Basically for an "emergency" like this, your goal should be to simply keep his shit from dying, not growing dank ass bud (that's his job)...
so I suggest check the PH and PPM once a day. Add up/down as needed to maintain 5.5 - 6.5 ph, although try not to go over 6.0 too much as phosphorus lockout can occur which would be very bad during flower. 5.8 is perfect.
If he is running ice in the reservoir to keep temps down, you're gonna have to replace the ice. Try to keep the water around 62-70* F
Probably keep the PPM at whatever it currently is. If it gets higher, your plants are drinking water and not using nutes, so add more water. If the PPM goes lower they are using nutes and not drinking as much water, so add nutes. You want to use the Flora Bloom and Flora Micro, I wouldn't recommend fuckin with the bloom booster and other additives unless you have problems, then ask us first. Keep in mind if there's already shit in your water or ph up/down or other additives in the nute solution it will increase the PPM. For example: you might have 1600 but 400 of that may be from tap water, ph down, and additives, so you only have 1200 PPM of actual nutes.
To be safe, say on the low side of the PPM guidelines and watch the plants for dead/brown burn spots at the tips, black or deep purple/brown spots on the leaves, excessive yellowing of the leaves (if he is close to harvest they are probably yellowing a bit), and wilting/drooping. Other than checking the PH and PPM once a day, just watch the plants and post pics if you see anything unusual. DWC pretty much runs itself once properly setup.
As for your 24/0 photoperiod plants, those are probably clones. Most likely all you need to do is: If they are clones in a humidity dome, keep the inside of the dome misted and leave them alone otherwise. You may need to ensure the rockwool or whatever medium they are in stays wet (not soaked as fuck).
If they are clones or have a pair or two of three-fingered leaves, ONLY IF YOU NOTICE THEM DROOPING OR YELLOWING ETC feed them a mild nute solution (I would go half of what the schedule recommends for his clones to be on the safe side.)
In general, your priorities should be keeping the flowering plants alive, and then worry about the clones/seedlings. If you lose the clones, he can get more. Watch the plants and ask questions (with pictures attached) if you have any further issues. Also, you might want to pop open the res or buckets every meow and then to make sure everything is cool and you're not growing The Swamp Thing in your res.

r there buds on the ones in flowering if so how big cut the flowering short. is there any measuring device around. if not use a shot glass read the back of the nutes you got it will tell u what u need for what week your on hooooowever all plants are different i would do a third of what they suggest. as for the seedlings they can grow with just water for at least two weeks. Your gonna have to do some reading and some experimenting.We can only do so much over the internet but i'm sure we'll all subscribe or at least a couple of us and do what we can to help via internet of course. Can u find out when he changes his buckets. Photos???????

ok... i wet vakd out the water... then i poured two gallons of the water he uses in the tub... then i added a cap ful of flora bloom then 5 ml of flora micro cuz the bottle said they go together. imma check the ppm but im scratchng my head cuz the ppm meter says about 550. im guessing that is high? but i am outta the jug water. i live on a well but he didnt seem too impressed with the cleanliness as he has been making me use jug water for all things we consume and he never uses it on his babies... can i add it safely? i am not worried about making killer bud... i been kinda thrown into this with my head up my ass. but i need them for my survival. what should i do?

ok this is weird, there are whole to a guy disappearing and his girl coming on here on and try to save his stuff..
i mean cant he call you and tell you, unless he in the hammer and no access to phone. to be honest there is not much you can do.
if anything keep the ph within range and THATs it.....

baby mom has got him in jail for what ever reason and this is his wife if i remember right.
he might be away for awhile so shes gotta take care of these probably through harvest.
and thats pretty much what ive told her. shes gotta keep the PH and PPM within range.
I grow hydro and my tri-meter ppm tester has 4 digits on display. Straight water reads 200 ppm. By the time I finish mixing GH according to their schedule, I read 1600 - 2200 ppm. My guess is that those of you who suggest that plants would die at 2000 ppm,. you guys have 3 digit testers. So when you read 200, it would actually read 2000 ppm on a 4 digit tester.
Firstly you need to determine how many gallons are in your rez when it is full. Then mix the appropreiate amount of nutes to the rez according to the GH schedule. If this is too diffficult, hire someone locally to come take care of your grow. Pay them per hour(20-30 p.h?). You probably would only need them 4-6 hours a week. After a few weeks, you will have a hang of it.

honestly i hate to say this and might even get dogged on buuuuuuuut. Everything u need is on this site, YOOOOOUUU need to take matter in your own hands read every sticky on this forum, take it all in comprehend and experiment. Even if u put nute in a 3 gallon res that has no plan of ever touching a plants, just to get the ph down and your ppm on point like a practice test. There is a search button, literally just type what your trying to find out don't even need Google somebody somewhere has posted you same exact question with diagram and detailed information. if you do this i'd say you would do great. If you don't well might wanna have someone trustworthy teach you( not online). What your trying to accomplish is 100% possible and don't let anyone tell you different who know u might like it and find it as a hobby. take care

you are just wrong on the meter. and 1600-2000 is just a waste of nutes. cut it in half and see what happens. never guess.I grow hydro and my tri-meter ppm tester has 4 digits on display. Straight water reads 200 ppm. By the time I finish mixing GH according to their schedule, I read 1600 - 2200 ppm. My guess is that those of you who suggest that plants would die at 2000 ppm,. you guys have 3 digit testers. So when you read 200, it would actually read 2000 ppm on a 4 digit tester.

After a few weeks, you will have a hang of it.
How am I wrong on the meter? Please explain. Stores offer the old style meters which have a 3 digit display and now they have the 4 digit display meters. The new ones offer a finer read to a higher discimal point. Not that it really matters, but it could be confusing.
If you read 1350 ppm on a 4 digit tester or 135 ppm on a 3 digit tester, what does it matter, nothing.
But to the reader on the net, they could be confused by the extra digit. That's all I was saying. If someone gives advise that they are at 1600 ppm, and the reader has a 3 digit display, they would in essence be trying to adjust their rez to 16,000 ppm whereas they should adjust it to 160 ppm.
As for lowering my nutes, I don't see what advantage that could possibly make. Often my nutes drop down to below 1000 ppm on my 4 digit tester. I only adjust it once a week and then at the end of the week, I flush with flora kleen and then I dump the rez and start all over again. So please tell me SS, how would the plants react favorably to what you suggest?
Obviously I would save lots of money if you were onto something, so please share.
