Week 8 was a little ruff for the chronic, Defloiation of the lower section and the loss of one Main branches Will probably have repercussions but there's nothing I can do now except move forward. The borderliner and white widow seem to be doing fine adjusting the Scrog just waiting for a few of the smaller tops to come up. I had originally planned on switching to flower mid week but with the chronic losing its main branch and opinning up the front right corner of the Scrog is going to set us back a few days. I would really like a top in every square but we will see how this week goes, when I can get90%to 95% of the Scrog full I'll probably switch. I'm a little worried about the borderliner stretching into the light after I switch so the sooner the better. This week I continued to raise the ppm by 125 to 150 here is my schedule. *total ml is per 4 gallons and I'm using tap water at 155ppm White widow 18ml A&B 23ml cal mag 25ml nectar 3ml fl+ 3ml silica Ppm -1002 on 7/30 on 7/31 ppm was -924 Chronic 22ml A&B 25ml cal mag 25ml nectar 3ml fl+ 3ml silica Ppm on 7/30 after res change-- 1110 Ppm on 7/31 --926 Borderliner 25ml A&B 25ml cal mag 25ml nectar 3ml fl+ 3ml silica Ppm on 7/30 after res change --1160 Ppm on 7/31--992 If anyone has any tips or advice I'd love to hear it. Thanks for checking out my grow I hope everyone has a great week

The chronic and borderliner notes on the pictures are switched and I'm not sure how to go back and edit the picture. Sorry about that, I'm still trying to learn and figure everything out. Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

One question if the canopy is tied to the netting , how will you flush ? Or change water 💦

@BigDaddyK, right now the plants are about 9" to 10"away from the bottom of the hood. Wayyy closer than I like I can already see the side effects. All the buckets are already tapped so I'd only have to raise them up unfortunately that's not a option this round. Next time I won't veg as long and maybe then I can have some options.

@Kirby08,you could add a tap to buckets and raise a little on concrete blocks or wood , then gravity would empty - just a thought 👍

@BigDaddyK, i admit dwc in the Scrog isn't the easiest thing to do especially since I change the water every 7 days but after a lot trial and error and more spilled water and nutes than I care to admit I feel that I finally came up with a descent sytem. To remove the water in the bucket I use a shop vac with a screened tip. To add my new res water I pre mix the nutes in another 5 gallon bucket then pump the water into the bucket using a bilge pump. It isn't the easiest system but it works for now. On my next run I'll probably build a mini Scrog that is on the bucket itself or something so I can remove the plants if I need to and they are not locked in.

@Kirby08, ok I appreciate your honesty! I had a few oh problems in Dwc also. I found my plants always flowered later in Dec for some reason.

@BreakingBud, honestly I'm probably not the best person to ask. I don't really have much experience with other nutes to compare from but I will say it's a pretty simple system. I wouldn't buy it for the perfect PH however. In my dwc system it tends to rise for the first two days and It usually takes adding PH down once each of those days before it will stabilize. The only problem I've ever had when when I first got it and I went off the manufacturer recommend strength. Other than that I just do roughly quarter strength of the recommendation then I add cal mag , silica ,nectar and great white to the mix and I haven't really had a problem since.

That's not cal deficiency. More likely mag. Cal is a inmobile nute, so will only effect the new growth where it needs it. Mag is mobile so the plant will take from the shade leaves from the middle of the plant and use to keep the new growth growing.Cal I'd expect to see the tips of the buds yellowing

I used advanced nutes for a couple of grow in my Wilma used as a DWC. Nothing but problems. The pH was uncontrollable, raised all the time. Sometimes I'd had shit load of pH down to correct the tank which will do nothink. Then 3/4 days later will would drop 2.0 over night. All there claims on pH perfect are rubbish.
