do you mean what my ppms read? I ran a waterfarm just add water and nutes and roll. I don't have runoff like soil plants. If you mean what I keep my ppms at or what they are in the morning i'll tell you.

yeah that's right. the only reason i ask is because your leaves look like you were starting to get salt build up but i don't know if that applies to hydro.
it could be just a little heat stress or over fert.

ya, its been alittle hot, I should have my temps back in hand now temps this morning 77 degrees, Not sure if i have salt build up in hydro, will look that up and post in here my results and conclusions, thanks for the observation and your time to reply

ppms are at 897 so where they been at for the most part of a week now. And so far it sounds like in a hydro setup you may get more of a nute lockout than a salt build up, I my plant takes in nutes well, so still looking into the salt build up thing and which pics did you see it in?

yeah in soil that's what a lockout will lead to, i am going through it right now as we speak. ph fell out of range, started locking nutrients out then salt build up.
another thing too if your having heat issues it's best that you feed lower than higher, from what i've been told.

WOW WTF Man Chilling this morning smoking a blunt when I hear a loud bam, Im like wow wtf. I go to my door and they shut down my block my car surrounded and my house with atf and the police raiding my neighbor. Reason's like that make me happy I fuck with no one bout this. Not sure what the raid was about but makes you glad we take precautions to make sure we all safe. So in the end people stay smart and trust no one, with your inner workings.

ok well do, I see what you said, about some leaves looking different so I adjust nutes accordingly.

In hydro, if your pH falls out of range you will can/will have nutrient lockout. Which looks similar to a nutrient deficiency.
Things looked OK to me, besides maybe some shiny leaves but likely just cause the plants hot.
Check your pH, if it's fine then check your PPM, if that's fine too, then check the temps. Or raise your hood if you must. I find that "cooler" more relaxed plants will do better than hotter plants with more intense light. Trust me, you'd rather back off the light a little, and perhaps lose out a little on light intensity, than keep the light hot making your plants uncomfortable. Happy plants are great producers!
I have an oscillating 6 inch fan under my canopy, running on the 3rd setting 24/7 to keep my plants happy. You should look for some fans under the canopy to bring up the air flow if heat is an issue.
Also, your salt build up would make your PPMs jump up. As PPM measures how much "salt" is in the water. So if your PPMs are stable you can safely say there aren't excessive nutrients in your solution.
Lights off pictures really help to read the health of the plant though
Just sayin ;D.
Sorry about your neighbor!

Yes it's crazy about my neighbor, Im not that close with him, and I see why I trust my gut about people, He is cool, but no one is that cool when it comes to my grow.

will have more pics today. PLus how long does it normally take to show sex, This is the second day of 12/12 for my kandy kush (just not hoping for much from this) I know not this early but is it in the first week or in it's second week

thanks I'm excited about this grow, I know people say scrogging take longer, but with my waterfarm I veg for around 40 days from me putting the seed in papertowel, I don't feel that' s all that long, for a decent yield.

I feel like SCROG is the only thing that makes sense to me. Why would you purposely use your plants inefficiently if you knew you can grow them better/bigger? I've even seen people with the 10ft outdoor plants start with a screen to get even tops and more uniform growth.

That is the truth when I was looking into what set up to run and how much it would cost, and what would yield me the most and kept running past scrog grows and was like wow that's where it's at, and will be the only way I go, Don't see how 2-4 main colas is better than 20 or more pure math.I feel like SCROG is the only thing that makes sense to me.

I did two grows without SCROG I think.... I found myself training the plants in the same fashion as SCROG, except with bending. Once I put up the screen and started weaving for my third grow I was like woah, this makes sense.
I should have been using a screen from the start but it took me a little to figure out. However, I did start growing in a cardboard box, with CFLs.
quite cheap at least!

I seen to many people grow there plants with no training get a long lanky plant with maybe 4 colas and dry weight of 3 oz and are happy and thats great, I smoke alot, so there is no way I could go till next harvest and smoke like I do, say you grow like me 2 plants at a time 6 oz of both would be devastating to me for all that work, Scrogging is just maybe 2 weeks more for what double the yield, if you scrog once you'll scrog forever.I did two grows without SCROG I think....

Update day 18 12/12 everything looks decent the small branches are catching up
Side update kandy kush is at day 3 12/12 and seen first female preflowers or atleast 2 female hairs, so fingers crossed will update pics tommorrow, busy catching up on some journals on here to many pages but awesome knowledge.
