Yeah i noticed she was starting to look sad to i decided to dump my rez and refill. my starting tap water was at 156ppm, 5.9ph, 0.3ec, and 72 degress F. Adding all my nutes again (this time 1/4 strength) now my water is 278ppm, 5.8ph, 0.58ec, and the temp is 71degrees F. so from what you said i need to add another 131ppm worth of nutes to my soup?

I would leave the tds were it's at for a few days, then bring it up to around 300 total ppm. Then, for the next few days, watch the upper leaves and new grow. If they are a little light, bump it up another 50ppm. Just kind of keep doing that. It's much better to learn what your plants need, rather than following a chart. This takes a little practice, but it's not hard. If your plants look healthy and green, you're at the correct ppm. If you start seeing a deficiency or burn, you're out of range, and you adjust accordingly. If your plants are beautiful and green, more nutes won't usually make your plants even greener and healthier. You usually end up burning the plants.

Nutrients aren't food, they're more like vitamins. So imagine taking a handful of vitamines, thinking that they're going to make you even healthier than just taking one. Doesn't work like that :)

I have seen people use a piece of fencing with small holes.
That's the direction Im headed.

Or even just some net with smaller holes.

You could get string and weave it into what you have now to give more, smaller squares.

Its Not life or death just something to make things easier

I use pvc pipe, zip ties, and kite string. I drill holes in the pvc, 2" apart, then mount the pipes to the tent poles with the zip ties. Then weave the string through the holes to make the net. Costs less then $10.

You'll noticed the pvc is bowing inward, due to the tension of the string. It'll take an hour or so to weave the string.

I use steel rebar inside the pvc to weigh it down then hang my frame from the ceiling.

So today i decided to make some changes.
I have placed my light on full spectrum (because apparently it should have been on this whole time) so now it looks like this:

I then changed my SCROG net from this:


to this

Took a while but i love the way it turned out.

I then created an easy drain systems that will keep me from waisting time filling buckets.


So far so good.
