Gelato hydroponics

So refilled the res tank. My calculations were off at the start. The PPM'S were a bit high, sitting at 1450. I needed them to be below 1300 as I felt the plant does better on the low side with nutrients. I raised the water level to 8 from 6 gallons and brought the PPM down to 1290. I topped the plant. This is my first time in 6 grows, so its something new. Hopefully it works and I'm not stuck use the FIM method. As of day 19 I took off some fan leaves. Ill slowly remove all the giant fan leaves over the course of the next week so I can get the "lollipop" effect when flowering starts. I have a feeling this plant will end up being a beast.
