Ok this is my second post, so I hope ive got it right!! Im running 5 plants only, reason anymore I lose my house. Im non legal. Also this is my first grow ever, I have had some guidance. Running 1 1k Mh with a drip system that recirculates. pictures show drain hoses. My resovoir is 32 litres or 10 gallons. I also have a back up thats outside the grow room thats another 32 litres or 10 gallons. My question is when I add nuts to main resovoir do I also had the same strenght to the 2nd resovoir. The second is gravity feed hooked to a humidifier float to allow for consistent flow.
Also any comments on my room or help full hints. Thoughts on where my ballasts are sitting
And these plants are just starting 3rd week of veg, I think I have a handle on it
Im also going to include photosIMAG1501.jpgIMAG1505.jpgIMAG1507.jpgIMAG1509.jpg

The purpose of the second reservoir is to fill up the main one when it gets low correct? If that is the case then you would add the same strength nutrients to that reservoir, how ever if you are running a nute schedule like lucas where you add back with straight water instead of doing the occasional flush you would fill it with straight water or diluted nutrient solution.

Thats correct second is to keep original full. I flush every week and start with fresh water and fresh nuts. How do the plants look..

They look perfectly robust. Not at all stretchy! No sign of burn but I take it you're not holding back too much on nutes because of the rich green leaves. I'd say keep doing what your doing. They like it.

Then yes i would fill it with full strength nurtient solution and cut it with straght water if you start to see signs of burn or toxic salt build up, plants look great man.

Thanks for the reviews. honestly this is the very first time ive grown weed. When i first started clones it as hot and dry then added 6" inline fan and added bubblers to the res and each bucket. res is still warm but they don't seem to be complaining. Because this is my first grow, this is the begining of 3 rd week of veg and after 4th week turning into flower. when do i start to prune to create more buds, do i do it now or wait. Should i just take off leaves that arent doing anything, learning curve for me..
