Forgot to add i put into 5 gallon pots. Some growers go in 3 gallon then to 5 gallon. I prefer to go right to 5 gallon. All is phd properly. Since using promix i target 5.9 to 6.0. When watering when so small they only get 250ml of nutes with h20 & or h20, then as they grow up the amount of feed and h20.
Okay moving along. Topped everyone but gorilla glue. Shes the smallest with only 3 sets of true leaves. Last time the gg was the biggest. We will see. Having problems calibrating my ph pen. Got to work on it tonight.
Since im trying to keep track of everything heres a good tip.
First a good ph meter & tds meters are crucial to a successful grow!
Second when freaking out your ph meter isnt working & damn youll have to spend a minimum of $50ish to replace.
Replace your batteries. Lol

@Myfriendis410 ive gone back to GH nutes. Reading my journals i got a half lb more using it. Using the 3 part series. Do you use it & if so do you add anything except cal mag?

You’re doing great!
I don’t use gh. But seems the members that do favor the Lucas formula, which is omitting the flora grow for a mixture using the micro and bloom bottles. If you did something like that you would likely need a little calmag through about mid flower.

Awesome news! I don’t really keep up with up the hid fixtures as much as I use to, but I figured you would be pretty happy with them.

Forgot to mention 3 of the girls were topped & 1 was fimmed. Its a roll of the dice with me when topping. I usually have a fim in the group.

When you used the general hydro nutes did you do the 3 parts or lucas formula? Honestly dont understand the lucas formula. Did you use any other nutes in flower?

In hydro I used Lucas. In media I use the Flora series which is a two part: grow and bloom. That I used per schedule with Superthrive and silica during veg and some Liquid Kool Bloom toward the end. Cal mag throughout.
Lucas is pretty easy: 1 part micro and 2 parts bloom through the whole grow. I understand there’s a Lucas formula for coco too but I haven’t tried it.
