So pretty much right away I knew I was in trouble, my girls were about 22-24" before I could get them into flower. I kept close watch and some nights things would stretch as much as 2" and seemed to stop around day 28 and 48". So no one ended up punching the ceiling my worries are over. They are always tended to in the morning before I leave for work and then when I get home, we get to spend the quality time together. lol
They have been chugging along drinking up about 10 gallons out of a 60 gallon res daily and this is where my new concern started. I was wondering about this because by the end of the week they have drank the volume of the res, my ph is good and ec creeps down. I normally just do add backs of ca mg unless the ec is not moving then I'll just drop ro. Well this morning is day 5 on the nute sol in my res and it's down about 20 gallons this morning, so they drank 20 gallons in 12 hours. What I'm wondering is do I need a bigger res or will I have to do more frequent change outs if this spurs issues? Right now she seems happy, I just want to stay on top of things before there is a problem.
