I like to keep mine around 5.5. If it drops to below 5 or rises over 6, growth slows enough that you can actually tell.
Flo is right again! If I didn't have to work today flo I coulda been replying faster LOL
Yes, I agree to add food. I don't think you really need a flush between vegg and flower, because vegging is the plant
setting itself up for flower. It will want all those nutrients stored in every leaf on the plant.
My advice is to try to keep the plant green and healthy throughout the whole grow, except last 2-3 weeks of flower.
If the plant is using nutrients from its leaves, it means it's not getting it from the res.
If you feed it what it wants and needs, then the last few weeks when your flushing it will have nice healthy leaves to eat from.
So much to say, so little time. No wonder there are so many books on marijuana lmao!

My boyfriend gets back tomorrow and so far we have all survived! As soon as I added nutes they grew another 1-3 inches overnight so I am grateful I was able to slow their growth down for a little since I have heard they double or triple in size during the flowering stage. This IS a bathtub...not a warehouse. We only have 6 plants. I am uploading some pics that I took this morning. I tried to upload a video but for reason it won't take...does rui not allow videos? I think they look pretty good considering I have NO idea what the ph is now or has been for the past 15 days. I have not been adding ice filled bottles to the reservoirs like my bf did to cool the water temp, I have not sprayed them once for bugs or even checked if there are any- although my very first look at them alone as their primary caretaker a little bug flew out but no sighting since. Figures. I also starved them of nutes and had them in only tap water for 10 days. And at the end of the day, I think they look pretty damn good! 
Thanks again for the support!
I will let my boyfriend write you guys next and let you know how bad my damage was haha...cross your fingers...

Hey guys just got home today, and have to say thank you all for helping my girlfriend out through these two weeks in keeping our plants alive and healthy. Truly appreciated. Flush did go on alot longer than i had thought/planned, and will be picking up a new pH meter right away (water seeped through the seal i found out) but getting them back on track to flip our lights.
And to answer your question Flo on what strains- we are actually in the middle of variety grow at the moment (another reason why i was worried if she had issues with the plants suddenly needing diff levels while i was gone) we have 1 Jilly Bean, 1 Agent Orange (both TGA), 2 Hash plant, 1 Grand daddy purps, and 1 ISS. They are all loving the same nute levels to make my life easy.
So again thanks guys maybe this helped spark an interest in her getting her hands dirty in the garden with me?

So here is an update from last night.
PPM started at 1200 on the 28th and so far each plant has been drinking about a gallon or so a day and ppms have lowered to about 700 so they are eating like champs already. Only going to keep tucking under the screen for another 2 days probably and then will let them get vertical but in the end am playin it by ear based on what they are telling me. pH started at 5.5and has now drifted up to about 6.1 so will add some water today and drop the pH level. photos are from last night before lights out.
couple top shots, couple underneath, the ones through the magnifying glass you may not be able to see but i was getting excited cuz overnight where there was one pistil has turned into about 4 and are already turning white form their green state, and then theres my girlfriend saying thank you guys!
