If 24/7 is working, don't change a thing. I have my water farm buckets @ 24/7 also. That bitch is looking good and ready to flower anytime. During the 'lights out' period there should be complete darkness, not even a sliver of light coming through. Choose a lighting schedule that works best for you, I have my light come on at 11 AM and off at 11 PM. Once you have the space sealed off it will probably get pretty humid in there during lights out( depends on where you live), my flower chamber got to 83% humidity so I leave my exaust fan on 24/7. During lights out the plants are getting their rest, I have my fans turn off at lights out and have them on a timer to come on a few times for 15 min just to circulate the air. I just started flowering my plants, check out my journal if you like......

Alrighty Heres an update.....

This is week 5 of growing and I am still on the 18/6 light cycle.
She (I hope) is about 17 inches tall and about 27 inches wide.
She has many alternating nodes and tons of new growth.
Not sure when I should go into flowering.
She is not taking very much nutes, I tried to go to 850 from around 780 and started to see some nutes burn so I flushed with ro water and went back down to 780.
Shes drinking about 3 qts a day.
I have my nutes measured out in individual ro gallons and ph is at 5.8.
Each gallon is marked what the ppm is.

I am also putting frozen pop bottels in the res to keep it cooler around 68

Thanks for all the comments and help guys keep up the good work

There is nothing wrong. There is no set # to start flowering, mine were at 800 ppm then I started the "transition" dose which put them at 1000ppm. Now during the "bloom" dose, the ppm is 1400.

Yes, it will get twice as big if not bigger, but hey look at all that room ya got! As far as what time of day is up to you, as far as transition, I'm not sure, I had mine vegging during transition. I would give about a week during transition. She is looking great! What's the strain again?
