Water Farm H2O consumption question

[Jason]

On my first Water Farm grow, 2 gallon reservoir, Week 9, GH nutes using the online recirculating feeding schedule (which is about double that on the bottle).
For the last few weeks, I've had to add .25 to .5 gallons of pH adjusted water per day to maintain the proper liquid level.
Today I added .25 at 9am and just had to add another .25 at 1pm. No leaks, humidity and temp are good (50% and 72-75 degrees) with a little fan for circulation.
Adding water 2-3 times a day is normal.
If I left this thing alone for a day or two, the solution would be way down and re-circulation would slow to stop.

Vertical growth has slowed to stopped, bud fattening seems to be happening.

Is this what you guys see?

They drink a lot of water even when flushing at the last of flowering. (hydro)

OK.
I'll be flushing at Week 12, I believe. On Week 9 now.
I understand the high water consumption during the stretch and heavy leafing. None of that going on now.
Just bud fattening in week 3 of Mid Bloom.
No complaints, just curious to prepare for the second grow.

Howdy Jason, my plants have been using from 1 to 2 1/4 gallons a week. I think that your plants are, most likely, doing o.k.
Post some photos, as one can not give a valid opinion without seeing the condition of the plants.
Good luck with your grow.

Pretty normal-mine don't drink much during veg cycle but when they flower it's normal for me to add a couple of gallons on water per day-this is on a 6 plant run. I just monitor pH and check ppm's daily but once it reaches an equilibrium after a rez change it really doesn't need much attention(at least mine doesn't).

Thank you, gents. That all sounds good. My girls are all very healthy looking, pistils growing like a sci fi movie, starting to turn amber. I have three plants, like the Three Bears, sort of papa, mama, baby, so I guess water consumption is ok.
