The pH going in was 6.7 but when I checked it (after taking those pics) it was coming out 5.6 or 7. And the I don't know what ppm was for that plant but the I checked the garden the next day and the PPM was in the 1200 to 1400 range. So I fixed that and now it's between 8 and 900. It must be too high of concentration and/or too often w the nuts. I've been following the directions so I don't know why it got so high.

Here's the new light...can you see the difference?

5.6 is too low and 7 is too high so keep an on on that from now on. This is one reason that I like hydroponics.

Maybe give them a little flush or a lighter dose on the next feeding if it's just nute burn. Most nutrient labels suggest too much nutrients for cannabis growers but 850 doesn't sound bad.

I went to flower last week and they look great. Buds everywhere.
Had to transplant to 10" containers. I've had to water at least once a day and sometime top off again at the end. The water is just evaporating. Im hoping the bigger containers will help with the water.
Otherwise everything is great.
Oh yeah I added a Saturn 5 Environmental Controller and a 3x3x5 tent.
Here's my pics:

Week 4 of flowering. Transplanted to 12" pots.
Flower cycle is about half way. About 5 weeks to go.
Buds seem fairly dense. Looking white and golden.

Both strains turned this last week within a couple of days of each other. Production wasn't what it could have been with the rough start but it really was a learning experience. I know the next crop with be more bountiful. I took some final shots before harvesting.
