For your 1st run with Hydro, looks like you Ignored the whole "learning curve" thingy, and Jumped right on the Success Train!
You are doing a McFreakingAwesome Job!
Looking fine going to be a bumper cropEC 2.0 mS, PH 6.3, 23.8C, 63% RH
Looks like they enjoing the P in the fresh nutrient solution. PH has raised a lot since yesterday. I added more PH down.

Silicate
Spray
Silicate is an essential element for higher plants, especially when growing with water as a substrate. New pH neutral Silicate contains ancient deposits of biologically transformed organic matter, plus naturally formed silicic acid clay.
Silicate’s natural colloids improve cation exchange capacity to nutrient solutions improving nutrient availability to your plants.
Silicate stabilises nutrient solution pH and conductivity which reduces stress for rapidly growing plants.
Silicate also protects against toxicity from metals.
Last but not least, Silicate contains more than 60 minerals, which add more nutritive elements for plants to thrive on.
Our new Silicate comes from ancient deposits and is very similar to the old one, however, it has a few advantages:
It is richer in silicate
Its particles size is smaller, for a better solubility of the silicate
It incorporates more carbonates for a better pH stability.
It offers calcium to the plant.
So yeah, I have now added the Silicate aditive as well.How to use :

- At the base of each plant : sprinkle 1 teaspoon (about 4 g).
- In nutrient solution : 4 g/10 L
- Powder directly on the leaves : 10 g to 50 g/m² or by foliar spraying of a solution of 4 g for 10 L of water.
About a month flowering. And I do usually swing ph 5.8-6.1 in flower, but I added the silicate this week after waterchange and that raises ph a bit so I had to fix that over the lastfew days.them gals look great bro, well done thus far.
May i ask in which flowering day they're in? You might want to swing the pH downwards a bit 5,8-6.
keep on keeping it dynamiteful
cheers
