Hey guys, First time grower here (not clueless) just flipped the switch on my girlies 7 days ago, Basically just wanting to know your guys opinions on a ROUGH GUESSTIMATE to expect by the information i've given like worst yield too expect/your expected average. I know there are shit ton of circumstances that effect this but assuming everything is spot on from ROH to PH/PPM . Im growing 6x grandaddy purples in 30L coco pots with synthetic nuets ph to 5.8-6.0 using 1x600watt hps 1x600watt led(160 true watts) 760 true watts total in 2/3rds of a 4x8 tent. They have been lstd since a young age so plenty of tops for the size.

Are you doing drain to waste in coco that’s what I’m doing . You could get ten or more depending . I’m week into flower in 7 gallon fabric pots .B821AF3F-09BF-4288-A58B-DBCDE8A255EC.jpeg

I stopped having problems when i started feeding them every day with run off . Early in veg I was feeding every other day getting tip burn . Once I switched to ever day I got explosive growth .

the exact same happened with me mate , that and i had a cheap ph tester bought a bluelab pen now. thought i had nute burn so lowered my feedings was just getting too much of one thing not enuff of another due to feeding schedule/ph as soon as i went everyday feeds +corrected the ph they were taking double the strength feeds with no burning and exploded

From what I have gathered the runoff washes away the old Nutes that the plant dident eat .replaces it with fresh Nutes avoiding a build up in salt concentrations.

did you just go straight to every day with run off or did you give them a flush? unsure if i should flush , ph going in 5.8 coming out 6.3, steadily doing this, plants seem happy so figure just go with what they telling me

ok great to know, veg was fairly basic with my neuts however ive got afew more addative now that im in the flower stage, some of them bring the ppm up a bit . Do i lower the base neuts so that my ppm still comes to the same total or do i check my ppm after adding the base neuts then just add rest.2018-12-24 17_25_59-.pngthis is the schedule i've found for the nutrient's im using but the ec/ppm seem real high

I not familiar with your Nutes . That said I’d likly just add your other additives a little at a time see how the plant reacts if the leaf tips burn its to hot lower your ppm . This + calmag is all I use so some one might give you better advise .C5CEDA73-2F1E-4AA0-BC2B-28C0317C636E.jpeg

The ratio's on mine are 1-4-2, 3-0-0.5, Yea im just going to start off weak go up each feed slightly until first signs of burn then back off a bit, cheers for the input mate

so i could also adjust my base nutes to using less Coco b(nitrogen rich) and more coco a (posphoate + potasium rich) to fit flowering better?

I just worked out what each of my bottles for every 1ML per Litre and all my adatives don't really increase ppm/ec bugger all apart from my pk heavy which is only meant to be added when ppms get bumped up mid flower. judging by this chart would you say the measurements are from each bottle or 2ml combined
