That's fine and not a bad idea at all to take things slowly.....more grows....more fun later... ;)
If your numbers are dropping you can raise the ppms....they are eating the stuff down and could use more. I would go to 600ppms for next time......then 800 the week after that. And do watch that number....if it continues to go down you can keep raising things a bit at a time. :thumbsup:
Sounds good :thumbsup:
I will raise the ppms tomorrow by adding in 600 ppm gallon of ro water.
I just vaped for the first time in a couple months tonight...great medicine. Can't wait until I don't have to pay 15/gram!
I bet they'll take another jump if you do. ;)
I may have passed on some tips but your plants are doing well because you were and are willing to do the work involved in order to keep them happy and healthy. You do for them and down the line they will DEFINITELY do for you. :thumbsup: :jointsmile:
cmasfca, I have some unsolicited advice that will help if you are not doing it already...
It took me a little while but I have this little friend call Mr. Clipboard that I recommend beginner and intermediate growers keep handy at all times. I was growing for some time without him, but encountered issues and have learned the errors of my prior ways.
I track each nute change by PPM, PH, ml/gal of each nute solution component, etc. and it is a great tool to learn the art of growing. I also jot down the daily PPM and PH levels (well, almost every day ... I promise I'll get it to daily) so I can see trends and such. I have a little excel document that I put together and am refining so I record the same parameters each time.
Hmmm, now that I mentioned it I should finish the form and perhaps, oh maybe, post it up to CannCom for others to use?
MPV, good advice! I haven't actually started one yet but I was planning on it. I guess I should make one now seeing as I can still remember all of my readings and nutes but that probably won't last :stoned:
I thought the same thing for a while, but after starting a veg room and cloning area the information just flat faded away and is now lost forever. It will be an invaluable help to you later when you THINK you remember something but cannot quite put a finger on it..... I'll post my form for you to look at sometime later today.Quote:

I put the form together in excel but couldn't upload it so here is a PDF... if anyone wants a copy in excel try me thru My Homepage.
:pimp:
Here is the other one that I use for checking and logging daily PH and PPM.
Small update!
Yesterday I added three gallons of RO water, then upped the ppms to 610(Oops!). The ph was 5.4 so I upped it to 5.6 and today it is down to 5.5. The ppms have gone down to 600. I am planning on raising the ppms again by 100 on the 12th of December. I just got back from being out of town for 24 hours and I got home 10 minutes after the lights went out so I will snap some pictures tomorrow. I can tell you one thing though, my roommate has suggested it is time for scented candles...and I agree! I have 6 clones of Arctic Sun (F1 cross of white widow and skunk #1) and 2 clones of Atomic Haze (F1 cross of Atomic NL and Haze) and the girls are definitely starting to smell :) That has to be a good sign :D
Yeah, that's the BEST sign.....whenever something starts going funny with my plants the VERY FIRST thing they lose is their scent. It's always a clue to me. ;)
You can try scented candles but....depending on the strain.......may not be enough. I grew some catpiss once and the smell just BLEW AWAY the entire house with this horrible male cat pee smell. That stuff reeked when it grew, it reeked when it was drying, and it reeked when you smoked it. I'm not trying the strain called dogshit for that very reason......:D
