~1500 ish. It creeps up at night. Going to start filling her when lights come on and just before they go off to minimize that. Looking good. How many watts is your light, tent size?

I change my res everyday at lights on. It goes in at 1550-1600 ppm, and the next day at lights on it comes out almost 1800. No sign of nute burn. I'm keeping it there until I see any sign of over fert. The plant is loving it. My tent is the same as yours, 20"x36"x63". I'm using a 400 with a cheap $20 Plantmax HPS bulb. I'm starting to see some good bud growth now. I seem to be on course with your dates. My plant progressed about the same as yours. Of course I'm 10 days behind you, so I look at your day 28 pic and know what mine will look like!
Thanks, keep it up.MrTokenPuff

Haha, I love that there are so many of us growing PE. Mine's at 17 days today, however seedling yours looks much more even and happy than mine right now. What's the average flowering time for this strain?

Nice, I'm not pushing ppm's really this grow. Last grow I think I was almost up to 2000ppm. I'm going to assume you're on day 21 today because I'm at 31. I like to archive photos so I'll show you some of mine when she was at 21. We basically have the same setup then. What are you using for a reflector? I've obviously got a cool tube and I'm using a bulb I got from the hardware store. It's a Sylvania 400w.I change my res everyday at lights on. It goes in at 1550-1600 ppm, and the next day at lights on it comes out almost 1800. No sign of nute burn. I'm keeping it there until I see any sign of over fert. The plant is loving it.

About 8-8.5 weeks. I've seen a few go to 9. The smell changes so much, yesterday it was cheese. Today it smells like Diesel mixed with fruit.

Be careful with ppm. If you put in 1550 and 1800 is coming out she wants more water than nutes. I wouldn't continually push it. Nute burn in hydro can be catastrophic. Come to think of it, what are you using? DWC, waterfarm?

Maybe I should lower it to going in at 1400. It seems happy now though, and it's drinking a gallon a day and has been on this diet since two weeks into veg. I'll have to think about lowering it.
I'm using a Super Sun 2 reflector with a TD-150S fan pushing air through the light with a carbon filter at the exhaust. Yeah, I'm using a waterfarm. This is my best impersonation of SCOTTYBALLS.

Yeah, I debated about which reflector to buy and decided after reading this thread that the Super Sun 2 was a good choice for my tent. The tests in that link ranked it up at the top. The size had to be right too. Fits good in the tent, except ultimately the reflector should be rotated 90 degrees in the tent so that the length of the tent is perpendicular to the length of the reflector, but it won't fit in the tent that way. Bulb changes/glass cleaning is easy since you just remove two screws by hand and the door opens on hinges. Yeah, I'm gonna start a SCOTTYBALLS Style Waterfarm, scrog, PE, 400 thread. I'll post some pics showing the progress up until now. It's just starting to get good.

naw, too much work to keep a journal. Besides I hate all the bickering that goes on. If you don't mind I can share some pics here. She's in a 10 gallon smart pot 10 days or so into 12/12

Wow...What a great set-up! So tempted to mimic for my first INDOOR grow. Love it...keep the pics coming guys!

Do it! Then again, be careful with hydro. It can go really wrong really fast. A few days of overnute can kill your plant. I was moving a branch in the light a bit more at the back of the tent. I brushed up against some lower bud and WOW. My fingers stuck together! I smelled them and my God. It was the strongest diesel cheese smell. It was amazing. I'm so excited to smoke her. Probably going to be the best bud I've had/grown.

I jus had g13 labs pe goin and underlying circumstances caused me to move it, at 10 days into.flower and my.buddy hund a bare bulb 400 watt hps and it fell on it and.burnt the stock clear in half. But.i did manage to get 8 clones from what wasnt burnt to a crisp. And they all took. I got critical + plus in.flower right.now. I got a few pics of my pe, that turned into a.bush. Ill post if you dont care. Has a strong strong coffee smell mixed with a hint a skunk.and vanilla. Omg it smells so good. But your pe looks fansmokintastic. Good luck man. Cant wait to see your harvest
