@Kingflipper What do you think bro??

Hey med, so I have had to drop my EC a lot in the last week and when I did my res change I had to set it at 1 EC but even setting it this low it has still climbed to 1.1 but the thing which is most concerning me is that my ph keeps dropping pretty rapidly whereas throughout flowering it has always risen and never dropped, is this a sign I'm in the last stage now or could I have an issue??

How rapidly is it dropping? It is common for the pH to go down as the EC goes up and I also see a little bit of tendency for the pH to drift down at the last stages of the generative cycle. If the EC did still go up from 1.0 to 1.1, try adding enough plain water until the EC is at 0.8 and run it to the end with that. May may start to see some signs of the plant eating itself up during these final weeks but lets keep on pushing and check the situation again at Christmas time

Bro those are some monster buds there I love it! HAHA! FIRST GROW

Hey buddy, sorry I have been busy as a beaver the last couple days and just logged in. @MedGrower s advice is spot on. I am like him in astonishment as to how well you are doing on your first ever grow. Many many people can't even make it this far on the first try with dwc. You though seem to have a nack for this! Pat yourself on the back for a job well done so far. That plant looks absolutely beautiful. Perfect shade of green, arm length colas and buds that have stacked together like legos. Just like med said, over the next couple of weeks lower your EC. And expect to see the fan leaves start fading to lighter shades and yellowing. This is good and what you want. Also, it may be possible to lower your lights a bit at this point...BUT things are going great and I would hate to change anything really. I hope you don't mind, in gonna show you off in live stoners. This is amazing

Kingflipper is absolutely right.....what an absolutely incredible first grow bud. Greta job!!

@MedGrower @Kingflipper @912GreenSkell Thank you guys for your very kind words! I knew DWC would suit me the most out of all the growing mediums as I am a numbers guy and very methodical in my approach to things, but honestly I think most of it is down to the awesome genetics of the plant, I have just kept it on the right track!
Regarding my PH and EC, in the past 24 hours I set my ph to 6.5 and EC to 0.9 on both girls, I have just checked now and my ph is pretty much 6 and EC has gone up to 1.1 so I am now going to bring it down to 0.7 but this seems very or this normal now??
King if you want to show off my girls, go ahead buddy, i would be thrilled!
912 I'm chasing that cookies record but not sure if I will get it, both of these girls could've been real monsters with more space but they are now just getting In each other' way but I am sure I will yield more with 2 plants in my space then 1.
Thanks as always guys for your sound advise

With your EC going up by 0.2 in 24 hours it makes sense your pH would come down some. Perhaps not that much but the trend is clear. Your plant likes to drink a lot of water now so yeah, lower the EC to 0.7 and see if she likes it there. Most likely the pH will stabilize better that way too. If the pH is still drifting down, maybe you could buffer your solution with some extra potassium silicate?

Thanks Med, it's crazy as I set it to 0.7 this morning and already risen to 0.8 and PH dropped by 0.15 but I'm going to leave it to settle until at least this evening maybe tomorrow morning. Is potassium silicate, liquid silicon?? If so I have some of the growth technology one but does it raise EC by much??

First grow? you pulling our legs? lol Very nice grow indeed!

Yeah it is and it does. Thats why I am suggesting to use it to raise the pH if it would manage to keep it up better.
