In veg I add ro water when needed and top off nutes. In bloom I have auto top off ro water and add back nutes when needed
Usually when I add water and nutes it brings the ph right in range once its out of wack and start dropping or raising after a couple weeks then I flush and refill fresh water and nutes

ok so here are pics of both rooms (one at a week and one at 12 days.) the room at 12 days will go into flower tomorrow (running pbp in the back and cns17 in the front). room at 1 week is in H & G.

I did hit everything with some epsome salt and it seemed to greatly help the mg/s issues. ill post calculations for the mgso4 tomorrow...

Everything is looking ok, and growing well. But its not quite as turgid as i would like to see... any ideas?

That is about twenty days in the UC then? That looks awesome. I hope my girls will get that big by the time I hit that mark in my uc. Luckily my root system is blowing up first which is what my strain likes to do before it starts growing up top

U still letting pH drift from 5.1-6.0?

Plants look as if they could benefit from some added silica/potash to strengthen stalk and stem and it seems as though those minerals are more available around 5.8-6.2. Might be worth dialing in one your systems to that pH range and see if if doesn't enhance your plants over all turgidity and rigidity.....just a thought.

BTW.....your plants look awesome.
