They look great... looks like they are asking for a bit lower RH.
Recirculating DTW in hydroton... can prob run it constantly. But I would prob do a min of 15 min off and few min on. They are at no risk of overwatering only underwatering.
How often are you running it now?
I would do that for say rockwool bit hydroton doesn't really have a moisture holding capacity. I imagine the pump is like 30w most? I would prob do a min or 2 min every 15 min or so?Currently it runs 15min every two hours, on the positive hours (12, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10), 24/7.

I can look more into when I'm done redoing my room of ya like. Im interested to know also but I kinda feel like it could be run constantly with no issues.
They are looking great man.
I usually don't need to go much over 600ppm. Max 800. Hkw is the ppm after a day of drinking? Staying similar, higher or lower? Before any top up@Aqua Man I'm sitting at 744 ppm in the res right now.. think they could do for a bump or is that adequate for this stage?

Yeah then i would go any more. If your not seeing deficiencies or clawing your right where ya want. I would say your at the upper end of that and 700ppm will be plenty.I haven't checked the past couple top offs, but I can only assume higher given after adding 3 gallons of tap, which puts total solution at 9 gallons, I'm leveling out at ~750ppm. My tap is ~160ppm +/- 5ppm. pH swing is a bit much, sitting at 6.8 - 7.2, after every top off. Top offs every three days.

After a couple months the plant will start to shed oldest largest leaves that are not as productive. It will pull some mobile nutrients and stop putting energy into it. So don't hesitate to remove them as they can attract pests.Kind of what I was thinking. New growth is rich, not a whole lot of lightness, old growth is dark. Noticing some spotting on the bigger leaves and a bit of curling, but I'm hesitant to say for sure it's related to pests at this time as it's inconsistent and very very minimal. You only really see it when you're right on the leaf.
I'm just thinking I'm about two months into this run and want to see what I can do to accelerate the timeline to get to flower.
First real hydro run and all. Years of research leading up to this, but feeling there's more I can do. Probably shouldn't keep looking at UC grows either... watching grass grow, and watching grass GROW are two different things.

This is not always the case when you see that but in your case I think thats it.
