Today is the beginning of week 3 of flowering for these ladies. I changed the water today. I used 30 gallons, added Aqua flakes (6mlpgl) and Multizyme (2mlpgl), which came out to 750ppms, then I adjusted to 5.6ph. I also got a dehumidifier to start keep things below 55% RH.

I hate to see how many leaves got affected by that ppm problem from last week, but you can bet that I won't let that happen again.
Other than that everything is going good. The plants are growing fast as hell and are showing some nice preflowers.

So I went and trimmed off some of the leaves that got the worst of the ppm problem last week, they were half dead and were just blocking more light than absorbing it. Everything else is going well, the nugs are finally starting to come in, if I never had that ppm problem I figure they would have showed up a week earlier. Oh well, at least it happened in the beginning and not the end, which would probably be worse.

So I'm trying to figure out what strain to grow next, for the big system. I was thinking ak-47 because I already have some seeds but I'm not totally set on it.

Anyone have any suggestions? Feel free to post some personal strain prefrences and tell me why you like it.

Everything else is going good. The plants are in full bloom and are starting to grow little nugs everywhere.

So I had another ppm problem, I accidentally let it rise to 900 from 830. The skywalker plants looked stunted and some of the leaves are badly burned, only old growth though, none of the new growth is effected.

I changed the water today (a day early) because it seemed like the problem was getting worse. The ppms are at 830, and the PH is at 5.6.

I put some pictures of the leaves to get some of your guys opinion on it, just to make sure it isn't something else.

I also have been having a problem with humidity, during the day it is around 40-45% which is good but during the night it shoots up to around 60%. I bought a mini dehumidifier but it is a piece of crap and doesn't do shit. I have been trying to rearrange fans and use my portable air conditioner as a dehumidifier (becuase it also has that function) but it just isn't strong enough. My humidity when the lights are off won't go below 58% and I am really worried about bud rot later on.

Any suggestions for a good brand name of dehumidifer guys? I am trying to see for myself but there are a LOT of mixed reviews out there for dehumidifiers so please help.

I also lowered the light and hooked up my Co2, I have been letting the day temp sit around 82-85 and the night temp at around 73.

I want everything to run smoothly and with the ppm problem fucking the plants up I definitely want everything else to be in working order, so any help is appreciated.
