How much water are they using?

It looks like you fimmed too deep or not deep enough based on the single leaf (upper right) but you should know better in a few days. There are many videos and/or picture guides on fimming... ;)

I couldn't say how much water they're drinking, really. How do you keep track easily? I never bothered to mark my res. I wonder if these ultrasonic volume calculator still exist.

As for videos and tutorials, I found a few, not many. I have yet to find an exemplary one. Picture/video quality does not seem to be a priority for the people who do these sort of things.

I like to mark the res at different gallon marks so I have an idea how much they used. You can also tell by how much you'd add to get it back to the right level... ;)

It's the metric I've used to approximate the volume used but since I use 1 gallon jugs it's not exactly a precise measurement ;)

They're eating more than they're drinking right now. I suppose as long as they don't show any signs of problem it's OK?

I installed my screen today AND the carbon filter (I ordered ONA gel but it won't be here until next week). What I love about the carbon filter is that it doubles as a muffler, so now I can run my HO fan on speed 2 and it makes the same noise as when it was on 1 before. Not to mention it is effective, woah! You open the tent now and you can't smell anything.

How far do you suggest I place the screen above the reservoir?

I've been very busy!!! I've been moderating another community of forums for like 10 years (unrelated to cannabis) and it's quite big. We have over 1.5 million members. There's 52 of us, but it's still 30 min each day. I also moderate a forum that helps people with my disease, so that's another 30 minutes. Factor in the work and everything else, there's no time for so many pics.

Besides, there's very little interesting happening.

Yes, SME is very wise. Personally, I imagine her in a Gandalf outfit, but without the long beard. :mrgreen:

Are odors still such an issue at this stage?(what's your RH at?lowering it will help tremendously if possible), I dislike Ona. I personally like small ozone generators with an controllable output regulator(cheap on Am@zon) for veg only(MAY have adverse effects on plants at HIGH levels) and switch on the scrubber during flowering, KEEP YOU RH LOW for best performance with carbon.

You can always just go with NL or some Jack crosses that maintain low odors full cycle / probably not found of Indica dom strains I imagine?

Love Kali, so I will drop by time to time........good luck
