I was having to replentish my water every day the last couple of weeks. Suddenly, it just stopped drinking and the water level has barely changed in 3 days.

Nutrient lock doesn't mean they quit drinking, just that they can't access the nutes in the water.

If the plants look fine don't worry. They have phases of being very thirsty and times of not drinking.

normal for flowering plants to drink ALOT of water weeks 2-5 in flowering than will slow considerably. consider rechecking your humidity levels, air circ and temps. they should be drinking some water at all times. if you havent flushed the res in a while may be a good time to do so, just make sure you refill with balanced nutes.

Thanks all!! Every thing appears to be fine TEmp/Humidity wise. I gave her clean water the other day for 2 days and replaced that with a half strength nute solution. I'll give it a couple of days and see what happens.
