Looking good bro! I've been looking into R/O filters and a better PH/PPM/EC meters. There are some that do it all but well over $100 US.

Post some pics of the plants lowers.
I'll try to help later tonight.
Basically I start during stretch, sometimes before that too, and again after the stretch if need be.
The base of the fan leaf is RIGHT below the base of the nug/bud branch.
I snip as close to the base as possible.
I start in the middle of the plant.
Any leaf positioned there gets cut out to open up the middle to more light.

I think my girls are ready to flower I have a full 6 weeks in the reservoir plus the 2 weeks from seed in the dome... Here are pics these girls are growing good. I need to do it soon because sounds like when I go to 12/12 they will double in size and not fit in the room.

Hopefully your fans are running at 1/2 - 3/4 speed so when you add the beacon of light lol you can always increase fan speed?

Great stuff Flo lol "forearm size buds...":weed::bigjoint:

You can begin to trim the lowers during stretch or soon after if you want.
I'm hoping you get some MONSTER buds with that 1K.
THICK, long colas like a caveman's club and shit ! lol

I definitely am setting them free on Saturday... I was thinking about trimming the lower leaves but a grower told me to leave them because when I go to flower the plants will use the lower leaves to pull nutes from...

Glad to hear ! lol
Gotta post pics like every 3 or 4 days too, so we can witness the stretch. Please ! lol
Your grower friend told you half the truth.
They will and do pull nutes from the bottom and work their way up, ONLY if there's a deficiency somewhere.
ESPECIALLY Nitrogen. Hence the green to yellow color change.
That's why I suggested during or SOON after.
You don't want them wasting too much time, energy, nutes, and hormones into plant parts that won't be productive enough to warrant their stay.
This is where the Inverse Square Law becomes very useful.
Anything that does not and will not receive adequate light penetration, determined by the lights lumens and distance from the plants, should be trimmed away.
