Here's the deal, I bought a Mini Cool Cab. It has 400 watt HPS, I also bought some seeds, HeavyWieght Shooting Star Autofliwering. Problem is it didn't autoflower, spoke to Herbies and was told to goto 12/12 which I did. It started flowering yesterday. I also have 2 AK47's and 1 Barneys LSD in there that was started a couple of weeks later. I've been running my nutes at 1160 PPM thru veg, they're about 760 PPM now. My question is, should I back off the nutes this early or should they stay around 1160 for awhile longer? Here are some photo's from this morning:







Anyway, needless to say this is stunting the 2 AK47's and the 1 Barneys LSD I have in there. I know they're screwed the yield will suck on those. My question is, should I be running these nutes this low this early in flowering which is just under 800 PPM or put them back to 1160 PPM for awhile longer? Thanks for your input! I'll be out if pocket until tonight.

If you were rocking 1100 PPM at veg I'd rock that at Flower personally I try not to go over 1000 ppm that's just me... I went from 600 veg to 950 flower all increases in ppms were done slowly and 100 ppm increase usually Per week until at full strength.

What are you adding to get that many ppm's?? Seems high to me. What ppm's are you at full strength bloom? Typically you increase your ppm over the grow.

I started at 200 ppm. Then 600 and then 900 ppm, next I brought it up to 1160 ppm as you can see it didn't hurt. I'm using this stuff called MoonDust that came with my turnkey system. They wanted me to bring it up to 1500, then in flowering down to 800 ppm then 600 then 400 then flush. Like I said I've, never done hydro what so ever. Except for the seeds it worked well. They didn't autoflower and I'm not the only one. I've heard GH Bloom has everything you need for autos and ther's a post where this dude has been getting 4 ozs per plant with Bloom and 18/06 all the way thru. Inthink I'll try that my next grow.

PS. Check out my journal and you'll see what I've been through, this is day 38 I think it started 09/10/2010
