Lookin good 👍
You might want to increase your phosphorus and potassium a little. She wants a lot of it right now. Her stems are turned red, and the older, lower leaves are getting a bluish tinge of color.There are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:
1) Water level (How much h2o is she drinking in 24hrs)
2) pH level (change over 24hrs)
3) ppm/EC level (How much food is she eating in 24hrs)

Remember that the air needs longer contact time with the filter to be effective. If your fan has a speed controller, you can try reducing speed to make the filter more effective. 👍
(And keep an eye on the humidity in the room)

Cheers man 👍 yeah, most of the setup is automated on the temperature and relative humidity front. There are servos connected to a D1 mini and a sensor. Either the whole system goes on or off or it will regulate outflow from each tent through 2 separate 8 inch flaps actuated by the servos.

Planning to add more automation to the mix.
Full suite of sensors (PH, EC/TDS, Temp, Humidity and water level - but too many analogue pins needed for the D1 Mini alone to handle, so an SPI 4 channel ADC to the rescue.
Waiting on some peristaltic pumps and will get PH control fully automated, and if that works will connect up the nutrients and a larger pump to top up from an RO water reservoir tank.
Will post some more details and pictures when I finish putting it all together.1 Photo

For those interested here’s the nutrients I’m using:- TA Tri-Part FloraMicro
- TA Tri-Part FloraGro
- TA Tri-Part FloraBloom
- TA Pro Bloom (Activator used during transition week and first week of bloom)
- TA Bloom Booster (As Directed on bottle)
- Plant Magic (Changing to Ionic when restocking) CalMag (Using this sites PDF guide directions)
- Ionic PK Boost (As directed on bottle minimum spec - Thanks YYCannabis for the tip!)
- PH Up and Down (Used very rarely after initial stabilising each water change)
- Flairform Pythoff (As directed, minimum dosing spec for run to waste setups)

Some pics a few days on.
I diluted the nutrient water mix to bring it <1500ppm, at 1750ppm I was seeing signs of stress, nutrient burn on leaf tips, less water uptake etc.
Still seeing some red on stems so will keep dosing with PK boost when adding the daily 5L of water.
Going to late bloom nutrient schedule in 5 days.4 Photos

Flushed system and changed to late bloom nutrient mix. Also reduced light to 11 hours on time based on some advice I was shared on another thread.
A few pics of the girls. Think towards the end the evaporation caused a slight spike in ppm for the last few days. Definitely some orange spot burns on the leaves and curled tips. Hopefully not too far gone though.3 Photos

If I were to stick to my original timeline for these then as I noted in my reply above there’d be 10 days to go. But after some reading and some consideration, I think these girls are pretty much ready. I’ll start topping off with distilled water over the next 2 days to dilute down to below 200ppm (Only TA Final Part Ripen in with distilled water at the moment) @ currently 630ppm.
When it’s under 200ppm for 24 hours I’ll then flush both the DWC tank and Reservoir tank and go to distilled water only @ PH6.2 for 36-48 hours.
For those interested, here’s the PH, TDS and EC log along with nutrient levels per gallon.
