I would but I’m just some rookie from the internet haha, another option would be to drain half your res and top it back up with clear water. Then check ph if you want but the buffers may work for a few days.

Looks good chef! Any pictures with natural light? You can top a plant any time you want in veg, after it has at least 4 or 5 nodes. I’ve had best luck topping only when I know that plant is happy and flourishing. Topping a sick or angry plant results in less then ideal recovery times.

Major improvements looking good chef. If you monitor your ppm as the days go buy you will notice they either climb, fall or stay close to the same. If they climb then your plant is drinking more water then it is using nutrients. If they fall then your plant could possibley use more nutrients. If they stay the same you have found the sweet spot. Or so I’ve been led to believe. My last grow was dwc and that was my experience anyway.

Looks good.
I’ve read that led lights do not warm the leaf surface as much as hid lights. So 28-30 degrees celcius is the ideal room temp. Where as hid grow rooms are best a bit colder at 25 celcius ish. I could be wrong.
You may find the sex shows between week 4-8. Or a week or so after light switch whatever comes first. It’s strain dependant it seems.
I’ve always found if you are waiting for it to show sex it won’t show for a long long time.
If you want to try but I doubt you have time you can take clones and put them under 12 12 lighting to “force” sex. Be sure to label the clones properly.

My compliments to the Chef, glad to see them doing so well.
I found this extremely useful chart as I was surfing through RIU.
It's not mine, I just saved it for easy reference for my dwc.View attachment 4295095
