I pull filtered air from outside and I still don’t think I’ve hit the too much light for the co2 you have mark. Plus all the cobs and the bestva’s get turned to just veg when they aren’t flowering.

$59 “I DWC about 5 plants and I plan on only spending about $65 on filters for 3 years” I’d spent that in 6 months buying water. And its so much better to not have to leave the house too. Even my humidifier burns through 1 gal a day,its never-ending.

I fill 5 gal jugs, set time kitchen timer on my microwave for 99.99 mins works well 
Awesome setup n lovely strains! I cant wait to see those girls start to bud up. Im 
.
I would make something with 4 of the quantum boards and 4 cobs for a 4x4 tent. it would cost 1/2 to run than the Shtt use and would work killer.

Looks like a great setup! Plants are loving it! Just a suggestion though; personally, I’d put that co2 bag either behind a fan or above your plants. unless you habe an intake vent pushing the co2 into your canopy.

Yeah exhaust at ceiling drawing the co2 up thru the plants. This is the first time I’ve used the CO2 bag and I am going to tell you I have noticed a big difference in the size of the tops I’m getting before buds. Noticeably difference.

Leaf tips turning down. Did some trimming this morning. Boy oh boy I could have had some clones but I’m not set up for it. Went to 12/12 yesterday. Feed day is today anybody know why the tips are turning down like that?
Maybe not enough water? There is no other Leaf deficiency other than several of the big shade leaves are all turning downward for a couple days now.
it has to be something simple. Has to be something with the water. @Countryboyjvd1971 @Hogmaster anyone else ?
I have been keeping them pretty dry and not over-watering in fear of root rot but maybe need to up the quantity of water. I do notice that run off hasn’t been as much and I used that Sledgehammer about 2 weeks ago but I think something from that would have shown up sooner. PH has been spot-on.
Did some research on this forum and came to the conclusion it is nitrogen toxicity, which is ok because now went to 12/12 and gets no Grow Big for 2 weeks. Starting Tiger Bloom and it’s second feeding of Open Sesame 1/2 strength. Cal Mag too , as I understand with the RO water I am adding that even though it has some nitrogen in it the plant uses that to absorb the other micro ingredients. Trimming up some this morning, Also some more LST. Also pics of broken branch that was hanging on by a thread, has recovered and stretching new tops out that I had to bend over.

pruned mine this morning as well, and they drooped for a bit, but I do it on watering day when and they seem to perk back up in a few hours.
I dehydrate the leaves and use them like basil LOL

Them 3 girls are doing fine now. Feeding 1st week flower schedule.
Got ppm up to 750 from 21 and 6.3 ph. run off was 5.9 ph and 109 ppm. Is that good, anyone know? Trying to learn the science of it. I think the C02 bag is doing something for me.

750 going in 109 coming out!!! Im not sure if that an error or u did use enough water or too much or… hell if she is a greedy bugger. Thats a huge jump
You know, to be perfectly honest, ppm be damned. I start with pretty much zero (filtered water, getting an RO), then add cal-mag and whatever nutes are on the schedule at whatever level they say to add it. I keep a close watch on the pH, (6.4-6.5 in) and make sure the ‘out’ is reasonable. I guess what I’m saying is that if my ppm was too high (or low) after adding the prescribed nutes, what then?
