While my plants are looking much better finally, it looks like the Bubbagum is starting to flower (it's an auto)... what do you think???

Things have been stable. 75F, 65H, 6.5pH, and water @ 69-70F (rotating frozen water bottles twice a day). Still on the 20% mix from Friday, and plan to change it out this coming Friday. They have not drank (drunk?) much - maybe 1/2 gallon each. The pH climbed up a bit and had to be adjusted over the weekend, but I was under the impression that is to be expected when the plants are absorbing nutrients.Right On!! that new growth has nice color and texture. Keep doin' what your doin'
p.s. What are your metrics today?

Oh, my EC/PPM meter did not get ordered as I had thought, so I'm still guessing at nutrient levels. I'll be ordering it and some root protection juice as soon as I can.
It feels early for flowers, am I confused? These plants are 35 days from seed today. My light has been on 24/0 (Veg) since they sprouted.
I use that chart religiously. Are you the original creater of it?Why are you going to change out the rez just as you get it stabilized?
Your numbers look good. Suggestion: Let your ph swing from 6.5 to 5.5 or there abouts. Different nutes get taken up by the root system depending on the ph. Check out this chart.

No it is not too early for flower. When running autos (that is all i run) you will start seeing flowers right around day 30-35 almost like clockwork. I have had a couple run later and Ms. Purple in my current grow started showing flower at 3 weeks, but then it is only 12 inches tall going on week 13.
I went and doug up my old log that i used on my first three grows. I used it to keep daily details and notes during my grow. It was most helpful in keeping track of what issues came up and what i did to fix it. I still keep a log, i just don't do it daily and i mostly do it online on The Farm. Here is the url; feel free to download and use it if it proves useful. https://drive.google.com/open?id=11o-0MXaNAQe7qcIvRKSryBUdMl1vm8aX
You may also want to copy the chart below and make it a photo/document that you can refer back to.

Couldn't agree more.No sir i am not. I would like to shake the hand of the person that did though..... it has saved my ass lots of times. It has also kept me from making nervous nellie adjustments that would have only made things worse.it truly underscores the importance of keeping an eye on ones PH at least daily in hydro.
Uhhh... I'm going to go ahead and guess from your response that the reason might be " cuz I'm dumb " ?Why are you going to change out the rez just as you get it stabilized?

It seems 1-2 weeks is a fairly common recommendation, especially for newblets like myself. Given the water temperature and lack of anti-rotting agent, I surmised that changing it once a week might be the safe choice. It seems like the experienced growers get a handle on the process and can keep topping off the same water for several weeks. At this point, I just want to keep the lettuce alive. :)
@AnselAdams - I could only get a blurry version from the Forum of the chart you uploaded, but found a clear copy on the Google. Posting another copy to see if it comes across any better.
Thanks for the chart, this looks like it could be really helpful!

Wait till they are healthy before ramping up the nutrient. They are still in the recovery mode. Have you started them up on hyroguard or other yet?The past 2 weeks have been a little dramatic. After just a few days of healthy growth, things started going badly again, especially for BlackBerry Kush. I believe it was root rot. The roots went from slightly stained to clumps of darkish brown. Thankfully, the universe slipped me a tiny break, and I had finally ordered anti-fungal a few days prior. I'm now armed with both anti-fungal, AND a PPM meter. They have both started to flower. I'm hesitant to ramp the nutrients up too quickly and trigger another event of some sort. I have the BBK @ 500PPM, and the BubbaGum @ 650PPM.

At this point I have managed to over-water them as sprouts, drown them in veg week 2 (air pump mishap), I ran the humidity way too low for a while, then let the water in the pots get too warm and caused root rot.
I wonder what I will fumble next that ends up trying to kill them.❄
Why is there no cannabis emoji?
Yes, got Southern AG.Wait till they are healthy before ramping up the nutrient. They are still in the recovery mode. Have you started them up on hyroguard or other yet?
Us that and keep swapping frozen bottles. I think I posted dosages on the Southern AG didn't I?Yes, got Southern AG.
1 week later....
BBK hasn't died yet, still looks like it has one foot in the grave, but it continues to suck up water+nutes, and is making flowers.

I believe most of the yellowing in the leaves is from the root-rot fiasco.
BubbaGum is getting so dense I have to put on jungle gear and take a machete with me to go exploring. I'm excited about this baby!!
