Dont trust digital timersā its analog all the way. Digital timers are to hard for my small brain to figure out.

Had an environment concerns. 86ā F and 32%RH. Adj. were made. Itās cooling down at night so that makes it easier.
No trouble with the heat after all. They are taking 85āF no prob.
So now that I looked at my TDS meter with my reading glasses on I see that X10 next to the reading, which means now itās high but, no discernible problems with the plants, yet. With runoff @ 5000 ppm Iām now choosing to pH water only, next time which will be 7/1AM. Iāll take a few pics then. Iām seeing plenty of sticky trichomes and buds developing loads of white pistils and a few starting to turn amber. Iām not going to bother checking trichomes for at least another 2-3 weeks. Iām noticing that the ample āsugarā is even on the inner most parts of some of the shorter steamed fan leaves that get light. I got the Photone app Samsung reads pretty close to published PPFD per positional proximity so Iām running 2 100W Q panels at 11-12 inches getting @700-1200 PPFD with a DLI of 50-62. Onward and upward!
7/1 Update: runoff TDS reading 1900, 3000 in the 2 C+Cs, so out in the yard for another good flush with rain water, fallowed by rain water and molasses and Espoma Cactus fret. which has a bunch of microbes. I sprayed down the empty tent with peroxide + water, followed by Capt. Jacks after the plants went back in. They look good and getting frosty.
Photone app reading @700-1100, DLI running @+50ish

Three (needing water) Outside; 2 photoperiod Harlequin Kimbo Kush and one NLights Auto stacking buds nicely. I did feed them plus itās going to rain tomorrow AM:
NLights auto right next to the chickens dust bathing spa!:

Thanks for the interest and likes! Any insight re. high runoff numbers? Iāve put nearly 5 gal. through the 2 C+C plants including molasses and Cactus bloom with microbes. They both look great to me, very frosty, very sticky. Iām being extra careful not to touch any buds. I plan on resuming with Jacks tomorrow, if this makes sense.

I donāt worry too much about high runoff if I know Iāve put more into my plant than just nutrients. Even pH adjusters, silica, microbes, molasses all add PPMs to runoff. So unless they look unhappy, they arenāt.

I was hoping for someone to say that! Thanks!

Looking good! Like @Graysin said, if they look happy, they probably are lol. If theyāre good, I donāt worry about runoff numbers. I havenāt checked runoff all year lol

canāt add anything to that 
I donāt measure mine. If I have an issue, and need info about the soil I do a slurry test of soil taken from root level.

Thanks guys! I was thinking that was the case. I appreciate the confirmation from the experience of successful growers. This must be the situation where flushing might be of benefit a few days before chop? But it would seem to me that I would take longer than a few days to clear out the excess salts from the plant if any? I guess that 5000 ppm after misreading the meter, thinking it was 300-500ppm, had me concerned.

Iāll post a string of pics for Wk 10:
White stuff on the rim of the pot is DE.
I had the 68W cfl collecting dust so I added it.
Now 3 outdoors in the garden/chicken yard.

Here is a shot of the burnt tips that seem to indicate max nute push per light. The DLI is measuring @+50 with the Photone app. PPFD 700-1100.
