Little update.
Day 20 flower:
Plants are consuming about 60ppm, and 20 gallons of water a day.
Almost the end of the 3rd week and they still growing vertically.
They were flowered at around 18inches, the tallest is now 49inches tall. They have almost tripled in size.

Well tonydizz was right. Lights were too close for too long. Burned the tops. I had already raised them in my last post but I guess I wasn't fast enough. Had it at about 20 inches which is farther than adjust a wing recommend, but guess it was hot.
Now new problem.
Root rot? My ec was going down almost 100ppm a night. Now for the past 3 nights, it barely moves. Maybe 20ppm. And the pH doesn't move. Set at 5.6, stayed at 5.6.
Oh. And black spots all over my roots.
Double dosed ucroots. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Dont know where it came from. All my water is ro. I really don't wanna go live, but I may have to.

20inches is more suitable for a 600w lamp, 1000w need to be kept further away than that. 2.5ft-3ft

that is not root rot, your roots look fine to me. You will know about it if you have root rot, plants look great

I wish you were right. I've had rot before and this is how it starts. If u zoom in on the second pic I posted, you will not all the ends going black. The plants have stopped eating, and the bucket water has unknown bio gunk floating in it. Sad day

How do you prune the middle two rows so they don't get too clumped together and get soggy? It's a pain in the ass crawling under the scrog for my XXL13.

At this point i had received my humidifier. Set to 60%. No trouble overcoming AC. Something was still not right. Purple stems like crazy, not really eating, thin stems. I had been following the cs target ph (although my plan had been to set to 5.5 and let it drift, my maxi scare made me decide to blindly follow), and their target ph for week 1 and 2 of veg were 6.2 and 6.1 respectively.
I diagnosed a k deficiency, and upon checking ph nutrient availability charts, i saw that the ph was making k unavailable. I lowered to 5.5, plants seemed to respond. Pics are dated.

I don't know what happened there. But I use uc roots. Works well.
