First Grow with Mephisto Autos

Trying to stretch my RO by pulling water from the res and replacing it with RO to dilute. I'm then adding nutes up to around 600 PPM. This is clearly not a great long term plan as whatever the plants aren't eating will build up in my water, but desperate times ... If I can't get fresh RO by end of week, I think I'll have to do a res change with tap and leave out the CalMag. Can't let my girls become another victim of Corona. We'll see! The Cream de la Chem is just doing amazingly well. I've got two sharing one bucket, and they are just total bushes. I have no idea what I'm doing, so I'm just going with LST and not doing any defoliation. I don't know how to predict where bud sites will be, so I'm just going with the flow this time around. The Super Orange Haze, on the other hand, seems to have developed "the claw." Maybe it got too close to the light, or maybe this behavior is normal going into flower for these genetics? Both grow sites share a single res, so I'm feeling a little hamstrung. If I lower PPMs because I think the SOH is nitrogen burned, then will I give my CdlC's nitrogen deficiency? I feel like I should be ramping up the food on the CdlC's because they're really thriving. Next grow, I'll stick with one strain in both grow sites to hopefully avoid this sort of conflict between my girls. I let my dehumidifier fill up, which explains part of the rapid rise in humidity in the tent. I believe, however, that the larger leaf space means more respiration which gives me an idea! I wonder if I can find a way to measure respiration by measuring how much water is in my dehumidifier. I would need the dehumidifier to work at a regular rate for this to give meaningful data. It's something maybe I'll setup for the next grow. I think we're starting flowering, but what the hell do I know  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
