Those girls are about to take off.. I water right when the lights come on .. just being careful not to get droplets on the leaves.. Reason I do this is to give the lights time to burn off some of the moisture from the top of the soil... If you water right before lights off ur humidity will jump real high.. especially late in flower when its a pain enough to keep the humidity down.

Well I ended up flushing (or what I think was flushing) last night at the half way point, 6 hours in. I ran water in the buckets til it reached the top, let the water go down to soil level and filled again. I let them drain a little before putting them back in their run off pans. Ended up emptying the pans a few times so they weren't soaking in puddles. After I did the flush the plants clawed up something fierce, I'm guessing that's normal. The lights come on in 15 minutes and I can't wait to check on them.
Good news, tomorrow I will be picking up an a/c unit for the room. Once that is installed I can move my dehumidifier into the room without worrying about the room temp.
Hopefully this week Sentinel will help me get my c02 controller back up and running. The c02 pumping will then commence.

Yea I'm also curious. Just from the looks of yours I can tell they're of a different pheno. The guy that sold me the clones said they weren't a big yielder, yet most of the lemon skunk reports I read say the exact opposite. We'll see what happens!

Talked to the fine people at Sentinel today and they are shipping me two new power supplies. I'm paying extra for expedited shipping but at least my room will be back to normal Thursday! My new a/c unit is getting dropped off in a few hours. Lots to do today!
On a side note: yesterday when I turned on the lights I was shocked to see how much these ladies grew overnight. I can't imagine what's going to happen when they start getting 1500-2000ppm of c02! Very excite! High five!

I honestly haven't read much about it. Kinda scared to spray them with anything really.
Yesterday I noticed a few leaves on a few different plants have some discoloration, even after the flush I did. I've looked in my book and can't seem to figure out what it could be. To me, all the deficiencies look the same. Yellow spots with dark spots in between are popping up on leaves, but very few. All the new growth is lime green while the rest is a lot darker. Tomorrow or Thursday I plan on feeding with nutes so hopefully they will be fine

well if its a def you should prolly stop flushing a lot, lots of flush can make your soil leach all the nutes and minerals that are there and if you leach to much even feeding might not be enough to get your that green healthy lookI honestly haven't read much about it. Kinda scared to spray them with anything really.

If your just flushing and not feeding nutes then of course you will have deficiencies but if your feeding and coating your soil with fresh nutes after flushing and you are giving appropriate amount of nutes you shouldn't have any deficiencies. Thats how I water my plants using Riddleme's Making It Rain....

Like I said though BKB, reading is one thing, application is another. I can read until my eyes hurt but actually doing what I read is a different story. I'm a kinesthetic learner 110%. Visual and auditory learning is not for me. I do read a lot, but I also watch a ton of videos which is where I learn the most.
Thanks BKB Quick question for you. How often are you flush feeding?
Side note: got my a/c unit today! I cannot fucking wait to install this bad boy. I bought 3 extension cords so I don't over draw on my circuits as well.

I do it every single time my plant needs water...depending on plants size and all it could be 3-4 days. Glad you got that A/C, amazing how we spoil our plants and suffer ourselves...LOLLike I said though BKB, reading is one thing, application is another.

Update time w/pics!
As soon as the lights came on there was a sound. It was the sound of drywall being punctured by a hole saw, tearing it to shreds in the shape of a rectangle. Shortly after this sound came something so amazing......... COLD AIR! w00t w00t! Next to brand new my boy hooked me up for 50 bucks. That's a sore dick deal right there. Can't beat it
So I mounted the A/C unit in the wall tonight and I couldn't be happier. Well actually I would be happier if it was a few weeks after harvest time and I was smoking on some of my buds, but I must be patient!
These blue cheese plants are freaking ridiculous... I trimmed these things a few days ago and they need to be trimmed again already. The node spacing is really really close on these babies. Just look how bushy they keep getting...
Now earlier I posted about some type of deficiency on a few of my plants. It's not out of control and the worst of it is on two of my cheese plants. I'm not super worried since it's only a few leaves out of the whole group of plants. I took a few pics under the HPS and a few under a normal cfl:
You can see the dark/black spots mixed with a hint of yellow. I've been looking all over for what it could be but most of the deficiencies are hard to tell apart. I haven't given them much in the nutrient department so I'm sure it's lacking something. Next feed will be a nutritious one so maybe it will level out soon. If anyone thinks they can pin point the issue, feel free to let me know and thanks in advance.
Here's all the ladies enjoying their newly installed A/C!
Oh and I ended up supercropping a few branches on a couple of my master kush and cheese plants. I love how they grow back knuckles that are not only stronger but twice the diameter of what they were before the SC.
Stay tuned cuz my c02 controller (chhc-4) and timer (mdt-1) will be fixed and running Thursday! Hope you enjoyed the update!

LoLz ac goodness, now you can sit and watch the grass grow in peace >< and i bet the ladies will like it. BTW about the FLUSHING the riddleme way is right but you best know your nutes, me i have had experience with he deff while making it rain cuz am all organic, i mean fully no store bought nutes at all, so when i started making it rain ad get my lower leaves yellowing cuz of leaching and ad use manure teas which i din't know was low on nitro, so i added molasses and em to my feed which ensures instant nitro during the uptake while it wicks cuz it takes mucho nutes during that time and all is good. all i was saying is if your fighting a deff you should prolly lay of the flush cuz there is obviously something missing and flushing is definitely not going to help retain it.

I see your point mugan, but I am using something called Sea Green by Beneficial Biologics which is supposed to prevent nutrients from leaching out of the soil. I'm sure the flushing did not help without feeding nutes directly after, but you live and learn! That is something I will not do again without feeding
