As the title states I have some Ice and Purp Kush plants flowering...

using GH 15ml florabloom, 10ml floramicro, 5ml floragro, and 10ml of biotonicare silicablast per gal on my one gal res.
water out of my RO filter under my sink before Nutes:
tds- ppm 211
ec- 405uS @ 82.5 deg F

after changing water and adding nutes:
tds- ppm 1420
ec- 2860uS @ 83.6 deg F

What do you all think of the readings a little high?

lights:
7 x 26 w 2700k blubs
1 x 42 w 2700k blub
1 x 50 w HPS for lower branches and small clones

closet stays around mid 80's F

Pic descriptions:
1: the nutrients i use.. need a refill lol
2: 1 top of the PK
3: a look at the whole thing ice on left PK on right
4: lower branches and smaller clones
5: looking at res/ebb and flow setup
6: pic of ice tops

This is only like my 4th grow so any help would be greatly appreciated :razz: .. hope you all like!

The res was half empty so I filled it back up to the 1 Gal line on my res.
readings before adding water:
TDS-1695 ppm
EC-2265uS @74.4 deg F
Reading after adding water:
TDS-1160 ppm
EC-2307uS @ 73.2 deg F
i'd say that's a weird change in the ec after adding water i figured it would go down..

no pic nothing really changed except I moved the light up a little more..

I had to move this passed weeks trouble w/ roommate.. but the plants are all ok.. few changes.. cant find my tds meter so no ppm readings for now.. also can only find my bat guano nutes.. does anyone know if its ok to just add high P bat guano to water for nutes? heres some pics they still look good to me the new closet gets hotter and i cant have the 50 w HPS on anymore.. my lower branches will have to suffer.. should i trim the lower branches to not waste plant energy on tiny lower buds?

pics:
1 ice two tops just below the very top
2 ice again the top growing past the lights.. ony the leaves are burning not the bud, i just wanna see what happens..
3 a look at the new closet
4 the lower branches of both plants
5 the second highest top on the PK
6 the very top of the PK

I'm half way through my 6th week since change the light to 12/12. I found my TDS meter so I decided to change the water. Readings in pic 1. I also found some Kool Bloom, pink powder, in the same box so I added the recommended 1/4tsp per gal. in to the nute mix this time. I believe it works best from weeks 3-7. Its strong stuff with a NPK of 2-45-28, hopefully it will really help. The titles of the pics should explain what they are of...
Tell me what ya think so far?

Are your PPM's still creeping up in between topping off your rez?

If so, you may want to dial back the nutes slightly. If the PPM is creeping, as you may know, the plants are not using some of the nutes your are putting in. If there is no nute burn, then this isn't hurting anything...

BUT, you are wasting some nutes = $$ and I try to not do that, in order to grow bud for as cheap as possible. Just some friendly advice.

What is your ventilation/airflow system/method? I would def. try to get the daytime temps at least 82f max. Unless you are running CO2, 78f would be best.

Overall things are looking great! Rep +

actually just a fan pointed at them when i can have the closet open.. so it does get hot sometimes like really hot high 90's.. but they look good.. about the nutes i've been using the same bottles for a year now (pic of them in the first post) lol, what do you think i should shoot for right after a water change. thanks for the rep too

i was thinking about trying to make some colloidal silver to make some fem seeds.. that would be awesome.. i haven't look too much into it.. i have a clone i took from her before i switched the mother to 12/12, as far as sex it what you mean? like mix with a bomb male.. all really ever get is shwag seeds nowadays

Colloidal silver? never heard of it..will def look into it. But nah when i say sex is you know how when people grow a strain and they get male and female...well as far as sex'n goes, keep the male growing with the females and your buds will have seeds in them from the pollen, so you'll have more seeds of that same strain to grow..or you can cross two or 2 different strains this way

yeah thats what i figured you meant.. i tried this with my ice fem and a clone of super silver haze male i got from a friend but the ice never had any seeds in it.. and the SSH never really dropped any pollen powder that i had seen.
