Looking pretty sweet for a first grow. What fungicides are you using?

Once I saw fuzzy white/grey mold on the coco, I did a quick hand-water with a mild bleach/nute solution while I waited for the DM Zone to show up. I used that for a few days and it seemed to work, but I added a dehumidifier to help with the RH. That first day temps spiked upper 90s in the tent while at work and found brown slime cyanobacteria covering the root mound on the coco. So I ordered some Physan20 and did another hand-water, an eventual weak foliar spray and everything turned around.

So a little overkill I suspect, but a little DM Zone then Physan 20. I think I'll run near sterile from the start for this next round. Starting the seedlings with some rhizotonic then eventually shifting to the dead rez with blumats, just don't know how to best go about the timing.

The GG4 is coming along nicely. Do you lollipop your plants while theyre vegging? Might help with yield, get more top colas and an even, filled out canopy...

Ive used dutchmaster zone before in an ezcloner, it's good stuff. Smells like copper if i recall correctly. Do you think you got mold because you were watering too much, not letting them dry out between waterings? blumats should help with that, once you get them dialed in right, they should keep the coco moist but dry enough to keep them thirsty.

The plants suffered from a variety of cultural issues along the way. I was having difficulty controlling temps/RH in the tent along with the room the tent is in. Already scaled back from a 1000w to 600w, added a dehumidifier, more fans, etc. It seemed like I always needed something else, adding things along the way and the plants suffered because of it. As far as the Blumats, I actually had things on the dry side and was hand-watering plants in the veg tent and they all had it.

One harvest down and getting ready for the next run, which I suspect will go much more smoothly. Failure or plain experience are the best teachers, I must have read thousands of posts and felt that I had a decent understanding. Which I think is still true, but "only practice makes perfect" as they say.

I lollipop and selective prune everything that goes into flower its just i run 5 gallon buckets and 5g smartpots along with a handful of different strains each time so my light almost has to be stationary to keep them all happy. For example, the pp has no stretch but the tahoe stretches 2x and the wonderberry 1x gsc s1s 2x so its hard to maintain even canopy but i get pretty close and put tall on the outside and short in the middle.
