Actually I think that the MH bulbs burn hotter than HPS and they are looking real good so far. When you go 100% they will be happy

Thanks and will see how temp increase goes, I will be turning on 400 watt MH this PM when I put them on 18/6 cycle. Up to this point its just been the 600 watt MH on.Quote:

Keeping PH in the 5.6 to 5.8 range
As of today, PPM was at 1300 (is that too high??).
Feedback appreciated :)
That would be more like a flowering ppm but your plants look real good!!
Thanks......What is typical PPM for veg stage?Quote:

Wow, my PPM then is high at 1400 for veg stage but they look OK so I guess I will just leave it alone.Quote:

OK, I jumped in the deep end of pool with "Bush Master". Be it smart or dumb here's what I did.
RO water
Cal Mag (added it tell I got up to 300 PPM)
Bush Master (1 ml per gallon @ 25 gallon of RO water in my res)
Lights still 18/6
PH at 5.5 to 5.8
Going to run it 4 or 5 days and then switch it out to normal flower nutes and then go to 12/12. Not sure how to gauge Bush Master results but I am going to focus results on my smallest plant (from 1st pic its the one bottom left). Pics 2 and 3 are of my smallest plant.
Will see how it goes. :)
I forgot to ask, what is the best watering cycle when you go 12/12 with ebb and flow system?
Right now (18/6) I am flooding them 5 times (15 min) when lights are on. Appreciate any feedback.
I do 4 floods, 1 ever 4 hours when light on. Light comes on at 5 and that is flood one, 9 is second and so forth
