Googled that one, pics look very similar. Thanks

I've got nutrients to 0ppm, pulling what I can touch, Mg on it's way up now, but started at 1150. Probably 1350 tonight, will get it up to 1700 and try to keep it there, but only have 4L of Mg.
What did you do for lights? Shorter period, or days of darkness?
