Chocolate Rain/Cheese (Eskobar Seeds)

I currently have three vegging chocolate rain and one chocolate cheese (received two of these freebeis) from eskobar seeds. Unfortunately one of these was a runt, which was a pain to cull as I'm only running four plants here. The fifth choc rain seed appeared light in color and small/immature so I didn't pop it. All have been vegged under a mix of 6500/4500k 32w T8 fluorescents for three weeks and a half weeks, the cheese is a couple weeks behind. They were placed under the 315 this morning and receiver their first dose of 1/4 strength nutrients, ppm meter is on the way. All three rain have been topped above their third true node. The canopy is receiving ~5600 foot candles @ 23 inches below the base of the reflector. Plants are all in one gallon pots and will be transferred to fives with a soilless mix and calcined clay. Also I plan on getting some tiresias mist in order to create some seeds, hoping for no males but we'll see...

Well the plants are looking generally shitty, I'm guessing it's due to the kellog patio plus soil I'm using but it may also be due to them being slightly pot-bound. I transferred them to five gallon root maker root trapper II pots filled with pro-mix and calcined clay. Humidity has been in the thirties and there's a temperature range of ~66-80. They were fed with ~200 ppm of dg 9-3-6 yesterday morning. How many ppm should one be feeding in soilless throughout the cycle assuming plants are being fed with every watering?

g/l with the grow.. i grew the chocolate rain a few years ago, and it was pretty dank.. decent yielder from what i remember, although i didn't really find any chocolate leaning phenos, i'd grow it again for sure..

Thanks man, any input on feeding a feeding schedule for them? Hoping they turn around I shouldn't have bought shitty soil.

im trying to remember, it's been awhile now.. i don't remember them being overly picky though.. if i can think of anything else of use, i'll be sure to let you know..

Well as I suspected it's nutrient burn rather than the soil, they were flushed prior to transplant as a precaution going to start feeding with just 75 ppm

I'm growing them in amended roots organic soil and she won't take more than 300ppm. Week 1 of flower. I built up to that. Don't over water and they're slow feeders.

Loved my Chocolate Rain.....and I too found nothing "chocolate" about it. Average yielder, nice resin and an easy grow is about all I remember. I think I grew 6 plants under a 600 watts. To me your plants look over-watered a bit.......
