lol i know im slacking i dont have a PPM Meter but when i look usually the rez is completely drunk down i have no leaks in the rez. Im thinkin they may need to be upped on the food just a little bit??

Well, ya start out with...
Nutes & Water
Evaporation will lose ya some water, and the plants uptake both food & water, but not necessarily in even amounts. So once the level drops, ya might end up with...
Nutes & Water
...or...
Nutes & Water
...depending on how much the plants are eatin. This is why ya need a ppm meter...to measure the remainin food levels. And as food levels change, the pH will likely change as well.

well i think all im being left with is water along with waste because my water is hard so it already reads at a high PH so thats what im thinkin is goin on they are eating all the food... So ill go up to a little more food. any suggestions as to how much to go up to or should i just start adding a little more at a time.

Guessin ain't the same as knowin.

If yer ppm level is already on the high end, you will create a problem by addin more.

Gotcha yea today is PPM day i will not come back home till i gets one...

ya know been doing a lot of thinking since lurking on this page. And i just cant wait till we all dont have to be secretive about this shit. I realize that a lot of the growers on here and just posters alike are just pleasant to chat with. One day some of us will be able to sit down together have a few doobs and think back on the days of tokecity and how it opened them up to a whole other lifestyle, and more importantly way of thinking. All you guys rock and like i said maybe one day will all be able to sit and smoke down together w/o having to worry about LEO's.

Keep growing guys, i know i will, in all aspects of the word.

Got a TDS meter yesterday swiped one for 42 bux. Also switched nutes to flower nutes 12ml/ gallon of A&B PPMs are at 1020ppms. in three hrs it was about 810ppms. Pics to follow tomorrow. These mofos are friggin huge im afraid that i waited to long to put them into 12/12 due to height restrictions. Anyways LST method is working very well for both of them so keeping them in check shouldnt be a prob.

Those staples kin pull out over time, yer better off with some hook screws...then git rid of the cord, and git some chain & a coupla "S" links fer quick height adjustability. Last thing ya want is that light fallin.

...and next time don't do the video sideways.
