I'll keep it short, 1000w hps 75* avg 40-50 rh bubblegum and blue cheese day 43 of flower. Cyco nutes, since flower day 20ish they are drinking 4l each of water daily and the remainder in the bucket rises from 5.5 to 6.5+ on my pH. I am running them at 1500 ppm total and my water is 250ppm alone. Are they asking for more nutes or is this to be expected?!?

1500ppm is already a lot of feed. So not sure how they could be wanting more. But a good way to tell is if the ppm ia dropping from.its original setpoint.

My guess would be you have alkaline water and as the acidic nutrients are used the pH goes back to where it normally is...up.

Hows your roots look? I imagine healthy if they are drinking a gallon a day.
