Subscribed, As for the ppm i'm not hydro grower, at all, so you should ask someone else, but i think if the ppm has jumped 200 out of the "safe zone" then ading more water till it gets back to that zone should do it? Assuming that water has a lower ppm

Alright so it's day 19 of flower and she is looking good. have had to supercrop the top 2 times to keep it from hitting the glass (so it's got 2 elbows in it) ill get a good pic of it tomorrow. She has been drinking more water then nutes and still on a lighter nute mix (past nute issues) gonna start to work it up to full within next few days. Here are some pics. Enjoy!

In the first pic the top supercropped bud is in the background.

Beautiful. Generally your ppm will rise if they are consuming more water then nutes. I like to fill my rez to a target ec and then only add water when the ppm goes up. If it stays at my target or falls, I leave it. If it gets so low I have to add water for the pump, I'll usually add some boost or other nutrient at that time to get it back to my 'target'. Hope this helps, I'm not sure how a dwc rez compares to flood & drain.

Alright so I am 4 weeks in flower and things are doing just fine. I have pulled through the airstone problem just fine and we are on track. I have the nutes where I want em and just got a inline fan and filter set up in the room. 6" 500 cfm fan and good size carbon filter. she is even more happy.

As for the height problem I have done my best to keep her low. The top bud is about 8 inches from the bulb and 6 from the glass. 4 weeks in I think I'm ok. Let me know what you think about that though.

My pops an ol head 90's grower (dank bud) came down for a week to visit and saw her and was impressed so that felt good.

We are starting week 4 today. These pictures are over 3 days from the 11th to today. What ya think?

Sweet man, that looks like it's turning out great to me. Is that the 16" Mountain Air Carbon filter? When I bought mine I was told to attach it directly to the filter with this foamed joint clamp and then run the vent hose out after that. Dude said it would be more efficient that way.

Mine is a 4" as well, the guy at the hydro store kept referring to it as the 16" though, so I guess he meant the length of the unit or maybe the girth, I dunno.

Thanks guys.

yeah I bought it together. It's an 6in hole, 18in long 9 in dia. filter not sure what company. Yea it's a 6" inline 500 cfm with a leather jacket (helps with sound and vibration i guess). I'm not that happy with how it's set up it but it cleans the room like a champ it works. so I'm going to get though this harvest then get it all how I want it its fine for now.

Ok so I have been reading and getting ready to harvest!!! and after educating myself some more I started to look at the big girl and she is looking ready to me. I posted a pic and everyone who sees it says she is ready. I want to hear from my people on this one. As of right now she is 7 1/2 weeks into flower. Now attitude says it's a 9 week strain, another thing is the trichomes are still clear for the most part. I was going to start a flush now and harvest at about 8 weeks. Tell me what you think? either way they look tasty. Thanks guys.
