epsom salt is good for mag. i dont see why you couldnt add that?
seaweed will do wonders for ur plants! just dont spray them all the time and over due it. always root feed with it.

OK, thanks, wasn't sure, but I do know in past outdoor grows didn’t need much nutes until 4 weeks into grow.

you have to learn how to read the plants. if they are getting yellow new growth sometimes that a sing they need a little more food. its not easy and can be tricky but after a while you will pick up on how to do it.

what medium are you using?

im still confused tho mike says to add extra p and k in flowering with these lights so how do i do that with this recipe


Flowering nute tea mix:
2/3 cup Peruvian Seabird Guano
2/3 cup Earth Worm Castings
2/3 cup High P Guano (Indonesian or Jamaican)
5 tsp. Maxicrop 1-0-4 powdered kelp extract
(That makes the "dry mix". You can make all you want and save it to use later.)
Mix with water @ 2 cups of dry mix into 5 gallons of water to make the tea.
To that 5 gallons of tea add:
5 tbs. Liquid Karma
5 tbs. Black Strap Molasses
Use it to water with EVERY watering.

thats y the yellowing is around the budsites right

there is no directions on most of this stuff

this is what mike said on his ebay page

Recommended to start the light at 36 to 38 inches and let your plants grow up to the light. Some plants can grow right up to the light and touch the glass some might need a minimum of 16 inches between the light and the canopy. Spectra LED's are extremely intense LED grow lights with high PAR, with that said please make sure you use a nutrient that provides a full spectrum of micro and macro nutes, I have also seen increased results by bumping up the potassium and phosphorus intake as soon as I switch to 12/12.

Straight Sunshine Professional #4, didn't add extra pearlite and now thinking I wish I had. But it's only been 6 days since transplanting small clones from dispensary.

not sure but i would say the high P gunao and seaweed and molasses would be a good start. just look at the NPK of ur stuff and see what has the higher PK and use that.

man wish u would have hit me up before using that SS#4 thats my stuff and perlite is needed. a great mix is a bale of SS#4 to a big bag of chunky perlite. the perlite will also help with the PH issue u might be because peat moss gose acid really fast and bad, you need to use dolomite lime or perlite to help with that. keep a eye on your run off and see? somtimes you will be good because u have a batch that has a good amount of lime in it and PH will be ok

I'll check runoff if I ever get to water it, only 6 days into it, I could transplant and add 1/2 bale to -1/2 bag of chunky, could even reuse existing I would imagine. Is the danger of shock worth it?

i would transplant even though u can get shock ur can get root rot with lack of O2. u ca either water less and more often or u can transplant. i would try the less water and more often to see how that works. always pick up ur pots and if water is sitting on the bottom of the pot just leave it so the roots will go to it or els if the bottom stays too wet u might get rot

Thinking I might transplant into 3 gallon smart pots, after all they are still smaller than the one gallon plants being sold. I'll hit them with some b stuff and hope for the best.

So this is plan of attack. 1. purchase bag of chunky pearllite, 2. mix half that bag with half of bag left from soil. 3. Get plants wet and remove plants from old pots. 4. Fill new pots with new mix and wet down with water - well water non chlorine - 133 ppm plus some B1 -read ph on runoff(?) and wait for the plants to grow healthy wealthy and wise.

any thoughts?

sounds good. if u already have B1 use it but dont buy none if you dont. use seaweed for sure will help reduce shock big time

i held off on flowering today. i want to let the small ones catch up. their growing crazy fast once i put in the new lights and lowered them to about 28" i am working my way down each day. the middle girls are getting big, just have some of the smaller ones that have been runts since day one i want to get a little bigger, no sense to lose the extra yield over a few more days.

i notice one weird things after i bottom fed, the res had a bunch of sand looking crystals left when the water was sucked up, not sure f its salts or what? never seen that before its very shiny looking sand stuff. i have no clue whats thats from? something to do with the nutes i am sure? Dosent seem like a bad thing, plants are very happy.
