Allow me to begin by stating this is my first attempt at hydroponic growing and any input is greatly appreciated. As well this is my first attempt at a journal so any advice on what to add, how to group thoughts, or how to clarify anything obscure will also be taken into consideration. As stated in the title I am running Chemdog (unsure of the exact strain, it was received from an associate who forgot the genetics) in a green trees eb and flow system (2 1/2 gal buckets) using hydocorn for growth medium. My nutrient solution consists of House and Gardens Aqua Flakes, Pro-Tect, Cal-Mag, Rapid Start, zone, superthrive through transplanting stage, and drip clean. I feed 4 times daily and adjust ph accordingly to 5.6-5.9. Room temperature has lights off temps as low as 68 F while reaching a maximum of 77 F during lights on, humidity ideally stays from 40-60% according to emptying my dehumid punctually. Humidity has been irritating as the clones I received were plagued by the monstrous pm.... Plants are 1 month and 2 weeks and have been changing res weekly. Began feedings at 350 ppm, 1ml p/g A and B 2 mp p/g Cal-Mag and gradually increased from there. This weeks res was made at 580 with 3ml p/g A, B, and Cal Mag. I feel I may want to add slightly more Cal-Mag input after I post images would be appreciated. I have slight lime shading to some leaves from under nutrients in past weeks (as I said my first hydro grow and am trying to avoid over nuting and salt build ups) though I feel with this weeks new higher dosage my issues should resolve. Since making the new nutes yesterday my plants growth has been great, this has me eagerly awaiting flowering! I will be posting pictures tomorrow, it is late and time to go to bed for now. Final note running MHS at 750 watts.
