Ive got my first hydro grow going, and looking for feedback on how these are looking And when to switch to 12/12. Also my first SCROG and I think it’s going well. I’m taking about 8-10 fan leaves off the lower areas of each plant a day as well as ones blocking light on top of the screen. The screen is only 5” above the top of the pot. i have a journal, but here’s the basics:
GH Flora 3 part nutes with CalMag and H2O2
HLG600 R Spec and a few side lights
Drip system that recirculates, watering 50/50 coco/perlite, water added daily and changed now every 3 days, girls are thirsty!
Ph kept about 5.8, RO water keeps going to 6.5, using citric acid to keep down, takes about 3 tsp a day.
PPM of nutes starts about 1000 in morning, and is down to 680 or so by early evening when I add more nutes, water.
I did just take clones today, I think I’m ready to flip, opinions?
Thanks for all your input, I really do appreciate everyone here that truly helps each other out.

Durban Poison and Sour Diesel in hydro, you're talking my language! I found Durban a bitch to grow as it gets so tall. Your SCROG will stop that though. Looks real good for a first hydro grow. Nice light, PH is fine. RO water will move around a bit for PH as there's no natural carbonates in it. So you add nutes every day when they drop from 1000 PPM to 680 and you change the water every 3 days. That seems like a lot of work and it's a bit dangerous to add nutes every day (some nutes get taken up fast others don't, the ones that don't build up when you add nutes every day). A bigger reservoir would help a lot with that but the plants look good so it's working.
Since you took clones already I think you're ready to flip. You could wait a bit and fill your screen more if you like but that Durban will start taking all the space. I use 24-36 hours of dark at the flip.

Thanks for the feedback, going to flip tomorrow. I’ve been changing the res every 4-5 days but the girls are drinking more and more, so every three is going to happen soon.
