Thanks for the advice DTOG. I wasn't sure if distilling got rid of minerals like RO and now that I know that it does, I'm going to go ahead with no worries.
I've checked out Peters products in the past and was impressed. When I get back home, on the road for work and living in an apt. at the moment, I'm going to have Peters sample my water and then get some of their stuff. I've read several grow reports where guys were using Peter's and the results were excellent. Thanks again.

I took all of the plants out of their cups, removed as much soil as I could, made new cups with 2 holes drilled in each, 2 inches up from the bottom, filled them with perlite and put the plants back in filling with perlite around the sides. I made up some new nutrient solution with distilled water and filled the cups. I now have a 2 inch reservoir in the bottom of each cup.
The only reason I know that is because I've tested distilled water for both ppm/EC and PH. The reading came out the same as normal water run thru a reverse osmosis machine(I had one of those, water at my old mans was coming out the faucet at 650 ppm!!)

650ppm from the faucet,wow. I thought mine back in Washington at 395ppm was high.

Such a cool contest. I wish I had the skills to compete. Maybe next year.
Took some pics last night. 6 1/2 weeks into flower. Not the best pics, but you get the idea. I was moving some stuff around and I found the wire hanger for an LED fixture I have. Decided to put that on the Suicide Cheese in the party cup. Worked out just as I hoped.
How far away are your lights from the plants?
I think my 230 watt led lamp might be too close to my plants.
What medium and growth formula are you using to get plants that big in a little cup?
Heres mine the six are growing under a 230 Watts cob led lamp. Can i get your opinions on how the ones in the red room could grow healthier,
Because I'd like to flip them to 12 12 soon but they arn't growing well atm. They are all growing in ff ocean forest soil. In the red room the temps are in the 80s, Is that too high/hot? There is a fan in there. The one in the other room has a lower temperature and that may be why it's healthier not sure.

My light is about 14 inches above the plants now that they are in flower and they were about 16 inches away when the plants were in veg.
I may move them even closer over time.
The manufaturer of my light recommended 16 to 20 from the plants in veg. and 10 to 16 in flower. My light may not have the same output as yours, maybe more, maybe less. I'd go with your manufacturers' recommendation for your light. If the manufacturer of your light didn't offer a recommendation, then you are going to have to use your intuition on what you think is best. If you think it is too close, then it probably is.

The weekly update
Afropips DP x GN Thai Micro plants
Afropips DP x GN Thai Micro plants
Pics were taken when plants were around 2 months from germ, and 1.5 months into flowering. Still hand watering plants in their 2oz containers, which occurs every 16-24 hours at this point.
Our tall and lanky plant
Tiny and fast flowering
One of two plants who began flowering with purple/pinkish buds. This is the darker of the two.
Light pink/purple sister.

One photo from last week and one from today. Top photo is today.
Taking all the soil out and replacing it with perlite made for a rough transplant.
I think they have recovered from the shock and are adjusting to the new nutrients.
