First Hydro Grow

So this is my first time doing hydro, kinda just did what I thought was best with the info I gathered and I'm digging the results.

5gallon bucket
2x cylinder shaped air stones plus the side hose attached to the bucket(which I use to refill and ph test)
2x Viparspectra 600w and a 300w

Nutrients I have been using FF Open Sesame and Beasty Boyz so far, which has been used sparingly to avoid nutrient burn. I also have been adding about 3 drops of super thrive once a week.

For refilling the reservoir I'll let 2gallons of water sit for 24 hours and I'll add about 10ml of white or apple cider vinegar.

Ph management is mainly PH Up or when I refill the reservoir without any nutrients, it'll chill at about 6.0.

No chiller. Got a little clip on fan, good ventilation. Humidity unknown...(not humid XD)
Ive only opened the reservoir lid maybe once or twice and the roots looked beautiful.

Plant is at 6weeks into flower and is a clone of Church I've been keeping along for some time now. Which is very indica strain. Anyone familiar with its aroma?

UPDATE

This is actually week 5!

And one of nutes I named wrong, its Beastie Bloomz, not beastie boys, hahaha.

I do have some lower fan leaves turning yellow. I should probably let it just fall off. I don't want to make her herme.

Any thoughts on the matter anyone?

Getting close to harvest!!

Maybe a week two more? Per my notes, I set her to flower 12/27... any day now

Looking promising.
I'd start to scope the trics to judge when to chop.

That is not ready.

I would guess 3-4 week, possibly a little bit more.

Is anyone else seeing the pistols? Maybe my vision is a bit impared but looks like tips only are brown. Not so much in last pic tho

Hydro is awesome tho, I've not done any other way and I do t think I would. For me flowering is the boring part. I love when in super veg mode and you can see it's grown In one day

Thats when I have the most fun training them too. Once you flower them all the hands on is basically forbidden. Haha

But I figured it needed more time, the pistils keep growing, so she ain't done done. However, I did cut a little popcorn nuggy and its definitely smooth on the exhale, very smooth. But doesnt have the effects I'm hoping and expecting.

Very exciting stuff!
