thanks for looking, and thanks for the encouragement!:)
...so at the beginning of week two, I raised the EC to .7
the existing system EC is .6
I put 15 gallons of water in the top off reservoir, and set the EC to .9
in two days, half of the top off reservoir is used up, and the EC is almost at .7
the chiller temperature is set at 65 degrees Fahrenheit
the pH is 6.0
the temperature ranges from 72 to 91 degrees Fahrenheit
the humidity ranges from 29 to 35

Taken on day 21 of flower...

since my last posting, (as a precautionary measure since my buddy had fungus gnats or root aphids or both), I treated with Bayer tree and shrub:
I added 30 milliliters to one gallon of water, and poured one gallon over the top of the hydroton in each pot in the system, as well as the top off reservoir.

so with a total of 270 milliliters in the entire system, I let it run for 2 hours straight.

I drained the system, ran five gallons of fresh water over the top of each pot, rinsed out the top off reservoir, cleaned out the inline filter, drained it right away, then added new water, and let it run for 24 hours.

I drained the system again, and dosed it to .6 EC.

three days later, I raised the EC to .7

day 29 into flower...starting week 5, and raising the EC to .8 through the top off reservoir, starting 3 days ago.
I set the reservoir at .8 EC, and put 20 gallons into it...the EC of the system is still .7, but I'm sure it is a strong .7 and soon will be .8.

the pH is 6.1

taken just a moment ago, this is the canopy of two East coast sour diesel plants, under two 6 lamp sets of 10,000K T5s...they are growing over the two cherry berries.

Day 37... Raising the EC to 1.0

right now the EC is .8
I will put 10 gallons in the top off reservoir, and set the EC at 1.4...that should get the EC to 1.0 in a day or two.

the pH is holding steady at 6.2, and the nutrient temperature is holding steady at 65 Fahrenheit.

here's a couple of pictures taken a moment ago...first a picture of the entire grow, and then a picture of the t5 grow, and then a picture of the LED grow.

here's those poor little cherry berries...lol
next time it will be all sativas.

day 46, and the second day of flushing.
the pH has been steady at 6.1, and the nutrient temperature has been steady at 65 degrees Fahrenheit.

I took the EC up to 1.1 for 3 days, drained, and added 250 milliliters of Final Phase...the EC was at .5

After a day and a half, the EC was at .6
I drained and added 150 milliliters of Final Phase...the EC is at .3

at the beginning of the flush, I dropped the nutrient temperature to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

here are some pictures taken a moment ago.
