Only 2nd ever crop
Previous rdwc alien system
So the plants are into week 2 of flower and look in really good.
I'm finding they seem to be ahead of themselves time wise. I have heard the cmh can reduce flower times.
On the rdwc I left them till week 9.5 and they had seeded. I'm not sure if this was a stress factor as they did not seem to herm (no bannaas)
Someone told me if they run to long they can seed ....maybe this is why as they seemed to be good and yield seemed ok to me.
I'm hearing everyone say I have to get run off but really struggling to get it as pots are absorbing everything back up....
Pots don't seem to dry either as they are on a feed timer and it feeds constantly throughout the day. Currently 6pots taking about 20l of water...
Is this enough or too much?
Should I turn timer off and allow them to dry out a little...
I did a forced run off test and ec came out lower than went in I'm not sure if that's good or bad or even possible.
Ran into some deficiencies I believe magnesium ....or maybe a nitrogen toxicity...Although no clawing. Is running superthrive in flower a bad idea as I know has kelp...maybe to much nitrogen....

As I say I am new to this so obvious things may not be so obvious to me.
Any tips or advice very welcome.
I have attached some pics of current state over last week.
