[stickyicky07]

i put in less then the bottle said to in the res and then i only put in a little in 16 ounces of water to foilar feed should i stop the bushmaster? im a 1st time grower so i dont know if thats what happens when you use bushmaster

Number one....stop the bushmaster. If it's in your res dump everything and start over. If you don't know what Bushmaster does why are you using it?

2. Fresh rez with this in it only: Distilled water.......CalMag....to 600ppms.......If your Flora Bloom is one part (it is...isn't it?) then add 600ppms of it to make a total of 1200.
thats all .....NOTHING ELSE.

3. Adjust ph to 5.5-6.0 and do not let it wander beyond this. Check it several times a day if you have to.

4. keep your room temp and water temp within the recommended range.

i'll check in later and see how they are.

good luck.

ok i just added cal-mag to 600 ppm's and flroanova bloom to 600 ppm to make a total of 1200 ppm's thats it nothing else and ph is 5.8

Yer overdoing the Bushmaster. Should be applied ONCE, wait to see if vertical growth ceases- you should know in 3-5 days. If it doesn't, hit em ONE more time, and put it away- yer done till next run. PGR's aren't something that you use over and over.

Skip the spray-n-grow for a week or two, then start using it once a week tops. If you're not sucking macros out of the res, you don't need the micros.

Good.....now wait and watch your ph. it's been fairly off at 6.5 (like Stinky said...the very edge of normal) and so keep a close eye out for overfert.....suddenly the ph is lower and may affect how much nutes your plants uptake.

Perhaps Rhizome knows the answer to this next q or I supposed I could actually walk to the next room and look at the bushmaster bottle. I know you are supposed to pull the lights back with Gravity.....are you supposed to do the same w/busmaster?
