PPm of controller still around 450 / ph 6.1 , res tank is around 550 / ph 6.0 , been really smooth my pump comes on every 1hr 30 mins for 30 mins and has been working well that way. temps have been 75-85 with about 50% humidity. I also toped them this week and looking forward to seeing outward growth. ive decided to veg till 12 inchs or untill they have filled the screen i will be putting in.

Took these sunday so 2 1/2 week threw vegging they just exploded with growth.
I topped them and bent some of the fan leaves down so my bottom leaves can get some light
So far for my first hydro things seem to be going well. I had alittle sign of either boron or calcium deficiency so i emptyed out the controller and the waterfarms and let my back up res fill her back up seems to be fine now. This was the first res change so far of the grow.

Here they are at 3 weeks old
And here they are at 3 1/2 weeks. They grown with topping 4 main cola sites also here is a before and after did a little pruning at the bottom of the plant to help airflow and thin out some undergrowth. they haven't grown as tall as i expected them to get so instead of flowering at 3 weeks its gonna be week 4 that i start flowering and hope for some stretch to fill my scrog screen.
On a side note my ppm is at 750 and my plants are loving it, ph has been 6.0 and has been for most of the grow.
so for my flowering set up my ppm will be increasing about 100 every week till flush. My lights will be 100 watts of T5 (red bulbs) and 300 watts of HPS (2 x 150 HPS) 400w total. With this light set up i achieve 40,000 lumens, 10,000 per square foot with optimum distancing with which my scrog screen will be set up shouldn't be a problem.
Pretty much everything has been smooth and having fun sailing with hydro.

So the ladies hit the end of week 4 so i changed out the lights. I have 2 150w HPS sun systems with a total of around 32,000 lumens. Scrog screen is up at plant tops about 8 1/2 inchs. Reservoir was changed with a fresh batch of nutrients about 730 ppm with ph of 5.5. Cant wait for the babies to start budding. Will trim undergrowth in 2 weeks or so. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by.

First picture is the total from the first harvest and the second is the total. is jar is a little over a ounce. 5 ounces + of premium top bud, 2 ounces + of middle bud, and about 3 ounces + of premium shake. Thanks for those who followed and looked at my grow! Will be starting a new grow in a different area but the same equipment, I'll post a link to the new grow when I start up.
