Weedhound,

Thanks for the advice. I have kept it in mind while pruning and I am done with pruning under the screen for the most part. The only other pruning that will need to be done is when bud sites are being covered by leaves coming out of the bud; or so I read.

One thing to note for beginners or at least beginners in terms of aeroponics...

Check the reservoir level! When I flushed mine last time I was ready with three 5 gallon bottles and I only filled 1.5 up with water! The scariest part is that right before I flushed I added at least 2.5 gallons, so that means there were only around 5 gallons in my 15 gallon reservoir! Luckily there was enough so my pump didn't burn itself out, but I need to be better at checking res levels...I am pretty sure that was starting to cause volatile ppm and ph levels because it is super stable now with 15 gallons...

What do you think? Thanks for all your help!
