Looks like an outdoor plant. Massive bush

Yeah...it's pretty ridiculous. When you pull back branches, its just more of the same.

Day 134
Flowering - Day 55
T-Minus 18 days (ish)
Brief update tonight...
Rez change last night and will probably be doing changes every 4 days from now until finish. Let's finish strong!

Are we using the 500 scale or 700 scale?
I'm still using the 700 scale cause that's what I'm comfortable with.
I don't ever get anywhere near that range. When lights went out about tonight, I was sitting at about 370 (or 0.528 EC)
When I do rez changes, I feed fairly aggressively but she gobbles up a bunch in the 1st 12 to 18 hours so the rest of the time it's lower. I've been mixing rez changes at around 490 PPM (or 0.7 EC). 30% or so of that is CalMag and the rest is nutes. Using RO water.

Thank you for the kind words
I'm not sure what scale I'm using. Newer to growing. I didnt know there was different scales.
I usually let the plant tell me where to keep the ppms. I check them every morning and keep a log of where there at. I was just curious what you keep your at.
Your plant does look killer. Cant wait for updates.

Day 138
Flowering - Day 59
T-Minus 14 days (ish)
My last reservoir cycle did not go all that well. I had dropped the calmag from 2 ml/g to 1.5 ml/g and also reduced the nutes a bit. I ended up with some pretty severe deficiencies - magnesium primarily. Word on the street is that Kush's need a ton of Mag...I believe it now.
I'm now on 4 day rez change cycles and yesterday morning was the next change. In anticipation of severe PH drops, I PH Up'd right before lights out to 6.1. When lights came on, PH was at 5.1. YIKES.
After thoroughly cleaning the rez and inspecting the roots (which are perfectly healthy), I mixed up a fresh 10 gallons and went heavy on the CalMag - 50 ml's.
I used my same portions on the nutes, for the most part. As usual, she gobbled up 15% of the PPM's in the 1st 12 hours and another 15% in the following 12 hours. I've done 3 top-offs since the change. The 1st two included nutes and calmag but the 3rd only included calmag. I'm expecting the PH Drops to begin tonight - we'll see. I'm being a bit more proactive and I'm trying to narrow in on exactly what she's eating...especially in that first 24 hours.
At any rate, we're 36 hours after the rez change and she looks nice and happy again despite some of the largest fan leaves looking banged up with mag deficiencies. My next scheduled rez change is Saturday morning and I'll reevaluate - I already think that 5 ml's/g is a bit much and 4 might be the sweet spot. It's unfortunate that CalMag has as much Nitrogen as it does. If and when I do hydro again, I will likely stop using bottled nutes and just make my own.
I have quite a few pics and will have to spread them out over 2 posts.
(These little babies on the bottom of the 1st picture are really coming into their own!)

I stay from 58-65% all the way through flower. 74-77f lights on and 67-70f lights off. All the time. No leeway for big unplanned swings cause that’s how you get dew which causes the fungus problems if paired with inadequate air circulation.

Day 141
Flowering - Day 62
T-Minus 11 days (ish)
Just treated her to a fresh rez change...she always loves these The calyces are starting to swell but the trich's are all still clear for the most part. Taking her at day 73 still seems like a pretty good guess. Nothing else too major to report so we'll just get right to pictures. Two of the closeups are from branches at the very bottom just to show how uniform everything is. I also took shots of body from all 4 sides. The 1st 10 pics are in this post and the remaining 5 pictures are in the next post (cant post more than 10 pics per post)
