To answer your question from your other thread.

Flood and drain, ebb and flow, you cant really water too often, its maybe wasteful but the main thing is they are getting nutrients and they are get fresh o2 when they drain.

As for yellowing tops, looks like its in fast growing mode and its the less mobile nutrients not keeping up with the transition. Its normal. At least thats what it looks like from your pics.

Oh and 2EC is way overkill, especially in a situation where plants are getting watered so often.
Again, doesn't seem to be doing you any harm, just a bit ott
Thank you very much I do have air stones in Rez bumped up ec advise from homie he was right ec still getting pulled down and yellowing started to go away but then I stretched out flood going to go back to more often they seemed really happy I was just worried I was by choking them

I think I have them dimmed to about 80%. Had a spell of root rot in the beginning. Ever since that cleared up she's been one happy girl. Have you grown before? Or is this your first? I've done a few in soil that I could never get to veg properly and gave up on them. I can't grow in soil. Hydro all the way haha

The ph is really easy to dial in. Ive got basic water... so I need to use about 10-30ml of ph down a week. Every day my buddy is checking the ph. When I'm home I checking every day. Ive been really pushing her with nutes too. Like full strength and she's blooming fantastically. My buddy says she has a fruity skunk smell to her
I have grown a decent amount but always broke so I only ever had 1 cmh and no environment control so I've just been experimenting but man this hydro is wild

They look good. We will watch them for a few days And see how they do. We need to teach you how to supercrop your plants. It will double, and possibly triple your yields. But this run you just grow them out so you get a successful run and some good nugs. Stick with me for a few months and I will share some of my techniques with you. I had a really good dude teach me some years ago. The only thing he charged me, was a promise to pay it forward. Which I have kept my word and have always tried to help other ppl to learn the emotionally soothing art of growing. Plants look good. What’s temps in grow room and what’s the temp outside? What part of the world do you live in?

My temp diff day and night is good just can't raise when lights on I could crank rspecs but I think I will wait for a couple days it's gonna warm up should be hitting right outside temps in stride
Put a little heater in there. I got one for night so that they don’t drop under -10 degrees from lights on temperature.
