Last week or so I usually just top off the res with fresh water top offs and let the ppm drop til I chop. I usually change my res @ 4 weeks then top off the res with fresh water only for the last week of flower.
My last 2 runs were no res change along with topping off with fresh water and the smoke was no different than usual.

I've compiled a list of packs of seeds I'll be selling off ultra cheap. The list includes Bodhi, GPS, Dankonomics, Cryptic Labs, Cannaventure and a few more.
Theres about 35 packs total all in unopened breeder packs.
Please dont ask about the list in the thread. Shoot me a private message.

Knocked up Mimosa @38 days from flip:
Starting to get stinky in the room now between these and the Mothers milk flowering.
Im still waiting to see 100% confirmation that the pollen from the Mimosa male I stored took to the Mothers Milk.
I cant tell if the pistols are just burn from the pollen application or if the pollen actually took??

This is whats been going on in my world lately:
MIMOSA @ 44 days since flip to 12/12 (not so pregnant lower nug pictured)
MOTHERS MILK @29 days since flip to 12/12
And the newest momma added to the Horticultural Whorehouse is "Plemon" by Breeders Boutique.
Its been topped once and huge fans cut from it twice. You couldnt even see the top of the net pot and they were crowding bad. Huge, fat Indica fan leaves. I've grown this out once before and it was super purple bud at the formation of the very first calyx. Im hoping this last FEM bean I had of it is like the last -which after seeing all of the other beans from that fem batch, I believe it will be. I dont remember the serrations being so huge and pronounced though. Reminds me of something I've grown/seen before but cant put my finger on it. An old school skunk maybe??
I'll be taking cuts pretty soon to put in the Mimosa's spot once they are harvested in a cpl weeks.

Its not looking like it did. Lots of fresh new white hairs all over where I pollenated. I do see a couple of phantom orange hairs that are orange all the way to the calyx, so Im hoping I will get at least a few beans from her. If I do, Im going to grow them out and F1 from that if I get a M/F (or reveg and CS the best female). Im still not giving up lol. I think I messed up with the pollen by not letting it dry out first before being stored. Thats really the only thing I can think of that I did wrong??

@shorelineOG was there a strain you were working with a cpl yrs ago that has the serrations on the leaf like the one pictured above? Its bugging me now that I cant remember where I seen those.

Shoreline has the serrated leaves, and the crosses usually have it.

That mimosa looks great, Red. Fast to finish too.
I had a similar experience with stored and frozen pollen a while back. Not sure if it was just not viable from the male, or if something was wrong with my collection and storage. I followed all instructions I could find, and let it dry for several days before packing it up. Put in the freezer with no chance of moisture getting into it, then let it thaw for a day before using. I dusted the shit out of some small clones, twice, about 5 days apart. No beans though. The clones all flowered normally and while I wasn't sure at the time, I've been through it all and smoked it all now, and there were no beans to be found. Bummer, but oh well. I'll try again soon.

I found what I was thinking of, and you were exactly right. Heres what doniawon grew (beginning of the Shoreline thread) that had those same exact fat leaves with the large serrations I was thinking about! I knew I seen that shit somewhere lol

Wow, you even went a step further than I did by drying it out for a few days. I shook the sacks over a piece of paper and collected right into the vials. From there they went right into the fridge.
I definitely need to sharpen my pollen collecting skills.

I shook them over a piece of construction paper and would kind of spread the pollen out thin. Set that in a closet by itself for what must have been a few days or so... it was definitely dry, no doubt about it. Then put it in all in vials, bagged and tupperware. Honestly, I wonder if I would have been better off just not freezing, and storing it at room temp instead. I think that will be my move next time. Just for short term collection and use.Wow, you even went a step further than I did by drying it out for a few days. I shook the sacks over a piece of paper and collected right into the vials.

I dont let my pollen thaw. I pull it out, open and use, then freeze again.
I always worried about it drawing moisture if I let it thaw.

I would only thaw what I would use and put nothing back. I stored pollen in individual seed vials, but only pulled out a few to use. Never opened the cap until it was time to pollinate. Just let the vial set at room temp to thaw.
I still have a shit load. Do you think it's worth trying again with the same pollen, just not thawing it? Go straight from the freezer to the plant?

I went straight from vial in freezer to plant, but again I didnt dry before it went in vials. Im missing a key piece somewhere? The pollen I collected was viable since the Mimosa girls are loaded with seeds. Something I did between not drying before going in vials to not waiting a bit after pulling vials from the fridge?? Im wondering if there was trace amounts of condensate that killed off the viability of the pollen?

That's what I meant. I store mine in individual packets. I use it as soon as I pull it out.
