hey 4tatude, im using sunshine #4 for my medium. i water every other day so a week would be nute, nute, water. For your gdp how do you know theyre eating 1500 ppm? on my last run i was fine hitting the plants with the formula im following. this run it seems like it getting burned. My day temps are around 68-72 and off temps could get as low at 50's.

mine are eating 1500ppm because thats where they stop geting tip burn. i feed every water on every other day, not water feed water feed. i know a lot of people do but these girls are pigs lol, if they werent such heavy feeders i would still feed every time just lower the nute ppms. they will not tolorate nutes thisa high soon and ill back them off later in flower to accomidate that. the #4 is supposed to be a great mix, mongo raves about it. maby he will pop in and comment

here is a mix that might work. if you dont mind ripping the shit out your spinal cord.
1 bag sunshine mix # 4 3.8 compressed bail, 2 bags of light warrior 1.5, 3 cups of actino iron.
full strength nutes every watering. feed, feed, feed, and feed. never flushing (but use drip clean)
just try it. ive only been to the doctors 9 times in 4 years from this system. Back pains.....

yea im running the same strain. i feed tomorrow i cant wait to ph and measure the ppm i been hitting it at. I should ph to 6.5 since im in soil. as for ppm im guessing its really high. to adjust ppm i add more water to bring it down right?

if your using straight sunshine mix #4 3.8 compressed amending nothing, your not in soil. your in hydro bro. u might want to lower your ph.

my last run my friend didn't tell me the watering schedule so i hit it with nutes every time i watered up until week 5 until i told him bout it and he told me i was suppose to hit it with nute, nute, water. they ended up turning out fine. i have another friend who does water, water, nute. on nute day he hits the plants with over 2000ppm of AN nutes. his comes out good too. he does that with his gdp and blackberry.

thanks on the correction for PH.

my bad, i dude at my hydro store told me it was, lol.
there is a debate re this, its suposed to be a soilless mix. some say treat like soil others say like hydro. ive personally seen the wy it responds if treated like hydro and can vouch it will out perform if treated like soil. i personally havent used it but have seen the results.
