White is getting huge, but not very tall. She is about ready for some limb support, I'll be cleaning more undercarriage bits that won't get much light and work on getting the netting in place soon. I wonder if I will regret not starting with the netting in place.

The only thing that bothers me is the pH keeps drifting up. PPM has been stable and water level slowly dropping, but pH keeps going down a bit too far and I have to give her a bit of pH UP. (Switching to Silica as soon as it arrives.)
Good question, I assume it would apply to any growth medium. My understanding is that Silica will raise the pH, while providing some beneficial nutrients that can help strengthen the limbs of the plant.Mind dropping some knowledge on the Silica. That just for DWC? Or good to add in any grow for additional nutrients.

My advice would be don't try to incorporate anything unless the need arises.Not sure I wanna raise my ph. It's actually a little high and have to use ph down to get mine in the right zone. Guess I can always go a little lower and use this to have it raise it a little. I dunno though newbie here. Lol

So better to use this in the early stages, got it. Thanks.Be very aware too much silica can harm growth, especially during the flowering stages. Remember, its a MICRO element. It's needed in the early stages of development for this stalks, and webbing in leaves, fiberous tissues, once those are developed fully developed, it's only needed in trace amounts.
Think of infants, children, bones and milk. (calcium).
I've read some articles that says it can inhibit in some circumstances, so I would use caution, and when appropriate.
That would be my advice nate, some others might not see it that way, it's a great nutrient don't get me wrong, and it helps strengthen the plant, helps immunity, I've just seen some evidence to a downside of too much, especially during flowering.So better to use this in the early stages, got it. Thanks.

Leaving in a few days and my girls will be on their own for several days. Things have been very stable so far with the large res, I'm optimistic they will do well.

I added a net to help with big limb support on WW. This crazy-bush growing format is rather annoying to manage, I think next time I will start with a screen and attempt to follow the SCROG bible.
