Gelato DWC SCROG (first hydro grow)

The clone on the right refused to root, pulled it and looks like there might have been some root rot and recovery so roots didn’t search out the water line and got stuck in hydroton. It now lives in some dirt in a small pot with bondage on my balcony and seems to be recovering. Will not be following that one anymore. FIMmed the top a couple days ago to push the bottom of the plant, might need to clear some fan leaves. Aside from that, the magnesium deficiency sorted out and the remaining plant is taking in nutes and throwing arms like crazy. But as the nutrient uptake began I have what looks like some nitrogen toxicity, not terrible as the leaves aren’t shiny and no claws but I diluted the solution a bit as ppm and ec are still very high compared to everyone else. I have not fully sorted out what my solution ratios are yet as there have been adjustments to bring it into range and ppm and ec are very high so next res change I will not mix nutrients for the whole solution but perhaps half and dilute the rest with hydroguard at full strength (using RO water). So far I have used no buffers and the torus hydro perfect ph stick appears to be doing its job because no matter what I put in there the ph is 5.9-6.1. Having a fungus gnat issue stemming from another houseplant (studio living) so I need some BT spray for the hydroton and some dunks for the res. Also the ac for my building is out and had a couple 100 degree days, managed to keep the tent under 86 but really need that to come online before that is the norm again. A reptile fogger replaced the tiny bedside one I crammed in there in urgency, has a 4L capacity so I can refill daily as opposed to three times. Also the hose outlet allows the unit to be outside the tent. Also replaced the two 15lpm pumps with EcoPlus 795gph (almost 100lph more). Have to say the design on it is a little sloppy from an engineering standpoint, the power cable comes directly out the bottom between the rubber feet and you’d essentially break it to get it to the point the feet actually make contact so it walks around. I made a base to run the cable under and mount the pump firmly and am making a cover with mdf and dynamat to kill the sound which isn’t terrible but I sleep 15 feet from it.
