if you see any changes.
I think most have seen pics of plants by people like Zoo with no blemishes.(He makes us all look bad, he is no chemist he just loves his plants) Then they over react when they get one.
Just cut the opp side of your plant about 4-5" then pop rivet a hinge on or drill small hole for pop rivets later and just use wire ties now. Those who design dwc with no access to the roots will Always regret it later. JK
Your plants should be growing a min of an inch per day right now. In my first 2 weeks of a flip I get about 3-4" a day avg over those 2 weeks.
