Added water this evening. (PH at 5.8) and raised the light a little bit. It's now 15" from the top of BK. I also placed ST on a 6" riser to bring her canopy up closer to the height of the others. I'll check PH again in the morning as I know the addition of the water today will help lower it some. Hopefully it won't swing it too far south.

I'm still a noob when it comes to hands on experience with this just being my third grow, so there is still time for me to muck it up. LOL. I think I've just been lucky so far. Glad to have some experienced growers following along. Thanks be to you.
Well your work looks like that of a veteran. Keep it up buddy. I'm far from an experienced grower to but it's nice to watch others grow and blossom.
You're working miracles bud!

A water top off update before a complete water change and picture update tomorrow.
Q1 - 19" - ph 5.7
Q2 - 21.5" - ph 6.0
ST - 11" - ph 5.9
BK - 26" - ph 5.8
ST had her platform raised again. BK is pushing the light up for everyone. A true first world problem.
All buckets were topped off with plain water with a ph of 5.9 Tomorrow's data will include weekly height gains, water usage info, and hopefully some clear pics. Until then, peace from Northfork.

Water Change On Day 27
Big changes this week. Lots of vertical growth, and BK got a boost in her diet. If you are new to hydro, or don't understand from my notes why I changed her diet, feel free to pm me. I'll be happy to try and explain it better. I don't know how to say it any better than with pictures so... cannaporn and boring old notes are below. Pics are linked to a larger image if you prefer. I hope you enjoy. Peace.

Hmmm... this puts my auto grow into perspective. My plants are tiny by comparison. I think I'll keep an eye on this. Nice grow.

Don't feel bad. Growth rates in hydro are very fast.

Looked in on the girls tonight. I knew PH would already be creeping up. I'll go back in about twelve hours and add some 5.8 PH water to top them off. Notes on PH, growth, and water usage below.
Q1 - PH 6.5 - down 1 quart - 22", grew 1"
Q2 - PH 6.6 - down 1 quart - 27", grew 3"
ST - PH 6.4 - down 1 quart - 14", grew 2"
BK - PH 6.4 - down 1.5 quarts - 32", grew 3"
BTW, the listed growth is overnight from day 27 to day 28. I expect them to stop vertical growth soon and start to fatten up. Im not sure where this grow is going, but I'm going to hold on tight. It won't be long and I'll be out of room for raising the light.

A quick look in this morning and a topping off on the nutrient solution. Everyone received 2 quarts of 5.3 PH H2o (trying to avg down ph in the buckets) except for BK. She took 2.5 quarts. I'll take PH readings again in about 12 hours. All four are continuing to grow. <smh> Took a few photos just to tease the readers too. One of them a very nice nine fingered leaf. I'll be back tonight or tomorrow, until then Peace & Smoke.
p.s. Today is day 29.

Stopped in and subbed as requested.... I know nothing of hydro and I see your just letting them grow all natural.. I don't blame you in hydro. Happy and healthy and thriving, looks like I'm just here to root you on and. Slap ya with some rep... I do know that bubblicious will be a beast if you treat her right... haven't grown the others but I'm a huge fan of RQS autoflowers, one of my best plants was Royal Haze Auto from them.... great job on a precise joutnal..
