That type of water consumption is very typical for how much plant you have for 5 gallons of water.  That's why you usually have a reservoir attached to a DWC system to help supply the plants with more water and nutrients. 


With only 5 gallons of water to feed off of you are going to start having pretty dramatic swings in PPM and pH when you get to flowering with only 5 gallons of water.  I would recommend adding a circulating reservoir to it so that you can avoid issues during flowering.  It's very cheap and easy to do.

It would be best to get the root mass out of your dwc.  If you absolutely can't, then add hygrozyme on regular intervals into your bucket.  This will help break down the root system.  I would also make sure to change very frequently.


Your diagram is exactly what I would recommend doing.  Except that I would increase the size of the reservoir.  The more water your plants have to draw off of, the milder your pH and PPM swings will be.  It will also help keep the temperature of the water in a reasonable range.

Yeah I saw those but I don't see anything sticking out of it.  You can have new stems grow out of areas like that.  I don't see any sex organs though.

No one can tell you how much it's going to stretch.  My main strain AT LEAST doubles in size.

It all depends on how lazy I'm feeling.  In that pic I did trim off the bottom third, but those plants are also about 3 feet tall. '

However in this pic even though you can't see the bottom portion 


I did little to no trimming.  All the little underdeveloped buds just added to my bubble hash and butter.

Well your just over 2 weeks.  You probably have another week of them stretching, but it "should" start slowing down.  Another option is to get Bushmaster if your grow store carries it.  I haven't personally used it, but have heard that it works to stop stretching when you want it to.


Or just continue to tie down the growing tips.  You can bend the very tops almost directly down.

There are not ill side effects from it.  Just causes more branching and helps keep the plant from getting as tall.  I tie down until they stop stretching.

Are you using any additives?  What's the water temp?

I'd throw some h2o2 in there just to be careful.  It's not uncommon for them to not stay perfectly white throughout the grow.

Make a circulating system and have a nice large reservoir.  This will keep your pH and PPM in balance longer and help keep the temps down.

For a temp fix you can freeze water in a bottle and stick it in the bucket.

I would use a PK boost like kool bloom or PK 13/14

Leaves are hooked because of heat stress most likely.
