ok. 2.5 gallons. I used only 1 gallon of distilled water 1.5 tap. I should have probably cleared that up. my ph was way to low with using distilled water.

a lot of growers use RO or distilled when it is unnecessary. Unless your water smells like sulfur you should be fine using tap. There is iron cal and mag in there as well as small amounts of chlorine and sulfur that your plants will use. Do you know the n-p-k values of your DM nutes?

I would add the Potash +, and the silica too. Even Pro- Tekt from Dyna Gro or Silica Blast from Botanicare can substitute the silica. I liked what I saw in the analysis for the grow but not the bloom. The silica should help keep your ph stable too and plants more resistant. Stay below 800 see how they respond.
She looks good though btw!!! any info on strain?

watch the new growth. silica will just help stabilize the ph, potash will make available more p-k
