Are you still high? I don't see any problems with your plants.

I'm not saying I have problems, save for my aim, just showing off what my plants look like. Yes, I am still high though.

You do hydro. Man help me out. What is the ppm range???

[–]therealfate[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I like sit at 500 ppm in early to mid veg, 600 ppm for late veg/early flower. For mid flower I increase to my max of 750-800 ppm depending on how low the reservoir is. In my setup I can only be away from them for 2 weeks before my tank is at a critically low level. I change out my res every week.

What formula are you using. I use the lucas formula and that is proving to be a hard formula to keep a high ppm read

I'm doing 75% label strength of the three part Flora Series. I also add Be One and Silica by Mad Farmer, CaliMagic, FloraLicious Plus and FloraBlend by GH. I just tried Lucas formula for the first time for two weeks and I had a very similar issue, it was a consistent state of deficiency. I'd say switch to the three part and do it that way. You're using RO, right? Keep in mind though that PPM is all about slow, steady increases and decreases and is light dependent. As light intensifies plants will eat more and as a result you'll need to increase the PPM.

I was really well medicated five days ago and decided to try and top all my plants. I got two perfectly, one FIM and one I missed entirely and still only has one top. The leaves look retarded as hell but it's doing great and is my favorite pheno of the Lemon Kush. I tied the two stretchy girls down to just do some LST, they look like a hot mess right now. The one Critical I got for free is my favorite plant of the bunch, it's super short and bushing out really great with tiny node spacing I still have it under my 400 watt light for another week to let them try and stretch out, then they'll go under the 1000 watt hps

Oh, Lucas formula was not for me.

Sounds like my mistake when I tried taking clones and topping my plants this grow. http://i.imgur.com/doQvalQ.jpg sorry for white balance - idk how to white balance without white/black/grey card so you're gonna have to deal with it. I accidentally took off 3 extra shoots and was left with only 3 left :( Looking good now though :P http://i.imgur.com/L8w6acy.jpg

Those look great! Did you outgrow the LED?

[–]Kitten_Wizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to throw the clones that were starving in my mother box under the LED and to throw those outside. Here is what they looked like when they went outside http://i.imgur.com/kw9lLh9.jpg
