GFP - SolarFlare 220 - DWC

What going on Led Grow Light Forum,

I am taking part in the GFP that California Light Works is offering, and I just received the SolarFlare 220 that I requested today. I already have one of the older 200 models, so I already knew what to expect. Of course light works great and met my expectations, I immediately set it up over my girl which was running under the older model. My plant started life as a clone and was transferred to a DWC set-up and was vegged for 3 weeks under the SF200, then switched to flower which it has been in for about a week. This is my second grow, I also have a MH/HPS set-up that I used for my first grow (still underway, almost finished) that was great. Please feel free to ask questions and leave comments, I'd really like to keep this active. Thanks for looking!

Lights: SF200, SF 220, XXX
DWC - 5 Gal - Hydroton
Tent: 6ft x 2ft x 8ft
Nutrients: GH Flora Duo A&B, GH Rapid Root, GH Silica
4" Inline Fan & 4" carbon filter

That's a healthy looking plant. I was wondering if you planned to take slips (cuttings) from it, or only going to grow the one?
Anyway, it looks healthy and happy under that CLW panel.

I am enjoying the SolarStorm 880, which I picked up a couple few weeks ago.
It seems to be doing a wonderful job, and I am seriously looking forward to flipping the switch from veg to flower.

Yes I definitely plan on taking a few clones from her; I am waiting until it gets bigger, when the branches are 8-9 inches. She is LST'd that's why she looks all bent over side ways if you noticed. I now have the SF 220 hanging above it and the SF 200 hanging at an angle facing it, so it's getting a decent amount of light. That is until I get a few more clones in the tent, I should have three ready here in about a week, from a couple different strains. I'm gonna add a third led here soon to have enough coverage for all the plants.

The yellowing on the fan leaf is from when I left the light a little too close over night... oops.

Plant is cruising along great, lots of growth and stretching going on. I am now in week two of flowering and she is finally showing her sex, white hairs everywhere. There are 10 tops right now, I went ahead and super cropped each top. I'm trying to keep the canopy nice and even so I am LST'ing and pulling down tops that outgrow the other ones. I'm supplementing with GH Koolbloom, GH Silica, GH Calimagic, and my PPM is running pretty high at 1300 ppm, but I am not seeing any nute burn.

First pic is from week one of flowering, and the second picture is from week two
