yes
remember in flowering phase.. it will double or tripple depending on strain... usually indica will double...
then you should worry about PPM's at flowering your going to want to raise the nute levels every week or so....
Here is a good way to see if you plant is liking the ppm of nutes..
apply a certain PPM lets say 400 using tap water...
if you check the next morning and the ppm has dropped.. That means you need to add more nutes..
If the ppm stays the same but the water in the res has dropped that means that is your optimal PPM...
If the ppm rises it means its too much nutes...
Goodluck.. BTW this only applies to hydro grows...
SOil grow = no PPM

Mr I Can Do That For Half
grow the seeds in soil and find your female then clone her for the hydro grow. Save ya alot of trouble and allows you to control size much better

That sounds like a great way to gauge how many nutes your plants are using...thanks for the tip...I'm gonna try that one!!
