are my plants shocked/big bud thread MERGED

[hippygirl420]

i apologize for the non clarity.When i moved the two plants over to the flowering side i added the normal regement that im using wich is inconjuction with a 10 gallon res.5tbl pot o gold,10 tbls botanicare pure blend pro bloom,50 ml hydrozym,40 ml cal-mag,5ml per quart dr hornby big bud, 50ml flora nectar,5 teaspoons bushmasters.All the nutes were in the resevoir at 1000 ppms and [email protected] day after the plants started drooping i left them in there for another day and then i got worried so i flushed it with half the amount of flush solution... and so it stays, still looking really bad,i'll try to post some pictures as soon as i can,and once again i apologize about not phrasing my question correctly.

Sounds like you have burned them......and Thanks....I DO understand much better now. I'm not familiar really with Big Bud but when Rhizome says things like "watch out for the fry factor" it puts my ears up. Add that, the bushmaster and your regular ferts and it sounds as though there was just too much there for the plants to handle.

I would put them on a very simple CalMag, ProBloom and hydrozyme to about 500-600ppms......that's what my hydro guy always makes me do when I do something bad to my plants.

Watch your ph very carefully........if the plants ARE burned it will jump around alot.

40ml is a strong Cal-Mag+ dose ... 10ml per gallon is more common ... :smokin:

[hippygirl420]

is my dosage to high for the cal-mag the only one and the rest sound fine or do you think that im putting to much nute in my water,im just a newbie and any wisdom would be great.

[hippygirl420]

on the cal-mag plus,it says to add 10 ml per 4 liters of water and my tank is 10 gallons.Now they say to use lower amount than the back says so i usually cut it in half.Since im a newbie and you guys have used these before(hopefully) maybe you can dummy it up for me and tell me how much to use in a 10 gallon res.

Do you have something that reads ppms or tds?

[stinkyattic]

Yes, the basic feeling here seems to be that you are using too much fertilizer- that the combination of all your fert components plus bushmaster, overapplied (too great length of time in your res and without dropping total ppms), has damaged the plants. Products like bushmaster and gravity are easy to overuse- you HAVE to follow label instructions to the letter.
You need a way to measure total fert ppm ESPECIALLY if using any type of supplement!

[hippygirl420]

i have a ppm tester that i try to keep at 1200 total on the flowering side.but im not sure how to measure my ferts.with ppm i mean do you pour into a cup and measure the amount of ppms from each additive?.IM really confused.IN your guys proffesional opinon should i cut back on anything are my fert and nuts right.My res water after adding all my nuts that i gave deteail to in my last repost make my water completly brown and soon after the roots follow.so point being i think im using to many nutes.Can some one help me please and guide me what to use

I think Weedhound already gave you very good instructions for this.

[Weedhound]

If you are asking what I think you are asking I measure things this way.

Start with RO water.....should be about 10ppms
Add CalMag until water ppms read 300.
Add Pro Bloom until water ppms read 600.

So you will be watching numbers as you add things. Instead of adding a SET AMOUNT you will add enough to make the ppm numbers what you want them at.

Then add your zyme product and adjust the ph last.
