The ppms are now 1310...I added in 5ml / gal of h2o2 and I am going to get the florakleen and the dehumidifier tomorrow and flush the girls.

Would this increasing ppm be indicative of a def? Or could it be indicative of them drinking water? The level of the res is definitely dropping.

If you started at a lower number then yes...they are drinking more water than nutes.....BUT...STOP....don't lower your ppms.....thank you. DO keep your number under 1350 however. You can add more RO water to drop them back but realize that your ratios are changing as well so it's not an excuse to do less res changes.

Thanks for the reply

I will keep them under 1350 and will still do the flush tomorrow. Any recommendations for a dehumidifier?

[Weedhound]

i bought mine off of amazon.com but can't remember what kind it is. I live WAY out i the boonies so I get everything off of amazon. If you can....get one that you don't have to empty daily.....that was someone's else idea which I've stolen along with those photos. Not essestial.....but kind of nice not to have to do every day.

Hey CM, can you start putting "Day XX of Flower" in your title to your posts so I can remember how far along you are? I don't wanna get slapped for mentioning the "H" word before 60 days.... MVP :jointsmile:

[cmasfca]

Day 35 of flowering is today. :jointsmile:

[cmasfca]

So the ppms are now hitting 1350.

Could my light be too close to my plants? The bulb is about 20 inches from the canopy, it's a 600w HPS. Is that too close? Can heat stress cause the lockout and resulting def that I am now seeing? The amb. temp doesn't get above 80 in the daytime, does that not matter?

Thanks!

EDIT: I haven't mentioned it yet, but WH mentioned ph problem. The ph hasn't been out of the range of 5.6-6.0 since the last time i did a res change and the ph dropped to 4.0 for about 30 minutes while I was adding nutes to the reservoir. Could the ph at that acidity for the relatively short time cause a lockout? I am adding my RO water into the res, then adding the nutes, then adjusting ph. Should I measure out nutes in 5gallon jugs instead of pouring tablespoons of concentrated nutes into my res?
