Newbie needs help

[ELEL95]

This is my first grow I am 3 days into my 3rd week of growing, I am using DWC a double outlet air pump a six inch bouble stone in each, in a closet 3ftX5ft, two plants each in a 5gallon bucket with net pot built into the lid, a fan blowing. I am using Flora Nova, I am usign 3 gallons of water per bucket with 1tsp of nutes in each bucket, water out of the faucet ppm is 0.30 after I add the nutes it goes to 0.70, I am using 4 T5 bulbs 4ft long, I use the color scale with drops to test my ph, which is at 6.0, I started using Sure2Grow cubes, surounded in hydroton which was rinsed out befor being used. The strain is unknown.

My leaves are turning yellow I believe it might be a lack of calcium, which I am going to go buy some Cal-Mag. The pics are of both plants.

What does any one think, and if I am right how much do I use. I an not a veteran so if I am wrong please steer me in the right direction.

El your starving them. I just looked up the feeding schedule from GH and Floranova at this time should be 7.5ml per gal, roughly 1 1/2 tsp per gal. You are getting yellow because they are crying for Nitrogen. http://www.genhydro.com/genhydro_US/...ainToWaste.pdf There is the link to feeding schedule :thumbsup:
Calmag is still a good idea even if you dont have a problem. The label of the GH version says 5ml per gal (1 tsp) but I am running it as a preventer at a little less than half that.

Thanks tiny toon. I increased to 1tsp per gallon and my plants are getting there color back. Thanks a lot and also thanks for the G.H. link!

No, no, no! You mean their color back, not there.

They're= they are
There= over there
Their= it's their ball

What the fuck do they teach in elementary school these days and why do we have to increase school taxes if they still can't spell and use grammar after high school anyway?????????????
WTF????????
:wtf3:

my plants are getting there color back.

True dat, my bad. Perhaps I "over reacted" somewhat and ELEL95 gets a "first grow pass" on the slight grammar technical foul. Thanks for the check.

I am usually pretty laid back but man you need to take it easy on what ever your on bro. I do not think this forum is for you to talk shit. I am usually only able to log on after midnight and trust me when I get home from the office and tend to the wife and kid, my grammer is the last thing I am worried about.

So chill out, thanks a lot Tinytoon, and dont waste your time posting unnecessary post.

Thanks for the props on doing well tiny and ocotillo for my first grow. I could not of done it with out the help of the good people on this forum.

Don't put words in my mouth, I was not "worried" about anything.

lol i just hate a person that make fun of people,

I was not making fun, just trying to teach him so when he fills out a job application he might still know how.

but i understand your behind a computer and you fell safe.. have a good day! (DID I SAY THAT RIGHT)?

No you did not say that right, LOL! "I fell safe"??? I did not fall anywhere sir! LOL!!

You remind me of the California 200 spectators that stood right on top of the track and when they got run over they threw rocks at the driver! Like it was his fault or something!!! You can throw rocks at me from your computer screen where you too may be so bold. LOL.
