Everything just looks perfect from the neatness of the build of the grow room build to the plants to the u-scrog.
Itās very much time for me to go full hydroponic again and figure out what products to buy to change NPK through the grow cycles instead of the easy 1 part nutes that donāt work well.

Sounds great @Pedro_Bann , I will certainly help with feeding when you make the changeover : )
And thankyou for popping over : )

How hard/soft is your tap whatās itās ppm ? Just out of curiousity @Pedro_Bann : )

It should be fairly soft being harvested rainwater I would think but I am getting about .2 EC from memory and Iām thinking thatās because the gutters were full of leaves when I bought the place leaving tannins in the water.

So you will be needing calmag ?

Well I have the mag but not the Cal 
Iām not sure if thereās a calcium supplement that comes by itself?

Most calmag has n in it from the calcium nitrate used
This will change the ratio of the base nutes
In stretch / flip I use canna calmag agent 250ppm 0.5ec , I add it to a 1/1/1 balanced type feed ( can be 20/20/20, 12/12/12 etc or close ) these two combined at a total 1.1 , now the total mix ratio becomes a 1.75/1/1 ish , pushing n from the extra coming from the calmag
But in flower we need to lower n in feed so you also have to find a way to make or find a calcium mag substitute that has no or very little n in it , I use canna cal mono and canna mag mono and epsome for mag and sulphur
You will also need some extra iron in the mix because of your soft water , I am the same less than 0.1 ec tap : )
After that you need to find a 1/2/2 type or 1/3/3 , and at week 5 onwards your just bumping up ec with canna pk till week 8 , then find a 1/2/6 type for the finish
Hope that helped

Yep that has helped alot thankyou. I do have calcium nitrate from the Jackās lineup but I couldnāt find a useful way to use the calcium without the ton of nitrogen. I will look up the Cana mono suppliments and also some iron and the right bases for each stageā¦ itās well and truly time I put some effort in!

The 1/2/2 that I use in flower with the pk , I also use it in veg buuuuut I use the canna calmag adgent with it and turn it into a 1/1/1 ish or close , just thought I would give that example too : )

Was chatting in message and thought I would put this in here too : )
For getting seedlings to branch out : )
A really good tip : )
After you top , remove all fans from middle of main stem , leaving the two at the top and the two on the very bottom to act like pumps kind of
The removal of the fans will force the plants to grow more leaf mass to match its root mass and the only way it can do this is to now branch out , so most power now put to pushing branching : )

Wow! What an awesome thread, was completely unaware of this mapito method youāve come up with, I am about to build a second much larger bloom room and was going to go with soilless (coco) as Iām more familiar with that than any other. But I must say Iām completely intrigued. And love the idea of the huge totes and reusable products. If you donāt mind I may pick your brain in the near future as Iām truly thinking about giving this a go . Also I have used canna nutes before also with great results. Only stopped using because my go to store stopped carrying them back then.
