i use protek as my up, all rezzes get about .5-1ml/gal at change out... and i swing all the way to 6.3 for the full pallet... you think i should swing higher? full swing takes about 50 hours and consumes about .2-.3 EC.

thanks for checking in ucme.

Everything looks amazing Man!
What hood brand and model are you using? I'm Planing to get something smaller so I can distribute the light better in my room.
Congratulations.

DS or anyone care to answer .

What are your general ppm/EC ranges in bloom/ flower?

Do you bump it up gradually ?


Thx

Sorry it has been so long since i have updated, things have been crazy.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

So, heres whats going on with the UCs.. they are insane.. I have never seen anything grow or uptake solution like these gurls in my life. The second room peaked at 5 inches a day (when i hit them with open seseme). Most plants are 5-7 feet tall and 4-8 feet around. The only way in and out of the rooms is to crawl.

And the dirty: I set solution at 1.6 ec and pH at 5.1 and within 3 days i need to replace 60+ gallons of water bringing solution to .4-.5 EC and pH to 6.1-6.3. Then i add back solution to 1.2-1.4 EC (what ever amount brings pH back to 5.1). I have never seen solution depleted like this in my life. Its amazing.

Room 1 (pbp, Cal-mag, aquashield, roots ex, plantacilian) at around 4 weeks:

had to post some more pics... what has me really amazed is that the lower buds (im talking 5-6 feet from the top of the plant and 7-8 feet from the light are chunky as hell.) I have never seen anything like it before....

The close ups are the very bottom left part of the plant in the first pic.

There is no main cola. There are up to 30 per plant.

//True... But I meant to say the one's closer to the light's? But I guess bending
is only in veg time. I've seen some NICE buds grown by bending, they look like
little Christmas Tree's.
