Plants are looking better. The ppm did not drop at all but stayed level. I am leaving for 24 hours so I diluted to res down to 150 and put the ph at 5.6 I am expecting them to eat and for the ph to rise while I am away to 5.8 since I can't calibrate it. I am wondering if I should add a few more drops of cal-mag since I am only at 30 ppm with it and 120 with the grow.

sorry for the blur. The Lens is not meant for close-ups nor did I mount on a tripod.
See the weird twisted growth on some. Is that over ferting?
what about the edges of the leaves on the big one? is it too hot by the lamps? I put my hand under it at plant level and it was fine. what do you guys think?
That big leaf in the last photo does look too hot to me. See if you can pull it away from your lighting and whether it improves or not.
I personally like to run CalMag at a 50/50 ratio with the grow nutes so naturally I'm going to tell you to add more. If those were my plants.....at that age...I've have them on 100ppm EACH of CalMag and Grow nute (RO water!!!) and then a couple mls of Liquid Karma to come out with about a ppm of 250ppm.....and maybe even higher if they were doing fine with that number.
I personally think you can raise your entire number somewhat....(I also think part of your problems are your numbers are too low) but I wouldn't do it unless you will be around to keep an eye on things. Otherwise...if you are leaving and can't watch..... I'd go with 75ppms each of CalMag and Pro grow.
Edit: I wrote at the beginning the big leaf in the last photo.....I meant the leaf in the FIRST photo looks hot.....sorry....:wtf:
Thanks. i will bump up the calmag 25 ppms. that seems safe.
Better safe than sorry......;)
running 165 ppms. 110 of grow and 55 of cal-mag with the 25 ppm difference. I will post in a day when I return and if things look good then I will bump the cal-mag another 25 ppms. Sorry for so many posts but i tend to blurt out every detail so i can get the best help possible and maybe can develop a journal for these 2 strains.
Cheers!

Things are looking good after 24 hours. the res when refilled to top level with water sat at 150-155ppms which shows they are eating 10-15 ppms over a 24 hour period with a stable ph of 5.8. I increased my cal-mag which brought it up to 180 so I have about 70 ppms of cal-mag to 110 grow.
Good, good, keep it up! :thumbsup:
So I am going to use tap water after all since it is only 130-140 ppms. The plants are looking good this morning but need to spread out so I am going to divide them into another prop tank. I have had water sitting out for the last few days so I am good on that. I am not sure how much cal-mag I need though.
I don't think there is much cal and mag in the water here so I will start off small at 20 ppms and see how they adjust. Post pics later
Ok....but I honestly wouldnt use any with your tap water....you don't need one single extra ppm on board. ;)
