Yeah, it appears to happen at different times for different strains - just depends on what the plant is needing and different times I guess. I think the issue came up with my TD and I didn't even realize it... rookie mistake, as it was my first time growing with RO water.

wow dawgie dawg, you have a lot going on in your beautiful garden.
i think your plants look super healthy. they are getting so tall. the yellowing on the tips is prob nitrogen deficency.
What i have learned about light height to the plants is dependant on strain . some strains will get leaf burn and bleaching more than others if the light is too close.
BUT if you want to stop the stretch your light needs to be close. I think 4 inches is way way too close. i would back it off .
Let me go find my light distance chart for you.. and i will post it for you.
also when you think about your light height do you look at how the light is projecting in the entire tent.. is it hitting all of your plants?

i pretty much just measure my nutes before my first add back if they have dropped i can go higher and if the rise i need to go lower etc. anything after u add r/o water wont give u a true figure because u have diluted the res.
i also follow scottyballs rule of only adding back r/o water and u measure your add backs so once u have added back enough to fully fill the res its time for a res change and u can make any necessary adjustments.
thats just how i interpreted scottyballs journal it works for me, i hope it helps
