Second grow same problemo

[greenracer]

To fully answer,

Working off 500 ppms conversion. Part A has 3.7-0-0 and B is 2.5-2.2-5.7. Voodoo has none, just a bubblegum supplement with no NPK.

B-52 is 2-1-4.

Wow I'm on a roll here!

So the last formula was:

Advanced Nutrients' Nutrient Calculator - Analyze Soil Chemistry and Plant Nutrient Levels for Your Hydroponic or Indoor Garden.

Make sure to put in Sensi 2 Part, Veg, then you can find all the info out on my last grow there.

I also have some CalMax sitting around if that helps, been itching to use it.

NEW GROW is off the labels, so I did his (putting in only A + B tonight from same for now, can change this at any time BTW) which comes off the LABEL of the respective products, hitting the low side of things on all parts, is this:

A + B 60ml
ME Tea 100ml
B-52 30 ml
Sensizym 150 ml
Voodoo 240 ml
Carboload (suggestion from another site, helps the beneficial bacteria thrive *cough* 60ml

Muchas gracias and bluntos tardes, I needa toka

PH not rising so much this time around, but really was a roller coaster the first grow when I used the nute calc.

[Weedhound]

Yeah....you've got too much candy and not enough base nutes. Also everything you listed had nitrogen in it and I think that's where that is coming from as well. I'd cut your nutes way back and stick with the basics.

....you said you have already.

If you are using tap water you shouldn't need CalMag.....it's really to be used with RO and/or distilled.

I think you've got the idea that more is better....and a hell-of-a-lot is best. I just don't think that's true in hydro......or in other things necessarily either.

Good luck. :jointsmile:

Cool thanks 'hound. I did go through the first one trying to just barely burn the tips the whole time, with that exact attitude. Why not, it's a weed right? But so much more...

anyway, I flushed for 36 hours (on the feeding schedule of 4 X in 18 hours) and then just went with base A + B. Nothing too big to note but it's only been 18 hours since. I will update with pics, probably tomorrow on that one.

Do you think I might be feeding too often? The rocks are moist by the time the next feed occurs right now. So after 4 hours they are moist from about 1 inch down. 15 min feed cycle.


I checked dejayou30's grows, not too far off from my own there. I do top these ladies a few times during the veg process, enough to put out some fat bushes. That seems to be the only difference. Oh and filling the res with rocks, I need a darn lid for the res to cut out having to use so many rocks.

[Weedhound]

I see hydroton....is that your only medium? Sorry if you said that already but I missed it.

[greenracer]

There are some 1in rockwool cubes in there from cloning, but yes mainly hydrotron. I switched to neoprene for the 3rd, which is doing it's thing under the MH and some CFLs right now.

[Weedhound]

I'm afraid I honestly don't know the answer to your question.....i alway thought hydroton was a good medium to water 24/7 with....airy.....doesn't hold water......so I'm not sure about your E and F. Sorry.

[dejayou30]

Your pictures in the first post scream nitrogen toxicity to me, just judging by the color of the leaves. Your application seems technical to me since I'm a n00b so I can't really give any more input. Sorry! :jointsmile:

[greenracer]

Thanks dejayou30. I'll let you know when I make it to your side of the pond, I've always wanted to check Wales out.

Anyway, pics from current... hope this helps and if we get rolling good I'll start a new thread to track what hopefully is a good one...

*disclaimer: this is all legal according to the late Johnny Cochran and a few Supreme Court justices I think but who knows if they're right either I mean what is right or wrong or even left of sideways?

These are running on 5ml/L of Jumpstart with a little 360 sprayer going 24/7. Got some rooted and growing in the next post. These have been 24/7 on light for 2 weeks or so, now are 18/6 to see if they can boost. I really don't have much for roots. Will get pics of that in later posts. Interesting to see since I've done rockwool until now...
