800ppm is pretty high for week 1 of veg IMO....but if it's been working for ya....
It looks like you have your macro nutes in order.... Do you use CalMag??? Any Vitamin B-1???
CGI::::::
well its not been working for me as you can see. im going to start using calmag. what B-1 formula should i get??? i re read your ppm chart and have decided to reduce my reciculating from 1400ppm to 1000ppm where you recomend/ the blue widow looked like the NEW leaves have some tip burn(thanx for the info on yellowing leaves) so i gave it a flush and will continue with your ppm chart. one question....how come drain to waste has such lower ppm strength compared to recirculating and should i follow their ppm recom,( 850-900 max)or go by your chart at this week 4 1000ppm. i read you were in soil. does ppm your chart apply to hydro as well?? thnx again. my next grow i will definately use your ppm chart and not hit them with 800 right away, i do believe your info is helping tremendously
Hey CGI i woke up today and saw what appeared to be seeds forming. my bud gave me a OG he started from seed. it is flowering but i think it has what appears to be a pollen sac. anyway my whole crop has seeds now, so i started a new grow and have it in the Hydro section. i was wondering if you could help walk me through it. im using your ppm made simple chart. BTW can i use the seeds from the grow or will they turn both too??? so its not a total loss. hope to hear from ya
Well that sucks....
I'm no bean pro so I really don't know if them beans will do the same or mix or what.... I grow clones....from fem seed plants....
I'll be glad to help any way that I can....

I have some plants going now from seed that were the result of a hermi Amnesia Haze germinating a Super Lemon Haze.. If you're interested I'll post how it goes, possibly in another thread. My debate is if I'm going to spray them down with Reverse as a precaution.. I'd really like to know if I can get a solid plant to clone.
Regarding your next grow.. I'm not a hydro hater and tried it for a while, but keeping it simple and growing in soilless mix is much less prone to problems and much more forgiving if you screw up. Problem I had with using hydro (aero/nft in my case) was that when things turned to shit, there wasn't much recovering it. Trouble is hot weather and the reservoirs getting too hot and making root rot a problem. Also, if you have a multi-plant system... you'll loose them all at once. I'd shit can the rock wool too... a neutral soilless mix will give you fewer Ph problems.
Glad to help too.
Peace,

thanx CGI and FARMER.i always do clones but my bud had these from a bud he got. it was my mistake but after it showed female signs i figured i was cool. yeah its got big buds on it but at one node theres a sac. thought that was what a hermi was. ive gotten seeds close to the bottom of finished plants before and they were all females guaranteed, but this has bud clusters and of course the sac on the hermi. if the seeds can be used ill have some VERY interesting OG,s.let me know how it goes Farmer. both keep an eye on the grow ive got in Hydro. ive had probs with rockwool slabs retaining too much water thats why i went to the blocks, for more control thanx for keepin an eye on me CGI ! a fresh start, fresh grow should help my situation
also farmer ive never really had ph probs. my res in my recirculating is always 6.0-5.7 around there adding nutes and topping off daily. weekly res change and 2 week flush. i used to extract water from the slabs to check too and it was always right on. my problems been root rot from too much water, i believe anyway and was told. i used to water 4 times a day 20 min on with 2 gal hr drip emitters. i was told to water ONLY when the slabs dry out, so maybe when they dry ill run into ph probs?? ill be on it hopefully. i tried DWC with NO success, but i plan on trying that again someday. paid 400 for the unit!!!
my God . what has happened to my beautiful blue widow plant. i did as ganja said, more nitro for a few waterings. then went up to 1100ppm as suggested by CGI.
When I was doing aero/NFT, I used rubbermade 18 gallon containers for reservoirs, filling to 12 gallons and changed them weekly. Never topped off or added nutrients in flight (seems to risky), just changed them out weekly.. If ever you're having nutrient problems, always better to go lighter as opposed to more..
Hope you recover!
