Every two weeks is best sometimes longer if there is minimal Ph flux and you are running enzymes.

Hey NG!
I am planning a basement grow with a flowering room inside a (240cm x 120cm x200cm) grow tent. I want to do a sog similar to Al's but cannot afford to set up a second tent so i will only be using two 4ft x 4ft tables.
1. Is it in my best interests to run a sog with 2 week intervals with only two reservoirs? Running weeks 1-2 & 2-4 in the same tray and similarly with weeks 4-8. Or is it much more efficient to use four different trays?
2. Also, I was planning on using (1) 1000w HPS on a light mover over the two ebb and flow tables. I didn't think about the varying plant heights so will I be able to use one high over both tables or would it be better to use (2) 600w HPS?
3. Would i be a problem if my mother plants were grown in soil and clones grown in hydro?
Ha sorry for all the questions I have been reading up on and off for the past year or so and just want to figure out these last few things!

You can use just two trays, just have a lower yield than the four trays.
Two 600's will give you more light and more yield. A 1000 has pretty good canopy pentration and should work well for just two trays especially if it is air cooled.
Nope that's what I do.
Glad to help good luck manHa sorry for all the questions I have been reading up on and off for the past year or so and just want to figure out these last few things!

thanks for the reply about rez changes.
i got another question for ya.
what is the optimum temperature for my rez?
because there are massive differences in my 'ppm' readings depending on temp.

Optimum is 68 F. You should not be getting different ppm readings, meters are made to adjust to temperature changes. Unless you need a new meter or it needs to be calibrated.

seeing as though you're on a roll (thanks again) can you just tell me if my baby is doing ok?
today i just noticed that are leaves are drooping down a fair bit.. just wanna know if it's normal or what.
i water 4 times a day for 1 minute each time and i'm growing in coco.
also, when can i start to trim the lowest branches?

Looks pretty good to me, coco is pretty good a holding a proper air to water ratio even when saturated. Wait a couple weeks and you will understand which branches need to be trimmed.

Hey NG, check out my (what appears to be sativa dom) plant and see if the burnt tips curling up looks like nute burn.
Also, the leaves up on the top two tallest branches, have only 3 lobes?! The lower you go down the plant, the more lobes (up to 9) Is this jusst retarded genetics or what??
Aside from that, how does everything else look??

I usually wait until the second set of true leaves start to form. You can always do a weak solution every other watering too.
I love it man, nice work
I would say that is genetic, they look great !

that looks a lot like my sativa dom plant, it was a chronic bagseed tho so i dunno what it is exactlyThanks NG and that is the Purple Kush not the F13. Not my night for posting pictures. I had problems on my thread also.

Yes I have seen those. The $26,000 grow journal has a guy using them, still waiting for him to update to see how well he says they work, check it out.NG have you seen this .... ICE BOX Water-Cooled Heat Exchanger?
