So what do you think?

I have 4 plants that have dbeen flowering now for about 2 1/2 weeks.

I am using a drip system with home made ring dripers (tubing with some holes drilled in). They are siting in silica stone and 1inch rockwool cubes. All fox farm nutes except for the flora kleen, i really like that stuff. The drippers are running 24/7 under a 400w HPS.

Beautiful! Buds everywhere, shiny leaves and healthy. What strain you got going? Looks like a indica/sativa cross. Really, really, really good for a first time hydro!

Thanks. I'm really starting to get the hang of the hydro.
I don't know the strain. For some rare seeds I'm a bag of "holly shit". Im thinking of naming her do to the fact that I'm being working this strain for a while now, breading, and for some reason it has being getting better ever time I harvest.
 
I'm still thinking of naming her just for the fact that the bag that I got the seeds from seemed to be weaker then what I have been growing. Just need to get the creative juices flowing. "Where's my lighter".
 
I name my every grow! Last batch was only two plants. Thelma and Louise! That was better then the grow before that when one of them was named crazy's bitch! Next grow I'm trying Sannie's Jack so the names will be Nichol(son), Blacky and Benny.
 
Some pic updates. Still dont have a name for the mother yet..............

I wish, I seem to be having a problem with my nutes settling to the bottom of my res. Not to sure what is going on.
 
Don't know a thing about the Fox Farm nutes. You sure it's nutes and not a little dead root material? When they get that big the roots go though a sort of recycling phase. I used hygrozyme/sensizyme/cannazyme to convert the dead root material back to nutes the plant can use. Just a thought.
 
Im sorry this isnt in my flowering res, its in my veging reg. the roots are about an inch or 2 below the net pots.
 
I keep the p/h at 5.9. I am only using FF and the only additive is the GH p/h up or down. I dont have a ppm meter at the moment, just following the FF nute chart. The FF Bloom is organic and has to be shaken before adding to the res. Of course I didnt know that because the laddy at the hydro store didnt mention, hey there will be a clear liquide at the top so make sure you shake it up good before adding it. I think by removing the top liquide at the top of the bottle I have remove the stableizer or soming of that nature.
 
Could be. The only time I got junk in the bottom of the res was when I experimented with putting some fish style carbon pellets in a nylon stocking for ph stabilization. It worked but I did have gunk in the bottom of the res so I stopped and just managed my ph up and down. I did get a little from a dose of Liquid Karma I added during veg which I don't do anymore.
 
I think after I run out of the FF I am going to go head and switch over to GH. I havent heard anything bad about it.
I have heard that it will be a different taste though, organic/ non.
