Figure about 10A per kw, flower, veg, mother(s) clones; add chillers, fans, pumps, controllers, dehumidifiers and everything else that runs and make sure you don't overload the panel or any individual breaker.
It adds up faster than some people think, I'm not saying that you're over your limits, I'm saying be *sure* that you're not.

Some pistils have started to turn brown. I thought it was supposed to happen near the end?

It might be something with the strain or it might have been temp related but I wouldn't worry too much about that. I do see burnt leaf tips and margins which I assume was earlier nutrient or heat damage.

Yeah, I spotted it last Friday. There wasn't much water left in the res and PPM had shot to 1230, brought it back down to 1000 by adding water until my next res change this morning.

Day 44, so technically, almost 50% through. (tomorrow I'll be at the halfway mark).
Really nothing exciting going on. It's getting smellier, plants are stickier, trichs are pretty much visible everywhere.
I'm pretty pissed I burned the plants, I was KO because of a health complication for a few days. I drained and brought PPM back down to their comfortable 850-900 level and they're recuperated since then. Hopefully my yield won't be affected too much.
This 7 inches bud (I measured) is one of the great looking ones.
When do flowers add on most of their weight? Is it gradual, or does it happen near the end?
Because the canopy definitely looks uneven (you can tell by looking at the "panoramic" shot from last week)... the shorter branches look a lot fatter than the taller ones.

Quick question about drying: can I dry the buds on a rack, or must the buds absolutely be placed head-down?
