first day of the new year I had enough new growth to top them for their second time checked nutes hanging @ 800 ppm. ph a little high @6.7 so I added 60m/l lemon juice I'll see how the ph. is this afternoon I don't know if it's the led but I expected these to be a stretcher but they seem to be short coupled & compact so far I'm thinking they're gonna start greening up in the upcoming weekIMG_0430.JPGIMG_0431.JPG

Once your nutes are in range, pour some thru the rocks around your plants. This will rinse anything old away and replace it with fresh nutes.

Happy new year & thanks for the input ,much appreciated I kinda stepped out of my comfort zone with the waterfarms &I the leds it has been a learning experience also going from 6-9 plants down to 1-2 puts a whole new emphasis on veg time & canopy control

I am just glad to have someone willing to listen to me haha.
Nothing good about knowledge if others cant use it.
You have no idea what I have learned on this forum!!
Or maybe you do.
6-7 yrs ago I had never grown weed, and was the most clueless soul making every mistake.
There are several threads with great peeps that helped every way possible even sending me good seeds!
There are lots of threads here with jerks, but I avoid them :)

the growth pattern is holding each plant has been topped twice don't know if I'll top again or not I also adjusted the nutrient level to where there is a 1" gap between the bottom of the hydroton & the nutrients in the bottom reservoir in both units ph. still a bit high I'll check again in a few hours I wasn't expecting these to be so bushy nonetheless I'm gonna veg the hell out of these & train them to fill the screen until I get the canopy I need just in case there isn't a huge stretch after the flip IMG_0435.JPGIMG_0434.JPG IMG_0433.JPG

I've got 6 branches on each plant I pruned the rest off also got 1 in.of height in the last 24 hours but leaves & limbs are larger in diameter,length as well as width I'm hanging in indecision as to top once more or not , still playing with the res. & 2 plant setup as to adjustment of ph. I got it too low so I put the gallon of nutes I removed before I made the adjustment back in I'll let that circulate a few hours & re-check the color has improved quite a bit this strain is pungent even this young kinda like stardawg but with a slight floral twist or maybe a hint of fuel/ berry it's very own distinctive smell not unlike a cut of strawberry cough a friend of mine had everything below the bottom fan leaves has been removed I was gonna use the limbs for clones but decided there will be plenty of clone material to be had a bit later in the grow I put the headband clones in rock wool blocks to clone later as well outside of some minor issues I'm gonna address a couple of shortcomings from my last grow mainly not enough veg time & filling my screen to capacity IMG_0438.JPG IMG_0436.JPGIMG_0437.JPG

IMG_0441.JPG I have some minor clawing I think it's because I over corrected the ph & it was low (4.9) got it up to 6.3 today I'm gonna let things stabilize & take what I think I should add & then cut that in half until I can get this figured out a bit better the single plant setup was more simple to care for I'm gonna get a tote that I can mix 8 gal.of nutrients in & make all my adjustments beforehand ATTACH=full]3867197[/ATTACH]View attachment 3867199

Big pH swings cause twisty leaves too.
6.3 way too high. You want 5.6-5.8 in veg.

when I did hydro I noticed my ph always raised so I started slightly low and let it raise on ite=s own till i hit over 6 then dropped it to 5.4 again.
Im no expert though.

that's pretty much what I've always done I've used this res.with the single waterfarm but this is the first time doubling them up what worked before has changed up our tap water comes from a nearby lake I'm sure the recent storms have changed the runoff up a bit as well

Have you tried tap water in a barrel or tub for a few days with a pump and see if it settles ph swing maybe before adding nutes to it.
My tap water would change PH as the chlorine evaporated I think
