Do you have dutch masters reverse? OR did you already kill it?

I had been holding off, but I pulled it tonight. Even looked @ some DM Reverse yesterday at my local grow shop and decided to pass. The other 3 are female for sure, so I'm happy with that. Do you have a top PPM in mind for your girl? Says 1350 on the bottle, but the way these hogs are eating I'm thinking higher. Actually think I'm still low balling mine.

Brought them up to 1400 ppm earlier, all looks good. Thinking I should see a lot more progress tomorrow with a whole plant missing.

You can go as high as your plant will take. From what I've read most people don't get above 2000ppm though.

Thanks, I had heard 1350 was just a guideline, but wasn't sure. Brought them to 1400 @ 10pm last night and this morning they looked fine before lights out.

Well, thought I was gonna change my res yesterday, didn't realize how long it took to run 30 gallons through an R/O system. Mine has a D/I filter too, not sure if that slows it down or not. Anyway, I'm at 1300 ppm, res is changed, and all seems well. Flushed each plant with Flora Kleen. Also added microbes. Been reading up on breeding your own microbes, might try that to see if I can stretch this batch out, seems easy enough. This is the first res my plants have seen with just bloom in it, the last was in transition from grow to bloom. Here's a photo shortly after the change.

Looking awesome, mate. Shame about the male, but the remaining plants look super healthy. Should start to see those pistils in no time.

Thanks man, hated to see him go, but I'm just not into guys. I'm starting to think R/O, deionised is the way to go. My PH is all the way down to 6.1, after sitting @ 6.5-6.8 the whole veg cycle. Could be the switch to bloom, but I'm gonna bet on the water. Everything seems good, so here's a picture from right after lights on.

How many days into 12/12 are you? Just wondering because mine is @ 20 and my ppm is 1200ish.

I started mine on the 31st, so I'm about 11 or 12 days in now. I get about a 2 1/2 gallon drop every day, with the ppm's staying the same. Anytime the ppm's drop a good bit, I go up. You also have to remember, I'm in 20 gallons, with 3 plants eating from the same mix. Does your ppm come down between top offs?
