Nice progress!

Probably an obvious question but, when you are adjusting the ph back to 5.8-ish, are you adding directly to the reservoir? And I'm guessing that's after adding your new water back in? Mix, test, adjust?

Completely correct..

Here is the order in which I do it:
1- I measure the PH.
2- Add in new fertilized water. (I already adjust the PH of this to get the total PH down..)
3- Wait a while. (So the added water with lower PH has a chance to mix in)
4- Tap half a liter of liquid from the bucket.. into a measuring cup
5- Measure the ph of the water in the measuring cup.
6- If PH is where you want it go to step 10. otherwise just continue.
7- Add a couple of drops of PH- or PH+ to the the measuring cup and stir..
8- Add the contents of the measuring cup back to the bucket..
9- Go to step 3.
10- Add the contents of the measuring cup back to the bucket.. --> DONE!

Maybe @Mañ'O'Green has an improved technique though!

I see. So you extract a bit, adjust, add it back in, and check again. Cool. Thanks!

Do you have a tap/bung (haha) for extraction? I've been thinking about building a bucket with an outlet to make res changes easy. I could probably just drop a small pond or aquarium pump in for a few minutes.

This sort of thing plumbed into a better bucket:

Never add PH buffers directly to a reservoir, always dilute it first.

She looks like starting her flowering session.

Confirmed female!

Ph 5.99 not as high as usual lately..
Added 2 fertilized liters again.
Overshot the ph a little. it is now at: 5.78.

I will do an extra check tomorrow morning, to see if the PH has plummeted..

Overall:

Have a nice and high weekend!

There are a lot of similarities between keeping fish in a fish tank and DWC, this rule also applies for fish tanks for example.. It could kill your fish!

@Wian she is just showing sex that is not starting to flower yet.

This is the start of floweing and transition week for your nutrients go wit 50% Veg and 50% bloom nutrients and a little boost of PK

The the following week transition to full flower nutrients.

Just checked the PH quickly.. it was at 6.18 so that's ok for now..

I know it is just showing sex, I am just being impatient

But you could advise me on what dosing I should do for flowering or the transition to flowering...

The 50% veg and 50% bloom is confusing me, so if Mega Crop is veg, and PK boost is not bloom.... Which is the bloom fertilizer??

Should I be decreasing the mega crop and increasing PK boost? Keep the Epsom salts stable for that?
Or do you also have those excel sheets for flowering?
Please advise!

Thanks a bunch!

My buckets have garden-hose-like tubes on the side, which are used as level indicator, but I can bend them a bit to tap some water.

I forgot you are on the one part MC just add a wee bit of P-K. in the transition week.

So bud explosion is needed or can mc 1 part be enough? trying to find a lazy and cheap way to do this.
