Nice to meet you gullie :D I also just started on RIU. I just started a grow last week. Been working on my journal as well. Feel free to check it out. If you could just let us know the specifics of your setup and then im sure we can go from there ;) As for the overfeeding, its a good idea to be cautious when introducing nutes. I think most only use 1/4 strength after the first couple of weeks. Then go up a little at a time from there based on how they grow. Good luck and happy growing. Keep us posted

yea their growing superfast right now besides that little baby one it took a major hit first week it's just now trying to bounce back but i will fimm them and supercrop a few probably switch into flowering when the smallest ones get 12inches the larger ones will probably be 12inches by next week so they'll probably be close to 24 inches when the go into flowering i got 13 plants hoping to get atleast 2lbs minimum

Glad to hear they bounced back for you gullie. I'm running a very similar setup to yours...nutes and all. Just posted new pics ;) I think for my first grow I'm gonna try topping them. Maybe just once, but wont know until I get there ya know? I hear it has marvelous effects! Keep us posted as always

np i'll probably post a pic today if they've gained a few inches i've been getting a good couple an inches a day i will top them when the smallest ones reach about 15inches and the biggest will be 24 or over i've already started supercropping one branch just to test it see if im doing it properly i think they'll be very vicious plants i'm using doggie nuts northern lights #1and a superponic system from supercloset

stays lower than 80 probably around 77
Do you have a thermometer/hygrometer? I'm not sure if it's just the pictures or not but it looks like your top leaves are cupping a little which means they're trying to release heat. How close is the Hps?
