10gal tap mixed to EC 1.5 / 750 ppm @ 6.7pH. Added 60ml pH down for a final 5.9pH. Emptied previous mix, and cleaned the best I could without removing the res, as the plants are too big to move safely.
12/15: Out of town.
12/16: EC 1.8 / 900 ppm; 6.0pH. Add 10ml pH down; add 30ml H2O2 (35%) to EC 1.8 / 900 ppm; 5.8 pH.

My inability to clean the res caused my fresh nute mix to jump from 750ppm to 900ppm after the first couple of floods. I will clean the res and fill with pH'd tap water and Clearex on the 24th. I will run this mix until the ppm stabilizes and then replace with pH'd water and "Sweet" until New Year's Eve. Then it's cuttin time!!
The plants really seem to like the new mix, as some of my branches are getting pulled down by the weight of the buds. I had to save two buds by tying them to the ceiling of my tent. I think I'll cut those two branches early so I have some fresh buds for my help coming over for the harvest.
Any feedback is always appreciated.
