Seedsman Zkittlez Auto first RDWC grow

Week Summary: Big week, we moved into pre-flower this week and had a huge amount of growth even with some heavy defoliation. We had a water change this week and the roots look good. I'm changing water around every 10 days even though I know this is wasting some nutes. I'm doing this as my reservoir temps are a little higher than I like and I get new Hydroguard with the water change. So far, so good with my first hydro grow. Daily details below: Day 29 I’ll probably cut some lower leaves this week and just keep tucking leaves as we go here. The plants are growing like crazy and are starting to drink quite a bit. Day 30 Water levels are great, plants look incredible - another great day. Day 31 So I’m pretty sure that I’m going to need a water change tomorrow or the next day as we’re 9 days out from my last change. But everything looks so good right now. Day 33 Today I changed water. I also defoliated but you won’t see that until tomorrow’s pictures. In addition, the lights were turned up as the plants are going into flower (really quick) and I re-calibrated my pH controller and monitor. Here’s the particulars. PPM: 1420 pH: 5.8 Water Temp: 69 FloraGrow: 10 mlGal FloraMicro: 10 mlGal FloraBloom: 10 mlGal CalMag: 5 mlGal HydroGuard: 2 mlGal Target VPD: 1.2-1.6 Light %: 100 Day 35 Wow we’re at 5 weeks. My pics today will look like the plant is a little smaller due to the defoliation I performed last week. I did add some water this morning, around 1.2 gallons. They’re drinking a little over a half gallon a day (collectively). PPM after water addition was 1290 (1440-150). This lowered EC but it appears it is drinking more than it is feeding.
