Well that's good to hear.... Thanks againYou doing well bro. We are all still learning. If you make it to harvest and have something to smoke you made it further than many in DWC first time

Sounds like a good plan. If ya see some tips burning of clawing or shiny dark green leaves you know to back off a bit.Redid my res Friday night.... Went out on a limb and decided to up my ppm. I originally bought a 3 pack of nutes. 1 was for veg, 2 were for bloom. I mixed up nutes by their directions (with the cal mag and bioguard ) and the ppm came out to 820's....
My leaves have stopped "burning" .... But everybody kinda looks droopy to me.... Maybe it just needs more time to perk back up.....
Added 1/2 gallon of RO to top off today....that's it. Gonna redo the res every 4 -5 days I guess and see what happens. Will adjust depending on how they're looking and doing....
I would start watching for a possible nitrogen deficiency. If bottom leaves start to yellow a bit then we can look at changing that. I have never used those nutrients.Oh I'm using Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom at the same time.... I assumed I was supposed to bring that it came in a "kit" form for a complete cycle.....
Eeesh sounds to high to me why are the plants all wet under lights on?Been a few days.... Been busy..
Talked to manufacturer of the nutes I use. They sent me a feeding guide, and a host of other cool goodies... With their food, I need to be at 1400+ ppm... MINIMUM..... (Using RO) .... I've been under feeding. My big plant damn near died. I was able to save it. This is what's left....☹☹ She has perked back up.... She also had a tad bit of root for I guess. Flushed with bioguard a few times. I think it's back on track to being a winner..... Not as lush as it once was , but at least it's still alive.....
I foliar feed when the lights come on , to help with any deficiency.... Dries up with in minutes. No harm.... It's not hot in the box, and lights are more than 10" away.... Little plant has been loving it.....Eeesh sounds to high to me why are the plants all wet under lights on?

EDIT
I find it odd that only the big plant has the burnt looking leaves . The little one has the same droopy look , but no burn.....
what's the temp of the nutrient solution?
others here might have a good suggestion, but i'm scratching my head as to how it drops so much overnight. evaporation doesn't come into the equation...
such dramatic fluctations in pH couldn't be great for the plant, but yet the plant are doing well considering this pH fluctuation...
In a pinch use baking soda until you can get more. Start Ro then add 1/2 tsp of baking soda. Then add nutrients and ph down as needed.I thought about that... But I test with an electronic meter and check that with the old fashioned pH water test/drops kit .. yellow stick is reading correct.
Box tops lately have been high during the day with no lights on. Average about 92/93..... It's HOT here..... When the lights come on, temps slowly go down to lower/mid 80's.... They are sucking down about a half gallon of water a day.
I'm using fox farms 3 part hydro food pack. My 3.5 gallon resevoir's don't like the "grow big" brown stuff , so I only use about 1/4 of what it calls for. According to the fox farm rep I talk to , that's fine and a lot of people do that or just don't use it at all.... (It clings to everything and piles up at the bottom of res....
Well, my babies are kinda screwed now. I'm out of pH up, already topped off with fresh RO but my pH didn't ride up enough. Bush plant is at 5.4 and the tall one is only at 5..... Work slowed down to where I'm barely bringing home a check at all.... This grow might have just been fir nothing but a learning experience with no prize at the end.... Not sure what I'm gonna do cuz Friday is too far away to try holding out....
And the bush is just starting to bud....
Mix 50/50.I use RO water. My tap water is 7.2 pH and 257 ppm..... I can add tap water to boost the pH ! Right ?
