HomegrownGenetics Lots of LST this week, and a SCROG net installed. Spent the week tucking branches and spraying one branch with Colloidal Silver daily to produce feminized seeds. Changing the reservoir for week 6.

Harvested on day 84. Had a great time with my second diary on the site. Breeding mission was succesful! Have thousands of mature Cash Crop seeds that have already germinated.

@Bigrobbud, I'll try to give you the quick answer.
As nutrient concentration (ppm/E.C) increases, pH will decrease. If you use a top-off reservoir (which I did not in the grow) your water volume will stay stable which means that as the plants drink/eat they will consume nutrients and the concentration will slowly decrease.
If your water volume is constant, you should only ever see a sudden pH drop during a bacterial bloom, normally root rot.
I use a top off reservoir full of taper water that has a pH of 7.8 or so (pretty high but it works).
I use a pH doser (check my newer grow diary) to pH the water down if the pH goes over the setpoint. I start around 6.3 in veg and work my way down to 5.8.
