Though the plant is doing well I needed to re-change water
The plant has done well after being given flowering nutrient ratios – I have changed the water due to excess dirt coming off the once soil grown plant. I did not want my only pump to clog and break ; so I changed it cleaned out the pump and water.

Notice the Dirty water I cleaned out last night!!
I also Noticed that my pump wasn’t set to its highest setting not allowing the sprayers to mist effectively.
I have cleaned out my pump notice the dirt residue on the outlet – here are the new white roots being added after 4 days of aero switch.
*** Always check the consistent function of your system pump and misters will from time to time build up nutrient salts that need to be removed.There are special additives to prevent salt buildup but I have never had much problem with it if you clean at least once a month.

Here you can see the plant after sitting in fresh water 1 night

The plant is doing amazing at day 5 - I will next walk you through how much should be added – If you compare how the plant was at the start of the nutrient change into the bloom phase ; you will notice that the ratios and PPM were very fitting and it is showing no signs of over fertilizing. We now know that the plant can handle 1080 PPM of Advanced Nutrients Sensi Bloom. The advanced nutrients calculator is helpful allowing you too change your reservoir size and shows you how much of base and additives you can provide.
** One rule of thumb with advanced nutrients is I reduce it by at least 25% of what they said for hydroponic/aeroponic systems just to be safe and I have found plants don’t need that much food and it will slow them down to provide more than is necessary.
I will now need to add my nutrients……

It advises 60ml of Sensi Bloom A+B …..
**I will only use 6 or 7 tsps each as you can see from the conversion chart 12 tsps would be 59ml.
**You don’t want to overfeed your plants and if they seem a little light in color you can add a few more tsps.
**This says 60ml = 1080 PPM so I will be doing about 650 PPM and watch my tomato plant love it!!
** Note that when adding supplementary products like big bud or any other that you must not forget to add them into your PPM calculations. Do not exceed 1800 PPM with any plant you will only be wasting your nutrients , stunting plant growth and be causing poor produce !!!
I added 2 tablespoons or 6 teaspoons of Sensi Bloom Part A + B….
I now add extra water as is necessary for evaporation compensation and also to help mix the nutrients in the water better. Mixing part A + B causes certain nutrients to become locked out and will cause deficiencies harming plant growth. I am right now only using the air pump , the water pump was cleaned last night and I will not turn it on allowing the plant to receive a chance to so some growing.
** Notice that I have placed some lattice to help support the plant as it will soon only 1 week in start producing .
** I cleaned the windows with Windex and did this to allow maximum sunlight available in the Fall – Oct 22
** The leaves note are much broader and fuller in green and overall cell plant wall strength with how it stands.
