What is PH supposed to do if plants are growing? my PH is staying steady not going up or down

You won't see much of a water drop or anything with little ones like that. Just keep checking it daily, it should be pretty stable. As the plant grows and roots get bigger you will start to see it. You have the water level an inch or two below net pot?
Right on bottom net pot

they look very healthy to me.

you should start seeing a ppm drop and probably a pH rise and some water drop if everything is OK.

i like setting the pH at 5.5 and then let it rise until it gets to about 6.1 and then add some ph down
Ph rising again 5.5 to 6 had ph down

I'll check i think the hydroton is well above
Sounds good. I'm a little OC about things ("a little" - who am I kidding?).

Your plants look really good - much better than at the start of the thread. Glad to see that.

Are those GG's photos or autos? I've done two grows of GG autos from ILGM and think it's a great strain.

Its from a dealzer they don't sell it anymore its good quality. Dealzer changed to cheaply made res now
Great! You didn't have to pay $300. Good.

Like you, I have no use for top feed so I'm going to cut off the tubing and fill the holes with plugs.

With a 2' x 4', I only grow two plants so all of those holes for the net pots are of no use. To date, I've left the net pots in but have used a neoprene "blank" that fits in the net pot. I like the idea of just covering then with tape. Tape is zero maintenance and there's nothing to clean after the grow is over. That works for me!

$300? Ouch! Hate to hear that.

The plants turned out OK - I've done two grows - but what I'm seeing is that, in each grow, one plant dominates the rest. For this last grow, which I just finished bagging today, there were two plants in the tent (2'x 4'). Looking at the front of the tent, it looks like there's only one plant. When I weighed out the two plants, the ratio was 4:1.

First picture shows both plants, second one is after the first one was harvested. Check out the root balls, too.

I had the same issue with Gelatos that I grew over the winter - one plant dominated the tent and I had to cull two of the three normal sized plants. Part of it is genetics so I'm going to switch away from ILGM and see what results I get.

(The light in the front is for two branches that kept falling out of the tent. I wanted to use a trellis keep them in the tent but it was too crowded so I let them hang out and I put a Vipar Spectra XS 1500 on them.)

Tape on top and bottom BTW. Gurrila tape. No light has a chance to get through

Yeah I switched back to the company I did my first 5ft tall indoor chronic grow. 10yrs ago. MSNL. seeds from Amsterdam.

I see 1 plant right side probably be smaller. They had a rough start so I don't know it might catch up.
