So i just started her on 12 and 12 lighting from 4 and 20. I was told to net it because i will run out of headspace soon. I waited almost 2 weeks after i changed the lighting to start the blooming nutrients. She has been feed about one a week or about every 5 days . I will cut back on the nutrients to about 1000 ppm's my ph has been 6.0 so should i raise it a bit???

Is it taking 5 days to dry up? If so then that's very long. Ph 6.0 is about as low as you would want to go, so upping it to around 6.5 could help. I've had one plant at 5.8 once, the other at 7.0 once. Both got stunted (autoflowers). 6.5 seemed to be the sweet spot.

I would give a clean ph balanced watering, no nutes (preferably RO) and then measure runoff ppm and ph. Then adjust for next watering with nutes.
I've not given mine more than 1400ppm in bloom, always around Ph 6.5, if she showed issues i just didnt give nutes but only ph6.5 water for one session, measure and continue from there. Normally my ppm hits around 900-1100.

For what nutes to use and when, the first 3-4 weeks of stretch is still veg, so use veg nutes. When budcrowns are starting to show and stretch is nearly done, start using bloom nutes. Don't radically change the ratio, introduce it slowly.

Hope that helps

I don't see a circulation fan, just a carbon filtered vent. Is there enough air movement, do you know your VPD?

I dont know my VPD. I dont know what that even is. I do have a fan set on imataion wind. It changes speed continuously. It stays on . Its just of in the corner

Ok so i dont know what RO is . I have been using distilled water and bringing the ph to 6.0 but i will come up to 6.5 so you said once the crowns have started then i should be moving to the bloom nutes. I believe they are there i will inclued a pic. And drop my nutes to about 1000 ppm. I will try this thank you. I have had an issue with the humidity for a couple weeks now. When i get home from work the humidity has gone up to like 85%even as high as 89% i immediately open up the tent and bring it down. I have an AC unit that kicks in when temps hit 85 but its been so hot lately. Could that be part of the problem. The humidity has only got that high about 4 times in two weeks , and was probably only there for maybe 4 or 5 hours

no humidity is not the problem,.
again i’d like to know what your growing medium is?
i can’t help with ph ppm ec etc etc as i don’t do that and that plus probably a few other things like light strength and distance, npk your feeding, where’s the fan pointed? so on…
these other growers can help you with that ph stuff etc,..

I absolutely agree as well. It'd be nice if you was able to flush all your plants since they're under a net. You should really flush your plants when it's starting to go into the bloom stage to get rid of all the salts and excess fertilizer that the roots are not taking in and etc. I also let my plants dry out between watering. I don't mean bone dry and I always give them a certain amount of water every time. It's better to under fertilize than over fertilize. Adjust your light brightness and height as needed and your plants will talk to you and let you know if they're happy. When mine are happy it's called praying. The leaves have a tendency to stretch towards the top and not droop. There's an app called "photone". It's easy to measure your light brightness at different stages of the plant.
