Gelato DWC SCROG (first hydro grow)

Res finally stabilized again, but time for a swap. She’s drinking around gallon a day (!) with minimal ec rise and I’ve been topping off with RO and hydroguard only but that means I’ve replaced almost 70% of my solution and still maintaining ppm. Did a simple flush for a couple hours with RO just to break down any salts and coming out was about 180 ppm over RO. New solution added which is sitting about 1100 after settling. I do find it odd as I was pushing ec really hard in veg and she loved it and I’ve had to pull back during flower. Finally showed a bit of nute burn from the ph and ec swings a couple weeks ago but not worried about it as she finally bulking up a bit. As this was my first scrog I’m realizing I should’ve been even harsher in lollipopping as I have quite a few branches that didn’t break canopy and are atrophying. Next run I would like to have only dominant branches as colas but since I’m using clones I can’t do my usual mainlining. Will likely slightly affect yield but that larf and lower grade will become RSO and dry ice hash so I’m still very happy. On another note, the clones I have taken a little over month ago before flip have been doing great. Gave one to a neighbor and 6 are going to my dad’s neighbor next weekend to be grown outdoor and at high elevation! UV is STRONG there as they are near 8000 feet elevation. So that will be interesting. It is her first attempt at growing so I’m trying to set her up for success. I am left with 3 younger clones to choose as a mother as I want to keep 3-4 strains on hand so once I get the perpetual harvest going I can rotate strain. I also took a couple clones in flower to witness monster cropping and had 90% success so far! These are just to learn the techniques and will just be kept as ornamentals on my balcony as it gets a lot of artificial light at night negating proper flowering.
